12 Outfits from Rumor Boutique in 12 Years

I remember the very first thing I bought at Rumor Boutique, and I’m pretty sure it was the same week they opened- if not the first day!

 

I went with my sorority sister, Meg, to go shopping. We had already been by Karats and Keepsakes as well as Sorella and stopped in just one more place.

 

We each bought – and I’m telling y’all I know this dates me- pink Le Tigre tank tops.

 

(This is not the actual outfit of course, but it was right before this point in time. This was durng ADPi recruitment at Mercer. Check out my blonde hair!!)

 

 

Since then, I’ve shopped at Rumor consistently and worn their outfits either for photo shoots or special occasions. Here’s my 12 Outfits in 12 Years- to celebrate their 12th Anniversary!

 

The Southern Belle: Revised, Revamped, Reborn:

 

This was one of my favorite photo shoots with Neal Carpenter. We featured outfits from a bunch of local spots… including a moment where I climbed a grain silo. Whoops.

 

 

 

It’s a Ring Thing:

 

Here I was gifted this awesome “Macon” necklace from Rumor and Moon + Lola, especially to express my Macon Love! And later I spoke in this post about how I loved to layer jewelry:

 

 

 

Cocktails at Kashmir:

 

While this photo shoot doesn’t feature me in front of the camera, I was behind the camera for the styling. It was also one of the first shoots I did with the now very well known Matt Odom.

 

Beautiful Clothes and a Beautiful Life:

 

So, my mom actually photographed me for this little impromptu shoot at Tattnall Square Park. I love a little frill and this French skirt from Rumor did just the trick!

 

Cocktails In the Heat:

 

These pants ended up being a part of my Girl Meets Dublin post, but we got this photo inside the store just before heading out.

 

Cycling While Cute:

 

Yes, I bicycled in heels for this one.

 

 

Do NOT Miss This:

 

Technically,  not an outfit. But I still use this Swell bottle all the time!!

 

Fit to Be Dressed:

 

 

 

 

This was my first photo shoot with Lisa Crosby for a New Year’s styled photo shoot this past winter. It was also nice because I didn’t exactly stay on top of my workout plan that year, and I was glad to know I could still look super cute- even with the weight gain.

 

The past year has been difficult- full of ups and downs. One of which has been my own self consciousness regarding my weight. Now I’m great at posing and such in photos and videos to “hide” what I think is bad, but I hadn’t done a full photo shoot in a while because of my own hangups This past weekend I did my first shoot with Lisa Crosby (@the_creativity_stream) and realized I can still look amazing- even with the added weight | hair & makeup by @jennyrosalyn #TheRechargeChallenge

Girl Meets Asheville:

 

This romper was the perfect item to traipse around Asheville for a visit to see my very dear friend, Melanie.

 

A Modern Cleopatra:

 

While you can’t see much of the dress, it was a key part of this photo shoot with Ty Myrick Photography.

 

8 Rules for Dating a Football Loving Lady:

Based on a true story, thank you to Anthony and Brandon for filming. And here’s a still shot of that romper:

Girl Meets Savannah:

 

These jeans and this top helped to launch my very first Girl Meets City post!

 

So, even though this lists off 12 of my outfits from Rumor- when I look over my Instagram account I realize there are many, many more. Especially this jacket:

 

OMG y’all this jacket from @rumorboutique was the real #MVP for me this weekend during the @officialolemissfootball game! You don’t want to go to another tailgate or football game without one, trust me

And again for my visit to Ole Miss, along with this awesome blanket scarf:

 

This outfit saved me during the @OleMissFootball game – and now it’s up on The @SouthernWeekend with my guide for How To Dress For College Football: A Strategic Guide How do y’all dress for college football??

There’s just entirely too many times to list them all!

Love to all y’all- and especially Rumor Boutique, for keeping me well dressed for 12 years,
