This week's features are amazing. I always have a hard time making decisions about who to feature. These ones are just a hand full of the amazing outfits and accessories linked up this week:


Dandelion Drift


Kristina J.


Sewing Like Mad


Handmade Therapy


Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy!


buzzmills

This may shock and amaze everyone but I think I'm going to get back to blogging again this week. I've got a huge event I've planned that I'm so excited about. I'll share about that and may even share an outfit or two I'm making. I've been enjoying my little blogging break. Lots of family time and releasing myself from the pressure.

How can I make my blog grow?

I get this question a lot! I've been blogging for 5 years and I can tell you it isn't easy! Increasing blog traffic and followers can take years and feel like you're spinning your wheels. There are good ways to speed up the process though and this year I want to help! Here's my answer!

EDITED: Thanks to Jess for pointing out that it is 2013! HA!

how to increase blog traffic with link parties

Do you want to be featured on Social Media Friends? I need volunteers! I'll be publishing a short bio and links to your profile so people can follow along! There will also be a link party so people can link up their own Pinterest/Twitter/Facebook profiles. Care to join in? Leave a comment letting me know which social media is your favorite! We'll be starting next Monday!

I'm excited to help you this year! With Make It Wear It, Featuring You and Social Media Friends we'll be sure to increase your following!
