going back through the years outfits, these are my favorites. quiet colors are always going to be my safe zone, but i’ve been branching out and allowing more color into my everyday wear, and i feel pretty good about that. i’ve actually gotten quite a bit more feminine this year. not necessarily in terms of frills and ruffles, but i’ve started painting my nails a lot more, and loving that as another way to explore color relationships. i use makeup with greater regularity (and i’ve been loving a bold lip!). i wear heels a little more frequently, partially because i’ve figured out what heels are comfortable for me (ie- below 3 inches. unless they are wedges. those feel more solid, for some reason?)

the nice thing about documenting my style is that i can go back through all of these pictures and i can really see what is working, and what isn’t. that’s kinda why i started doing this in the first place!

    I always love your outfits. I really want to go shopping/thrifting in Chicago. We were just there Friday night, but we weren’t there long enough to shop. Plus, I would feel bad dragging my husband around. Anyroad, keep posting your daily duds. They are an inspiration for me because I like to look somewhat fashionable but remain comfortable.

    Another admirer of your outfits – always inspiring. That mustard + mint and that bright blue long skirt + bag makes me impatient for summer!

    Lovely, lovely outifts! Your style is so cute and effortless. I’m a bit jealous really… Anyway! Happy New Year! Wishing you much happiness in 2013 xx

    These are terrific outfits, and I can definteiyl see how documenting them helps inrease creativity in dressing, and not just reaching for the same old sweater jeans (which is what I do most days, ugh).
