year one | shirt | dress | bracelet | bag | shoes

On Tuesday, I picked an outfit from each year of blogging to compare how my style has evolved over the years.  In honor of my blog turning three tomorrow, I’m doing it again!  #TBT anyone?

Let’s start with one of my favorite mixed print combos of all time: gingham and floral!  I’d still rock the duo today, but would probably pare down on the color palette.   Pinks and nudes make for a sophisticated color scheme, but the prints are just as fresh.

year two | jacket | dress | bag | shoes

In year two, I fell in love with the jean jacket (I had never own one before that!) and was throwing it on over every dress in my closet.  I’m still in love with the denim topper, but I want to try my hand at a bright white jacket this spring.

year three | dress | necklace | bag | shoes

And finally, I wore this bright and/or blinding number in year three.  I can’t wait to bust out the neons again this spring/summer, but am leaning towards tangerine as my weapon of choice.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, there are a few things about me that will always be constant: my panache for prints and my love for color.  But beyond that, my personal style is always changing and I can’t wait to see how it transforms for years to come.  Thanks for following along!

year 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.

year two | shirt | jeans | bag | flats

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!

year three | top | pants | necklace | clutch | heels

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!
