If you ask me to define my style in one word or even one sentence, I would probably choke. Truth be told, I don’t confine myself to only one.
In my teens I went through every fashion phase possible, as many of you might have as well. My influences for a while were Avril Lavigne, Fergie and Shakira to name a few. I cringe looking back at some photos, but that “experimental” period helped shape my fashion sense and clearing up not only what I like and what I don’t like, but also what suits me and what doesn’t.
Why then don’t I have a single style? If you take a look at my older fashion posts, even though they have some things in common, you realize that I don’t have that one defined style. Sometimes I like to dress up like a boho chic gal, where other times I go for more formal attire.
What I can definitely say about my fashion sense is that I’m more of a minimalist when it comes to my looks. I like patterns and colors, but nothing overly complicated. I like mixing it up, but I also like following certain color schemes. I usually tend to gravitate towards simpler cuts and forms, because I feel they don’t overwhelm me. Being a tiny gal I feel overly complicated outfits, like lots of ruffles, patterns or colors, make me look even tinier. I personally always preferred simplicity not only in my outfits, but in other esthetic aspects in my life (my hair, makeup, home decor, etc…)
Because for me fashion is a tool for self expression, I don’t want to be confined in one style. My mood and energy changes on a daily basis, and I feel my style should reflect that. I like being all girly in my pink sun dress, but I also love my boyfriend jeans and my rather manly sneakers. You guys know how big my love for red lipstick is, but recently I’ve been rocking grungy brown lips like the 90’s are back!
Some people have one style that defines and suits them like no other, and others have many. I’m definitely one of those “others”. As I grow older, my style is in a constant state of change. Maybe one day I’ll settle for a single style… but knowing myself, I doubt it! Plus where’s the fun in that?
Blazer Banana Republic, Jeans Zara similar , Shoes Steve Madden, Clutch Lulu’s
I’d love to hear from you and your experiences. Do you have one style? Or are you like me and rather try them all? Let me know!

Having many different styles is a great thing, it gets you more creative as you dare to mix different styles with each other and the outcome is often fashionable and chic! Love a preppy outfit with a sporty leather jacket, or a boho maxi dress to a defined blazer! Xx

So since I’m much older—let me weigh in on this “one style”. I’m very much like you (even now) and I always spout out that my personality isn’t one sided so why should my clothing style be only one way?
I bet you’ll always like variety—and I think that’s a good thing!
Amazing shoes BTW!!!

You look ah-mazing! Love this look so much! I like that you’re not afraid to mix things up and have fun with fashion. I think in my case, I’ve naturally gravitated towards a more minimal aesthetic, but definitely add several trend-driven items to my wardrobe every now and then as well!

I can certainly relate to you in the regard that I don’t have one definitive style either. I like to experiment with various styles and vibes and I think I tend to have this sort of preference to other areas of my life, such as home decor and food (I love all kinds of food). As for your outfit, I love it! That blazer looks wonderful on you! It’s so unique in that it has a sporty element with the striped collar, great find! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you’re having a great start to your week so far!

I totally agree with you that is fun to have more than one style theme you stick to, but than again I think that it’s also important to have your personal style and to always add your personal touch to every outfit.
I don’t like it, when people copy looks from head to toe, ofc. we all need and have some inspirations but it is really important to be creative and add your touch to the look and be unique:)

I completely agree. I always use to try and fit my style into a rigid category, opting for only things I thought were “preppy” enough. Over the last few years, I’ve learned to just wear what ever it is I like, to pair unexpected things, and have fun with fashion. Great post!

I’m totally in love with this outfit, especially the blazer. And I can’t even express in words how much I agree with you on confining ourself to only one style. Why restrict yourself to one when you can enjoy all of them. As long as you are comfortable and feel good in what you wearing, you should go for it. It’s like you are speaking my mind there. Love this post!

I adore this post!! While I was pretty borish in my teen years (jeans, a white tee, and some color zip-up hoody? Yes please! BLECH)… as I’ve grown up, I definitely appreciate a variety of “styles” from boho, to casual cute, to edgy and ultra-girly. So glad I’m not the only one who feels they fit into several style categories. Or no category at all. HA!
