Petite Panoply

It's time to finish up my 2016 outfit recap with some of my favorite from the last half of last year! Looking at these, I realize I was wearing a crap load of skater skirts, and for the repetition, I apologize. My wardrobe is largely in storage and the separates are a way to keep from wearing the same thing over and over, which is why you saw fewer dresses toward the end of last year. You'll also see my transition from bright red hair to light blonde in these photos. As always, click the numbers underneath the pictures to see the full post! One | Two | Three Four | Five | Six Seven | Eight | Nine Ten | Eleven | Twelve Thirteen | Fourteen | Fifteen The first half of 2016 was much better - on the whole - than the second half. Especially with regard to the blog. I apologize if I've bored you a little with my slow-down in posts and similar silhouettes, but that's what I've been wearing lately and my free time is at an all-time low....

Happy Sunday to you and welcome to part one of my 2016 outfit recap! I enjoy doing these recap posts each year because I get to look back on what I wore and see how things have changed throughout the year. I hope enjoy or at least don't mind taking a look back at some of my favorite things I've worn in the past year! As always, as you scroll through you can see the full post by clicking on the number underneath. One | Two | Three Four | Five | Six Seven | Eight | Nine Ten | Eleven | Twelve Thirteen | Fourteen | Fifteen Sixteen | Seventeen | Eighteen Nineteen | Twenty | Twenty-one Honestly, looking back, I'm just amazed at the amount of outfits I was able to post last year and it's hard remembering how good things were in the first half of 2016. We were in our own place with our dog and work was going well for both of us. In May, we'd found a bigger and cheaper place to live and were planning on moving down the s...

Now that we're getting toward mid-August, I thought I'd share some of my favorite products of this past summer. These all happen to be beauty/skincare related but this type of post can be expanded to other categories in future seasons! Read on to see what I've been loving the past few months. Bath & Body Works Malibu Heat shower gel  and ultra shea body cream - $12.50 / $13 (I got them on sale) - This scent has been my go-to this summer. It's fruitier than most of the other Bath & Body Works smells I own, but I've been enjoying the pineapple-y, sweet, coconut, ocean scent. It almost has a hint of bubblegum in there too. It's definitely a summery smell and will need to be put away for another summer once I can convince myself fall is sort-of on the horizon. The packaging is super pretty too!

I'm back for round two of my 2015 favorite outfits roundup! I can hear your cheers. These are my top picks so you may have another favorite; if you do, let me know! This final installment of my 2015 roundup includes outfits from summer to the end of the year. I would wear all of these again in an instant!  The first six or so looks are from this past summer and you'll notice a lot of nautical influence, which is pretty routine for me. What can I say? I enjoy a good mix of navy blue and red. The next seven through 18 are fall looks which tends to be my favorite season for dressing. It seems my main color scheme shifted a bit toward black and maroon in fall 2015. The last three are definitely holiday looks. Feel free to click through to see more pictures of each. I think this post gives a good overview of what my style is in case you're stopping by for the first time. one | two | three four | five | six seven | eight | nine ten | eleven | twelve t...

It's the beginning of the year and that means it's time for an outfit roundup! These are 18 of my favorite outfits from the first half of 2015. This year I tried my best to narrow down this roundup rather than show every single outfit I wore. It's difficult for me, which I guess is a good thing since that means I like my wardrobe!  Sometimes you don't realize you have distinct patterns to your style until you look at outfits in a roundup post like this. I noticed plenty of fit and flare dresses and lots of bold pattern and color, which I'm sure isn't news to you. There were some bodycon styles and pants thrown in too though! Take a look and let me know which outfit is your favorite!

I know I've been slacking on some of my usual posts the past few months, so to slightly make up for it, I've combined my September and October favorites into one epic fall fashion inspiration post. I spy plenty of 70s inspiration, button-down skirts, shift dresses, and great little jackets going on this season. All of these bloggers are super inspiring so I hope you come away from this post with at least one new outfit idea! The Styling Dutchman and The Clothes Horse are both rocking a-line skirts. I enjoy the 70s inspiration from Annebeth and the great mix of texture and neutral shades in Rebecca's outfit. 70s-inspired wide legged trousers and jeans are stealing the show at A Walk in the Park and The Flying Clubhouse . Larkspur Vintage and Being Little look lovely in fall layers and jewel tones. Both Skinny Hipster and Finding Femme look fantastic in yellow and white. I couldn't choose which of Southern California Belle's October outfits...

There is a pretty big mix of winter and spring looks going on in this roundup so I hope you can draw inspiration no matter what the temperature is where you live!

We're already half way through January so I thought it was time to get my butt in gear and show you my favorite blogger outfits from December. I can't believe this is the last of my favorites from 2014. Now we're on to a new year and I'm sure there'll be a ton of cute looks from everyone. I'm looking forward to being able to share those with you too. December had a lot of fun holiday looks but most of these are just as wearable through the winter as they were around Christmas. I noticed a ton of great layering and plenty of red shades going on last month. As always, everyone looked super cute!
