I’m old so I developed my “style” before it was a thing. For serious occasions, a classic style will never ever let you down. For a small town environment, casual is perfect. And finally, I’m somewhat of an old hippie so some boho suits me personally. 🤗🤗🤗
I have a 15-piece wardrobe. My adjectives are sporty, casual, and fun. I don't wear active wear per se, I walk and exercise in tennis/golf dresses. I've lost 85 lbs and was very unsure of my style until I heard the 3 adjective tip. When I shop for the fall, I'll have adjectives to keep me on the path of no bad purchases. Thank you for this informative video!🎉
Great video! I am so not niche and have been conflicted about this.... until this video. I shy away from actually committing to three adjectives for my style because they seem to conflict. Now I can openly say my adjectives are: classic, elegant and bohemian. I have felt like the bohemian side of me doesn't seem to fit into a wardrobe unless I completely commit to just that style. Now I see that they can all three exist in harmony. This makes me feel very relieved as I can freely choose a dress or outfit that is bohemian (and makes me feel wonderful) and not be conflicted. No longer will I worry about others might think of my bohemian side. Flowers and flowy here I come. 😊
Three words for my spring style are classy, romantic, and feminine but style embodies every aspect of my life, so thinking about my personality, and home and garden style my three words are Bunny Williams, English Gardens, C.S.Lewis.
Classic, comfortable, fun! We live on a farm in Oklahoma, and there are days getting dirty is a real thing, which requires more denim! When I'm at my job, I wear more classic pieces. However, I do love flowing comfortable clothing.
Mine are artistic, utilitarian, and natural. I love the handmade pieces in my wardrobe and making eclectic mixes. I also love overalls, jump suits, utility jackets, carpenter/painters pants, etc. this is my Rosie the Riveter side that has a lot of hands on projects. Then there's my outdoor granola girl side that takes on some aspects of cottage core. I love things made out of linen, hand woven headbands, jewelry made from stone or wood (especially if they're made by an artisan, see adjective #1)😊
Great title and thumbnail. And SO TRUE. Some days are sporty and some days are more fancy. Depending on what is needed! My adjectives are athletic, academic and artistic.
I love MANY styles. Classic, elegant, feminine, vintage, cottagecore, fairy, barbiecore... 😱 I manage to use them all. Classic, modest and feminine are my main styles and so I sprinkle a vintage vibe, some pink, etc... and somehow I always feel that my wardrobe is coordinated and everything matches very well. Take pictures and make videos of your outfits are essential to see how you look and improve.
My adjectives have changed a bit as I have contemplated on what I wear most and feel best in as well as a slight change in my lifestyle. My current words are natural, sporty and artistic. I love natural fabrics like linen and cotton and realize I can’t stand being hot in polyester. I love natural colors found in nature. I am also quite sporty and very active all day long so while I don’t want to wear athleisure, I do need to dress in a way that I can always take long walks comfortably and such. I also love an artistic style and especially florals and artistic details. These can overlap but not always.
The timing of this video is so great! I am rediscover my style here over the last year and this makes so much sense to me. For years now I have had a very classic, neutral style. When I was younger I would have been horrified by those clothes. I was very bohemian, feminine with a retro lean. When I started working in the corporate world, I left all those things behind. Even after leaving my career to stay home, and having a very minimal wardrobe, I ignored my tendency to love those other styles. I adopted a very neutral and classic wardrobe because that was easiest. I recently learned I am a Spring color season and although I don’t feel that the season typing is something I would ever follow strictly, it started me down a road of really thinking about what I truly loved and felt drawn to style wise. I trying the words simple, feminine and artistic for this year, although I love the word “free spirited” as well!
Brava Jennifer! You are the best encourager for revisiting and reworking our rail. And I journal . . . “The wonder of fashion is to revisit your rail ( your 10 items ) daily and envision where to take it ( your items ) next.” “Stand back, look at your collection and imagine the combinations that can make your look of the day . . . the looks of your season ahead!” My three words are: Classical • Natural • Imaginative I have some editing and purging to accomplish this weekend. The three words are going to be a best guide. Love, Lynne
Relaxed, Graceful, & Organic I do not enjoy a rigid, tailored fit, although that is lovely on others. I look and feel best in flowing, fluid lines that lean more toward an earthy vibe and less toward ruffles or frills. Color matters too. I feel odd in bubblegum pink, for example...while rosey pink or soft pink are wonderful! This is personal to me.
Casual, comfortable, classy does it for me, Jennifer. I laughed at what you said around 10:06, about trying a new-ish/different item and feeling uncomfortable in it. I donated a dress just yesterday that I tried and tried to like, but couldn't; It just wasn't "me", although it fit well. It felt like a costume! You described it so well here; it was uncomfortable. Thanks for the video validation. You made me feel less like I'd failed by not adopting the look of this dress. I learned more about myself instead :)
I love this realization! I am in a season of life where my body is always changing. And I love jeans and blouses and blazers (more of a casual city look?), but also linen and cotton dresses/ skirts. I like going out, but rarely do as I am a stay at home wife and mom who homesteads. I often find I do not have a certain look and this is so validating! It is okay to like a variety and not stick into a specific style box. In doing that it becomes your style. I had a friend tell me she loves my style and it was the best compliment because I had felt like I didn’t have one. But the mixed styles is my style haha!
This is such a good point! My style is not niche, as I go from Professional Mom mode (meeting my daughter's Braille teacher, doctors, etc), to teacher, to comfortable often! I tend to dress for the occasion.
Soft, feminine and coastal are my three adjectives. I feel like my style is a bit niche. I can tell when I were something and I’m told “ that’s so you”.
This video really hit home with me. I have always struggled with the realization that I'm a chameleon when it comes to my style. I thought it made me seem like an indecisive "wanna be" who didn't really know herself. While I'm drawn to the classic and elegant "old money" look, I also like to experiment with whimsical and unexpected style choices. Thank you for reminding us style chameleons that we should be celebrated for being confident and knowing ourselves well enough to take risks and experiment with our fashion choices.
I'm still working on defining my style into words. I definitely go with cottage girl and greek goddess inspired style. I love it! But there are days where I feel trendy, sharp, sophisticated, and classy. I am most definitely not niche. Lol
Casual, comfortable, simple elegance. These may seem contradictory, but casual comfort can be made more elegant when desired by adding jewelry, or a jacket or sweater. I also prefer sticking to a color palette that suits me better. I admire and appreciate the styles of other women when they have found what works well for them even though it may not be my own style. Loved this video! You look fabulous in your flowy dresses, Jennifer, and everything you wear looks wonderful on you.
Beatiful take on the niche adjective Jennifer. I always thought that niche styling is something that few people wear, like certain less popular brands of clothing or decor, but English is my second language so you learn everyday😊 Well, decided to go beyond niche and experiment with color. Due to my light complexion and hair, and not very prominent facial features, I was considered a pastel girl. Bold colors usually overpower me. But I love decisive palets, like reds, navy, green, royal blues, so here we go, for this spring-summer I decided to go with bold and pastel palette and dare I say😮 to blend them in each outfit. 😁
My adjectives this spring/summer are earthy, beautiful, simple. I love wearing earth tones like browns and greens. Skirts are my "thing" and I wear them whenever I can. Simple comes from the fact that I have discovered I do not like wearing patterns at all! Only solid colors for me. You'd think I would have realized that sooner but it took journaling to figure it out! Thank you for the lovely video and inspiration
I have found that I work best with 3 capsule wardrobes- drawing from 3 aesthetics to create my seasonal wardrobe. The variety is able to provide the spectrum of style that I love to create with creativity of expression. Right now my 3 capsules consist of bohemian, Southwestern/cowgirl, and “granola girl” (lots of earthy, hippie hiking layers). I had to store my vintage and Safari style clothing since having my 5th baby and gaining weight. So my style is pulls between a colorful, feminine bohemian with long layers and Southwest jewelry, or wearing a laid back graphic tee under a button down shirt and linen.
Feminine, soft, vintage. Here we go 😂🤪. I’ve actually been learning a lot about what my style is with MUCH help from your videos, Jennifer! I think I really needed to hear this particular one as I explore this theme. I like that I don’t have to keep the same adjectives for the next season. That feels freeing.
Love this discussion. Certain distinct styles and specific designs have appealed to me for my whole adult life and it used to bother me that there was no real rhyme or reason to what I gravitate to. These designs don’t all fit together. Or why even sometimes I see a garment that aligns with my go-to preferences, but I don’t love it. Like, none of this makes sense on paper. Eventually I realized that’s the beauty of having personal taste. Taste isn’t about checking off a checklist. It’s more creative and intuitive than this. I don’t know my adjectives yet, but I maybe something like edgy (moto jackets; asymmetrical necklines; structured button front or zip front dresses; black lace); vintage feminine (sweetheart and bustier style necklines; retro square necklines and florals); and California casual (love denim; figure flattering blue jeans and a white tee, a woven bag, sneakers or sandals). Other things I’ve always and will always love - eyelet, casuals blazers, 3/4 length sleeves, almond toe shoes, trench coats, a-line midi dresses, bold shades of green, painterly prints… 🙂 It’s REALLY exciting when I see a brand capturing a lot of my favorite looks all in one place. Paige Denim was doing a lot of that when I checked a month or two ago.
I resonate with eras and seasons - spring/ summer, I’m into vintage Italian summer vibes, fall it’s 90’s ish classic .. . @ work I’m a chic minimalist… the 3 don’t overlap much - a little in fall / winter … but really 3 distinct wardrobes 😮
This is wonderful news! Ive always been unable to pin down my style, because I would end up with different styles in my closet! But they were items I enjoyed wearing! Great to hear there is such a way to curate my wardrobe-without trying to put my clothing style in a box! Thanks for your insight!
My 3 words are relaxed, retro, and romantic and I don’t think my wardrobe is very niche. I have a small farm and work from home so most days I just want to be comfortable and feminine with some pieces thrown in inspired by my love of 60s and 90s fashion
This is such an interesting topic, Jennifer! I have been doing the ten item wardrobe for 10 years now (I love it!) and I have had the same realization as you've had. I'm definitely not niche and I have allowed myself to express that over the past few years. My 3 adjectives for this summer are cottagecore, boho and colourful.
My three words to describe me and my style is classic, feminine and unique. Classic because I particularly don't care for trends. Feminine because I like looking like a lady. Unique because I want to be original in my own style.
This really resonates with me as I have never been able to choose just one style. However I feel all my clothes reveal something about my personality. My three words are ladylike, nostalgic and creative. I make most of my own clothes so they are one of a kind and not niche at all.
Happy, fresh and elegant are my 3 style defining adjectives. Love this method, I find this very helpful in maintaining a wardrobe and buying new items. Thank you ❤
You come up with some great insides, Jennifer! I was struggling with this for years, without realising it. I mostly like classic and simple but sometimes I also love fuchsia pink or garden fairy dresses and I now realise that I was trying to suppress the more adventures side, to fit into the classic category and to have a matching wardrobe. Thank you so much for this video. I shall journal on this discovery tomorrow!
I feel like my adjectives haven't changed in a long time. Classic, feminine, understated. If allowed a 4th I'd say comfortable. I don't think I'm niche becuase I like to wear trousers with a ruffled floral blouse to work as well as maxi dresses. As long as the overall esthetic is feminine and classy (to me, anyway) I'm happy.
I've always been classic, elegant and chic, but recently I've purchased 3 very different dresses than I've ever had.. one is an empire waist with a flowy ruffle dress-- i LOVE it- and get compliments on it🤔🤔 the other is a halter dress a la Lilly Pulitzer-- that i LOVE.. so this video came at a perfect time for me... that it can be both. xoxo Stacie
I think I need a journaling about your style workbook or journal prompts before I can actually journal about my style. Maybe part of it is, "who actually am I", since it's impossible to select adjectives without thinking about yourself, your personal character, how you come across. But for me, the struggle is that I have 3 different clothing situations: clothes at work, casual clothes after work and on weekends, and workout gear. I realize that ideally a lot of people on here would just have clothes and not separate work clothes and home clothes, but I usually change after work and I don't bother wearing work clothes on the weekend! Is this a Daily connoisseur cry for help? ;)
Wow, today’s video was so timely and relatable. I was shopping online Sunday, looking for some new summer pieces to replace some wardrobe items, and so many of my thoughts were reflected in your statements. I often utilize the “wish list” feature in an online shop as I gather favorites from what is offered. In narrowing down my choices, I could really see a wide range in my preferences. Your video gave my own subconscious impressions, weight and direction. Thanks Jennifer! You really are a kindred spirit, in sync and spot on.❤
This has been on my mind lately. My words are sporty, colorful, and free spirited. I realize now I’ve tried so hard to fight against either sporty or free spirited to have a more cohesive wardrobe. This made me realize I need to accept that I have intricate tastes that aren’t always “niche.” Great video!
Great video! This explains so much for me. I love colorful, flowing and whimsical clothes - on others!! But for me it’s classic, tailored and neutral. I just relearned this after buying a $300 dress, wearing it once, being uncomfortable and deciding not to wear it again. In the same weekend I wore white tailored dress slacks and a lovely neutral colored sweater set with pearls. Ahhh! This is me!
My true style is also not niche. I love to feel feminine and flowy, but with an edgy twist. So it might be a patterned maxi dress with black gun metal accessories, or a feminine top with black jeans and leopard print flats. I like dressing up an edgier style, you can have a lot of fun with it - there are no rules here!
I’m definitely not niche and want to spend time thinking about my three words to describe my style. I love my vintage leather jacket, my straight leg jeans, my pink ballet flats, my novelty print dresses, and I would love a pair of Doc Martins. There are days I love to dress more dark and edgy and other days more romantic and feminine. But I always love to feel like my style exudes fun and I think a part of me wants to be more bold. So maybe my style is fun, eclectic, and bold.
I'm finding my style again after coming out of the postpartum period where I got lazy with all the comfy leggings! After pondering this and thinking about what I want my style to be in this season of life, especially looking toward the summer months, my adjectives are casual-elegance, relaxed, and edwardian. I want to elevate my current mom outfit to nicer bottoms and tops with classic understated jewelry as well as keeping my girly tendencies of lace, florals, and flowy dresses. Relaxed is partly about style and wearing things a little less structured, but it's mainly about my mindset of not being too hard on myself about wearing the perfect outfit or not being able to wear something because of my postpartum body.
Woah are those flowers…roses? Show stoppers. I think I have the same 3 adjectives, but I was just thinking my favorite outfit is 💯 cottage core. So maybe I have a 4th adjective Unless it is an Adam Sandler kind of day
"You don't have to name your style to attain your style" Myquillen Smith, House Rules. Sounds like this video! Just found this quote today after watching yesterday!
This is such a timely video! I feel the pull toward more colorful pieces and wanting to add the word “artist” to my list of style words❤ but I also have been hiking more and have a vacation to Belize that will need some more athletic style clothes too. I’ve been struggling with the right clothes for that trip- I realized I boxed myself in with my everyday words and I need to be flexible if some of my clothes are different for more strenuous exercise outside!
I love that you mention this! I’ve had so much trouble narrowing down my wardrobe because I have different styles that I really love but those aren’t easily mixed and matched! Some days I feel more classic and other days, particularly in the warmer months I feel more bohemian and carefree. I have a very short pixie cut so I have fixed nice hair days for classy clothing and then other days I let my pixie cut be a little wavy and care free and dress more relaxed. I’m thinking I may have a “capsule” for each style I really enjoy ❤
I love the idea of journaling to find my 3 adjectives. I think I might also go through my wardrobe and see if I can describe each piece’s style in one or two adjectives, esp fave pieces. It could show repetition in certain words and help me find my 3. And yes, mine prob change a bit depending on the season.
I’ve never truly evaluated my style, but my workplace is introducing a new dress code (it’s got flexibility luckily), and it’s really got me pondering on what suits me and makes me feel ‘me’ - your adjectives idea is genius! I’m going for classy, feminine and ethereal 😊 thanks Jennifer! 🌸
Great video. I’m transitioning from work to retirement. I’m generally classic preppy, but I see some boho in my future. As I transition I’m going to journal and see if some new style enters my life.
Hello Jennifer, My style continues to be preppy, romantic and gardener-gets-very-dirty in summer style. 😅 Again, this seems to be a classic Ralph Lauren coastal girl.
Great video, Jennifer! My current adjectives are classic, casual, and edgy. I live in an extremely casual place and stay home with my kids, so I’ve found casual to be a necessity. But I get bored with that sometimes, so adding elements of classic and edgy keep things feeling more “me”. If I could add a fourth it would be literary… I like to wear book-inspired tops and accessories to keep things fun. I suppose that last one would be niche!
This is so helpful! I love a good classic dress and pearls, but also enjoy flowy maxis and strappy sandals. I'm excited to be moving to South America soon, where I will be able to enjoy the more summery styles again!
I think my style is pretty niche, but I do like to mix it up occasionally. Summer is HOT where I live, so my style shifts from very tailored and layered, to more breezy and casual. I wear linen year round, with skirts tailored in the Edwardian style and tops that are embellished with embroidery and lace. The flip side of my style personality is very preppy... I always have a breton stripe shirt of some variety and a pair of slim black cropped pants on hand, as well as a little black dress.
Thank you, I enjoyed this! My adjectives are: romantic, timeless and a hint of surprise. 😊 I’m a harpist, so I love wearing long, flowing dresses, pearls, a gold watch, and perhaps some fun shoes, trendy white leather boots or red heels, and I wear a brown leather jacket through the cold months. A little something unexpected and fun to mix up the old-soul. 😊
Classic, Light, and Airy, were my three this season. I love the vintage 40's /50's look, but I also wanted to leave room for flexibility,(Airy) since those silhouettes tend to be rather structured and I also like things to feel free and flowy from time to time, (especially when it's hot outside). Somehow, I've managed to get pieces that go on either side of the spectrum and also blend well together in the middle when I combine them. I've never enjoyed working with my wardrobe so much before and I have you and your work to thank for that 🙏❤
Wow, I really did not expect to be quoted in one of your videos! 😮 Thank you so much! ❤ My three adjectives are classic - casual - whimsical (I actually took inspiration for the latter from you and fits me so well). I might experiment with more romantic or feminine pieces in the future and see how that goes. 😊 Edit: So, my style is also not niche at all. This might be why I was not happy when I tried to only want to stick to one style only. Only classic was too formal for my lifestyle for example. Only retro/vintage (as my username suggests I had a 50s/60s/Audrey Hepburn inspired phase) felt too costumey.
Hi Jennifer! You are a born teacher! What a thoughtful video! Thank you! So, I am NOT niche. As I have shared with you, I struggle with what I am "suppose'' to wear as a 59 year old, and the clothes I WANT to wear! (Your support has been so important to me, and I really appreciate it!) I enjoy fashion but also find myself inhibited by my age. Plus, some of the clothes I like are not a good fit for my body shape and lifestyle. So that's annoying, haha! Anyway, I plan on continuing to work on my inhibitions. Also, your hair is darling!! Did you cut it? See you tomorrow! With love, Kellie
This was so engaging! It was helpful because I am also drawn to both “elegant” and “bohemian” styles. The testimonial you shared at the end was accurate for my experience with the ten-item wardrobe, as well. 👍😊
Interesting video-I’ll have to give this topic more thought! I love your channel and have been a subscriber for years. But I want to mention that I will not be purchasing Ritual products because the company doesn’t align with my values. Their new ad campaign has a commercial that insinuates profanity, which I believe to be inappropriate.
After seeing your black duster cardigan in one of your videos i found something similar in charcoal to add to my wardrobe and there is a midlength black warm pleated skirt i found while shopping which will be perfect for me for winter with boots. I'm an Australian,we r about to head into winter. So sorry about all the seperate comments but each time i sign off i think of something else to say. 😊
You can be Madame Chic Bohemienne. :) I've realized that I love a few different styles and that I don't always want to dress the same way. Sometimes I feel chic and classic, sometimes country (ranch style, jeans, boots), sometimes more sexy and bold (leather jacket and cool boots), and it depends on what mood I'm in and where I am (office, barn, running around on the weekend, going out). I love being versatile and expressing various parts of myself. In Dressing Your Truth, I discovered that I'm a Type 3 primary (rich and dynamic) and Type 4 secondary (classic, chic) through analysis of my energy and how I do things (keep lists, get distracted and have several tasks going on at once, more direct and like to take action and get things done).
What a thought provoking video. Several years ago I decided I wanted to have my wardrobe to reflect the words Feminine and Exotic. It still is feminine but is exotic still relevant? I will have to ponder this.
Very interesting take on a subject I've mulled over a lot... a lot! As a teacher, I found having a consistent (niche) style offered my students some comfort and created less of a distraction. It also brought me clarity and simplicity. These days I feel the same way with my grandchildren. I want them to say, " Oh, I remember how my MaMa always wore ..." All that said, I do have trouble committing to a style. I trust someday it will come to me like Emily Dickinson and her ubiquitous white dresses!
Hi Jennifer! I think you ARE niche, in the best sense, and I think it is totally your own ---- "playful elegance" I see your whimsy and boho spirit weave its way in. ❤ My three words this spring/summer are glamorous, effortless, spontaneous (meaning day to night and ready for any adventure... within reason and footwear permitting 😅) I am not niche but love niche elements such as vintage.
Jennifer, I also have a question: do you find that you are “niche” during certain seasons? I ask because I find myself very “beachy linen flowy colorful” during the hot summer months, but I am NOT that way during the winter. In fact, I think if I lived in the North during the summer I would not wear what I wear now in the American South. Do you think that climate/ geographical place affects style? Do you think that your style is slightly different because you live in California that it would be if you lived in Michigan, for example? I’m curious about your opinions on the crossover between self-expression and practical/ environmental limits.
I completely relate as a NE girl living closed to beach, but spending last few summers(work related) in Florida. Two completely different ball games😳, even for summers.
My adjectives for delayed warmer weather in MA are classic/vintage, romantic and versatile...as I need to switch from walking a golden retriever in the rain , working out (and in), yard work and cold, windy days, to put-together, touch of romance and ready to switch in a moment. (I also feel i have a rocker, edgier side as well.) I am ultra confused on what my adjectives really should be and my desires for how i want to dress don't fit my reality a lot of the time....how to???? p.s.Can you tell I'm a libra??...decision making is not my strong point and my closet shows it.🙃😄
Since I have lost a significant amount of weight, I struggled with my adjectives! It seems choosing Categories is more appropriate! My work wardrobe needs pockets, Going “out” is a different category and I’m embracing No Style when I’m home, as I live alone! Of course all need honing, since I walked out of a pair of jeans 🤣 early this week! (Yes they were zipped & button! Thankfully I was home!) I have a large variety of white tops & blouses, since they coordinate with the majority of bottoms! Maybe that’s Classic?! Flow state may evolve over time! Loved 🥰 this video, as I watch my Donate Pile grow! 🦋😊
I feel like somewhat of a chameleon and this video was very encouraging. I do a lot of gardening and I also watch my 2 1/2 year old grandson so I need simplicity, comfort and ease of movement, but I like to look good whatever I’m doing. So my adjectives would be simple, unencumbered and classy. Simplicity is an adjective I’m using for the whole year.
Having developed sunsensitivity, and still wanting to garden, I feel like a cartoon of a little garden lady in my big sunhat,long sleeves, longpants, and garden gloves. I found large cotton striped men's shirts work well, so achieved a classic sporty look. After gardening, i tend to wear dresses and flowing things. So for summer: sporty, classic, romantic.
I hope you enjoyed today's video! Thank you to Ritual for sponsoring. Get 25% OFF your first month Go to ritual.com/dailyc25 I would love to know... Do you consider your style to be niche or not? Let us know in the comments. Thank you for watching! Love, Jennifer
I’m old so I developed my “style” before it was a thing. For serious occasions, a classic style will never ever let you down. For a small town environment, casual is perfect. And finally, I’m somewhat of an old hippie so some boho suits me personally. 🤗🤗🤗
Your answer sums up my style: classic for dressier occasions, and as an old hippie myself, boho is the style I choose most of the time! 😊😊
I’ve found my style is different depending on the season. In fall and winter I’m more structured/classic. In spring and summer I’m more bohemian.
Same! In spring and summer I wear dresses everyday and am more boho and in the fall and winter I’m more classic.
@@jaimezuniga4702 same here!
I have a 15-piece wardrobe. My adjectives are sporty, casual, and fun. I don't wear active wear per se, I walk and exercise in tennis/golf dresses. I've lost 85 lbs and was very unsure of my style until I heard the 3 adjective tip. When I shop for the fall, I'll have adjectives to keep me on the path of no bad purchases. Thank you for this informative video!🎉
I too love tennis dresses with the built in shorts!
@kellyrainey1666 the only way!
Congratulations on your weight loss.
Congrats 🎈 on the weight loss! I’m planning to TRY 3 adjectives for Fall 2024!
@rrhines3151 it was hard to pick my 3. I'm not crazy about "fun". I'm thinking, what is an adjective for feminine sporty?
Great video! I am so not niche and have been conflicted about this.... until this video. I shy away from actually committing to three adjectives for my style because they seem to conflict. Now I can openly say my adjectives are: classic, elegant and bohemian. I have felt like the bohemian side of me doesn't seem to fit into a wardrobe unless I completely commit to just that style. Now I see that they can all three exist in harmony. This makes me feel very relieved as I can freely choose a dress or outfit that is bohemian (and makes me feel wonderful) and not be conflicted. No longer will I worry about others might think of my bohemian side. Flowers and flowy here I come. 😊
Allison Bornstein, who came up with the 3-word idea, says that words which seem to conflict are not a bad thing - don't worry about it!
For spring/summer, my three adjectives are Breezy, Cheerful, and Effortless ❤
Great adjectives!
One of my words is unencumbered but I like effortless better!
Three words for my spring style are classy, romantic, and feminine but style embodies every aspect of my life, so thinking about my personality, and home and garden style my three words are Bunny Williams, English Gardens, C.S.Lewis.
Classic, comfortable, fun! We live on a farm in Oklahoma, and there are days getting dirty is a real thing, which requires more denim! When I'm at my job, I wear more classic pieces. However, I do love flowing comfortable clothing.
Mine are artistic, utilitarian, and natural. I love the handmade pieces in my wardrobe and making eclectic mixes. I also love overalls, jump suits, utility jackets, carpenter/painters pants, etc. this is my Rosie the Riveter side that has a lot of hands on projects. Then there's my outdoor granola girl side that takes on some aspects of cottage core. I love things made out of linen, hand woven headbands, jewelry made from stone or wood (especially if they're made by an artisan, see adjective #1)😊
I donated all my linen because I h8 ironing😅
Besides that, we're Twins!
I wear what makes me feel beautiful and classy
Mine are Classic, Tailored and Comfortable. I love to feel comfortable in whatever I am wearing.
Great title and thumbnail. And SO TRUE. Some days are sporty and some days are more fancy. Depending on what is needed! My adjectives are athletic, academic and artistic.
I would say I'm classic, chic, and sleek. I would consider my style niche. This is my comfort zone.
I love MANY styles. Classic, elegant, feminine, vintage, cottagecore, fairy, barbiecore... 😱
I manage to use them all. Classic, modest and feminine are my main styles and so I sprinkle a vintage vibe, some pink, etc... and somehow I always feel that my wardrobe is coordinated and everything matches very well.
Take pictures and make videos of your outfits are essential to see how you look and improve.
My adjectives have changed a bit as I have contemplated on what I wear most and feel best in as well as a slight change in my lifestyle. My current words are natural, sporty and artistic. I love natural fabrics like linen and cotton and realize I can’t stand being hot in polyester. I love natural colors found in nature. I am also quite sporty and very active all day long so while I don’t want to wear athleisure, I do need to dress in a way that I can always take long walks comfortably and such. I also love an artistic style and especially florals and artistic details. These can overlap but not always.
No matter how I try to get a better wardrobe, I am a sporty woman at heart. I love to dress up but jeans and a sweater are my best look.
The timing of this video is so great! I am rediscover my style here over the last year and this makes so much sense to me.
For years now I have had a very classic, neutral style. When I was younger I would have been horrified by those clothes. I was very bohemian, feminine with a retro lean. When I started working in the corporate world, I left all those things behind. Even after leaving my career to stay home, and having a very minimal wardrobe, I ignored my tendency to love those other styles. I adopted a very neutral and classic wardrobe because that was easiest.
I recently learned I am a Spring color season and although I don’t feel that the season typing is something I would ever follow strictly, it started me down a road of really thinking about what I truly loved and felt drawn to style wise. I trying the words simple, feminine and artistic for this year, although I love the word “free spirited” as well!
Brava Jennifer!
You are the best encourager for revisiting and reworking our rail.
And I journal . . .
“The wonder of fashion is to revisit your rail ( your 10 items ) daily and envision where to take it ( your items ) next.”
“Stand back, look at your collection and imagine the combinations that can make your
look of the day . . . the looks of your season ahead!”
My three words are:
Classical • Natural • Imaginative
I have some editing and purging to accomplish this weekend. The three words are going to be a best guide.
Love,
Lynne
I love your adjectives, Lynne!
Relaxed, Graceful, & Organic
I do not enjoy a rigid, tailored fit, although that is lovely on others. I look and feel best in flowing, fluid lines that lean more toward an earthy vibe and less toward ruffles or frills. Color matters too. I feel odd in bubblegum pink, for example...while rosey pink or soft pink are wonderful! This is personal to me.
Casual, comfortable, classy does it for me, Jennifer. I laughed at what you said around 10:06, about trying a new-ish/different item and feeling uncomfortable in it. I donated a dress just yesterday that I tried and tried to like, but couldn't; It just wasn't "me", although it fit well. It felt like a costume! You described it so well here; it was uncomfortable. Thanks for the video validation. You made me feel less like I'd failed by not adopting the look of this dress. I learned more about myself instead :)
I love this realization! I am in a season of life where my body is always changing. And I love jeans and blouses and blazers (more of a casual city look?), but also linen and cotton dresses/ skirts. I like going out, but rarely do as I am a stay at home wife and mom who homesteads. I often find I do not have a certain look and this is so validating! It is okay to like a variety and not stick into a specific style box. In doing that it becomes your style. I had a friend tell me she loves my style and it was the best compliment because I had felt like I didn’t have one. But the mixed styles is my style haha!
This is such a good point! My style is not niche, as I go from Professional Mom mode (meeting my daughter's Braille teacher, doctors, etc), to teacher, to comfortable often! I tend to dress for the occasion.
Soft, feminine and coastal are my three adjectives. I feel like my style is a bit niche. I can tell when I were something and I’m told “ that’s so you”.
This video really hit home with me. I have always struggled with the realization that I'm a chameleon when it comes to my style. I thought it made me seem like an indecisive "wanna be" who didn't really know herself. While I'm drawn to the classic and elegant "old money" look, I also like to experiment with whimsical and unexpected style choices. Thank you for reminding us style chameleons that we should be celebrated for being confident and knowing ourselves well enough to take risks and experiment with our fashion choices.
I'm still working on defining my style into words. I definitely go with cottage girl and greek goddess inspired style. I love it! But there are days where I feel trendy, sharp, sophisticated, and classy. I am most definitely not niche. Lol
Yes, your style is not niche. Haha. I love it!
Casual, comfortable, simple elegance. These may seem contradictory, but casual comfort can be made more elegant when desired by adding jewelry, or a jacket or sweater. I also prefer sticking to a color palette that suits me better. I admire and appreciate the styles of other women when they have found what works well for them even though it may not be my own style. Loved this video! You look fabulous in your flowy dresses, Jennifer, and everything you wear looks wonderful on you.
Oh thank you- I had casual and comfortable but was struggling to name my 3rd word - you nailed it
@@isles8387 I was, too! I struggled trying to find a word to express it. Haha!
Fun, vintage, comfortable ❤ ❤️❤️love the video
Beatiful take on the niche adjective Jennifer. I always thought that niche styling is something that few people wear, like certain less popular brands of clothing or decor, but English is my second language so you learn everyday😊 Well, decided to go beyond niche and experiment with color. Due to my light complexion and hair, and not very prominent facial features, I was considered a pastel girl. Bold colors usually overpower me. But I love decisive palets, like reds, navy, green, royal blues, so here we go, for this spring-summer I decided to go with bold and pastel palette and dare I say😮 to blend them in each outfit. 😁
My adjectives this spring/summer are earthy, beautiful, simple.
I love wearing earth tones like browns and greens. Skirts are my "thing" and I wear them whenever I can. Simple comes from the fact that I have discovered I do not like wearing patterns at all! Only solid colors for me. You'd think I would have realized that sooner but it took journaling to figure it out!
Thank you for the lovely video and inspiration
i LOVE to wear black. black, blacker & blackest. it makes me feel edgy!
I love black, but especially in the summer. I love black linen with brown or tan accents (think cognac sandals, straw hat and bag)!
My style involves a basic palette of black on which I layer pattens and colors in scarves, handbags, and shoes. Oh yes, and my jeans jacket..
I am niche. Midi dress with pockets, short sleeves and a slight V-neckline with a cardigan.
My 3 adjectives would have to be romantic, feminine, and flowy.
A line skirts, fit and flare flowy dresses. Feminine colors/patterns for tops. Etc.
I have found that I work best with 3 capsule wardrobes- drawing from 3 aesthetics to create my seasonal wardrobe. The variety is able to provide the spectrum of style that I love to create with creativity of expression.
Right now my 3 capsules consist of bohemian, Southwestern/cowgirl, and “granola girl” (lots of earthy, hippie hiking layers). I had to store my vintage and Safari style clothing since having my 5th baby and gaining weight. So my style is pulls between a colorful, feminine bohemian with long layers and Southwest jewelry, or wearing a laid back graphic tee under a button down shirt and linen.
Feminine, soft, vintage.
Here we go 😂🤪. I’ve actually been learning a lot about what my style is with MUCH help from your videos, Jennifer! I think I really needed to hear this particular one as I explore this theme. I like that I don’t have to keep the same adjectives for the next season. That feels freeing.
Love this discussion. Certain distinct styles and specific designs have appealed to me for my whole adult life and it used to bother me that there was no real rhyme or reason to what I gravitate to. These designs don’t all fit together. Or why even sometimes I see a garment that aligns with my go-to preferences, but I don’t love it. Like, none of this makes sense on paper. Eventually I realized that’s the beauty of having personal taste. Taste isn’t about checking off a checklist. It’s more creative and intuitive than this.
I don’t know my adjectives yet, but I maybe something like edgy (moto jackets; asymmetrical necklines; structured button front or zip front dresses; black lace); vintage feminine (sweetheart and bustier style necklines; retro square necklines and florals); and California casual (love denim; figure flattering blue jeans and a white tee, a woven bag, sneakers or sandals). Other things I’ve always and will always love - eyelet, casuals blazers, 3/4 length sleeves, almond toe shoes, trench coats, a-line midi dresses, bold shades of green, painterly prints… 🙂
It’s REALLY exciting when I see a brand capturing a lot of my favorite looks all in one place. Paige Denim was doing a lot of that when I checked a month or two ago.
Feminine, classy and edgy! Thanks, Jennifer!
I resonate with eras and seasons - spring/ summer, I’m into vintage Italian summer vibes, fall it’s 90’s ish classic .. . @ work I’m a chic minimalist… the 3 don’t overlap much - a little in fall / winter … but really 3 distinct wardrobes 😮
Classic, feminine, comfortable
This is wonderful news! Ive always been unable to pin down my style, because I would end up with different styles in my closet! But they were items I enjoyed wearing!
Great to hear there is such a way to curate my wardrobe-without trying to put my clothing style in a box!
Thanks for your insight!
My 3 words are relaxed, retro, and romantic and I don’t think my wardrobe is very niche. I have a small farm and work from home so most days I just want to be comfortable and feminine with some pieces thrown in inspired by my love of 60s and 90s fashion
This is such an interesting topic, Jennifer! I have been doing the ten item wardrobe for 10 years now (I love it!) and I have had the same realization as you've had. I'm definitely not niche and I have allowed myself to express that over the past few years. My 3 adjectives for this summer are cottagecore, boho and colourful.
My three words to describe me and my style is classic, feminine and unique. Classic because I particularly don't care for trends. Feminine because I like looking like a lady. Unique because I want to be original in my own style.
This really resonates with me as I have never been able to choose just one style. However I feel all my clothes reveal something about my personality. My three words are ladylike, nostalgic and creative. I make most of my own clothes so they are one of a kind and not niche at all.
Happy, fresh and elegant are my 3 style defining adjectives. Love this method, I find this very helpful in maintaining a wardrobe and buying new items. Thank you ❤
You come up with some great insides, Jennifer! I was struggling with this for years, without realising it. I mostly like classic and simple but sometimes I also love fuchsia pink or garden fairy dresses and I now realise that I was trying to suppress the more adventures side, to fit into the classic category and to have a matching wardrobe. Thank you so much for this video. I shall journal on this discovery tomorrow!
I feel like my adjectives haven't changed in a long time. Classic, feminine, understated. If allowed a 4th I'd say comfortable. I don't think I'm niche becuase I like to wear trousers with a ruffled floral blouse to work as well as maxi dresses. As long as the overall esthetic is feminine and classy (to me, anyway) I'm happy.
I've always been classic, elegant and chic, but recently I've purchased 3 very different dresses than I've ever had.. one is an empire waist with a flowy ruffle dress-- i LOVE it- and get compliments on it🤔🤔 the other is a halter dress a la Lilly Pulitzer-- that i LOVE.. so this video came at a perfect time for me... that it can be both. xoxo Stacie
I think I need a journaling about your style workbook or journal prompts before I can actually journal about my style. Maybe part of it is, "who actually am I", since it's impossible to select adjectives without thinking about yourself, your personal character, how you come across. But for me, the struggle is that I have 3 different clothing situations: clothes at work, casual clothes after work and on weekends, and workout gear. I realize that ideally a lot of people on here would just have clothes and not separate work clothes and home clothes, but I usually change after work and I don't bother wearing work clothes on the weekend! Is this a Daily connoisseur cry for help? ;)
Wow, today’s video was so timely and relatable. I was shopping online Sunday, looking for some new summer pieces to replace some wardrobe items, and so many of my thoughts were reflected in your statements. I often utilize the “wish list” feature in an online shop as I gather favorites from what is offered. In narrowing down my choices, I could really see a wide range in my preferences. Your video gave my own subconscious impressions, weight and direction. Thanks Jennifer! You really are a kindred spirit, in sync and spot on.❤
This has been on my mind lately. My words are sporty, colorful, and free spirited. I realize now I’ve tried so hard to fight against either sporty or free spirited to have a more cohesive wardrobe. This made me realize I need to accept that I have intricate tastes that aren’t always “niche.” Great video!
I recommend checking the kibbe body types & the style essences to see how one looks best.
Great video! This explains so much for me. I love colorful, flowing and whimsical clothes - on others!! But for me it’s classic, tailored and neutral. I just relearned this after buying a $300 dress, wearing it once, being uncomfortable and deciding not to wear it again. In the same weekend I wore white tailored dress slacks and a lovely neutral colored sweater set with pearls. Ahhh! This is me!
My true style is also not niche. I love to feel feminine and flowy, but with an edgy twist. So it might be a patterned maxi dress with black gun metal accessories, or a feminine top with black jeans and leopard print flats. I like dressing up an edgier style, you can have a lot of fun with it - there are no rules here!
I’m definitely not niche and want to spend time thinking about my three words to describe my style. I love my vintage leather jacket, my straight leg jeans, my pink ballet flats, my novelty print dresses, and I would love a pair of Doc Martins. There are days I love to dress more dark and edgy and other days more romantic and feminine. But I always love to feel like my style exudes fun and I think a part of me wants to be more bold. So maybe my style is fun, eclectic, and bold.
This is really insightful. I’ll bet a lot of people are like this but have never been able to put their finger on it.
I'm finding my style again after coming out of the postpartum period where I got lazy with all the comfy leggings! After pondering this and thinking about what I want my style to be in this season of life, especially looking toward the summer months, my adjectives are casual-elegance, relaxed, and edwardian. I want to elevate my current mom outfit to nicer bottoms and tops with classic understated jewelry as well as keeping my girly tendencies of lace, florals, and flowy dresses. Relaxed is partly about style and wearing things a little less structured, but it's mainly about my mindset of not being too hard on myself about wearing the perfect outfit or not being able to wear something because of my postpartum body.
Woah are those flowers…roses? Show stoppers.
I think I have the same 3 adjectives, but I was just thinking my favorite outfit is 💯 cottage core. So maybe I have a 4th adjective
Unless it is an Adam Sandler kind of day
"You don't have to name your style to attain your style" Myquillen Smith, House Rules. Sounds like this video! Just found this quote today after watching yesterday!
This is such a timely video! I feel the pull toward more colorful pieces and wanting to add the word “artist” to my list of style words❤ but I also have been hiking more and have a vacation to Belize that will need some more athletic style clothes too. I’ve been struggling with the right clothes for that trip- I realized I boxed myself in with my everyday words and I need to be flexible if some of my clothes are different for more strenuous exercise outside!
Flexibility is key! And I love "artist" for you.
I love that you mention this! I’ve had so much trouble narrowing down my wardrobe because I have different styles that I really love but those aren’t easily mixed and matched! Some days I feel more classic and other days, particularly in the warmer months I feel more bohemian and carefree. I have a very short pixie cut so I have fixed nice hair days for classy clothing and then other days I let my pixie cut be a little wavy and care free and dress more relaxed. I’m thinking I may have a “capsule” for each style I really enjoy ❤
I'm choosing classic, breezy and calming.
That is definitely me! Elegant, Edgy and Free Spirited. I enjoy experimenting with fashion. Great topic 💃
I love the idea of journaling to find my 3 adjectives. I think I might also go through my wardrobe and see if I can describe each piece’s style in one or two adjectives, esp fave pieces. It could show repetition in certain words and help me find my 3. And yes, mine prob change a bit depending on the season.
I’ve never truly evaluated my style, but my workplace is introducing a new dress code (it’s got flexibility luckily), and it’s really got me pondering on what suits me and makes me feel ‘me’ - your adjectives idea is genius! I’m going for classy, feminine and ethereal 😊 thanks Jennifer! 🌸
Structured, classic, comfortable . My bonus word is Autumnal.
Great video. I’m transitioning from work to retirement. I’m generally classic preppy, but I see some boho in my future. As I transition I’m going to journal and see if some new style enters my life.
Hello Jennifer, My style continues to be preppy, romantic and gardener-gets-very-dirty in summer style. 😅 Again, this seems to be a classic Ralph Lauren coastal girl.
As a fellow gardener, “dirt-under-my-polished-nails” is a constant! 😅
This is a great video. This season I am embracing myself more and allowing myself to embody a more feminine, sensual and happy style
Great video, Jennifer! My current adjectives are classic, casual, and edgy. I live in an extremely casual place and stay home with my kids, so I’ve found casual to be a necessity. But I get bored with that sometimes, so adding elements of classic and edgy keep things feeling more “me”. If I could add a fourth it would be literary… I like to wear book-inspired tops and accessories to keep things fun. I suppose that last one would be niche!
This is so helpful! I love a good classic dress and pearls, but also enjoy flowy maxis and strappy sandals. I'm excited to be moving to South America soon, where I will be able to enjoy the more summery styles again!
I guess maybe the challenge is incorporating both styles into a cohesive wardrobe!
Oh Jennifer thank you! The Maxi dress example was so true for me!
What a great video! I love your wardrobe system and I loved how you creatively came up with this cool words to describe aspects of yourself
My three adjectives are feminine, comfortable , and colorful.
Where is the white dress from at 11:53 ?
I think my style is pretty niche, but I do like to mix it up occasionally. Summer is HOT where I live, so my style shifts from very tailored and layered, to more breezy and casual. I wear linen year round, with skirts tailored in the Edwardian style and tops that are embellished with embroidery and lace. The flip side of my style personality is very preppy... I always have a breton stripe shirt of some variety and a pair of slim black cropped pants on hand, as well as a little black dress.
Thank you, I enjoyed this!
My adjectives are: romantic, timeless and a hint of surprise. 😊 I’m a harpist, so I love wearing long, flowing dresses, pearls, a gold watch, and perhaps some fun shoes, trendy white leather boots or red heels, and I wear a brown leather jacket through the cold months. A little something unexpected and fun to mix up the old-soul. 😊
Classic, Light, and Airy, were my three this season. I love the vintage 40's /50's look, but I also wanted to leave room for flexibility,(Airy) since those silhouettes tend to be rather structured and I also like things to feel free and flowy from time to time, (especially when it's hot outside). Somehow, I've managed to get pieces that go on either side of the spectrum and also blend well together in the middle when I combine them. I've never enjoyed working with my wardrobe so much before and I have you and your work to thank for that 🙏❤
Wow, I really did not expect to be quoted in one of your videos! 😮 Thank you so much! ❤
My three adjectives are classic - casual - whimsical (I actually took inspiration for the latter from you and fits me so well). I might experiment with more romantic or feminine pieces in the future and see how that goes. 😊
Edit: So, my style is also not niche at all. This might be why I was not happy when I tried to only want to stick to one style only. Only classic was too formal for my lifestyle for example. Only retro/vintage (as my username suggests I had a 50s/60s/Audrey Hepburn inspired phase) felt too costumey.
Classic outdoorsy coastal with a little bit of Star Trek
Hi Jennifer! You are a born teacher! What a thoughtful video! Thank you! So, I am NOT niche. As I have shared with you, I struggle with what I am "suppose'' to wear as a 59 year old, and the clothes I WANT to wear! (Your support has been so important to me, and I really appreciate it!) I enjoy fashion but also find myself inhibited by my age. Plus, some of the clothes I like are not a good fit for my body shape and lifestyle. So that's annoying, haha! Anyway, I plan on continuing to work on my inhibitions. Also, your hair is darling!! Did you cut it? See you tomorrow! With love, Kellie
Elegant, unique, and bright are my current additives. 😊
This was so engaging! It was helpful because I am also drawn to both “elegant” and “bohemian” styles. The testimonial you shared at the end was accurate for my experience with the ten-item wardrobe, as well. 👍😊
I think most women look good in 2-3 styles. Mine are classical & spot (the sport style is all straight lines, like the classical).
Interesting video-I’ll have to give this topic more thought! I love your channel and have been a subscriber for years. But I want to mention that I will not be purchasing Ritual products because the company doesn’t align with my values. Their new ad campaign has a commercial that insinuates profanity, which I believe to be inappropriate.
Yes, profanity is not chic. Too bad it is becoming more common for it to be implied in adverstising.
Thanks for letting me now, Denise! I can pass along that feedback to the company.
I see what you mean. It doesn’t even make any sense, it’s just crass for the sake of it.
After seeing your black duster cardigan in one of your videos i found something similar in charcoal to add to my wardrobe and there is a midlength black warm pleated skirt i found while shopping which will be perfect for me for winter with boots. I'm an Australian,we r about to head into winter. So sorry about all the seperate comments but each time i sign off i think of something else to say. 😊
You can be Madame Chic Bohemienne. :) I've realized that I love a few different styles and that I don't always want to dress the same way. Sometimes I feel chic and classic, sometimes country (ranch style, jeans, boots), sometimes more sexy and bold (leather jacket and cool boots), and it depends on what mood I'm in and where I am (office, barn, running around on the weekend, going out). I love being versatile and expressing various parts of myself. In Dressing Your Truth, I discovered that I'm a Type 3 primary (rich and dynamic) and Type 4 secondary (classic, chic) through analysis of my energy and how I do things (keep lists, get distracted and have several tasks going on at once, more direct and like to take action and get things done).
Excellent!
What a thought provoking video. Several years ago I decided I wanted to have my wardrobe to reflect the words Feminine and Exotic. It still is feminine but is exotic still relevant? I will have to ponder this.
You look fabulous in that fushia dress! Wow!
I'm a bit of a mix with my style also. I woukd probabky say bohemian sometimes, modern and age appropriate and sometimes classic.
Very interesting take on a subject I've mulled over a lot... a lot! As a teacher, I found having a consistent (niche) style offered my students some comfort and created less of a distraction. It also brought me clarity and simplicity. These days I feel the same way with my grandchildren. I want them to say, " Oh, I remember how my MaMa always wore ..." All that said, I do have trouble committing to a style. I trust someday it will come to me like Emily Dickinson and her ubiquitous white dresses!
Thanks for clarifiication, just what I needed to hear!
My 3 adjectives are classic, sophisticated, and coastal 💙
Hi Jennifer! I think you ARE niche, in the best sense, and I think it is totally your own ---- "playful elegance" I see your whimsy and boho spirit weave its way in. ❤ My three words this spring/summer are glamorous, effortless, spontaneous (meaning day to night and ready for any adventure... within reason and footwear permitting 😅) I am not niche but love niche elements such as vintage.
Jennifer, I also have a question: do you find that you are “niche” during certain seasons? I ask because I find myself very “beachy linen flowy colorful” during the hot summer months, but I am NOT that way during the winter. In fact, I think if I lived in the North during the summer I would not wear what I wear now in the American South.
Do you think that climate/ geographical place affects style? Do you think that your style is slightly different because you live in California that it would be if you lived in Michigan, for example? I’m curious about your opinions on the crossover between self-expression and practical/ environmental limits.
Oh, absolutely. I do think that location affects style choices and moods...
I completely relate as a NE girl living closed to beach, but spending last few summers(work related) in Florida. Two completely different ball games😳, even for summers.
Vivacious, effortless, joyful. I love hot pink, striped blue tops, flowy dresses, tailored pants. All so different, but all me
My adjectives for delayed warmer weather in MA are classic/vintage, romantic and versatile...as I need to switch from walking a golden retriever in the rain , working out (and in), yard work and cold, windy days, to put-together, touch of romance and ready to switch in a moment. (I also feel i have a rocker, edgier side as well.) I am ultra confused on what my adjectives really should be and my desires for how i want to dress don't fit my reality a lot of the time....how to???? p.s.Can you tell I'm a libra??...decision making is not my strong point and my closet shows it.🙃😄
Since I have lost a significant amount of weight, I struggled with my adjectives! It seems choosing Categories is more appropriate! My work wardrobe needs pockets, Going “out” is a different category and I’m embracing No Style when I’m home, as I live alone! Of course all need honing, since I walked out of a pair of jeans 🤣 early this week! (Yes they were zipped & button! Thankfully I was home!) I have a large variety of white tops & blouses, since they coordinate with the majority of bottoms! Maybe that’s Classic?! Flow state may evolve over time! Loved 🥰 this video, as I watch my Donate Pile grow! 🦋😊
I feel like somewhat of a chameleon and this video was very encouraging. I do a lot of gardening and I also watch my 2 1/2 year old grandson so I need simplicity, comfort and ease of movement, but I like to look good whatever I’m doing. So my adjectives would be simple, unencumbered and classy. Simplicity is an adjective I’m using for the whole year.
Having developed sunsensitivity, and still wanting to garden, I feel like a cartoon of a little garden lady in my big sunhat,long sleeves, longpants, and garden gloves. I found large cotton striped men's shirts work well, so achieved a classic sporty look. After gardening, i tend to wear dresses and flowing things. So for summer: sporty, classic, romantic.
My three adjectives are exploring cottage core, comfortable, whimsical
