Best of 2016: Rocked it & Swapped it

Running this blog together is so special for us. We may not see each other every day or sometimes for weeks at a time, especially now that we live further apart so this joint space has a perfect way of keeping us connected on a regular basis. It all began with us swapping clothes...sharing our favorite pieces with each other and making something new again is not only where the blog started, but how our first business was born. One of our favorite posts is still actually one of our first -- Even though the look and content is very simple, we loved it because the situation was so unplanned – we showed up a family party wearing the exact same outfit head to toe and that was when we knew, these things need to be documented somewhere!

Alas, some of our best rock & swap posts of 2016:

Best of 2016: Kaitlyn's Style

With a new year right around the corner, it's normal to do some reflecting and usually, I am surprised how quickly the year went, almost in the blink of an eye. However, if I'm being honest, I feel like 2016 has worn out its welcome. 

That's not to say there haven't been some wonderful, memorable moments -- I turned 30, found happiness in yoga, went on a an amazing trip and exceeded my year end goals at work. On the other hand, I have negative feelings from this traumatic experience permanently stamped on this years package. I think it's what has made 2016 feel extra long...it happened in February, though it feels like ages ago and still creeps up every now and again so I'm officially ready to start a fresh chapter where that isn't part of the story. Not to mention, we all know it was such a turbulent, mentally exhausting year in media and politics. As we enter a very uncertain four years, there's one thing we can all acknowledge -- Being kind to one another is more important than ever.

When it comes to personal style, it was actually my favorite year yet. Looking back on the collection of outfits I put together is a true reflection of how I was feeling throughout the year -- More open to trying new things (aka obsessing over one piece swim suits!) and stepping out of my comfort zone (pinstripe jumpsuit, anyone?). It was a year of color, mixing prints and dressing for Fall, as it was the best one we've ever had in the midwest.

Here's a look back at 12 of my favorite outfits:

Best of 2016: Lisa's Style

How has another year already gone by? I don't know about you, but this year was slow at first, and now seems to be moving at lightening speed! As many blogging years prior to this one, I feel like my style has continued to change and grow. I kept my classic wardrobe staples and mixed them in with a few items I added along the way. (Sure, let's pretend it was only a few new items!) ;)

This year, like all before it, had some great highs and great lows on a personal level. The first six months of this year were the most difficult. I can't count the number of times I was beyond stressed out and cried for so many different reasons during that time. Life happens, you know? Then June hit, and you guys I kid you not when I say the last 6 months have been the best months in the last 10 years of my life! I so needed a good year and I gladly took 1/2 of a truly great one. Thank you to all of my friends and family that have been there for us this year, we are so blessed to have you all in our life. 

Now, back to fashion. Here is a look back at my favorite looks of 2016:
