It’s only natural that as the year comes to a close, to doing a little looking back at where you’ve been, what you’ve done and in my case (and probably yours too) what you wore. I can say undoubtedly that in the first two categories, it’s been a pretty amazing year. In that last one, there have been hits and misses but that’s what it’s all about, right?

Seriously though, 2013 has been a really wonderful year. All of the highs have outweighed the lows and I look ahead to 2014 with so much to be thankful for and so much that I’m excited about. I’ve also got a to-do list a mile long in my head of things I want to accomplish, enjoy and just plain finish (organize, paint, clean) but that’s one of the fun things about the start of a new year.

I’m thinking about doing a little resolution post, mostly as way to keep myself accountable and have a running list of things I’d like to do next year. But until then, I thought it would be fun to do a look back at some of my favorites outfits of the last year. It’s a list of look that have been inspired by gals on the streets, magazines, other bloggers and the sheer panic of staring at my closet and needing to get out the door in 20 minutes. Hopefully a couple of these looks has helped you conquer the closet panic but mostly I hope it’s showed that you don’t need to buy a million new things or spend a ton of money to look put together.

Thanks for sticking with me this year – it’s been a lot of fun growing and I’m looking forward to sharing more style spotting, getting more readers involved and just keeping this thing moving in the right direction in the new year. Definitely let me know in the comments what you’d like to see more or less of in the new year.

Cheers!
