It finally got warm and sunny here after what seemed like months of dreary gray and rain. Meredith needed a little personal attention from mommy, so we had a girls’ day with a friend of mine. A little shopping, visiting my brother, and then walking around one of the nice big parks in town. Very fun. And hey, this is my first attempt at some outfit photos! Over the past year I’ve developed a pretty strong sense of my personal style so I thought it’d be fun to share. Unfortunately we were out and about in the middle of the day so the lighting here is pretty harsh, but you get the idea right? Meredith’s wardrobe is almost all hand-me-downs…

I’m not a trendy person and I’m on a severe budget when it comes to many things, including clothes. I wear scrubs all week long so it’s hard for me to spend money on them. BUT because of that, I do like to (try to) put a little more effort into my appearance on the weekend. I’m 30 years old now; it’s time for me to develop some sort of personal style.
