This is a picture of me with two friends from my swim team in middle school. We swam together year round.

I got a nickname for

I am wearing a knit dress that my grandmother made for me. It also had a matching hat.

# data[].attributes.body
The lace top I am wearing is actually just a few yardages of elastic lace trim which I tied around by chest in lieu of a shirt. At this time, I did not have a lot of white clothing. I was known for wearing darker colors, especially black. So, in order to wear the required white and blue outfit, I needed to get creative.

# data[].attributes.body
This outfit is a total mix up. I am wearing celestial print leggings, Tommy Hilfiger leather boots, a distressed sweater, a denim/leather jacket which I made, and a scarf-like accessory I bought on Portobello Road.

While working for Adidas, I received a really good employee discount.

I purchased matching running sneakers for my husband and I, seen below after we ran a Turkey Trot.

I bought this bathing suit because of my love for the UK and the homesick feeling I had after we moved back to the US.

I wore this bathing suit, and posted this photo, on the fourth of July. I was playing on the fact that despite "celebrating" and American holiday, my heart was still in the UK.

My friend Claire and I competed in, and won, a Cornhole league championship. The team name we selected was "Corn to be Wild". I painted custom tank tops for us to wear to our games every week.

The league coordinator loved the tanks so much that he took a photo of us and put it as the cover of the league's email blast marketing.

At this event, we were representing Russia. I coordinated with the team to wear white bandanas, red shirts, and blue bottoms which represented the stripes of the Russian flag.

# data[].attributes.body
I will embrace any opportunity to coordinate and create matching outfits with my friends.

I love the unity that matching creates, and a sense of belonging.

At this music festival, I asked a bunch of my friends to all wear white tops and blue bottoms. The theme of the festival is America, so red, white and blue are the primary colors you'll see people wearing.

My favorite holiday! I love coming up with a unique costume idea and creatively making my own costume.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the first year we started dating and Jacob did not want to wear a couples costume. It took a lot of convincing to get him to go out in this outfit.

I picked Pebbles and Bam Bam because it was fun, and a little bit different.

# data[].attributes.body
These costumes were easy to make and looked awesome, but it made it very hard to navigate crowded bars that night.

They were about 3 feet wide and had side panels that made them approximately 18 inches thick. There was no flexibility and you either had to position you arms inside of the cardboard box (and comfortably by your side) or awkwardly outside of the box.

I tried to convince by friends to be loofahs for Halloween, which I thought would be really cute and super funny. No-one wants to participate, so I ended up just being a loofah by myself. I wasn't interested in "sexy" halloween costumes anymore, and I wanted to go with something fun instead!

I made this costume and it turned out really well.

My paternal grandmother, December 1979.

This is the same skirt I was given by my Aunt.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an example of the outfits I started wearing when I began to dress myself at a young age.

Winnie the Pooh sundress, red striped leggings, maryjanes, winter coat and sunglasses.

# data[].attributes.body
I am wearing a necklace that my aunt gave to me, which used to belong to her.

I am wearing a long silk skirt that came from Japan. My aunt also gave this to me, it used to belong to my grandmother and was a gift to her from my grandfather when he returned from a trip to Japan.

I was really interested in novelty tights for a period of time.

These tights make it look like I have knee high stockings with visible garters.

I think its interesting that my parents took us to get professional portraits but did not take the band-aid off of my leg.

Both my friend and I are wearing typical 2006 middle school outfits - collared shirts, Hollister and American Eagle.

While living in the UK during high school, I attended a private school with uniforms.

The school was originally boys only, and when they started to accept girls they just added a skirt to the uniform. This translated to a very male uniform with a blazer and tie.

# data[].attributes.body
I am wearing a striped button down shirt with a tank top underneath. I made the stone rock necklace at a local jewelry store with a rock from Martha's Vineyard.

At this time, I was religiously straightening my hair.

# data[].attributes.body
During a family trip to France, I frequently wore a fake hair scrunchie. I would slick my hair back into a bun and then wrap the fake highlighted hair scrunchie around my own hair.

# data[].attributes.body
This as the first pair of "grown up heels" I can remember purchasing.

I bought these at an off-price retailer like Ross or Marshall's.

It has hard for me to convince by mom that I was old enough to wear heels.

I think you can tell by the way I am standing that I had not yet mastered standing in heels.

# data[].attributes.body
I painted this bike myself.

The hair wrap was done on vacation and has beads. It is one of the first non-permanent ways I was able to alter my hair.

# data[].attributes.body
My mom and I, wearing the same dress.

We are wearing tie dye shirts that we made that summer.

My mom frequently dressed me in Pippers clothing. They are known for their prints and the way they mix prints.

While reviewing my family pictures from over the years, I was so surprised by how many times we all wore matching or coordinating outfits

# data[].attributes.body
My brother, myself, and my grandmother are seen all wearing leopard print bathing suits.

My cousin, her cousin on the other side of her family, and I wore matching/coordinating dresses at our grandparents' annual summer cocktail party.

# data[].attributes.body
During a trip to visit my cousins while they were living in France, our moms bought us matching dresses and we wore matching French handkerchiefs as headbands.

The cotton dresses had a beaded trim.

# data[].attributes.body
I was a bridesmaid at my cousin's wedding. She only asked that we wear a navy blue dress.

I designed and made this dress myself.

# data[].attributes.body
This was my own senior prom. The dress was strapless and had a panel of fabric at the back similar to a train.

My mom convinced me to get this dress because she didn't want me to wear a black dress, like I wanted to.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the first "prom" I ever went to. It was in the UK, and wasn't a traditional American prom.

I was wearing matching purple satin slingback heels.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my junior prom.

I bought this dress for $70 at an off-price formalwear store.

I got my hair styled at a local salon and absolutely hated it. It was the first time I got my hair styled since the father daughter dance when I was burned by the stylist. I have never had my hair done since, aside from my own wedding.

# data[].attributes.body
I borrowed this dress from my friend Shelby. I was Shelby's boyfriend's friends's date.

It's not something I would have normally picked out myself. It kind of reminds me of a wedding dress. But I didn't want to spend money on a dress to go to a prom with someone I didn't know well.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved going to proms. I really like any excuse to dress up!

# data[].attributes.body
One shoulder, printed silk, yellow with multi floral, Zara

# data[].attributes.body
This is the first time I wore this dress. I purchased it at Zara.

I organized this prom while living in the UK, where they do not traditionally have proms.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a friend's prom I went to in 2010. This is the second time I wore this dress. This prom was in Pittsburgh, PA

# data[].attributes.body
This is the third time I wore the same dress to a prom.

This a junior prom I went to during my senior year of high school. The prom was in Bucks County PA.

I have styled my hair in a similar style to the prom I went to in 2010 wearing the same dress. However, in 2010 I had a hard time curling my hair. In 2011, I learned from my mistakes and was more successful in styling/curling my hair.

# data[].attributes.body
I have changed my hair color/style so much over the years.

While on co-op in Equatorial Guinea, I had my hair braided at the local bar/hair salon.  It took over eight hours and was very painful.

When I returned to the US, the reaction was surprisingly positive. I used to get stopped on the street by strangers who used over how great it looked.

# data[].attributes.body
The first "formal" event I have memories of getting ready for.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to personalize as much of my wedding as possible. The clothing worn was one of the ways I was able to do this.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was taken at a college party.

I had dyed my hair red just before leaving for my freshman year.

# data[].attributes.body
This sweater is Abercrombie & Fitch. It is the first piece of clothing that I can remember being excited about the brand or label.

My mom bought this sweater for me.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the first father daughter dance that I can remember picking out my own outfit.

I was wearing black skirt that matched the pink/black knit top and a matching headband.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the first time I ever had my hair professionally styled. The hair stylist burnt me on the face with the curling iron.

Family photo at my grandparents' annual summer cocktail party on Martha's Vineyard.

My brother and I are wearing clothing that my grandmother bought for us during her trip to Hawaii.

# data[].attributes.body
I bought my first set of curlers (before my first straightener or first curling iron) in fifth grade.

My mom has short hair and never taught me to style my hair or do my makeup. It was something I wanted to do/teach myself.

The curlers worked even better than I would have expected, I ended up with very tight ringlets when I took them out in the morning and didn't have time to fix my hair, so I ended up having to go to school with hair that was TOO curled.

Family photo (before my second brother was born).

Wearing matching Old Navy flag t-shirts. Despite being on vacation, my dad is still wearing khakis.

# data[].attributes.body
Another example of Dad's preppy style which continues to this day. My dad never wears jeans and all of his shirts have collars.

You can see that he inherited this sense of style from his father.

My parents in 1984 at the Devon Horse Show.

Both are dressed in a very preppy style.

My mom's mom has always been a very big part of my life. We have spent more time with her than my dad's mom.

We have taken many trips together and when we lived abroad she came to stay with us for a few months at a time.

In this photo I have black hair, which is reflective of the time I spent dying my own hair in college. I frequently changed the color from brown, black, red, and blonde.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo includes my dad's parents and siblings and their families. It was taken in 2012.

It was taken on Martha's Vineyard where our family vacations. I am the seventh generation of the Knipmeyer family to be spending time there.

My glasses at the time were purple Marc Jacobs frames. The thick acrylic frames are reflective of current eyewear trends.

I would consider myself an early adopter. I am able to recognize  trends early and incorporate into my style.

I also think that my fashion has changed over the years depending on where I am currently living and what I am doing. The surrounding culture tend to have a noticeable impact on my choices.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a picture taken at my younger brother's high school graduation in 2014.

My dad is dressed the same way he always dresses, khakis and a collared shirt. My mom is wearing a simple linen dress. I am wearing printed shorts, a black tank top that had cut outs on the back and strappy wedges. I would say that my parents are dressed in a classic style and I am dressed to reflect the current trends.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my parents' house in Pennsylvania. We moved into this house in 1997.

I am shown with our family dog, Chester.

At the time, I had a nose ring which reflected the fashion of the time.

I designed the tie fabric to include sea turtles and waves, per my husband's request.

For my husband, father-in-law, and brother-in law, I used the lace from my husband's mother's dress to line the ties. (seen on my husband's tie in this photo)

For my dad and brothers, I used part of my mom's dress for the lining.

# data[].attributes.body
I used the skirt from my husband's mom's dress. Her dress was white, while my mom's dress was cream, so I created a copy of the skirt pattern to add a chiffon overlay in matching cream color.

My husband's mother passed away when he was young, so I was never able to meet her. It was very special to be able to incorporate her dress into my wedding dress.

I also made my veil.

In this photo, my husband and I are hugging my mom's sister and my cousin.

# data[].attributes.body
I made my wedding dress using my mom's wedding dress and my husband's mom's wedding dress.

The bodice was taken from my mom's dress. I removed her long sleeves and used the lace trim to create cap sleeves. I made a belt using lace from my dad's mother's wedding dress.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was taken at my wedding. It includes both of my parents, my two younger brothers, and my maternal grandmother.

My brothers are both wearing "groomsman attire", matching navy suits, white shirts, and ties. I designed the fabric of the ties and made them myself. They are blue with navy turtles and waves.

My dad is wearing a different black suit but is also wearing a matching tie.

My mom and grandmother chose to coordinate their outfits to match the blue theme of the wedding.

My name is Amelia Drummond.

I was born and raised in Pennsylvania but I currently live in Dallas, Texas. I also spent two years living in the UK during high school.

My dad's parents were from Germany and England. My mom's parents were from England and Poland.
