All I’ve got to say, folks, is what a banner bloody year it was.
Yes, I follow the news. We’re all watching the same dumpster fire. But the personal isn’t always political; I’m proof positive of that. 2017 was formative for me in so many ways. Personally, professionally, academically, creatively — I got that much closer to my final form. This year I started museum school and finished my first semester with a perfect 4.0. I wrote my first article for Racked (which was touted in the New York Times!). I taught historical sewing at the Heritage Winooski Mill Museum and was featured in my local paper for it. I drafted a Belle Epoque walking suit and wore it to lecture at the Springfield Steampunk Festival. I got engaged!
This year was filled with feathers and rayons and fabulous brooches. With museums and Manhattans and the cutest ring you’ve ever seen. I’m hoping, in 2018, for more of the same and then some. Without further ado, here are my top ten outfits of the past year.
me-made may: gatsby’s garden | antiquarian’s creed
been a while (crocodile) | matching bricks & deco drama
red in suit and claw | pajaminated
the medieval museologist | springing forward, sliding back
oatmeal, burgundy, & life lately | mary poppins & platonic ideals
what a fabulous recap!!

This has been such a crazy year, I’m loving everyone’s blog recaps so I can catch up. Sounds like a pretty amazing year! Looking forward to seeing what 2018 brings. =)
