Day one of the challenge is a style retrospective. Unfortunately, all the pictures of me as a child are located in Massachusetts with my parents, however, I was able to scrounge up a few from Facebook. Obviously, as a child, I was really cool and wore bright blue bathing suits (most likely from L.L. Bean, of course) and pool rings on my head.
Can I just note, that I was in costume when this photo was taken - we were rehearsing our Destination Imagination skit. It was probably really late after a full day of school, so we can excuse a lot. But we cannot overlook those awesome shoes I'm wearing (that's me in the red suit, holding my friend Bridy). Clunky, fabric, with crisscrossing elastic thingies. I actually wore those. To dances. To band concerts. Ick.
And finally, my uniform during high school (front row, second from left): jeans and a sweatshirt. Clearly I was very uninspired in the mornings (I'm glad times have changed, overall. College and moving to DC have done wonders for my fashion, but I still feel like I am finding myself. I'm wishy-washy and tend to follow the trends, and I wish I could just find something that's me and stick with it. We'll keep working on it.
