Truthfully, 2015 was a meh year for me, with more downs than ups. While there were still great positives, like my trip to LA with Torrid, winning the NFL Fan Style Showdown, and landing a few TV segments, the negatives unfortunately outweighed them.

Losing my beloved dog, Flynn, was one of the most difficult moments of the year. Seeing my mom lying in a hospital bed with an enormous, swollen, black & blue arm was terrifying. (She has Parkinson’s, and she fell and broke her shoulder.) The months of visiting her in a nursing home while the recovered were emotional, and her time back home has been equally so. Leaving a job that I thought was my “dream job” was challenging, but I had to put my health before work; in no world is 7 days a week, 12-15 hour days, an acceptable work load.

I learned a lot from 2015, but I’m ready to leave it behind. I learned from my past, I’m living in my present, and I’m looking forward to the future. I think 2016 is going to be better.

Now, on to the real reason why you clicked in; the clothes. Get ready, cos here comes my top 10 outfits of 2015.
