Fashion in Review + Behind the Scenes of the Blog

Good Thursday morning! WOW, can you girls believe today is the last day of the month? This month flew by, even though it was a short month it still feels like it went by in cyber speed. Although it went by fast, it certainly came with some unexpected surprises – the biggest one was the FLU! I want you girls to know that I really appreciated all your comments and emails – that meant more than you will ever know.

I thought I might show you a little “behind the scenes” of blogging and what the blogger actually sees. I get asked a ton of questions all the time about how blogging works, so I thought I would share a few insights with you. Hopefully, it will be interesting for you to see what all my followers are “collectively” looking at on the blog. I find this type of stuff fascinating, that may be my accountant side coming out – who knows! As soon as I typed that last sentence, I immediately had the thought, “Oh God- you are such a big nerd” LOL!

I thought I would hit some highlights of the month and things you may have missed. This month was a great month for styling transitional clothing. The highest ranking blog was Must-Have Spring Jacket and honestly, this is one of my favorite outfits from this month. Not only was this the “Most Read” blog post, but it also had the “Most Popular” item of the month.

In this post, I decided to go with this cute Linen Utility Jacket from Cato. The color is Walnut (looks OLIVE to me) and it cinches at the waist and has the option to roll your sleeves up or leave them down. This is a thin jacket, almost like a heavier button-down shirt and it snaps down the front. I have worn this little jacket numerous times since this post. I can throw it on and head out the door if it’s a little chilly outside and I don’t need a heavier cost. this will be perfect for March and April.

This blog actually had 2 items that were at the top of the list. The number one item in February was the black and stripe T-shirt set called the Daily Ritual Women’s Midweight 100% Supima Cotton Rib Knit Short-Sleeve V-Neck T-Shirt, 2-Pack. These come in a variety of colors, stripes, and solids. The best thing about this t-shirt is not only it wears GREAT – you get 2 t-shirts for only $20!! Ten dollars a tee…Umm, yes please -who doesn’t LOVE a deal???!!! Get yours HERE!

The jeans styled in this blog came in at Number 3 and let me say – that I have really enjoyed these jeans. I have worn them right much and it’s been kind of chilly at times here in NC. I know some of you still have snow on the ground – (I’m so sorry-cause it was a lot of snow for you) and a lot of us got rain- but I still wore these jeans with boots that were either to my knee or to mid-calf length. The cropped jeans fell right at my ankle- so these jeans can be worn all year round if you choose to do so. The jeans I am wearing in the picture above are from JustFab called the Button Front Vintage Slim Cuff Jeans in Aqua Frisa. They fit true to size and the length comes right above my ankle, I’m 5’7″. They cuff is sewn in and it has a ragged hemline to it. These are perfect for Spring and Summer, they aren’t really thick jeans, and they have “give” in them. Get the Cuff Jean HERE.

The second most popular item was the Natural (non-synthetic) Bristle Brush from Amazon for Dry Brushing. Love Yourself With This Little Beauty Tip came out mid-February and was on the Top 10 Posts of the February.

Excerpt from Love Yourself…: Your skin, the largest organ in the human body is an organ of elimination. One-third of your body’s toxins are excreted through the skin and dry brushing helps to unclog pores and excrete toxins that become trapped in the skin. Sounding pretty good so far, huh? So how do you do it? Read it HERE.

The Most Popular Shoe was my favorite transitional sandal, the MVE Shoes Women’s Chunky Heel Cutout Bootie -Comfy Pointed Toe Boots. This is a great “shootie” that can be worn through Summer. It has been a favorite of mine for over a year now. I have 2 colors in this bootie – I’m on my feet a lot and this shoe has been stylish and comfy.

This shoe was featured in the #2 Most Read Post, 3 Different Looks With 3 Items. Read it HERE. I will be doing more blog posts like this one going forward. You girls seemed to really like seeing how you can wear a piece a few different ways. I would like a little feedback if you are looking casual outfits, workwear outfits or a mixture of both. I do have some posts coming up that are outfits that can go from Day to Night. We all need those types of outfits at times.

The Most Popular Sunday Blog Post, Coffee & Girl Talk Sunday was on Unconditional Love. This tells a bit about my past and how God watches over us all in times we are going through the storms of life. It posted the Sunday before Valentine’s Day and was a “right on time’ post talking about love. To read it click HERE.

The most popular jewelry item was the February Customer Special, I knew it would be since it was such a great deal. JBloom featured the 15′ – 18′ Cube Necklace that can be personalized on the blocks for FREE. Today is the last day to get this deal, so don’t wait! It’s only $20 (a $12.00 savings!). Get the Monthly Special HERE.

This was my very first Month in Review, so if you girls like to see what’s going on let me know. If not – this will be the last one LOL! I am heading out to work then I have to get the house pulled together and I’m headed off to Atlanta for the R+F Convention. I will be sure to get some pictures with Tania from 50 is Not Old blog and get them up Saturday and Sunday. I want to show you girls all that we do – since Tania is a blogger, I’m sure she’s willing to get pictures and maybe some videos together. I’m driving down to Atlanta, so say a prayer if you will!! Have a great Thursday and stay safe!
