Style Evolution: How Often Has YOUR Look Changed In The Past Year? What About Over 2 Years? 5 Years? ♥
February 8, 2010

The superb Stacey (oh, look! Alliteration! HI!) of the excellent Secret Life Of A Retail Assistant recently wrote a very interesting article on the subject of style evolution, demonstrating precisely how much her appearance has developed over the past few years, and to use a wild understatement, it was extremely, EXTREMELY intriguing! The changes of hair colour! The dramatic experiments with length! The avant-garde make-up looks! The try-outs with myriads of different types of clothing! To be honest, the whole extraordinary post left me in awe. And also, woefully embarrassed. Why? Because well, when it comes to style evolution, Pamela Anderson herself has probably had a more unpredictable ride on the roller-coaster of aesthetics than I have, and that's really saying something because um, last time I checked, she's favoured the same sartorial splendour of anything tight, bright and ultra revealing since 1995. Oh, dear.

Allow me to demonstrate:

Okay, so here we have some dreadlocks. But don't be fooled by this minor detour from normality! (Or the fact that in this photo, it REALLY looks like I'm about to aim for the black ball on the table, which we all know is rule number one in the no-no's of pool playing #101!) Because apart from sporting this semi-dramatic 'do when I was approximately 15 years-old, it never got any more daring or different than this..

Aha! Someone's discovered eyeliner. And although its starring role on my face isn't quite as prominent now as it was when I was 16 years old, it's definitely still a strong part of the regular cast..

Oh, look! Does that hair look familiar?! It should do, because it's the exact same cut/shade/everything that I have now! (And I was 17 in this picture. Gulp.)

And here I am trialling something ultra radical at 18: wearing a dress! Yep. Definitely don't love dresses. Nope. Absolutely not one of the reasons why Frock & Roll is, in fact, called Frock & Roll, or a valid explanation as to why there's an entire section on here called The Daily Frock! (Featuring regular outfits of myself wearing clogs and pants, obviously.) Random bonus information: please excuse the puncture marks: the two magnificent girls shown in this picture on either side of me are two of my very best friends, and this photo has been pinned on walls of my various bedrooms for years!

How often has your style evolved over the past year? Or in the last FIVE years? I think it's safe (ooh, the seemingly constant theme of my look across the years!) to say that I need a make-up or external over-haul in the hugest of ways!
