Longest Friends // Mirror Image

Hi everyone! I hope you had an excellent weekend and a good start to this week. I can't believe it's almost Wednesday again. :)

Nashville was so much fun, I can't wait to share some about it. There's nothing like two days away to make everything feel new again. :) It's so nice being on the road too, very different from flying. :)

This week The Creative Closet is linking up with the theme 'Mirror Image'. So I thought I would share a look that I wore at one of my longest friends' wedding over the summer!

As soon as I purchased this maxi skirt I was on Pinterest for hours searching combinations. These were two of my favorite, and sort of morphed to form what I chose to wear. :)

I just love this mustard maxi skirt. It's so comfy and always makes me feel pulled together. Pairing it with the black lace peplum top gave me some contrast in texture, but also defined my waist... which is always a plus!

Because my friend Hannah is so artistic, I wanted to wear something fun to her wedding. This fit the bill, adding the light turquoise accessories made it just a little more colorful. :)

Hannah and I met in preschool and were the very best of friends through 4th grade. Then her family moved to Iowa, and we kept in touch via snail mail and later social media. She's one of those amazing friends that you can pick up with right where you left off! I was so glad that we got to go to her wedding!

Her wedding was one of my favorites I've been to. It was so special to see someone I have known for so long say 'I do'. 



It was doubly special because she and her parents made the same 4 hour drive to our wedding a few years ago. :) 

It was also particularly awesome that they had a morning wedding.

A beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a breakfast buffet, complete with a donut cake.

Just adorable. If I could do it again, I think a morning wedding would be the way to go!



Do you also have a love of maxi skirts? 

Have you ever gone to a wedding that was especially special to you?

XO,
