(Somewhat) recent OOTDs + pinned it spinned it

So... Has it REALLY been over 4 months since I've blogged. Oops.

Soooo much has happened in these few months that this blog has been the last thing on my mind.

But I'm back!

Thought I would share some of my recent outfits. I post outfits pretty often (at least a few days a week) on my Instagram (@julestheghoul) but thought I would give a little more detail about a few.

I love IG. I love fashion. I love all my IG fashionistas I have met along the way. And I loooove style challenges. I try to follow as many as I can (not every day, but when I can).. But I have been loving the #pinneditspinnedit hashtag that two of my IG friends Jamie (@jro1583) & Amy (@aem8168) created - follow them if you aren't already!

They pick pins for every weekday for us to spin (some people follow them to a T; some people add their own fun touch)... And it is addicting!! I love seeing what everyone comes up with. It's inspiration for sure... Or shall I say, "pinspiration"😉

I must add, also, that since the majority of my closet (90% or more) is thrifted.. I also follow the hashtag #pinneditthriftedit with another super fashionable & thrifty IG friend Andrea (@keepinitthrifty) - another girl you just MUST follow!

Ok! Enough rambling y'all... Here goes!
