Hey Remember That Time?

In honor of the new year and memory of the old, I thought I'd do one picture/outfit from every month this year...this proved to be far easier in conception than reality. When you have such a keen record of the days it is hard to pick favorites. I tend to not compare outfits or even stylings of specific pieces; how can you really rank such things and say one is better than the other?

Regardless of my qualms, I ultimately did prepare such a succinct post, but I limited myself to two or three images per month. So, here's a little flashback for you all...it has been a busy year, no?

Truth Depends On A Walk Around The Lake

A few sunny days and all the ice on this side of the lake has all but disappeared. Once again it is still and reflective; a soothing place to pass a bit of time.

It has been too long since I wore my star print dress, no? I wore it so much last year that I can only be inspired to wear it when I can think of a fresh way to style it. This little jacket from H&M did the trick, making the ensemble feel somehow patriotic. While black flats would be an easy end to the outfit, I did a little doodling on my shoes with a paint pen. I do enjoy shoes with a little splash of personality and clearly haven't moved past my high school habit of drawing on my Converse.
Also, if I keep wearing this Modcloth necklace and taking close-ups, everyone will be able to know exactly what time of day I am taking my outfit shots...

Stolen My Heart

I am newly enamored with the street fashion site "The Streethearts." Based in Oslo, Norway it not only showcases wonderfully dressed individuals, but each image is of superb quality. Romantic lighting, quirky accessories, and a unique spirit definitely makes me want to pack up for a visit to Oslo...

Seas Frozen Inside Our Souls

While plaid is definitely having a moment, it is decidedly a classic print. The uniform of choice for Catholic school girls and grunge bands, it clearly has a charm many can not resist...including me.

This particular skirt is vintage on loan to me from Market Publique, along with a number of other quirky/cool items. I was tempted to wear the skirt with my grey knee socks out of irony, but I thought it might be overkill. I couldn't resist wearing my new prescription glasses with them (geek chic and all that), but unfortunately it was raining and cold so they kept fogging up!
The lake near me is covered in ice; which is quite pretty and releases this fantastic mist as the day goes on and the sun comes out (when the sun comes out). When you throw a rock on the ice, it skids across making this really unique noise. I highly suggest those of you in colder areas to go find a frozen body of water and throw some rocks on it; easy entertainment.
