I am so in love with this outfit.  It was comfy, casual, a bit feminine and really allowed this beautiful necklace to be the star.  I'm completely head over heels for this necklace.  Ive been waiting to feature it in an outfit post b/c it is going to be a part of an upcoming lookbook for The Bohemian Collective, but I just couldn't wait any longer.  It is such a statement piece.  And it comes in different colors/styles in her shop! 

This little crochet top I picked up at F21 when Katelyn was down last and Ive been waiting for spring to wear the crap out of it, like I somehow forgot all about layering!  No more forgetting now!!!  I love being able to transition pieces in my closet through all seasons to get as much use out of them as I can.

Last but not least, I have to talk about these boots!  They are soooooooooo perfectly me.  Love.  Sadly they are sold out at Lulu's, but keep an eye out b/c many times they restock best sellers!  They do have tons of other really cute boots though, and they are having a 40% off sale items right now plus free shipping!  (love my friends over at lulus)

So today is New Year's Eve.  A very introspective day for many as we begin to really think about what we want to change in our lives for the new year.  Not everyone makes resolutions, but most people do at least think about what transpired through the past year and what they would like to do differently in the next.  I know I do.  2013 really felt like a healing year for me, which means there was a lot of turmoil and heavy emotions that had to be gone through to really see the other side of things.  I feel like I truly did have to feel all of those emotions to be able to do that.  I know alot of it is not over, but I feel a huge weight has left my body this past month.  Some real releasing happened and it has made my heart feel so free and open to new ideas.  It's almost like a switch has been turned on all of a sudden that I previously couldn't find in the dark. 

I would love to thank all of my readers for the amazing year you have shown me through all of your loving and caring comments.  You have been such a support system to me through the years and this last one was no exception.  I feel like I have formed some of the deepest relationships thus far this past year with some of you.  Let's keep connecting in such a real way in 2014.  Namaste!
