Farewell 2016: Cheers to Ending the Year in Style

I can’t thank you all enough for joining me on this journey to explore style on a budget. With your support, I’ve been able to achieve some really cool things this year, from new opportunities to major milestones. Our community has also pushed me to sharpen my personal style and the skills required to run this blog. Talking about skills, nurturing my love of photography is one the best gifts to emerge from working on Economy of Style. And, I feel fortunate to live in St. Louis because the city has served as such an important muse for my photographs this year.

For a quick glimpse at how St. Louis has inspired me, check out 25 Stunning Backdrops for Fashion Photographs in St. Louis. From my neighborhood to the immediately surrounding neighborhoods, St. Louis has provided me with a wellspring of artistic inspiration.

I’m thrilled then that my final blog post is coming to you from the St. Louis Riverfront, the historic front door to St. Louis. I’ve done photoshoots often here, like in this post. The location looks different today because of thick (and beautiful) fog.

I’m looking forward to continuing to produce content in 2017 and to engage with you. I also wish you the happiest new year ever! See you in 2017.
