Maybe I'm nostalgic or something but with the decade is coming to an end I decided to look back on my outfits from the past 10 years. Ten years ago I was a high school senior, making my own dresses for school dances, to be "different". Not that the dresses were all that special but to me, the fact I made them made them was special. Some elements of my style have stuck with me (ruffles, floral and animal prints). While others I have grown out of. I look forward to see where the next 10 years will take me.
