PPF Turns One!

One year ago today (thanks to the prompting of my sister-in-law), I took a leap into the world of blogging.  I still laugh when I think back to those early posts, my pathetic generic site design & the mediocre outfit pictures.  But, I am so thankful that I stuck with it – it’s been an incredible journey and I honestly wouldn’t change a thing!  There are so many people I need to thank…without whom, this blog would not be what it is today.

First & foremost, I have to thank you, my readers.  You are the reason that PPF exists!  My sole purpose for starting this site was because I wanted to help & connect with other women.  I so appreciate your comments & feedback – getting to interact with you on a daily basis brings me such joy.  I can’t thank you enough for your loyalty & support…it truly means the world to me.

Secondly, my husband – who has been, hands down, the biggest fan of my blog.  He has taken pictures for me in the sweltering heat, pouring rain, fierce winds & falling snow.  Plus, he has worked countless hours on graphics, programming and marketing for this site.  Oh, and he also puts up with my shopping habits when I get a little out of hand and gently reminds me to keep the “penny pincher” in my fashion.  Love you babe! J

And last (but certainly not least), my blogging friends…who have encouraged me, inspired me & helped me along the way.  There are truly too many to name here, but the girls I can’t imagine life without are: The Stylish Housewife, Pencil Skirts & Lattes, The Average Girl’s Guide, My Dressy Ways, The Frugalista Diaries and Simplicity is Ultimate Sophistication.  Thank you ladies for your friendship, for making me laugh & for cheering me on…I’m so grateful for each one of you! ♥

Here’s to many more years of fabulous & affordable fashion!!

What I’m wearing:
Zara top, Old Navy skirt, Fabulous on a Dime necklace (here), Lips: Maybelline Fifth Ave Fuschia, Nails: Milani Neon Totally 80’s

    I just found your blog through daily buzz style, and I love your commitment to color! That pink skirt is amazing–I haven't shopped at Old Navy in awhile, but it looks like I need to give it another look. Happy blog-o-versary.
