January: snow days & beer breadFebruary: the grandpa sweaterrequired readingMarch:sugarlips apparel military jacketApril:polka dots & hearts of ivyMay:bears & moons & polka dotsJune:i woke up in the morning & the sun said hiJuly: rompin' aboutjust for kicksAugust: stripes + floralSeptember: polka dots and messy hairOctober & November are where it gets a bit sketchy--no outfit posts to be found! I promise I got dressed every day, but between working until dark & camera/tripod/location issues, no documentation happened. December:proof that I still get dressed every day
I was obviously able to blog much more in the first half of the year--there were so many more outfits to choose from up through August! Putting these together was so interesting, to see my style change with the seasons and with time. Lots of changes this year: I graduated from college, went through a break up of a 2.5 year relationship, totaled one car & bought a new one, met & started dating a boy who I just adore, moved, was published for the first time (and then the second!), opened a vintage shop, started my internship, made new, life-long friends, and made lots of progress on things such as anxiety, bitterness, and worry about things I can't control. I think I learned how to forgive better, how to love better, and how to take care of myself better. I look to the future, to 2013, with new eyes that will keep looking for simple beauty in the world. Cheers to the new year!
