Personal Style: Progression Part 2 – One Last Look at 2010

Remember when I did this for January through June?  I didn’t limit myself to thirteen looks this time though, because this is a little bit more of a style recap and I used two or three photos from each month.  

Over the past six months, I…

Took an outfit photo at midnight…

Stayed fashionable (I hope) through stormy beach humidity…  

Wore a blue dress to the bridal shower of the first of my friends in my immediate age group (read: the same age) to marry…

Did a fun Polaroid series with Poladroid… 

Experimented with a black and white series, I liked it, maybe I’ll do that again…

Started dressing for fall, but just kidding, then it was summer again:  

Learned to truly appreciate my point-and-shoot when I got my digital SLR… 

 Took a look back at what I was wearing through the years

Experimented with socks and boots and refined my cloudy day photos…

Bought lace stockings and wore two types of plaid at once… 

Took some photos in front of my favorite tree from fall and remixed something I wore in 2008 in Japan…

Put together my two favorite complementary colors, definitely look for it or a remix of it again in the spring…

Got so mad at Tumblr for continually losing my posts/queue/practically everything…

Brought out the baby owl dress, this time for winter

Went to an Alexander Wang sample sale, you’ve just seen it but I think this may be my favorite dress now and for the rest of time… 

The last six months in photos has been an interesting journey… here’s to 2011, may it be even more stylish than all the years before!  

Personal Style: Progression

Do you read Nini’s Style?  Her blog is very high fashion, if you haven’t seen it yet you should totally check it out!   She recently posted her 13 favorite looks from the Nini’s Style archives and asked her readers to do the same with their blogs.  Since I recently came on six months of personal style blogging, I decided that choosing my 13 favorite looks would be a good opportunity to note my evolution — or lack of it!  The following are my 13 favorites from January to June (in chronological order, not by most favorite), and I’m planning to do July through December at the end of the year!  

(1) Remember my first real personal style blogger photo?  I consider this look the true start of style blogging for me.  

(2) I loved this dress! Unfortunately it shrunk in the wash and I can’t wear it any more.  

(3) My Snow White look, and still one of my favorites.  

(4) Winter weekender!  I have huge issues with weekender looks.  They’re really difficult for me.  No dresses, no skirts, no heels (unless clubbing haha)… what am I supposed to wear?

(5) I really like hats and statement coats

(6) This might be my favorite look ever.  I tend to favor spare looks like this: shirt, skirt, belt.  Minimal accessories.  

(7) This dress is one of the best purchases ever.  I wore it everywhere in Japan and I’ve worn it in every season!  Deceptive Sun is probably the coolest title for a post I’ve ever come up with.  

(8) Anthropologie kind of day… say what you want about the prices (many of them are truly ridiculous) but the clothes hold up.  I’ve had that shirt for a long time!  

(9) I love tights!  That microruffle dress is a gem!  Versatile, packs well, and easy to care for!  

(10) Mink Pink Mink Yellow!  I love this color combination!  I’ve worn it a lot lately, and I’ve been wearing a lot of yellow too.  

(11) My Anthropologie skirt ended up in three photos!  I really like that thing :)  Yellow and blue are great together as well!  Opposites on the color wheel always make each other pop!  

(12) A What I Wore challenge!  I really loved those, they were so much fun!  And I got to connect with so many other bloggers!  

(13) My pink shirt also made the top 13 again!  The belt is one of my new favorites, no one can believe I got it at Charlotte Russe for $10!  

Hmmm… I guess my style has actually been fairly constant!  I miss those photos with snow backgrounds, maybe I should try to find a white wall or something!
