Rewind & Remix: A Three Year Retrospective

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!

SJP Moment

SJP Shoe CollectionI think we’ve all channeled a bit of Carrie Bradshaw at some point in our lives, whether it’s making your way in a big city or recounting dating misadventures with your closest girlfriends at brunch.  Even I’ve had a Carrie moment, twirling around the city in an over-the-top tulle skirt.

So when Sarah Jessica Parker dropped her debut shoe collection SJP, I immediately fell in love with the playful twist on classics.  I’m talking strappy sandals with feminine features and timeless pumps with reimagined details.  The shoes are still a bit of investment, but at least you’re not forgoing an entire month’s rent like Carrie.  Check out my favorite picks below and shop the line at Nordstrom!

It’s Mardi Gras, so why not splurge with a bit of spring shopping?  Sure, you could deck yourself in giant plastic beads, I find a little retail therapy to be a much more satisfying indulgence.  My poison of choice?  Pretty pieces with details that pack as much punch as a frozen hurricane.
