My Style Evolution

So, I was thinking the other day about how much my style has developed over the years. I started looking through some old photos and I was cracking up at half of the things I was wearing. I felt like I had to share this lovely style story with all of the internet to see. Please refrain from laughing too hard.

The 90's: Floral, spandex, and huge bows were the extent of my clothes in my childhood. My mother was a big Target shopper and loved any opportunity to have my sister and me match. I must say she did a good job at making sure we were both camera ready. I loved playing dress up as a kid. I'm almost one hundred percent sure that's why is so eclectic.

Teenage Angst: This was the era of flannels and t-shirts. All day, every day. I wore my American Eagle skinny jeans with either one of those tops, threw on a hoodie, my Vans, and I called it a day. I wasn't know much for my style in high school, but more so my hair. It was long and pin straight for the first 3 years of high school. Thank goodness I discovered a curling iron.

Fresh out of High School: Right before I graduated, we had this event called "Senior Dress Up Day" where you get all fancy and go to school. I had nothing but zip ups and v necks in my closet so my mother decided to take me shopping. I walked into American Eagle and saw the most glorious denim jacket to ever exist. I had never worn denim on my top half before I didn't know how to approach it. Once I bought it, I realized I would have to get pants that were something other than denim to go with the jacket. Then I discovered dresses and chords and various other fabrics and textures that were completely new to me. I would like to thank my little denim jacket for enabling me to venture out into the fashion world.

RIP Jacket. It had a good run. Half of the sleeve ripped off after getting caught on too many door handles and branches. You will be missed and remembered. </3

Me now! Now I have accepted and embraced so many different styles in fashion. Some days I am very bohemian, other days I'm on the edgier side. And then there are my "comfy cute" days (as Alyssa and I like to call it). I feel like I have invented a look of my own and I actually look forward to getting dressed in the morning.

I'm putting my camera to work this week! I'm going to try and shy away from using my phone so much to take photos. We will see how that goes. So today, Alyssa and I went on a shopping extravaganza and here is a result of some of our purchases. I may do a haul post soon of all of the things that I bought. It was a lot. I went a little nuts. No shame. NO SHAME. Anyways, I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted a "Daily Duds" look. Months. That's not okay. I need to shape up and blog! I'm in the process of planning a lot of new things so stay tuned. Thanks for reading!
