If there's one thing we're more than willing to admit, it's that we're slightly addicted to Instagram. Rarely a day goes by that we don't scroll though our feed, double tapping outfit inspiration and posting #OOTD selfies. But while we can barely remember a time before 'gramming was cool, it still doesn't feel that old — until we're 84 weeks deep into someone's page, staring at a blurry, filtered photo of their neighbor's dog.
Even our favorite bloggers — who curate beautiful accounts and rarely post non-professional-looking pics — were guilty of those embarrassing posts from yesteryear. And the outfits? The outfits might make you cringe.
But rather than tell you about it and force you to scroll through years and years of content, we've included the good ones up ahead. Keep reading to see these ladies' first-ever Instagram and #OOTD posts, then celebrate the fact we've made such great progress in this short amount of time.

A comment by @garypeppergirl: "You got an iPhone! Welcome to the dark side of Instagram — so addictive :)" Ain't that the truth!
