This year has been a crazy one for my wardrobe. That probably sounds really silly, but it's true. In early 2011 I was just a simple, black bow flat lovin' gal and I was insistent that I'd never "love shoes"... Are we all rolling our eyes yet? Um yeah. I found three cute pairs of wedges/heels at Target one fateful day in February and my closet has exploded with platforms, ugly shoes and wedges ever since. Heaven help us all. Now I'm a little too obsessed and my "collection" is kind of embarrassing. At least we're making progress here! I really love showcasing my ~*personal style on LCH simply so I can see the mega mistakes I've made (yowza!) and fun ways to switch it up. It's kind of awesome to be able to look back and actually see personal growth and evolution. My outfits almost solely consist of cardigans, dresses and tights (still), but there's an occasional doozy every once in a while. These are my favorites of 2011...

If you're interested in 2010's Top 12 Outfits, you can see those here! (They're grainy and so dated, but still! Evolution!) I kind of can't wait to see what 2012 brings. Hopefully the faintest idea how to do hair/makeup so I can look less like a 12 year old hot mess! Oh, and I hope to get better at ~accessorizing (though I'm not a fan of jewelry... hmm!)
Do you have any favorite outfits of 2011? Yours? Mine? Another blogger's? Share them below! Inspiration should be celebrated!
so cute!! Blonde wig is so adorable. I can't ge over how cute it is!
ReplyDeleteYour style is so rad. It's great to see how you evolve over something as short as a year. I sure know I have.
Here's to 2012! Have a great week :) :) :)
I can't believe how fast this year has gone by! You look lovely in all these photos, you really know what dresses look best on you!

xox
adorable is right! i was just thinking of doing the same sorta post for my blog :o)
ReplyDeletehow does your hair stays still healthy with your different hair colors? i am jealous, you are always looking AMAZING! i am excited to see what colors of hair and which outfits do you choose next year <3
ReplyDeleteit's amazing how fast a year can just fly by. I love how your hair changed with the seasons too. I look back at my pictures and see how my style has evolved and sometimes cringe. haha.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute idea. I love watching your hair evolve throughout the year. xo, rv

I adore so many of those dress and you always style them so well!

You should go dark again! It's so beautiful. Mind you, you really can rock every colour and this collection of outfits is PROOF. Werk it gurrrrl!~
ReplyDeleteYou literally have one standard outfit (dress, tights, short cardy) that you just switch out patterns and colors with.
ReplyDeleteI love your looks, I'm really quite jealous of your wardrobe. In my ideal world I'd wear cardigans, dresses, and tights everyday but I'd be lost about shoes and accessories. I usually end up wearing the same jewelry everyday even though I have loads of options.
ReplyDeleteI really love the hot dog dress look, it is so colorful and makes me think of a comic book. I love your most recent look with the spiked boots as well because I also like to think of myself as a heavy metal princess.
Some of my favorite personal items this year are a pair of lace up pants I was given and a white beaded cardigan I found from 'Charming Charlie', I always feel amazing when I wear either.
I'm talking too much as always, I hope you have a great New Years!
You are truly gorgeous and your blog is a joy to read.

@ Anonymous: I feel like you must lack the mental capacity to comprehend a sentence (or you just don't read anything...) This blog constantly has the disclaimer: I only wear dresses with cardigans and tights. That's my style. Thank you for your this painfully obvious realization. I'm glad you could join the rest of us! ;)
ReplyDeleteI absoloutly love your style, I love to wear tights with my dresses because I dont really comfortable but you have inspired me to try it :D thanks!
ReplyDeletePlus I love how you rock the Lita shoes. I am happy I found your blog!!
Funny, I didn't know you could build a "fashion" blog based on one set outfit, but apparently you can. Learn something everyday!
ReplyDelete@anonymous: this is actually a lifestyle blog, but HEY! i'm livin' proof, baby!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, love your style...and love that you make dresses, tights and cardi's super special.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous can go suck a big fat LEMON!
I love all the outfits! I think Strawberry Rain is still my favorite! I also love blonde on you! I usually buy longer mid-thigh cardigans, but I think I'm going to try some shorter ones, thanks to you :D
ReplyDeleteIt's fun watching you dress up! I love your outfits and I love to watch the evolution of anything, especially someone's personal style!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing your hair change throughout this past year, as well as your style. I think we always stay true to our roots in fashion/style, but there's always new branches we go out onto for a time. I was thinking about outfits I've worn this past year, and there's a few that just make me grimace and wonder, "Why did I EVER wear that?!" It's all a part of the journey, I guess. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite outfit of yours this year is the 70's Lady post. :) It's one of the first posts of yours that I saw, and I remember showing it to my mom because I loved it so much. :)

My favorite one is She's gone country. Denim always makes everything more comfy. At least that's my perception. :)
ReplyDeleteI love love love your style! You're so pretty! :) I miss your pink hair/wig/whatever it's so cute!!! Maybe you'll go pink again in 2012? :) You get a lot of haters on this blog. They probably wish they had your lifestyle AND wardrobe. I sure do! :D pretty girlllll! :)

Anonymous haters: Your opinions don't matter! Get a face and maybe then they will!

ReplyDeleteps: thank you for not having a captcha. IT'S A LIFE RUINER.

I love your recap & your style!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see the style evolution :] I think it's great to discover what works best on you and stick with it.
I started reading in Feb and I have to say I have always been impressed by your shoe collection but I had no idea until today that you had just started it. I am blown over by your commitment to adding to your collection! It is so awesome what you have done in the last "year". LOL. I hope to add JC's to mine one day...because of you I am a fan and I think his shoes should totally be considered ART!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. You also helped me to start wearing dresses & tights. I was stuck in the boring jean zone.
You look gorgeous in each and every look. And I love all the haircolors on you! Wow!

p.s. last year's blazer looks way to cool not to incorporate in a cute little outfit again, just sayin' :D
awesome post. you look beautiful in every one!
ReplyDeletexo
Looking back on all these pics, I think I like your dark hair the best. And I love your "dress, tights, cardigan" formula. It works for you! And actually, it works for me too even though I have a different body type. I don't see what's so annoying about that...
ReplyDeleteyou're my hero.
ReplyDeletecutest girl alive!
all of your dresses are always so adorable! you definitely rock them!!
ReplyDeleteI love this! What surprised me is how I recognized the outfits as I went through them. I remember lusting after that mustard cowl! I can't believe it has been an entire year.
ReplyDeleteI loved your outfits from 2011 and really look forward to seeing what 2012 will bring!
You are lovely! I am so happy to have found your blog. You have great style and I love how you change up your hair colours. Some people look weird with different hair colours but you look great no matter.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, gorgeous. Happy new year! :)
<3 Sara
Can we talk about your hair? HOW DO YOU CHANGE IT SO OFTEN!? My stylists keep telling me to pick something and stick with it for awhile (recently went totally, completely platinum blonde for now, but I have my eyes on some serious purple). How do you do this and keep super healthy, gorgeous hair?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I want to go through and tell you my favorites out of this line up but there are far too many! <3
ReplyDeleteI will say, however, that I just love the dress in your Cranberry Lace Cowgirl post. If you ever see another one for sale online please let me know so I can snatch it up!
xo
ah! I love, love, love your style. And your wigs. Where did you get them? I'm in the process of trying to find some because I'm going to shave my head soon and I'm not comfortable enough with the idea of no hair. Your wigs look so natural!

ReplyDeleteBasically... You have the cutest clothes ever.
ReplyDeleteloved the outfit recap! love how your hair changed each month!

ReplyDeleteYou are such a cutie pie! Is there anything better than a great cardigan? I seriously doubt it!
ReplyDeleteI love your summer looks. You're always gorgeous :)
