My Social Media Roommates + #YOLOmondays Link Up

81 Replies

You guys, I’m guest posting for the fabulous Angela of Head to Toe Chic today! You should check it out!

On to today’s post! Now, I love social media. I think, when used correctly and responsibly, social media can be such a blessing and a GREAT way to connect with people. Anywhere.

Well, last Friday night, husband and I were going out for a casual date night for my “official” birthday dinner, and I COULD NOT decide what to wear. I was stressing out. For real.

So I thought, “Man, I miss being in college and having girl roommates whom I could run in to their rooms and ask for opinions.”So, I thought, I’ll do the next best thing. I’ll ask my social media roommates.

I took pics of my outfit options (photo below). Combined them in #PicFrame, and then posted the picture to my Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook accounts:

Then, I went and finished getting ready… you know I did my hair and my makeup.

Within MINUTES, between the three accounts, I had close to 40 responses from people.

“1!” “2!” “3!” – It was awesome!

My husband also happened to see the picture on twitter and asked if his vote counted. Of course. His vote was most important! Well, he happened to agree with the majority… and outfit #3 won!

So, here’s what I wore for casual date night:

Outfit Deets:

And you know, had to blow out a candle in some sherbet. No big deal.

So, have YOU ever turned to your social media roommates? Do you love social media?

Speaking of social media. It’s NOW time for the #YOLOmondays LINK-UP with my awesome co-host Carly from Lipgloss & Crayons! This is such a great way to get to know other bloggers!

Love seeing y’all linked up every week. :) Grab the button :) (code is available in the sidebar, or you can just right-click and save the above button)

The Rules for #YOLOMONDAYS Link-Ups:

  1. Grab a button and / or post a link back here in your BLOG POST (NOT your blog’s main page) so your readers know what all the #YOLOMONDAY-ness is about. We love you guys linking up and we do go through and read all your posts… so if you do not give credit, we will have to remove your link. That’s no fun, right? Right. So be nice and share a link! :) Pretty please?
  2. Link your blog post up using the linky tool below! It can be ANYTHING! An outfit post, a giveaway, a story, a recipe, whatever. Why? Cause it’s #YOLOMONDAYS!
  3. Visit a blog or four that you’ve never been to before and leave a #YOLOMONDAYS comment – you never know, you might “meet” someone new that you will lurve!
  4. Have fun! Cause #YOLO!




“19 So then you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone. 21 The whole building, being put together by Him, grows into a holy sanctuary in the Lord. 22 You also are being built together for God’s dwelling in the Spirit.” -Ephesians 2:19-22

    Happy belated Birthday, Molly! I hope you had a great time! Awww… I never thought about using social media this way, but I think you’re totally right and this was a very fun idea! It was a great choice and I would have picked that one too! You can’t never go wrong with a one shoulder bright pink top for your birthday celebration! And you looked really lovely with the whole outfit! Thanks again for hosting Yolo Monday!

    Social Media Roommates, what a cute idea! And I agree with you, *when used correctly and responsible* which unfortunately it isn’t always! haha

    By the way, I know Hillsborough is a bit past Chapel Hill, but we have a little Triangle blogger group that gets together from time to time, if you’re interested!

    Hah, I am awful at social media, I don’t facebook or twitter or anything! (In fact, its amazing I even blog!) My little sister just left for boarding school this week and I’m just now realizing how fun texting can be. since its the only easy way to talk to her now. :)

    I think outfit number three was the way to go, I love the shoulder detail on the blouse and there’s just something about wearing jeans and a cute top out on a date night. ^_^
