When: Aug. 1 // Weather: 80s // Real life: work
^^This is when I tried to casually cross one leg over the other and then I sort of fell and tried to cover it like it’s what I meant to do all along.
^^Boom. Nailed it.
One of my blogger friends (well, in my head we’re friends…I’ve never met her) posted recently about how we should make personal style about experimenting and having fun, and not just about sticking to a particular aesthetic. Amen, sister, and thanks for the reminder. Sometimes I think at my age I should have a particular look that I stick to, and I feel discouraged when I can’t figure out exactly what that look is. Am I stripes girl? Bright colors girl? Slightly edgy but also girly girl? Should I not call myself “girl” when I’m over 30? I have many unanswered questions.
Lately I’ve been feeling very me in neutral clothes with statement shoes/accessories, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only thing I can wear. At least I hope it isn’t, because I’ve got a closet full of crazy colors and prints that have plenty of life left in them. So for today, this is my personal style. Tomorrow? Who knows…follow my blog so you can find out. 😉

I would certainly consider YOU a friend! We’ve been following each other for what feels like ages, but funny we’ve never met. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one that feels this way. It’s nice being able to change and experiment with new styles when we feel like it. Isn’t that the whole point of personal style blogging anyway – experimentation? Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this too!
