Is it really 2013? Wasn't I just in high school not too long ago??? Ehhh, sure Maycie, sure... Actually, January reminds me that I only have five more months left in my 20s. Five more months y'all! Time flies doesn't it? What?! Did I just say, "time flies doesn't it?" I really am departing my 20s (boohoohoo). For now, I'll spare you guys the whole, "Oh my freaking god, I'm turning 30" story. For now at least...
2013 is gonna be the B.O.M.B (that's the old 90s teen coming out)! I just know it. I don't usually make new years resolutions or anything like that, but I promised myself I would use my camera more this year. That's the closest I'll get to a new years resolution, I guess. I'd really love to capture more of the everyday moments I have with my family. Also, I'd love to actually have those photos printed out and in photo albums, like a much more organized normal person would. Does anybody do that anymore? Do you keep photos on your computer or disks like I do? Ben always gets on my butt about backing up my computer files. He's the hard drive police around these parts (thanks hon!).
Now, let's move on to a much more important topic, like this taupe circle dress I have on. I made it last month for a friend's birthday dinner. You can see another view of this dress here. I used a wool blend fabric, fully lined it, and installed an invisible zipper in the center back. I really enjoyed making it and I especially enjoy twirling in it too. It's definitely the most princess-y piece in my closet. I played it down with my Zara leather jacket, black tights, and my old Steve Madden wedges. Ooh... I can't wait for spring and summer to come! I know for sure I'll be making this dress in an assortment of other fabrics. Florals and brightly colored ones galore! I see a lot more twirling in my future. Beware!
What are your plans this year? Is there anything specific you'd like to cross off your 2013 must-do and/or must-make list?

This is way cute! I love it! I don't think I have a single piece with a full or twirly skirt, but they seem so fun and I like that you've downplayed the super girlie style here with a neutral color.
And I'm 30. Dude. We're old as sh*t.
Ha, what a cute post, love your way of writing! Time really flies, and most people - like me - recognize that in January when a new year begins. Great idea taking more pics of small things in every day life. And: I'm that sort of person who actually really has an old school photo album (printed, off-line ;) ). xoxo
