These lewks are sooooo last year 🙊
Last January, I made a list of fashion resolutions that I, of course, had not looked at or even thought of until I started writing this post. One year later, I realize that I actually kept most of them in check! Except for the bit about wearing high heels more often, because forget that. I just don’t have the motivation to be a few inches taller for all that discomfort. Though I do now notice the irony of me wearing pumps in the top photo. You’ll get more of the story on that if you scroll to the end of this post.
I haven’t done an outfit roundup in years and I thought it’d be fun to break things down by season. Scrolling through these looks, it was definitely a bit more of a minimal year style-wise. I mostly stuck to basics and jazzed things up a bit with accessories. This has helped me streamline my wardrobe and invest in lasting pieces instead of constantly indulging in fast fashion. I like to infuse some trends in there, of course, but I’m doing what I can to minimize the overspending and overconsumption, which is also why I tend to repeat pieces and wear things I’ve owned for years. I always try to link to similar when I can, but if you have any specific questions about outfits, let me know!
This is only a snapshot of what I wore in 2017, of course. If you click on the STYLE tab on the top menu bar, it’ll take you through a preview of all the outfits I’ve featured, well, ever. Hope you enjoy these seasonal OOTD’s and I look forward to chatting 2018 with you all tomorrow!
