wall of text incoming!!!
15 april '14
just got one fit (my very first one!), but this was the point at which i decided to get into fashion.
i got into fashion because there was this very fashionable girl at my high school at the time and i liked her a lot, figured this'd get her attention
also my first post to r/teenmfa, i remember being very scared to post myself back then!

picture with my very first purchases. uniqlo sweatshirt, new new balance 574s.
unintentional normcore actually. was very self conscious about cuffing my pants. still had no idea what i was doing.
october '14 - february '15
really liked the monochrome stuff, browsed a lot of /fa/ (as you can tell).
felt very cool in all black, but also very self conscious.
at this point i'm still very much dressing to impress others.
march '15 - jun '15
streetwear??? starting to dress a little more for myself, not so much for others.
really liked the japanese inspo stuff i saw on /fa/ around that time, but had no idea how to recreate any of it.
last year of high school too!
july '15 - february '16
scandinavian minimalism! i was going to start university this summer, so i wanted to look trendy but still kind of different.
still didn't have a job at this time, so i couldn't afford many clothes and a capsule wardrobe seemed like a great solution.
less self conscious about my clothes, more self conscious about my hair, which is why i got a baseball cap.
march '16 - january '17
streetwear pt 2. this time with more originality! feeling pretty confident in what i wear at this point, and thus made an account here!
not really afraid to wear 'different' clothes anymore! only took me 3 years!!!
also starting to invest in non-mall clothes at this point, since i got a job.
february '17 - now
streetwear pt 3. i guess it could be lumped in with the streetwear pt. 2, but i feel like from here on my stuff became more cohesive and i'm not afraid of colors anymore.
also buying less clothes at this point, since i'm only getting stuff i really like.
starting my 3rd year of university after this summer break already, time flies!!!
ended up putting more effort into this than i thought, but it'll be cool to look back on i think
very happy i saved my older outfits! i have many more but decided to post the 'best' of each period
no i didn't, i barely even talked to her haha
i am/was too shy, fashionable people are intimidating
