dash of a roundup

it's retrospective time!

january

it was cold.  i wore skirts and tights anyway.  and my hair was super long.

february

still cold.  and i heart boots.

march

i went through a black phase.  and i got my hairs cut!  yay, bob!  well, actually the stylist wasn't named bob. 

april

i stopped wearing quite so much black. 

may

i was all over the place.  seriously, these photos are from chicago, seattle, las vegas, and los angeles. 

june

i was in one place...at work.  so i swapped my jeans and boots for skirts and heels. 

july

i bought a slouchy dolman-sleeved jersey-thingy in california and then wore it all month.  

august

i finished up my summer jobby and my sister took my outfit photos for me.  

september

i returned to the midwest to attend my best friend's wedding (left photo) and start my penultimate semester of grad school. 

october

i got a dolman-sleeved jersey cocoon-cardigan that became the fall version of july's top.  and there was gray.  lots of gray.

november

i started the thirty for thirty challenge.  and i wore more gray.  and i went to school.  and the famous bloggy lace skirt joined my closet. 

december

i finished my thirty for thirty.  and i heart boots.  

for 2011 i'm making some closet resolutions:

color!

christmas brought me this clay-colored dress and i thrifted a tomato red skirt that looks like this one yesterday, so i'm off to a good start.

pattern!

florals, stripes, houndstooth, etc.  my sister started this one off by gifting me a houndstooth scarf.

texture!

the blogtastic lace skirt was surprisingly easy to remix and my tweed skirt was a thirty for thirty allstar, so this bodes well for the future.
