I think it is time to change up the outfit posts on Mondays. I need some new creative spin to keep the motivation going. With so many bloggers doing fashion posts now, its time to think outside of the box. I loved when these posts were centered around modest fashion, and I would like to bring that back a little as well as change up the main focus of the post. It may be more photography based or color themed, but whatever it is, I promise to keep it interesting:) Thanks to those of you who left some great feedback on facebook and instagram. I have some new ideas to work into the blog thanks to you! A special thank you to my friend Trish who reminded me that when we have a restlessness with our passions and creativity its often an indicator we need to reach higher and challenge ourselves beyond the norm. I was so inspired by this that I got out the good old bedside pen and paper and started jotting ideas.

Moral of the story: Surround yourself with people who uplift and encourage you to be more, and once in a while reach higher than you think you are capable of:)

P.S. How am I adjusting to life with three? Giving myself three months before I feel guilty about anything. Thanks to Lindsay for the perfect “adjusting to a new baby addendum.”

    I was going to say…I loved it when you focused on the colors, prints…close-ups on those. You’ve got such an eye! The modesty series was also lovely. 🙂

    Can’t believe you just had a baby. You look great! I think you have gotten very good advice. I would read you no matter but isn’t it great to have that support! Always nice to have someone believe in you when your days are too busy to even think of yourself. Good job!

  3. Kate Harvey says:

    You look beautiful and I’m looking forward to the new direction! I must have missed your modesty series so I looked up some of your old posts and I LOVE your perspective on this. I’m right there with you–we should reveal our dignity and beauty in how we dress, and I do think modesty is largely a lost virtue. Have you read Wendy Shalit’s “A Return to Modesty”? You might enjoy that.

    I love how I keep discovering new things about you to admire 🙂

  4. “Yep – I just delivered a 9 pound baby and I look awesome!” The only thing missing from these pics is a speech bubble that says just that 🙂

    Hi Anna! Congrats on your new little one! He is precious.
    A friend of mine did a 30×30 remix challenge on her blog, which I think is great idea when we are always craving something “new” without spending more.

    I think I may have to try this myself sometime!

    says:

    Well, you look incredible for having just had a baby in the last couple of weeks! Further, you must be doing better than most of us would be adjusting to a new life of 3 children, since you have these great lists coming and keeping yourself looking fabulous! I felt like I could barely get myself dressed everyday when my daughter was first born!

  12. LOVE Trish’s advice! Like so, so much. I needed that!

  13. You look stunning (can’t believe you just had a baby!), and I love this look on you. I’ve been thinking about my own outfit posts lately (especially now that I’m pregnant!) and how to bring some freshness to them. What you did today definitely worked, so keep it up! 🙂 xo

  14. Jessica says:

    Ok I just had a 9 lb 12oz, 22″ baby last week and haven’t even attempted to bust out the outfit posts yet. Way to go, you look BEAUTIFUL! I guess I could at least put on some makeup during the day!

  15. Love the idea of challenging yourself! And love the whole look you’re wearing.

  16. Richele says:

    Too cute! You look amazing! I just love this outfit post, not to mention your jewellery <3
    xo

  17. You are so freaking pretty!!!!

  18. Rebekah Rose says:

    I love the print! Fantastic!

  19. This is such a gorgeous outfit Anna! I love the modest take and gorgeous shape silhouette of the outfit!

    xoxo,

  21. Janssen says:

    I can’t wait to see what you do with these kinds of posts. You are so good at making something fresh and new.
