I apologize for the prolonged silence. As it turns out, gut renovations and moving are far more time-consuming and exhausting than I initially anticipated. Even with having moved twice in the past eight years, including an international relocation, I underestimated just how physically and emotionally draining the process would be. Renovations are a whole different beast entirely. Let's just say I'm hoping to avoid another round of this for quite some time—ideally never.
Anyway, here I am again, slowly settling into my new space while anxiously awaiting the arrival of someone to finally set up my internet. It’s becoming somewhat comical at this point.
In the meantime, let’s shift gears and talk about personal style, shall we? Recently, I stumbled upon a copy of Allison Bornstein's book, *Wear It Well*. Her approach to styling resonates deeply with me, especially her insights on defining one's personal style. Allison suggests distilling your style into three words. Here’s how it works:
The first word is practical, representing what your current wardrobe embodies. To identify this word, examine your everyday attire and pinpoint recurring themes. For instance, my word is likely "Classic." However, yours could be "Sporty," "1960s," or "Colorful"—whatever best describes your current aesthetic.
The second word should be aspirational, reflecting where you'd like your style to evolve. For me, this might be "Tailored" or "Elegant," though I’m still weighing my options. Right now, I’m leaning toward "Tailored," but I know these words can—and will—change as I grow. So, I’m not stressing too much about nailing it down immediately.
The third word should evoke emotion, capturing how you wish to feel when dressed. I opted for "Sexy" because I want to feel both attractive and feminine in my outfits. Additionally, "Tailored" and "Classic" can sometimes feel overly formal or stiff, so I aim to balance these styles with something more playful and relaxed.
What makes the Three Words method so enjoyable is experimenting with combining these elements in your wardrobe. Since "Classic" dominates my closet, I focus on incorporating "Tailored" and "Sexy" into my outfits. For example, even if I’m wearing simple jeans—something I've done constantly during the unpacking chaos—I’ll accessorize with tailored pieces like loafers or a blazer and perhaps a classic shirt left slightly undone with a delicate gold necklace peeking through.
Isn’t it fascinating how this framework gives structure to what often feels instinctual? Perhaps it will inspire you, too?
As I continue to unpack and settle into my new life, I remain hopeful that normalcy will return sooner rather than later. Until then, happy styling!
Slip on shoes is super easy for toddlers to wear. They only need to put their feet inside the shoes, without tying the shoes or sticking the velcro. Loafer shoes is also called slip on design as well. Usually we use rubber sole or TPR as outsole for slip on shoes. Do you like it?
