you can't teach an old dog new tricks

I'm still wearing the same things I wore at age five.  Well, more or less.  While the actual clothing items have obviously changed, I have had basically the same style my entire life.  From a very young age I always wanted to pick out my own outfits.  Some of my best looks featured a black pleather jacket from The Gap.  Obviously, I was very cutting edge.  Truly though, my style has stayed consistently classic-with-a-twist.  On my first day of kindergarten, I rocked a white Ralph Lauren polo with a navy blue kilt.  Yes, a kilt.  Other signature Emily Grant pieces include a hot pink headband with a larger than life bow, dark wash Gap jeans with leopard-print cuffs, and of course my red leather Dorothy flats.  While today, I skip the kilts for pencil skirts, and have moved on from leopard-cuffed-jeans, I haven't wandered too far from my style roots.  Today, I'll throw on a white Ralph Lauren oxford, a pair of dark wash Hudson's and some leopard ballet flats.  I still gravitate towards classic basics with some cheeky accessories thrown in.  I have yet to experience a "what was I thinking?! moment" because I've always had the same narrow mindset when it comes to what I wear.  Maybe I'm the only one?  Hey, it's worked for me this long.
