After several years and a thousand fabrics, the U.S. pop anomaly just gets more and more fun to look at. So, let's look at her some more.
Keeping up with Santigold's myriad outfits is a full-time job. Luckily, it's OUR full-time job, so we've painstakingly combed through years of photos of the Philly dub pop starlet to find the highlights and headscratchers of SantiGear.
Watch Santi's mad stylistic evolution from her newbie years through last week, when she shined at MTV Iggy's Music Experiment in Chapel Hill.

Don't worry, this one supposed to be perplexing. Next #3 POOF! -

Santigold had a major shoulder poof fetish for a little while this year. It's a chic alternative to shoulder pads, as well as an ingenious development in napping. Next #2 Janis Joplin -

The Janis look is definitely one of my favorite SantiGetups of 2012. Something tells me this is how she played dressup as a kid while wreaking fingerpaint havoc. Next #1 Music Experiment -

After changing her outfit three times at MTV Iggy's Music Experiment in Chapel Hill last week (presented by Intel), Santigold emerged as a classy geometric babe with strong attention to detail, all the way down to the glasses chain.
