Instagram is a great place to visually look back and reflect. When I look at my Instagram pictures from May, aside from the slew of my usual #ootd shots plus the abundant amount of May rain, there were some special things that happened.
May Instagram @Kremdelakremb
1. Vincent turned 13 this past May. I wrote a little tribute to him about how proud I am of the young man he is becoming.
2. It took me forever–like all of May–but I finally finished I’ll Give you the Sun by Jandy Nelson. I did like it, but I did not like how long it took me to read it. For a 21st century novel it’s more surreal than most which was a refreshing change; the imagery and artistic way in which it was written was quite special.
3. I participated in another Fab 40s post; this month we all wore gingham. I felt especially crafty with this outfit since I wore a button down shirt as a skirt! I’m looking forward to June’s theme: cream lace. Stay tuned….
4. We had SO. MUCH. RAIN this May. I love the rain, so I actually didn’t mind, but the migraine that followed the crazy storms on Saturday, May 22 was no fun.
5. With Prom happening on May 15, I was reminded of my own first prom when I was asked just a week before but managed to design and create my own dress just in time–evidence that getting dressed for me is usually more fun than the actual event!
6. I had many Style Stories this month but my favorite was the one where I wore a different white shirt all week long.
7. Another fun feat this past May was when one of my designs actually fit me! I wore my first design to an annual fundraising ball held for my school each year.
8. We have a cake in our family that always gets requested every time: Kevin’s Carrot Cake!
9. Coming soon will be the outtakes from this super fun photo shoot with @louisejensenhk and @taipudd….
