Rose A La Mode

The Last Year

by //

Well, since it’s the blog’s birthday, I thought I’d recap what’s been happening the last year throughout the week. Today, we’re talking outfits! I really feel like my style has changed and gotten better (I hope!!!) in the past year and I really have you to thank for it! When I started this, I decided to challenge myself to come up with more combinations and actually get dressed everyday most days. So since it’s the one year for the blog, I thought I’d share some of my favorites from the past year. (I put up links so you could go to the original articles.) Now, here they are in no particular order:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,  12, 13, 14, 15, 16

 I have to say, looking back at all the photos I’m kind of proud of myself. Sometimes I feel like I’m in a rut and everyone around me is so much more creative and has way more clothes than I do, etc. But looking at this all I realize that I have way more than I think. So I’m going to quit complaining and just be thankful.

PS: Thank you for all your support this past year! You’ve been AMAZING and have totally changed my life! xoxox

A Date

Bob and I got to go on a little date this week. I think low-key dates are always a fun surprise to the week. As you can see, we got pizza, ice cream and then (as you can’t see) we went to a movie. The most fun part about it was just getting out of the house! We were at home, working, all day and I just get stir crazy if I have to stay home all day! That’s the biggest thing I miss about my job was having friends at work and talking to lots of people everyday. Bob is totally a home body though. He can go a week before he starts to get antsy.

Speaking of quitting my job, I realized it’s been almost a year since I started the blog! I don’t know the exact date that I started it, so I’m deciding to celebrate on Monday. So, get your party hats ready.
