2015. best. nine.

For more snapshots like these, you can follow me on Instagram at @a_wilmer.

Before we officially leave 2015 behind (crazy, I know!), I wanted to share my #2015bestnine. (If you haven't already, check out this website that will generate your most liked Instagram posts from the past year.) No surprise, outfit snapshots dominated my Insta feed along with my very own pint-sized Christmas tree, which I'm still loving. 

Speaking of personal style: There's no question that my J.Crew Factory field jacket was my go-to layering piece in 2015. I wore it with literally everything... and still can't get enough of it. (Sounds like an excuse to invest in another one, right?!). This year also marked a more minimalist + streamlined aesthetic for me. I was all about stripes, simplicity and flats (lots of ballet flats). Oh, and, we can't forget about my favorite Industry Standard jeans, which I already know will be in constant rotation in the new year.  

Thanks for reading + cheers to a new year,

A

Well, hello 2015!  Although I’m not typically one to get caught up in New Year's resolutions and all that jazz, I did make it a point to freshen up the design of my blog.  The change is subtle, but I did my best to streamline and minimize the overall layout + come up with a new header.  While the result is far from groundbreaking, I’m content with it… for now.

In other news, I’m excited to get back into the routine of blogging at least once a week. During the holidays (aka my favorite time of the year) and the tail-end of last semester, I simply couldn’t contribute regular posts.  But, with it being a new year, I feel more motivated than ever to get back at it.  Yay!

I wasn’t kidding above when I said that resolutions weren’t my thing.  They totally aren’t.  I have, however, decided that my word for 2015 is AESTHETICS.  In all aspects of my life, especially on Instagram and throughout this blog, I’m going to only post content/layouts/photos that are reflective of my personal aesthetic.  I appreciate minimalist, simple design and am partial to a pop of color (even better if it’s a Pantone swatch!).  In regards to my personal style, I really want to *attempt* to pull off a more effortless, casual, “off-duty” look.  Not to say that I don’t want to look put-together – because I do! – but, at this point, I’m so over my outfits always appearing too calculated.  Cue in no-nonsense chambray and gingham shirts, more jeans (!!!) and smoking slippers + loafers galore.  

What else?!  In an effort to avoid sounding too cliche, I think I’m going to leave it at that! 

What types of posts would you like to see on bitte. und. danke. in 2015?  Leave a comment below -- I’d love to hear your thoughts!

xo,

A
