Hey everyone! Eights days in and it is still blowing my mind that it is 2015; when did that happen?
I hope that everyone had blessed and memorable holidays! I got to travel home to Pennsylvania for two weeks and it was heaven. I got to see my family, the boyfriend, and a lot of friends that I haven't seen since summer - which is when these pictures were taken! Gosh, I can't even fathom not wearing something on my legs right now; we had -30 wind-chills this morning. It is so cold, I don't even want to talk about it.
I didn't really take a lot of pictures when I was on my blogging break and I'm looking at these and thinking "what the heck was wrong with you, 2014 Laura? Were you too busy adjusting to post-graduation life, falling in love, working, and preparing to move out of state to take pictures of your outfits?" The answer is yes, yes I was.
But, I found these pictures buried on my memory card and all these memories came back to me. These pictures were taken on a photo shoot adventure with my bestie Maggie; we had such a blast: there are many outtakes of me coughing, giggling at something Maggie said, and my "oh crap, you caught me getting my picture taken" awkward face that happened when a bunch of youths walked by. I have some shots of her too, that I will definitely need to post soon.
Now, she's engaged and living in Alabama! I'm still learning how drastically life can change when you aren't confined in the structure and schedule of college life, something that is both terrifying and exciting at the same time. Anyway, I got to see Miss Maggie over the holidays; we just got to go a coffee shop and talked about our families, different books, jobs, our fellas, and of course, her wedding plans. I can't wait until we are both back in Pennsylvania again (around September) and are able to accomplish some really awesome wedding plans for her special day! I might not even have to wear two pairs of sweater tights...fingers crossed!

Don't you look pretty! This is a lovely dress!x
I love finding old photos! And it is crazy how life can change at the drop of a hat post college - I'm working on embracing all the changes and being ok with not knowing whats coming my way. These photos are great too - looks like a lot of fun!

Haha, yeaaah, doesn't sound like 2014 Laura was busy at all ;)
Glad you got this summery look captured though, that dress is just so pretty! Love the lilac color with the floral print!
Hope 2015 is treating you well :)

Life sure can get weird and change quickly once that structure of school is gone. I've been having a really weird half a year or so! I kind of crave that structure again!
Anyway, Happy New Year! You look so cute in this little purple dress. The lipstick is wonderful too. I have about a billion (or almost the whole collection) of those Wet n Wild lipsticks and they're fantastic.

Oh man, this post makes me want warmer weather so badly! It is definitely stinking cold outside right now. I have been almost too busy to blog lately too, but I'm glad to see you're doing well! I missed your fun posts for a while there! Hope you have a great start to 2015 (I can't believe it's here either) and that there are many fun adventures in store for you! :)
Oh, that lilac dress is so wonderful! What a find!
Have the best day,
