Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great weekend.
I recently wore this outfit to see a long lost friend from my Junior High School.
There is something special and cathartic about seeing an old friend after a few decades (yeah, I’m up there!). Thanks to Facebook I was able to meet up with my Junior High School friend that I had not seen in ages. I don’t quite remember how we drifted apart, but what I do remember is that she was the prettiest girl in our group, if not the entire school. We’ve been meaning to meet up a while ago but due to our (mostly me!) schedules we kept pushing it back. So a couple weeks ago, we finally met up at a coffee shop. All I can say is that she looked amazing! She’s still very beautiful in and out, and there was not a trace of lines anywhere on her face!!! We chatted about our (me) infertility struggles, our significant others (she married her Junior High School sweet heart!), our kids, our health, etc. I walked away knowing that I had not lost a friend, and that’s an awesome feeling!!! We promised to see each other more often and to not lose touch again!!!

What a gorgeous dress! I have a hard time finding dresses from F21, they always seem so short on me.
What a great story. I actually had met up with a high school classmate that I had not seen since high school (a long time ago). It was so nice to catch up. It’s amazing that FB has helped me reconnect to so many lost friends.

This dress and that belt are absolutely stunning!! I just spent the weekend cleaning out boxes containing random memories from my childhood and it was so fun to remember all those people you were so close to and the great times you had back in the day! It’s so neat that you were able to reconnect with someone from Junior High! Visiting from the blog hop! 🙂 Have a great day!
