Hello 2-0-1-8. This is my first official blog of the YEAR! While it wasn't planned, I decided to take a little time away from the blog to get focused for the year. Here's the fact of the matter, you can't plan properly or make attainable goals when you are running around like a chicken with your head cut off.

And we are TWO SLEEPS away from NEW YEARS EVE! Just in case you missed the excitement in that first sentence, I'm pretty jazzed for NYE. In fact, it's one of my favorite holidays! There's just some about getting dressed up, going out for a steak dinner, sipping fake champs and staying up until midnight that makes my heart sing!

There's no doubt about it...I'm a sucker for the more fanciful things in life. I love getting dressed up, having my hair done and getting my nails done! As I've said before, just ask my mom and she will tell you that I've been an ultimae Priss Pot since my early years. haha.

I got share my style secret for da season...Banana Republic has been beyond good to my wardrobe this year! It's truly become one of my go-to places for chic statement pieces. Let me just be honest, I'm popping in about once a week...that's how much I'm loving them right now! That's a whole lot of LOVE.

Emerald Eyes. Pretty clever name for a post, huh? Wish I could take credit, but I gotta give props to my sister-in-law, Katelyn for sharing her creative brain with me. And speaking of Katelyn, you guys may have noticed on Instagam the {seemingly overwhelming} amount of images showcasing the splendor of North Carolina.

The first weekend of December has already come and gone...we are officially in full Holiday mode! If your schedule is anything like mine, this upcoming weekend commences the first wave of holiday parties/gatherings. For nearly 11 months of the entire year, I do everything in my power to reserve holiday sequins for the month of December ONLY. There's just something about sequins in December that make me one happy camper.

It appears that we are skipping Fall this year. With the time change and the sudden bitter cold, I'm taking the time to flashback to a quick moment. One of those few days when I think we all experienced true fall feels! Second to summer, Fall is my favorite season.

Now that I actually have to get up on Mondays...I can honestly say...those Monday Blues are REAL. I love a fresh start to the week, but the weekend seemingly just whips by and before you know it, it's time to start all over again. Sigh. Such is life or Jason would say, "Welcome to the real world Candace." While I may not be the fondest of Mondays these days, I will say that I'm pretty darn proud of the level of consistency that's been happening with the site since I started with Wardrobe Therapy.

Woke up this morning and first thing I did was turn on the HEAT. As of 6:30AM it was 45 degrees out, which means one thing...SWEATER WEATHER. It goes without saying, but I think we have all been anxiously awaiting sweater weather. After all, it's the best part of Fall.

Overalls for fall 2017? Yes, please. I must admit, I captured these super cool photos seemingly forever ago, but they are totally fall worthy! Additionally, overalls are still a very in thing, so why not share a little style inspiration with you all.

I know, I know. It's not actually GOOD FRIDAY, but I have some pretty stellar news and couldn't think of a more fitting name for today's post. As you guys may know, I graduated from graduate school last summer. While we already had plans to make the transition to Columbus, OH, a major reason why we moved here was so that I could pursue a career in Fashion.

Remnants of Summer '17. If there was a penny for every time I said, "I can't believe how fast time flies," you gals and guys would be RICH. As I grow older, it truly feels like time flies by in super sonic speed.

I think it goes without saying, but I've got a thang for off-the-shoulder everythang. Seriously, I don't think I could be more in LOVE with a trend. In all honesty, I'm praying that this trend never goes out of style.

Another day of late summer style. It's no surprise, but I have amazingly long legs. My legs are so long that I often steer clear of wearing "mini" anything. But with chambray everything being so popular, I had to go for this mini denim dress from Tobi.

And the late summer wanderlust continues. Seriously friends, I have sooooo much summer stuff its kinda crazy. Well, actually just about two more weeks worth and we will be moving right into Fall. While I am definitely a summer lover, I am over the moon for cool temperatures, pumpkin spice things and scarves.

You know that moment when you ruin one of your favorite pieces in the wash? Welp, that happened THIS WEEK to THIS TOP. Devastated does not even begin to explain how upset I am about loosing this piece from my summer wardrobe collection. At least I was able to get some good photos in it before I ruined it.

I was cruising around the Nordstrom website and realized that THIS embroidered moto is currently ON SALE. And then I realized I still had these images, so I decided to whip up a quick post for you lovelies!

And just like that, it's already time for school to commence again! Well, not for me, but for all the kiddos and college students out there. I'm finding it a little hard to believe that I have been done with graduate school for exactly a year and two months NOW. While I miss the idea and routine of school, I don't actually miss "school."
