so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye...

so i know i've been a little quiet on the blog front lately,
but that's because my bf, john, is leaving for bootcamp in two days...
so i've been trying to spend as much time as possible with him...

which of course meant that i had to throw a last minute camo party for everyone to say 
farewell!

party prep in my camo mrd;)

did you know you have to actually put these stupid things together...it took me forever to attach those damn parachutes....lame

i love my mom...sooooo much!!!

cousins, siblings, fiances....and me lol




a little bro love

it's not a party without some props:)

army men cupcakes...vanilla latte...delish!

dress to impress project

during my senior year of high school (like a hundred years ago)
i had a fashion journal...
i would write down what i wore every day and i tried not to repeat my outfit for at least 3 months...
yeah i obviously was cray-cray...
like, how did i even afford all those clothes??
limited too must have paid me really well for that after school job lol!!

thankfully i am no longer like that...
ok so there are some things that i have only worn like once, but who doesn't do that;)
so when the lovely Suz Stephenson, from well to do, you contacted me about a new project she was doing i was more than happy to participate! 

via
the {dress to impress} project is all about wearing the same thing...every day!!!
L.L. Bean Signature donated a super cute navy turtleneck sweater dress that suz will be wearing everyday for the month of jan and accessorizing it with items donated from big names stores to local boutiques to etsy designers!  it's a great way to show that even if you only have one nice item of clothing you can make it look brand new with a few simple accessories.  after the month is over all the accessories that were part of the project will be donated to Dress for Success Southern Maine to help give women the confidence boost they need to make positive changes in their lives!!  yay!!!

suz has already been on several local new stations including...
good day maine (where she gives mrd a little shout out)
and WABI-TV5 (where you can also see an mrd)

and today, look #5 pretty pizzazz featured mrd's janey:)
