state of grace



i'm still posting outfits from 2012, i'm listening to taylor swift all too much, it's the first day of the new year, and i'm happy.  a lot went wrong in 2012, but then it all shifted to a whole lot of great. i rarely am one to utter the phrase, 'everything happens for a reason', but when things happen because of REASONS, it starts to make more sense. 
good things that happened: i started my new job, i met michael, i moved, michael and i started dating, i finished two semesters (one more to go!), did my first sacramento based craft fair, ~lost some more weight~, and made new plans for 2013 (which i will speak of later). 
i spent new years eve with michael, eating snacks, watching a documentary (marwencol), and parks and recreation and cuddling. it was perfect. 






this outfit contains many of my favorite colors and items. and i don't have much else to say beyond that. it seems a lot of people are losing their blogging spirit, and i might be in that group as well. i got busy, i got lazy, i preferred to sleep in with the boyfriend rather than get dressed for school. i'm not sure where this blog will go, i'm surprised it has gone as far as it has, but i love some of the people i've met because of it. so, why not keep it up?





details:
cardigan: target
shirt: forever 21
skirt: american apparel via asos
shoes: payless
barrette: charlavail

i also updated my etsy shop with lots of new stuff! and i'm currently working on even more!

  3. Happy New Year, Bethany! ;D I'm glad that your 2012 turned out to be great in the end and I'm sure the one we have just started has a lot of awesome moments in store for you. I don't like saying "everything happens for a reason" either, but yeah, sometimes when you look back at the not-so-cool things you had to go through, you kind of feel ok about them because they took you where you are now, which is a good place ;).

    Oh, don't stop blogging (unless you start dreading it, haha)! I like reading you!

    Hugs!

    Miki.
