30 x 30: Fourteen // Feeling Free

I had fun with this photo session as you can probably tell by the massive amount of pictures in this post. It was hard to narrow it down! I didn't manage to get those blue bonnet pictures just yet but there's still plenty of time to find the perfect blue bonnet patch and strike a pose ;) 

I'm really enjoying this spring and the slower pace of blogging. I've thought long and hard a decided that no fuss blogging is definitely for me. So with that in mind I've decided to nix the extra features on HN like my blogger spotlight (Big Thanks to Katie & Gabby for taking part in it!) & I even enjoyed writing a few posts with tips but I've really felt more relaxed lately without scheming new ideas. I'm just not that kind of blogger & I'm cool with that. From here on out this place will focus on outfits, plain & simple. I'm still planning on finishing out this 30 x 30 series (no matter how long it takes!) & after that I'm keeping things around here simple. Funny thing is that has me even more excited to blog again. When you do this for a few years it's super easy to experience burn out and I've definitely been there from putting so much pressure on myself. I've come so close to calling it quits and instead of throwing away everything I've worked on for the past five years I've decided to just do what I want to do.

This ended up turning into more of a rant than I intended it to but my message is pretty simple. In the blogging world it can get really easy to get caught up in what other blogs are doing, and if you try to do what other blogs are doing chances are you'll feel dissatisfied with your own blog, so just do your own thing and don't worry about everyone else.

Springtime Uniform

Dress: Hand-Me-Down // Jacket: Chadwicks // Hat: H&M (men's) // Slip-ons: Walmart // Pin: Vintage

This is a variation of my favorite spring outfit. It's an easy combination and super versatile. This is the formula: Denim Jacket + Sundress + Sensible shoes + Hat. That's it! Super cute, comfortable and easily customizable. 

This was the perfect outfit for exploring around my new place - until it started raining. Ha! I found one good spot for outfit pictures before the rain came at least :) The hubby snapped these quickly and we ran back to the safety of our apartment. I declared that exploration trip a success even if we only scoped at one spot, it's one more than I had before!

 My goal for the next outfit photo session is to take them near wildflowers, specifically blue bonnets. If you're from Texas or have ever visited here in the spring then you probably know that blue bonnet picture taking is a must this time of year. I don't want to miss out on that tradition so it's on my to do list this spring :)
