Retrospective
Well, 2014 certainly was a busy year. We moved out of our rental an into my parents’ basement, then out of my parents’ basement to house-sit for someone; I had a baby and turned twenty-six (which has always seemed the tipping point into “real” adulthood for me); I quit my job, opened an Etsy shop, and began photographing more and more people; my grandmother, a great woman with whom I shared a birthday, passed away at the age of 91; my husband and I made a short film and won a 72 hour filmmaking competition; I dyed my hair red… many, many things. It’s been a wonderful year, and I am so thankful for everything that has happened! And through it all, my style has been evolving and shaping as well, into something that is much more “myself.”
So today, because I’ve never done it before, I want to take a look back at my favorite outfits of the year.

And that’s it! I feel as though my style has gone through a lot and evolved, yet still held the same elements — ladylike, a little quirky, and very twirly-skirted. Were you surprised to see three outfits with jeans in the mix? I was!

I love Swan Princess. It’s very flattering, and I think it makes you look smart and sophisticated. I also think Let It Snow is a beautifully constructed outfit.

Those two are at the top of my list, too! That swan skirt is by far one of my favorite skirts I’ve ever owned, and there’s something so classic about a simple black top with a skirt. I really love it!

And you look great in dark long sleeves, I think.
Eccentric Owl
I’ve really been wishing more things had sleeves lately! Sleeves can be so elegant!

I love round-up posts! Especially seeing how people have evolved. It seems like a lot of us vintage girls go quirky/cute in the warmer months and classic in the cooler ones. I’ve noticed that trend in myself as well.

I agree; I think in the winter, classic clothes are easier to wear because they’re usually longer-sleeved anyway. At least, all of mine are. Hah, in the summer I know I felt like being as simple as possible, which made me add quirky accessories (heart sunglasses) to feel a bit more styled.

So so many adorable outfits! I don’t know why I didn’t realize what an epic collection of skirts you have until now. You’re rocking them all!
You really did have a full 2014 and I hope this year is even better! Happy new year!

Maybe because the last 30 days have been dresses? Haha, you should see my skirt collection; I have over 50, I think. It’s bordering on hoarding. 😀
Happy New Year!
