There are a bunch of posts I want to squeeze into this month, so I’m combining this week’s Love List with my October goals! September was a great month–definitely one of the best of the year so far. Even though it obviously looks a little different than last fall, it feels so good to be […]

I have a folder on my computer from 2012 called “Outfits” containing a few dozen mirror selfie pictures chronicling outfits I wore and loved throughout my last year of college.
