Hey friends! Remember my post about Dressember last week? If not, you can read it here: Why Dressember is important to me. One thing that I mentioned is that I want to participate with a team this year. Last year, I was the only person I knew participating. I definitely had a great time, though. I also raised money for a good cause and exceeded my goal, thanks to family and friends who contributed. However this year I know with more ladies by my side, we can together make a bigger splash (or should I say ruffle? This is Dressember, after all). I’m so very exciting because the first lady to agree to join me is my best friend Kayleigh! So in honor of Kayleigh, I’m going to list the top 10 reasons why she rocks.
- She works very hard. She’s currently working on a Master’s in Speech Pathology while working full time as a middle school Spanish teacher.
- We share the same second language. It is Spanish, though, so it’s not exactly our secret language. But it will help as we have plans to travel together in the Spanish-speaking world this Spring.
- She’s an amazing dog momma to Dunie, a Carolina Dingo that she rescued.
- She’s up for any adventure (like Dressember).
- While she’s always been the preppier one and I’ve always been more eccentric, at the core we share almost identical world views. This is more important, anyway.
- Even though we live about 9 hours apart, we regularly text each other our outfits to make sure all looks good. A second opinion is always good, even if she is in South Carolina.
- We can both quote Mean Girls frontwards and backwards. We often find ourselves quoting it when together.
- Her curly hair. I sometimes wish I had curly hair.
- We’re both pretty extroverted. Like neither of us really have to ponder the whole extrovert/introvert thing. We simply both get our energy from time spent with people.
- We both often strike up conversations with strangers (again, the whole extrovert thing).
Thanks Kayleigh!
Throughout the month of December, Kayleigh will be featured on the blog as well as the blog’s Instagram, Twitter and Facebook pages.
If you’d like to join us in Dressember, we’d love to have you! Men can participate too. Last year, men wore bow ties if they wanted to participate. If you have questions or would like to participate, please e-mail me at aworldofdresses@gmail.com
