Well, that was a year.
Not “a year”…a year. I mean, lots happened.
Style-wise I went from city girl to suburban mama, and my look chilled out accordingly (but still managed not to change all that much, because I’ve been a creature of slouchy habit since approximately 1981).
I used to occasionally wear skirts and dresses and, you know…clothing that people wear in public; now I reach for jeans and sweaters that could arguably double as pajamas. Or might actually be pajamas. You never know.
I used to be wedded to my heels; these days, I’m more likely to pull on a pair of snow boots.
I used to carry adorable little purses; I totally still do, thanks the presence of an actual, for-real station wagon (!) in my life that handily totes all my diapers and wipes and changes of clothing and little blinky toy things for me.
Here’s what happened on the RG style frontier in 2012…

{ Underwent the aforementioned style makeunder… }
{ Let out my inner Tyra for Buffalo Jeans (click through the link to see what I mean)… }
{ Hit the road in snakeskin heels… }
