Why I’m Not Sweating the Instagram Algorithm Anymore

Let’s talk about a hot button issue for bloggers, brands, and influencers: Instagram! Between the unpopular algorithm replacing chronological order, Stories and other new features, Instagram remains one of the most talked about topics for many businesses. Today I’m sharing the frustrations I’ve had and the things I’ve started to do instead of just being annoyed by it.

I’ll admit it, when the algorithm first got introduced I was super frustrated. Over time, I’ve accepted that this is the new way and learned to better prioritize my time when it comes to growing my following and strengthening my online presence.

Black Polka Dots for Weekend Wear in Kentucky

I mentioned that I double brunched this weekend {see Saturday’s outfit here!}, but Sunday I hit the road and drove out to good ole Lexington.  I’ve been so excited to check out the newest shopping center, the Summit at Fritz Farm, so Tif and I met up for brunch at Honeywood and then strolled around the center.  I wore these black polka dots for an easy weekend look that has some polish to it.
