Cheers to 5 Years!

September 14, 2021 in anniversary

FIVE!

I can’t believe Kristie in Carolina turns five today! If you told me five years ago I’d still be doing this blog, I’m not sure that I would have believed you. What better way to celebrate than with a fun, pink outfit?

To celebrate five years, I want to share five fun facts with you about me, Kristie in Carolina, and five favorite posts from the past year. First, I have to share my obligatory anniversary balloon pics 😉 So, just keep on scrolling to get to the good parts.

Five Fun Facts

  1. Taylor, my husband, and I met just four days after I moved to North Carolina six years ago. I didn’t know a soul when I moved!
  2. I launched Kristie in Carolina on the 1st anniversary of my move to NC.
  3. I went to school for fashion merchandising and I still work in the fashion industry! I’ve known I wanted to work in fashion since I was about 10 years old.
  4. October is my favorite month; it’s my birthday month! I absolutely love summer, but I think fall is my favorite. I just love the crisp air and sweater weather!
  5. Reading is one of my favorite pastimes. I love sharing book reviews here with you, but I wish I shared even more of them. Maybe that will be a goal for year six 😉

FIVE FAVORITE POSTS

This last year has been one of the most fun years of blogging for me. I have absolutely loved sharing all of our wedding planning and festivities with you. I almost picked all wedding related posts to be my favorites, but I thought I would give you some variety 🙂

Last, but not least, THANK YOU! Thank you for continuing to support me and follow along on this fun journey!

Cheers to five years!

Let’s take a moment to pause and appreciate how cute this set is from @champion! It’s absolutely perfect for Spring! I would recommend going one size up on the shorts because of the cinched high waist. I’m wearing a M!
