jumpsuits & an ode to instagram

hello, little blog; it's been a while! 

working full time, moving, attending weddings,

and well, just living often interfere 

with consistent blogging. fortunately, i am back

this week with several new outfits to share! i am 

continuing to embrace summer fashion. with 

temperatures in the low-to-mid 90s this week, i am eager

to get a few extra 'wears' out of my favorite

dresses, rompers, and shorts. is it cooling

off where you are? are you ready for fall?

my sweaters and jackets are still neatly

packed away. i hope they can remain in boxes for 

another few weeks; this girl loves the sun!

despite moving last week, i have yet to begin

the daunting task of unpacking (but more on

that topic later...).

disclosure: macy's and lauren ralph lauren graciously

provided me with the handbag in this post. 

all opinions are my own!

jumpsuits and rompers are two of my

favorite summer trends. i have owned many

of my rompers for several years. after repeated attempts

to clean out and purge my closet, the rompers

remain (in their own treasured pile). i love them!

this particular jumpsuit is a newer find, 

purchased at a local boutique in kirkland.

the vibrant print and off-the-shoulder style

stood out to me. the ruffle detail allows you to

wear the jumpsuit on or off-the-shoulder, depending

on your preference and/or the occasion.

the jumpsuit required few accessories as

it is a statement all by itself. i paired this look

with my go-to nude sandals and a white handbag

for an extra 'pop.' who says white cannot be

worn after labor day? not me!

and now, an ode to my instagram~

what the heck?! seriously, instagram?

where is my profile? gone? disabled? hacked?

is it gone forever? or just temporarily? 

please, oh please may i have access to it?

i promise not to over-post. or complain about

photos that don't perform well. or envy

other more successful bloggers. i simply

want my account back. please, can you help me?

are you familiar with this, or has something

similar happened to you? it seems many 

avid instagram users were recently hacked.

photos have gone missing and accounts mysteriously

disabled. when trying to login to my account yesterday,

i was prompted to enter my login information.

upon completing the request, i received an

error message, 'account not available.'

after a small dose of panic set in, followed by

loud profanity, i began texting fellow

bloggers and friends to see if they could assist.

'diaryofthisgirlmegan' is currently not available

on instagram. i submitted several forms 

online and am hopeful to hear back

within the next 24 hours. if you have additional

ideas and/or tips (and positive vibes), please

send them my way!

i apologize for my rant above. i generally

try to avoid negativity on my blog, but i have to admit,

i am very stressed. in the past few years,

i have worked hard to maintain and curate content

on my blog and social media platforms. for it to 

randomly disappear (or be disabled) for no apparent

reason is disheartening. however, i am hopeful

to have things back up and running very soon. in the

meantime, thank you for your patience!

xoxo.

**update: my account has been restored.

thank you, instagram support team!
