(Also... totally go follow my Instagram!! I've been trying to post a ton of fun content lately!)
THEME #1: CHRISTMAS THEME
This was the only theme out of the three that I truly enjoyed. I absolutely love Christmas, so I had no problem taking festive pictures filled with red and green hues. Christmas decor was everywhere, and I owned a lot of Christmas outfits, so it was fairly easy for me to keep up this theme and simply looking at it made me happy. Sadly, I had to end this theme when December 26th rolled around, for obvious reasons...

THEME #2: WHITE THEME
I honestly hated this theme, but it made perfect sense and worked out well. During the winter, I find it hard to take outfit pictures since everything is dead and there's no pretty nature anywhere, so a white theme was an easy way to create Instagram content. I took a lot of flatlays during this time, and I prefer shooting outfit pictures so this was a hard theme for me to enjoy. People keep asking me to bring this theme back, and maybe I will come winter, but I felt like this theme was too restricting and ultimately too white.
THEME #3: BLUE THEME
I unintentionally started this theme during my trip to Chicago, because the entire city is pretty much blue and gray so all of my pictures there were blue and gray. I liked this theme for a while, but I started to run out of blue clothes to wear in pictures and missed taking pictures of vibrant pinks and turquoises. During this timeframe, I was losing a lot of followers, and the blue theme slowed the decline but did nothing to help with follower growth.
THE TAKEAWAY
I think the only theme that I could actually stick to would be a theme that is "me." And honestly, I don't know what that is yet. There are some days when I like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer. There are other days when I prefer subdued, neutral tones and trendy, bohemian clothes. I'm torn between creating a bright and white theme or creating an unsaturated, trendy theme. I like both aesthetics equally, and I want my theme to reflect that. A jumble of all different colors and aesthetics may not look the best in a grid of photos, but that's who I am. My style is constantly changing. I'm a bit of a mess. But, I'm happy being a jumble of different styles. I love both preppy looks and trendy looks, and I want my theme to reflect who I am. So as of the moment, my theme is me. It's not perfect. It's messy. But it's happy and creative and inspirational and everything I want to be.
