Lesson Learned

Francesca's blouse, Old Navy blouse, H&M blazer, Seven jeans, Carlos Santana heels,
Steve Madden clutch, belt from TJMaxx

This past weekend was a little busy and rough. As my friend would say, 'holy buckets!' I knew I had a lot to get done this weekend. I needed to plan seven classes for next week (it takes a lot to come up with new, interesting things for my dance classes). I usually spread them out over the weekend, giving myself plenty of time to think about them. Friday though, I decided to hammer them all out in one day. I always email my lesson plans to my husband just in case. I'm so glad I did because my computer crashed and burned on Saturday. I was on a shopping website looking for some things to plan my next post and BAM. Dead computer. I'm not blaming that particular site but let's just say I probably will never go there again.


I think the worst part about my poor dead computer was that nothing had been backed up. External hard drive, people! Get one today. I lost every single bookmark in my bookmarks bar (that is a lot of blogs and important dance links). And I lost five of my seven recital dances that I had typed out. Fortunately I had looked over each one of them Saturday morning before my computer crashed so they were still somewhat fresh in my head.


On a lighter note, I have decided to start a monthly link-up. At the end of each month, I normally do a post with my top three outfits of the month. You can see an example here. The post will always happen on the last day of the month unless the last day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, as I do not post on the weekends. The first Top Three link-up will happen this Thursday. I would love to see your top three looks of the month! A few guidelines for the link-up: You must be a follower of this blog, place a link to this blog in your post, and visit a few other blogs for lots of fashion inspiration!

Have a great day!

  7. Oh no, that really stinks about your computer! If something is really important I'll email it to myself. That way even if my computer crashes, I can still access it on another one.

    I love how the red looks with the leopard print!

  12. After quite a few files being lost before, I always back-up to an external. And yes, it took me one failed hard drive to learn the hard way like you mentioned! I hope everything works out. At least you have a cute outfit to show ! ha

  14. I am so terribly sorry your computer crashed. That is the WORST feeling. A blog friend of mine lost all her stuff and she found a company in California to recover all of it. You may want to do some searching around. I love this link up idea, I just may have to play along. And you look gorg. One of my top faves!

  30. OMG I had the same thing happen to me. My laptop harddrive crashed and I lost everything- my etsy shop files, my freelance graphic design work, pictures... It was a nightmare. I had to pay lots of money to get most of it retrieved AND get a new harddrive. I was totally Carrie Bradshaw with her sad MAC. I learned the hard way to back up, back up, back up.
