Can we just take a quick moment to talk about how crazy this weather has been lately? I know it’s been across the country crazy so I know we can all relate.  My sinuses have been all over the place because one minute it’s freezing and then 2 days later it feels like Spring.  Back in October I was wishing and hoping for cold weather so I could wear all my favorite winter coats & bundle up in scarfs….now that Mother Nature as granted me the cold weather I wanted for Christmas now in January I’m a little like “ok thanks, but now I’m a little over it, I want Spring”. I guess that’s why they say be careful what you wish for.  However, I am going to take advantage of finally being able to wear this adorable chunky knit scarf & a real coat without burning up.

It’s so funny to see how much your style can change in just one year.  Looking back on previous posts & even through my closet I’ve noticed a slight change in things I once loved and now I’m kind of over and things I never thought would become a staple like the black pumps I’m wearing.  Me. In heels, yeah right…if you asked me this time last year.  Now it’s the first things I look at in the shoe department.

A new year means new beginnings and big changes….for me it means a new car.  I’ve been going back & forth with the process of finding a new car for like over a year and now the time has come and it’s officially here and really happening I’m beyond excited but so nervous.  First off, buying a new car is like the hardest most annoying thing ever.  I can’t for the life of me decided on one car, I have like 5 I want.  I can’t talk to car dealers at all so my parents are having to help which is awesome to have them help because I know I won’t get screwed over.  It’s like a bitter sweet goodbye.  I currently have a 4-runner that I bought all by myself right before leaving for college at Alabama. I fit my entire life in her to head off to college, back & forth from T-town, to visit all my friends away in their college towns and I can’t even count how many trips to the beach….beach sand became a staple in her after college when I practically lived at the beach that summer.  It also toted me to first Market in ATL when I launched my boutique.  It’s crazy that something like a car can become somewhat sentimental.  Am I crazy?  I typically am not attached to anything, I’m one of those who constantly donating everything after a few months or giving it to my friends.  Maybe it’s because it represents my first big purchase as a young adult and holds all those memories of college.  2017 is all about a new chapter and I’m excited to make new big moves this year!

I hope y’all’s new year is off to a great start! I still can’t believe how quick last year flew by!
