For most people, January 1st is the day that resets their year, but for me, that day is September 1st.

Fall is my favorite season. Even before the first hint of a crisp gust of wind, the anticipation of fresh starts is palpable.

Just as my daughter’s expectations of school have changed as she leaves for her first day of first grade than when she left for her first day of 3-year old preschool, my expectations for the blog have evolved. However, the one thing my daughter and I have in common is the look and leap mentality.

This is why I chose September to re-launch Styled by KDG.

Back to school, back to the blog —
