Best of 2013....


Green Jacket / Chambray / Skirt / Pumps


Blue Shirt / Jeans / Boots


Top / Skirt


Scalloped Dress / Yellow Cardigan


Denim Jacket / White Jeans / Heels / Heels 2 / Heels 3


Hat / Top / Shorts / Necklace


Peasant Top / Flare Jeans


Hat / Sweater / Flats / Bag


Top / Skirt / Lace Up Booties


Khakis / Leopard Heels


Jacket / Jeans / Sneakers


Gingham Shirt / Sweater / Skirt

I look at a lot of my older outfit posts....and just say to myself....WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE YOU THINKING LOLL!! Especially the ones with the bright red hair. Oh boy. Thank goodness we've passed that phase. Has this ever happened to you? Those cringe worthy photos. The ones you just want to delete or revert to draft. Yup. I've definitely experienced this first hand. Having a blog is a cool way to document memories. See how your style has evolved over the years. Things that worked. Things that didn't. Recipes you absolutely loved. Recipes that were complete failures. Saying too much. Saying too little. And so on. This blog has been a challenging and rewarding experience for me. Also, a humbling one. I've met so many sweet people. You guys are like my online family. And I'm so grateful for all of you. I would not be here without you, so thank you for your continued love and support. It means more to me than you will ever know. Also, just wanted to wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2014! Let's forget about the past. Let's stop worrying about the future. And just enjoy the present moment. May 2014 be an amazing year for all of you! Lots of love! -RitaPitaChiquitaBanana ;)

P.S. Just wanted to share 13 of my favorite looks from 2013 (links to similar items included).

It's such a classic. Yes, let's move on to the future and look forward to what it has in store! I can't believe it's already going to be 2014, it just blows my mind.

    Some of these were definitely my favorites too. When putting my post like this together I cringed a lot, pretty much everything from the beginning of the blog to last January should be deleted and never spoken of again, but then I hunk, if the early stuff isn't a bit embarrassing, I'm not growing.
