When I was younger, I had the popular phases: the preppy phase, the 2000s phase, the alternative phase.
Now, most of my time is spent working. My wardrobe has evolved to be:
- 85% work wear - sheath dresses and tops from Calvin Klein, Reiss, or Hobbs. I’m always on the lookout for a nicely cut, structured wool or trench coat or statement heels.
- 10% going out wear - jumpsuits, statement trousers, tailored high waisted shorts, statement tops, basic white t shirt, basic black t shirt.
- 5% work out wear
I’ve gotten rid of a lot of pieces I thought I’d use. For example, I don’t have very casual dresses because I don’t have use for them. I used to buy a lot of wedges for days out but I now wear either heels for work, white sneakers for everyday, or running shoes for working out.
When I was younger I wore baggy T-shirts and jeans most of the time. I typically only wore darker colors.
Without going to far into my life history, I grew up with a shit family, who thinks putting people down is fun, so if I ever wore anything but that, I was relentlessly teased about it. My mother is also the type to put you down to make herself feel better. She has always been in competition with me (at least in her world). So, she used to love to make me buy clothes that just looked horrible on me.
Anyhow, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned how to dress my body type much better, and started branching out into far more “feminine” clothes. Turns out I’m actually pretty stylish, and have a nice body (I know, I’m super modest right?)
In winter I lean toward slim fit jeans, with a nice top, and whatever jacket keeps me warm.
Summer time is game on. I have tons of cute dresses. I lean more toward the kinda boho style, but with form flattering cuts. I LOVE backless dresses when it’s hot out.
