Olivia Palermo's Style Evolution Proves She Never Had An Awkward Phase

Teach us your ways.

We first learned of Olivia Palermo on the reality show "The City," and have since followed her every (fashionable) move. The blonde reality star-turned-model has made a name for herself in the style world, first by working at places like DVF and Elle magazine and then eventually by starting her own lifestyle website.

It's safe to say that the 29-year-old is almost always the best-dressed person in the room. So we decided to take a look back at some of her outfits from the past few years to see how her sense of style has changed. We have to admit, we were expecting to see a few questionable choices (especially from the mid-2000s -- maybe a sequin bolero or a pair of unsavory Ugg boots), but alas, this lady has never made a bad sartorial choice. 

Take a look at some of Palermo's most memorable looks over the years and stew with us over the fact that she never had an awkward phase.
