My Decade in Style

CLICK TO ENLARGEAfter writing a style retrospective of the 2000’s for Wear Windy City, it dawned on me that I’ve have a pretty interesting decade myself. I’ve gone through several hair colors, boyfriends, apartments, and, above all, style changes.
Some of my clothing choices have come and gone while others have stayed. Though, no matter how awful some of my fashion from this decade was, it willalways be unforgettable for me. I spent the last years of my teens to the last years of my twenties figuring out who I am (and who I want to be) throughout the last ten years and those life changes were ultimately showcased in my clothing.
I’m looking forward to what the next decade will bring. I can only assume it will include a wedding dress and maternity jeans but who knows. Only time will tell and I am very excited to find out.
