what we wore,

Every year, at the end of the year, I make a list of my favorite
outfits that I shared on the blog. It’s a fun way to look back and see
all the outfits I put together, and the different hairstyles, and colors
I had. (Or in the case of this year how much my hair grew and what a strange thing it was for me to keep the same hair color! Who am I?) 

At the beginning of this year I made a goal to take lots of outfit photos since I wasn’t so great at it the previous year. There’s always room for improvement but I think I did pretty darn well. I took a lot more than in 2015, and there was a huge number that I considered my favorite so even whittling it down to this number was difficult. It’s actually killing me that I couldn’t take any this week and probably won’t next week since the majority of my clothes are packed up. I’d definitely like to continue my “more outfit posts!” goal into the new year because despite the fact that sometimes I have no idea what to write alongside the photos, I really do love taking them, and looking back on them after some time.

In 2016 I wore lots of stripes, fell in love with oversized cardigans, and of course, wore the heck out of my jean jacket. (That thing has to be one of the all time best thrift finds!) I relied on what has become my signature post (lookin’ to the right. What can I say, it’s my good side!!), and scoped out a handful of new little nooks around the city to sneakily take photos of myself. I talked about beauty and lovin’ your very weird self. All in all, it was a pretty solid year for outfit posts!

Hi Kaylah! Would you ever consider making a post on taking good self portraits, particularly getting accurate focus? I struggle so much with it!

Yeah! That's a great idea! I'll add it to my post idea list. 🙂

I notice a theme of a lot of black and white patterns, check and striped. Loving the looks though and how vibrant your hair always looks!
