How I FINALLY found my real personal style

Описание: Recently, I was able to nail down the difference between what feels like my personal style and what feels like wearing a costume. My style has evolved, which is completely normal, and I’m leaning towards more classic, easy, relaxed, soft, neutral options instead of colorful, patterned, or feminine things. There are trends that I see around on people that look good but whenever I try it on myself it feels like I’m wearing a costume...almost like I’m trying too hard to look different from myself, if that makes sense.

After years of learning this the expensive way by buying and ultimately donating many “like new” items in my closet like chelsea boots, loafers, blazers, tiered dresses with shoulder ruffles, etc. I’m glad to have had this realization that I know how I want to dress these days. It makes shopping easier, it makes getting dressed easier, and I feel more like myself than ever!

Personal style is creative and an expression of you + your life at that time, and I kind of love the freedom and flexibility to adapt and evolve instead of feeling boxed in to one style category your whole life.

I shared a bit more about this on stories today, saved it to a highlight above, if it would be helpful to hear me talk through this. It seemed to resonate with folks so I wanted to have a place for it to live in the feed!

The TLDR; if you try on something in your closet and it feels like a costume, toss it in a donate pile. Pay attention to the clothes you love and narrow down why you love them! There isn’t a right or wrong way to dress, but the goal should always be to feel fantastic in whatever you put on, whether it’s a trend or not.
