guest blogger series: jaana’s farewell

03/12/15

jaana-118 jaana-119jaana-117

SWEATER: old from Urban Outfitters (similar) BOTTOMS: Madewell SHOES: limited sizes from Aldo (similar and super cool) SCARF: old from Gap (similar but lighter for spring) WATCH: ArvoWear BRACELET: part of an old set (similar) EARRINGS: Target

Well lovelies, today marks my last day as a guest writer for Un-fancy. I am so sad! These 6 weeks have flown by!  It has been such a good experience and I feel like I’ve learned so much about myself having to articulate my thoughts and share with all of you some of the good, bad, and embarrassing that we all go through during any type of self-discovery.

Each week, before I sent my posts off to Caroline, I would be a bundle of nerves.  And then early on Thursday morning when the post was published, I would excitedly check my phone like every 5 minutes to see everyone’s insightful comments.  I guess I didn’t know what to expect, but I’m so happy and thankful for the positive response. 

I think one of the best parts about guest blogging overall was actually reading so many other peoples’ perspectives and realizing that no matter where we are from, or what we do for a living, or how far along we may be in the process, we are all taking this little journey together.  You have to admit, that’s pretty rad.

So it’s with a grateful and happy heart that I bid you all adieu!  But I plan to keep up with what’s going on here, so you haven’t seen the last of me.  And I hope you won’t be shy! Please swing by and say hello on my blog, instagram, pinterest, twitter, etc.  Let’s stay friends forever, mkay?

    I’m so sad that Jaana’s done as a guest blogger! Your outfits have been really great and much different than what we usually see on un-fancy. I love how you mixed up your clothes..it didn’t even look like a capsule wardrobe because each outfit was so different! I’ll definitely be following your blog because I love your personality and style!

    I admired the Aldo boots for several posts, and finally ordered them last week. I think I got one of the last pair available — at least in my size. Love your spunk. :) Wishing you all the best!

    You’re stunning, Jaana, and you have such great personal style. Thanks for sharing parts of you with us because I know it can be unnerving to do! But know that you inspired me, and I’ll be reading more from your blog in the future pretty lady!

    I would prefer if the guest bloggers stayed for four (4) capsules so we can see an entire year of their capsule wardrobe choices. It feels like we spent more time waiting for guest bloggers to “arrive” than spending time with them!

    Though I love reading my fave bloggers’ posts that display all the unique pieces of their style and ways they are totally different from me… I LOVED that you are Scandinavian / eclectic / in SoCal, just like meeeee! Always looked forward to your posts and glad you have your own blog!

    This guest blogger series has been great. I love it! But at least I can follow along with them on their own sites.

    I love Jaana’s kid-friendly take on style. I wish my younger self had her advice when my teen was still in the sticky fingered littler years.

    Just wanted to tell you that as I was closet cleaning this past weekend one of your comments hit me about “saving” my favorite items and not wearing them (I have pinned that same meme!!). I decided to start wearing them, regardless of day, activities (with discretion of course), or who I see. There is no time like the present to enjoy.

    Thank you for the reminder!
