Well, hello, November!! Can you believe that we are only weeks away from Thanksgiving. Before I start planning outfits for all of the holiday events, I just enjoy the many ways that the cooler weather allows us to spice up a basic pair of jeans.
My favorite way to style those basic jeans would have to be an oversized sweater and booties.
But, I also love to spice up those jeans with a pretty top, moto jacket and pumps.
And, lastly, I adore the super casual look with a basic tee, cardigan and my Vans.
While on the subject of style, myself and 49 other amazingly talented bloggers were featured by Southern Living as Southern Fashion Instagrams to Follow Now. It was such an honor to be included with so many other ladies that truly inspired me to begin blogging. This field is over saturated with thousands and thousands of gorgeous, super stylish babes. I never thought that I would ever reach the growth and the connections that I have developed. This process has taught me to appreciate all of the hard work that others invest to build their brand and all of the diversity that this industry has to offer. I am not in competition with anyone. We are on the same journey to share our passions with ordinary people (normal in society, rather than people who are considered to be important).
So, THANK YOU, Southern Living, and THANK YOU, friends (near and far) and family for showing Dashing Darlin’ support and encouragement. It truly means so much to me.
NOW …it’s time for a fabulous giveaway! I’ve teamed up with an amazing group of bloggers to give YOU a chance to win: $500 in PayPal Cash for the holidays!
Simply enter below by completing the rafflecopter. You’ll receive one entry per completion. This giveaway is open internationally and runs until 11/15. Winner will be announced here. Good Luck!
