One year ago, I created MelonyMelrose.com, an experiment my best friend urged me to try. I was apprehensive, nervous and naïve. I wasn’t sure I was cut out for fashion blogging— consistently putting great outfits together and committing to photo shoots every weekend. But, I guess I was.
It’s been one full year since my very first post went live and although I’ve considered quitting, I have decided that I won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. It’s been a year of change, growth and mistakes, but it’s one that has shaped me into a better blogger, writer and version of myself.
I have to give a special shout out to Natalie Craig for giving me guidance throughout this entire process. If it weren’t for her, I likely wouldn’t have even started a blog. Thanks for being my mentor, soundboard and photographer. I’m not sure what I’d do without you.
And thank you to those who regularly follow my blog. Whether you’re liking my Facebook shares, leaving comments of encouragement or just mentioning to me in passing that you read my latest post, thank you so much for the ongoing support. It really makes me feel like the time I invest in my blog is worth it. There’s many more outfits and fashion commentary to come, so don’t go anywhere please!
To mark my one year anniversary, I’ve dedicated this post to taking a look back at my top five favorite outfits from the last year. To date, I have more than 12,500 page views—not groundbreaking, but it’s exciting to me. So take a look at my best outfits over the past year, and as always, feel free to send me any feedback about this post or my blog in general.
