Growing up, my mom always put me in the best outfits, complete with a hair bow and pearl bracelet. I loved it! Dressing up was my thing.

How cute am I?

Here I am in my annual Christmas Day outfit (I told you I am a Tennessee Vols fan):

There were also my dancing outfits to dress up in! I took jazz, ballet, and tap. More than dancing, I loved our outfits for the big shows!

So I might have started off a very stylish young gal, but I fell into an awkward stage (don’t we all?). This picture is the perfect example of this time in my life:

I remember PUTTING STICKERS on this shirt to give it a little something (no, this wasn’t a fashion designer in the making, it was a poor kid trying to make something out of a plain tee shirt)! I also wrote “Sports” on the front with pen, because the stickers were baseballs, basketballs, etc. Really? Yes, really.

I also remember replacing the laces of my sneakers with the laces from my roller blades, hence the bright pink! Oh God! Check out those floral leggings, too! Who remembers ’em?

Here are a few more photos from my awkward stage:

I think that’s a sports bra under my spaghetti strap tank. Haha!

This is classic! I loved, loved, loved this Pepe Le Pew shirt. Don’t ask me why. Maybe it was the pink glitter? Goodness! And what’s up with the scrunchy on my arm? Fashion statement? Eh. Not really.

You’d think looking back on graduation day from middle school, one might feel proud. How can I with such a hideous outfit?

Wow. Fur with open toed shoes! What was I thinking? It’s pretty sad, because this was High School! Eek!

Eventually, my sense of style improved, but there’s no shortage of photos like these.

Oh, wait! You don’t believe me? I did get better, promise…

Here’s proof:

Actually, I have to be honest. Not much has changed about me between then and now. I’m still a pretty bad dresser. I need to get back that spunk I had as a kid—that, or have my mom buy all my clothes! Haha!

Have you always been a good/bad dresser? Or has your penchant for style changed over the years?
