Yesterday I shared a somewhat casual NYE look so today, I’m sharing more NYE outfit inspo. But something a little more dressy and fancy if that’s what you’re going for. But also totally comfortable and practical.
Strappy heels are great and all but I cannot walk or stand in those things all night. So booties are always a great alternative. This dress is actually a Carly from LuLaRoe’s Elegant Collection and it’s been perfect for any of the holidays! And it’s super comfortable so another plus.
Aside from the NYE outfit Inspo, and being that tomorrow is the LAST day of 2016, I wanted to reflect on the past year. Because so much has happened and it’s been a wild ride. And I have even bigger plans for 2017.
But those plans wouldn’t be anything without all of you. You, who come to this blog or follow along on Instagram and support me in my creative endeavors. Whether you’ve been reading for years or you’re new here, thank you.
Thank you for caring enough to see how things are going.
Thank you for trusting me when I share new products and services.
Thank you for the kind words and virtual hugs when I’ve needed them.
I could go on and on but mostly, thank you for letting me be me. I know I can come to this place and be 100% honest and real. That y’all know it’s a “what you see is what you get” kind of deal and I’ll never pretend to be someone I’m not. I’ll share my ups and does and everything in between.
I can share my diagnosis of panic disorder and the struggles of living with anxiety.
I can tell you when I’m being a bad mom and feel like nothing I do is right.
I can share my discomfort and lack of confidence when I’ve gained weight.
I can talk about depression without feeling like I’m broken.
I can just be me. And that alone is an amazing feeling.
I have big plans for 2017 and I can’t wait to have you all join me on the journey. You guys rock and I wouldn’t be where I am today without each and every one of you.
Peace out 2016; it’s time to slay 2017 <3
And because I love y’all so much, I’m ending 2016 with a bang and giving away a 4 piece capsule LuLaRoe wardrobe! Just enter the Rafflecopter giveaway below and cross your fingers! I’m jealous of this one friends! Good luck!

8 years agoi’ve been following your blog for about two years now and i can honestly say, you’re one of my top ones i can continue to come back to and not feel so “insecure” about myself, etc. i love all of your snaps and how you’re 100% real with them. most bloggers say they’re 100% real on snap, but that’s a total lie and it angers me HAHA ya know? i can’t wait to see what 2017 has in store for you and i’m happy that y’all’s move went smoothly 🙂
one of my biggest goes for 2017 and beyond is to be more confident in myself, in what i do, in what i say, in my work, in my friendships, my relationship with my boyfriend, etc. i think i’ve hidden that word for a long time and it’s time it needs to reappear <3
