Let’s Chat: Personal Style

hi!
let’s chat: personal style.
of course, as a fashion grad, i could talk about fashion… art… anything creative… forever. i just cannot get enough of it.
well, today i want to talk about personal style. let’s get into it.
i won’t go too deeply into how to curate your own personal style. i plan create a full podcast post about that (once i get it up and running!).
i think that fashion, makeup and how we decide to present ourselves to the world can truly speak to what’s at our core. i am particularly interested in people who make it a point to have a distinct tone of voice which speaks through their clothing. you can see optimism, love, hate, rebellion, disgust all in just what pair trousers someone wore that day. isn’t that so intriguing and nonsensical?
personal style can say so much. for me, i can clearly pinpoint my phases of uncertainty, pain and lack of self by looking at what i wore in the past.
for a while, i struggled to feel comfortable in my body and the way i would clothe myself really reflected this. my outfits were ill-fitting, mismatched and chaotic without direction. this not to say i looked horrible all the time, my personal stye just had no purpose. i was immature and constantly second guessing myself, of course it translated to how i presented myself.
i like to think that i’ve found harmony with my clothing. everyday that i adorn my body with the materials i choose to wear for the day, i make sure it’s with purporse, utility and beauty.
and this year, i’ve never felt more beautiful. i treat my morning routine as a time to dress myself as a doll. fun, free, unpredictable and with a lot of accessories.
i’m curious to see where my style leads me next. i plan to lose a lot of weight in the next couple of months so i know that i will be purging a great deal of my current wardrobe and renewing it. i will also be working with a transformed body. i wonder how i will decorate myself…
isn’t it exciting to look into the future that you are actively building in the present?
anyways, that’s all i have to say. enjoy your day:).
bye bye xox
