*taps mic* This thing on?
It's been almost six months since my last blog post. 6. Long. Months. Back in the day I would have never gone longer than six days, let alone six months, without having new content. So why did I stop blogging with no notice or explanation?
One month passed. No new posts. Then another two months passed. No new style posts. Then my six or seven year blogiversary came on September 1 and I still didn't blog and really didn't care.
Well, I was tired. But it was more than that. I'v been tired before, downright exhausted and I still managed to push through. This was different.

Well, during my last Today Show appearance, I loved a dress so much, I went back to the store and bought it.While I gravitate towards bold prints and structured garments, sometimes it's the most basic pieces that have a huge impact. That's what happened with this H&M tank dress that was just $12.95. It goes with everything and has been in heavy rotation in my closet for the past two months.

It's totally natural to have a body part that isn't exactly your favorite asset. Well, fast forward a few years and I'm proudly showing serious leg in a pair of DIY cutoffs.
