Soles and Sleeves

My high school friend Kallie tied the knot this past September and a special occasion calls for a new dress! Kallie and I met in high school when we were not only both on the softball team (where she once nailed me in the hip with the ball, lol) but also had a number of classes together all 4 years. We became quick friends and always have a great time together.

We tore up the dance floor!

When telling other people about Kallie, it often starts with "My friend Kallie, she shows cows!... and goes to poultry judging classes!..." She's country to the core and I love it.

I'm very big on birthdays and special occasions, and am strongly against myself wearing something I've worn a number of times to something as special as a wedding. Clothing holds memories and I like special memories to have the first impression on a fantastic new outfit. So the hunt for a great dress began...the day before the wedding! I am so, so pleased with the dress I found.

Little did I realize it would become a dress I would rock year round!

Not only are rules meant to be broken, they also change over time. Iconic designer Michael Kors said this rule is null and void!

So throw caution to the wind and pull out those winter whites!

I came across this watch on Pinterest, and of course added it to my "Yes, Please" board, and continued on my happy little pinning way.

A couple months roll by and one day in March my boyfriend came over to hang out and handed me a box. "It was supposed to be your birthday gift, but it was backordered" he said.

Inside was this watch.
