I\u2019m not always sure of what to say. But one thing I do know is that I love (I mean LOOOVE) fashion, and beauty and all things us southern girls pride ourselves on. I\u2019m starting this blog as a creative outlet for me to write about fashion, and beauty, and life in general.<\/p>\n<p>First things first, I\u2019ll tell you a bit about me. My name is Madison. I am a freshman in college at Louisiana State University (can I get a GEAUX TIGERS?!). I\u2019m going to be majoring in Fashion Merchandising, with hopes of one day being a buyer for a big company or owning my own boutique. I\u2019ll be rushing as well, so I hope to definitely write about my rush experience and future sisterhood (fingers crossed!). I am a dog lover, as well as a perfectionist, and somewhat dramatic.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, to the point of this post (I\u2019m sure you can tell by now that I may like to babble\u2026 just a little bit)- I have high hopes for this blog. I hope that by me sharing my journey, you\u2019ll find inspiration and have a few laughs along the way. So without further ado\u2026.. I present to you, Louisiana Girl in Pearls.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/louisianagirlinpearls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/xoxo-louisiana-girl-in-pearls.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"11\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/louisianagirlinpearls.com\/index.php\/2015\/07\/17\/first-things-first\/xoxo-louisiana-girl-in-pearls\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/louisianagirlinpearls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/xoxo-louisiana-girl-in-pearls.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1290,1012\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"xoxo, louisiana girl in pearls\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/louisianagirlinpearls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/xoxo-louisiana-girl-in-pearls-300x235.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/louisianagirlinpearls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/xoxo-louisiana-girl-in-pearls-1024x803.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/louisianagirlinpearls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/xoxo-louisiana-girl-in-pearls-300x235.jpg\" alt=\"xoxo, louisiana girl in pearls\" width=\"300\" height=\"235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/louisianagirlinpearls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/xoxo-louisiana-girl-in-pearls-300x235.jpg 300w, https:\/\/louisianagirlinpearls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/xoxo-louisiana-girl-in-pearls-1024x803.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/louisianagirlinpearls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/xoxo-louisiana-girl-in-pearls.jpg 1290w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s get this straight- I am not a \u201cblogger.\u201d I don\u2019t exactly have a way&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4,5],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/louisianagirlinpearls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/about-me-pic.png","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
