2016 Style Favourites

A belated Merry Christmas to you all. 😉 In the last week before year-end, I will be doing 5 posts over 5 days! All just rounding up the year just passed, and also looking forward to the year ahead. First up, I’m taking a look back at 5 of my favourite fashion posts/looks of the year. 2015 was the first time I ventured outside my room for outfit photos and in 2016, I started getting my good friend Andre to help shoot photos for me on his DSLR. This is what I did for the majority of the year, however after we graduated it became a lot harder to organise to do this on a frequent basis, so I bit the bullet and hired a photograpaher. I’d started a new job, had a bit more cash in my pocket, and thought – let me just invest in myself, it’ll pay off in the long run…

Another change I made was to switch up my wardrobe. Sometimes I look back on my photos even 6 months back and think about how uninteresting they were. Not that I’m now some dare-devil fashionista, but I definitely put a bit more thought into my outfits now and how I can make them interesting, and just generally more (my idea) of stylish. Since hiring a photographer and switching up my style, I have seen a very impressive/unexpected growth for Skylish both here and over on Instagram. I’m excited to continue growing this in 2017 and just seeing where it can take me!

Unsurprisingly, a lot of my favourite outfits are post hiring and photographer and switching up my wardrobe!
