Welcome!: November 2015

Yes, I'm a proud fan of wearing dark colors... all the time. So I have to really try to add a pop of color into my wardrobe. Here are some of my favorite navy pieces with color.

I'll bet there is a gorgeous navy dress (or a few) at the Miss Illinois County Fair Queen Pageant come January... It's the color this year!

And NO... I was not referring to myself. Although, we have been hard at work preparing my community service project that will start this coming Saturday as we visit a local nursing home for a Parade of Queens. I am so excited to decorate walkers and wheelchairs and parade around with some of the most influential people I've ever met. Along with my service project, I've been reading my speech and perfecting every word the past two weeks. Walking on that stage some people will remember you by your dress, your pop question, or maybe even just your stage presence. I want people to remember me by my speech. It will tell the crowd a big part me, in exactly 60 seconds and that is so important to me. Lastly, we have been having such a boring time picking out my state wardrobe... If you know me at all you know that last statement is false. That is always one of the best parts of prepping for any event from prom, your county pageant, or even the Miss Illinois 2016 pageant!

To all of my new queen friends, I am so excited to see each of you in two short months!

Now that you've have been slightly updated on queen duties.. Here's some of my fall navy favorites...
