Rewind & Remix: A Three Year Retrospective

Spring Inspired Outfityear one | top | skirt | necklace | bracelet | heels

This Friday will mark three years since I started my blog.  I’ll save the sentimental spiels for later on in the week, but I thought it would be fun to look back on a few of my favorite outfits throughout the year and see how my style has evolved.

In the first outfit, I remixed the skirt that started it all.  I was no stranger to prints back then and I’m certainly not today — except now, I would choose a skirt in a more whimsy print (think enlarged florals) and a lace top in a punchier color.  If there’s anything that NYC has taught me, it’s that more is more.

During my second year, I was still living in Arizona where short shorts reigned supreme.  These days, my casual look is a bit more refined, but also a lot more laid-back (does that even make sense?).  Today, I would choose a chambray shirt over its silky counterpart and pair it with white skinny jeans.  And those leopard shoes?  Same favorite print in every shape there is, please!

During year three, I completed my first year of living in NYC, chopped off my hair and dressed with a little more edge.  I still love me a bold cobalt blue, but next time around, I’ll be trying my hand at a structured crop top and slouchy pants.

Oh man, what a difference three years make.  Sometimes it pains me to go back to the beginning and flip through some cringe-worthy looks, but that’s all part of evolving/adapting/experimenting/discovering your personal style.  Thanks for following along!

  10. Congrats on the blogiversary! I cringe at some of my outfits, even from just a couple months ago. What counts is if you felt great in whatever you were wearing when you wore it!

  14. LOVE this idea. The best part is that your style has always been freakin’ amazing. I think if I looked back at my blog 3 years ago, I would be afraid to show ANYONE the outfits. 😉

    Thanks for visiting Pursuit!
