Happy New Year, darling friends!!! I hope your evening was fun (and safe!), and you woke with joy and optimism for the new year! I love a fresh start, and that’s what January 1 always feels like to me. I’ve been thinking on the coming year, and the goals I have both personally and professionally. Would you want to chat about it here on the blog?
Today we’re resuming the look back at 2019, with my favorite style posts of the year. Fashion has been a big part of this blog from the very beginning… in fact, I had an Outfit Inspiration post in my first week of blogging… but I beg you not to go back and look at it! Let’s just say I’ve learned a little in the last almost-11 years! (Can you believe I’ve been blogging that long!? #OG)
I prefer my fashion posts to be helpful, as well as inspirational, so most times I’m giving you multiple ways to style and wear new items. Along with Faves Under $50 posts, these were some of your favorites in the Style category…
My Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Collections topped the list, and I couldn’t be happier or more grateful! Be sure to come back Monday for a brand new announcement!!

I always love having my family share the blog with me, and had quite a few fun shoots with them this year.

I added Target Hauls to the mix, and they quickly became favorites!

Dressing Room Diaries posts have been favorites around here for awhile… especially now that Mama Sugarplum is involved!
But the overwhelming reader favorite style posts remain the Amazon Fashion Finds! In fact, the posts are at the top for the entire year!
The goal isn’t to have more clothes, but to create more options with the items you do have! And when you do shop, to thoughtfully add new items that stretch your wardrobe even further! Do you enjoy the various style series? Which are your favorites? Anything you’d like to see more of in 2020?

Slowly recovering from the holiday season at this end of the country. Still smiling, still grateful.

Well, you practically DARED me to go back and look. And yes, you’ve learned a lot since then. I wish you would repost that headless pic. Your photo skills back then are about par with mine of today but your writing skills and style are spot on from the very beginning. Your personality and humor comes through.
PS I’m going to go get dressed in black jeans and leopard top (from one of your inspiration photos).
haha — I know, right?! Happy new year…your outfit sounds darling!
Happy New Year to you and your family! 🥳🥂
Thank you, Wanda! Happy new year to you! xo. C
Happy New Year, Cassie! Your Gibson X Hi Sugarplum posts are fabulous, and I’m a huge fan of the Target hauls and the Sugarplum Style posts too! Your posts are always so well organized and it’s nice to come back and re-read for more inspiration. I love following along!
Thank you so much, Kelsey! I’m so glad to hear that my recaps are helpful for inspiration! Thanks so much for reading! xo, Cassie
