"It's not easy being green" Kermit the Frog

Yes, this is a picture of me. Yes my blog is called "Fashionable Farley" AND I believe that I have a lot to write about regarding fashion. Yes I used to think I dressed cool. Yes, I wore a green shiny shirt and LIKED it. Now that we have these facts established, let's move on.

It's so awkward/funny/amusing/sad/etc. to look back on old photographs especially from middle school. What an odd time. That's all I have to say. When I was in middle school, almost overnight I went from being a care-free kid not worried at all about what I wore... much less whose fashion label I was wearing...to being so preoccupied by what my friends thought was cool. Let me just say right now that whoever told me this outfit was "cool" must have been an enemy in disguise.

Yet, this picture means a lot to me. It symbolizes my first school dance, my first outfit that I remember being excited to wear, the first time I actually cared about fashion and my role in participating in being "cool". ( I hate putting words in quotes, but in this case find it completely necessary)

Anyways, who would have thought that I would ditch the short brown hair and shiny green shirt? Can you really blame me though? Looking back, I almost find it hard to see the real Jamie. Or is it the other way around?

Either way, I am glad I change almost as much as the fashion industry. It keeps me busy.
