My Style in 5 Words

January 25, 2023 /

After reading KellyAnn’s (ThisBlondeShoppingBag) post about defining your style, I thought it would be fun to think about which 5 words came to my mind when I thought about my style. These are the first words that popped in my mind and I feel like they do define what I enjoy wearing and what is me! I used example of some of my favorite outfits of the past year to examplify what those words mean to me. And here is is the last post I wrote about my style is what in April 2020. Back then, I defined my signature style as being fun with a twist (still relevant), including statement earrings and fun shoes. While those are still true and I would wear those outfits (I think I have all of the pieces minus 2 tops), I think today’s words are more specific and helpful when shopping for new clothes (retail or thrifted).

Colorful

While I do enjoy wearing neutral outfits in creams, blacks and whites, I really am drawn to the colorful pieces in my closet.

That skirt above is my favorite! If you remember, I found it in a little shop in New Orleans and have worn it many times. Royal blue paired with that kimono is probably one of my favorite color combination.

Another favorite is fuschia and I cannot wait to hear my birthday/anniversary dress again (see here and here).

Practical

While on vacation and when I go on hikes, I still like to have a little style. I was surprised how much I love my striped shirt with the sand camo pants and I often pair my joggers with colorful accessories or tops to make a athleisure look more interesting.

 

Touch of Boho

I love embroidery, flowy dresses and skirts, kimonos and my cowboy boots. I may not wear these too often but when I do, I really love my outfits and they feel like me.

Fun

I like to put a twist on some of my outfits. That can be done with shoes, accessories or a mix print! It can be done by acting silly, finding a fun piece of clothing or choose to wear a particular color.

Textured

The last couple of months, I have been drawn to textures! Velvet, leather, faux fur… I want to wear them.

I really have been reaching for pieces that have texture and add interest to my outfits lately and that is probably why so many of my December purchases fit that bill. I love how the textured feel or look of a piece make an outfit special.
