January:
Mostly, I aim for keeping it cozy but still cute. Bulky sweaters, warmer scarves, thicker leggings, sturdier boots. What can I say, I'm a weather wuss (this WOULD be topped off with a wool pea coat and adorned with my favorite leather gloves were I to go outside...)
February:
Tried to stick with warm but go a little more cutesy/girly... thinking along the lines of how nice this dress works for a cute date outfit, so I was going with Valentine's Day in mind...
March:
I dub this one March because it's what I actually wore today... clever, I know. I feel like March is a month that's just cold enough to still be wearing boots, sweaters, and scarves, but to be using your sweater and tights as your main form of warmth, instead of a layer underneath your coat. Plus, the scarf is CLEARLY a spring scarf, and I feel like the outfit is kinda cheerful?
April:
Getting warm, always a good excuse to wear lots of lace and just look plain lovely. Definitely went for lots of lace. Lots and lots of lace.
May:
So I originally bought this dress to wear for my 20th birthday. As follows is the closest recreation of my 20th birthday outfit as is possible. Same headband, same necklace, same shoes. My hair is a little wilder, my arms are a little fatter, and the earrings were an unfortunate casualty to the security line at JFK (forgot to grab them, made it to Dublin without them. Oops!), but it's basically the same outfit...
June:
Tends to be the point at which I mostly aim for keeping my hair out of my face, but still want to look cute and put together. Thus... colorful, coordinated, and belted...
July:
I'll admit, I'm also a heat wuss in addition to being a cold wuss. I live in one of the mildest states in the country for summer, and I pretty much die by July. If the temperature exceeds 80, I'm useless without being safely enclosed in an air conditioned building. Which, because this is Seattle, means you can't EVER be at home in the summer if you'd like to stay cool. So... if this outfit is boring as hell, that's because sometimes, on hot days in July, all I have the energy for is a dress that's cute on its own, and a pair of sandals.
August:
Well, I screwed up. Camera batteries are running low, so some pictures are blurry even with auto focus and self time. I didn't catch it in time to take another picture, and I am now cozy in my PJs, so this blurry image which sort of captures the fact that I do like to explore my pseudo pinup look on less miserably hot days of summer will have to do. I find fascinators in the form of flowers, adorable shows, and my skinny red belt to be absolute necessities of any slightly old fashioned looking, cute as a button, totally pulled together outfit. Hey, to each their own.
September:
I love fall. Whenever the damn season starts, I'm the first to experiment with every layer I can dream up, fun color combinations, cute pumps, I bring out my cardigan collection after a long summer, I do whatever I can to stay consistently adorable. This one would be more fun and quirky, but I digress.
October:
A more sporty take on something I might wear in the fall.
November:
Because I like to not have to wear pants to work, I need to wear all black, and last year I FINALLY figured out how to do it and still keep warm. I seriously wear this exact outfit on an incredibly regular basis when it's cold outside.
December:
This is an old picture. It was actually taken in January (gasp) 2011. But I LOVE this outfit, and was getting too tired to change my clothes anymore, so I figured if it was the outfit I wanted to showcase, why not use an older picture of it?
I feel like this would be a better sort of photo shoot to do when I'm properly awake.
