Happy Friday! (and TGIF let me tell you). Amen.
Today celebrates 3 years of me publicly blabbering on Cassidy Lou (and my 500th blog post!), which is wonderful, crazy and slightly embarrassing all at the same time. If I were a real fashion blogger I would have a perfectly staged professional photo shoot of me holding a giant number 3 balloon and throwing confetti. But, alas, I’m not. I’m currently sitting at the office with no makeup, half of my nails painted & wearing my glasses; dreaming about the nap I’m going to take after work.
In honor of 3 years, I did some digging through the good ol’ blog archives and found my favorites I wanted to revisit. I chose my top 15 favorite outfits (ever!) and my top 15 posts that reveal more about me personally and my experiences over the past 3 years. Scroll below to check them all out 🙂
It appears that blogging (and writing in general) are therapeutic for me, so expect a lot more writing as I keep going through this (somewhat uncomfortable) transition to my life in Southern California.
mixed prints downtown /// “dressy” overalls /// a killer Rent the Runway look
full floral suit /// my favorite (faux) leather dress /// pattern overload
a polka dot dream /// Lauren Conrad feature /// head to toe sequins
sneakers in San Francisco /// plaid in Northern Michigan /// feelin’ like a lady
Nikes in Paris /// Pineapple party /// colorful Santa Fe
Thank you SO much to anyone who takes time out of their day to read Cassidy Lou. I really appreciate you; whether you’re a consistent reader, a sporadic reader, or someone just creeping from high school to make sure I haven’t gained 40lbs or gotten too weird. You all rock.
also. HUGE shoutout to all the friends and family members I con into taking pictures of me. You’re the real MVPs.
Last but not least (I feel like I’m making an Oscar speech; just notably less important), here are my 15 favorite writing focused posts; dealing with everything from my most embarrassing moment, to figuring out what the heck I should do with my degree.
