One year ago today, I summoned up my reserves of courage and hit "publish" for the first time.I had been a follower of daily style blogs for nearly a year, but wondered where I- a Modern Orthodox Jew with a specific mode of dress, limited funds and a full time job- would fit into the blogosphere. Would people be turned off by my daily skirt-wearing? Would my lack of fancy duds make alltumbledown too prosaic? Would blogging be a burden, and could I keep it up?
As months passed, I found myself more and more entrenched in the wonderful community that coalesced around my blog and thankful of how others have welcomed me into their communities. I've shared some deep thoughts and some rather superficial musings, but it is this idea of community and friendship that keeps me motivated. So I dedicate this post to you, my readers: thank you for sticking with me, for your thoughtful and at times challenging comments, and for helping to turn my little dream into a reality.
I'll share my favorite outfit from each month of the past year with you (please excuse the early photos. How much I have learned...) Here is to one year and hopefully, many more.
As I start year two I'd love to know what you want to see on the blog. Tutorials? Videos? More of the daily style posts? I could even share the items I ogle at (and try and convince myself not to purchase, occasionally successfully.) Speak up!

February's outfit needs to be a repeat! Love!
Oh, and congrats on one year!! It's a big milestone!
I've been quietly reading your blog for some time now. Congrats on making it to a year!
I absolutely love you in a bold lipcolor, please more makeup info: color, brand, anything! You've inspired me to purchase a red lipstick and it's really brightened up my outlook on the dreary weather we're currently experiencing in Southern California.
