What I Wore in Review: October 2010
WhatIWore:
October was another month full of memories for me. We took our honeymoon in Iceland, came home and moved to Indiana four days later. And I couldn’t be happier about it. It seems strange, but living in a smaller town has been really inspiring for me. I feel at home in my own skin. Does that make sense?

What I Wore in Review: August 2010

What I Wore in Review: July 2010
WhatIWore:
As I read through these posts, I see myself complaining about the final (hot) days of summer and wishing for cooler temperatures. For those of us who live with four seasons, I suppose we’ll always feel that way. Itching for Spring come Winter and tired of heat during the dog days of Summer. I’m going to do my best to embrace a super cold and (hopefully) snowy winter this...

Guest Post: New American Style
I’ve asked my fellow Midwesterner and blogger, Cary Randolph to share a guest post on American style. This girl has got. it. down.
American style is self-made. It’s borrowed. From your boyfriend, your ancestors, your favorite movie star. It’s a wool peacoat from the Army-Navy and the slinkiest stiletto heel. American style is rooted in history: for every Norwegian sweater...

What I Wore in Review: May 2010
WhatIWore:
When I look back at May, I definitely see a turn towards much more casual outfits. As my fellow fashion bloggers understand, when you’re super busy, sometimes your outfit photos (and outfits in general) just take the back seat. But that’s life! I still feel pretty great about being able to make casz dressing so fun. Which makes me want to know…

Blue Lagoon Review
WhatIWore: When the folks over at Blue Lagoon asked me if I’d be up to review a couple of products, I jumped at the chance. If you’ve been reading WIW for a while, you might remember that Adam and I went to Iceland for our honeymoon and spent an entire day relaxing at the Blue Lagoon and it was so. much. fun.

I’ve been receiving Barbie ornaments for the past 20 years from my parents and uncle Walt as Christmas gifts. I love them!

And then came back to a lot of snow. I stayed home!
Next I got all Annie Hall and wore a long camel coat.
I posted Tuesday’s outfit on...

What I Wore in Review: January 2010
WhatIWore:
It’s kind of amazing to me how I can look at a photo of an outfit and remember exactly what I did that day, how I felt, what the weather was like… all of it. It’s especially fun for me go month by month back over my archives to pull together a review of 2010. I hope you enjoy it too!

And yesterday I broke out tone on tone tights and shoes.
