Looking back on my styles over the past year makes me smile. The range of emotions represented surprises me. I don't know how I'm able to do what I do, sometimes. Haha. I think that the photos above celebrate who I am. They truly represent me. There is a darkness and a bright light in my soul. I'm painfully aware of this. There is a constant struggle between those two forces and I can see that struggle clearly represented in my styles over the last year. With time comes understanding. My style choices crisply depict an acute awareness. I'm excited to see what else my strange brain can do.

Thanks for sticking with me through all the weirdness! <3

I don't know you in person, but I think I can get what you say, and said, about the two sides of yourself, and I think it's nice that you put them on your blog - I enjoy seeing them! :) Congratulations for the 3 years, happy anniversary! May you go on for many more years, I love seeing your outfits! loved the Apple Crisp and the Coleco Vision, among the ones you picked now! But soon you will see the ones I loved most when the "thing" is published (not to spoil all I said it that way!) Hope you have a nice day and weekend, dear Anna!

Rad! Thanks, Denise. <3 I feel like I've been trying to figure myself out for at least a couple decades and it's still a "so close, yet so far" situation. Hehe. It's interesting to be able to at least catalog that journey through my outfits.

I love your style!! Such a great post :D

I've noticed that you have some super-playful-cute-character and some ominous-apocalyptic-warrior outfits so it's exciting to hear that they exist because of your different moods!

I think it's wonderful that you express your feelings that way.
And I love that a person can have such great variety in their style <3

You are awesome!!

Hehe. Yep. It's hard to know where I belong and I think that dichotomy is symptomatic of my confusion. I didn't really fit in anywhere, when I was growing up. It turns out that I didn't even fit in with my own family. I've always found myself on the outside looking in when it comes to so many things, my fashion sense being just one of them. *shrug* I guess, at this juncture, I'm most concerned about finding my center. Am I the cute one or the ominous one? I don't know if I can actually be both. Hehe. A constant battle.

Eh. I'm surprised that I was able to post so regularly for such an extended period of time. o_O I guess that should also be a part of the celebration. Haha.

Congratulations!
You are an inspirational dresser indeed. I also definitely have the dark vs. bright sides, both internally and in clothes. You are really a layering champion!

First off- congrats on three years of blogging! That's so exciting!

But you know- yeah, you tend to go with very dark outfits or very colorful, but it has never seemed to me that you have two seperate or competing themes in your style. It has always seemed very cohesive and I think it is because you cultivate a style that seeks to make a statement, and that uses clothing in atypical ways (whether it be creative color or print pairings or even pinning things for different hems etc). I always get excited to see your blog and see your creativity! So here's to another year of that!
