Thank you for these heartfelt reflections on your style journey! It is so well told. I enjoyed reading your realizations about weather, and the idea one should wear the same things from Spring through Summer... I understand this. I felt that guilt too! But like you, YLF has helped me there. When you acknowledge your climate, and start to equip yourself in consequence, life becomes so much easier (in terms of getting dressed).
Storing the clothes from the other seasons away from the eyes and grasp might be the best way to go in our climate.
I really like how your style has been shaping itself to where you are now. It's amazing to see the two pictures side by side. You could wear the boho artsy style well, I think, but this more classic turn seems to be more you, and maybe have more personality on you (because of how you wear it). It's interesting to see where it will go.
