I was never the teenage girl who followed the latest trend - or was even aware of it. While I definitely had a personal style, it’s not one that I would call flattering (oscillating between too mature and too causal). I’ve always been function and comfort above style and *cringe* sometimes even appropriateness.
I still don’t have a lot of confidence in my ability to pull off a finished outfit, but I do have a better understanding of what works for me. I love greys and blues in clothing, but more than colour, I’m attracted to visual textures.
I’m in the process of trying to develop a new personal style - one that feel comfortable to me, yet shows that I care about myself to the rest of the world.
