find my style

Received my new dress, they are very cool, one of them is actually a playsuit, very sweet and pretty with a nipped in waist and ringed neck but a little bit of quirk in that its not actually a dress!!

I also bought a coat today, cropped trench in a light caramel colour, with big black buttons and a military style/cowled neck line, I LOVE IT! One of my male friends asked me if i had been splashing out on designer clothes coz it looked so good and all of my girlfriends love it, it totally works for me thought, its luxe, feminine, a little bit cute and a little bit quirky :)

I love dresses, I love them SO MUCH! I just bort two CUTE ones online cant wait till they arrive! I am getting focus on this goal, so wen I achieve my lose 10 pounds goal I am rewarding myself with a summer shopping trip, so I have to know what I am looking for!!

I need to figure it out. Outside and inside.

While I haven’t really found my style, at least affirming what it isn’t has kept me from a number of fashion blunders since adopting this goal.

I can just throw this goal into maintenance mode, and not have to keep it up on 43t list.

I walked around Capitol Hill with my daughter yesterday. It’s been Seattle’s hippest neighborhood for more than a generation. We were flagged down by some market researchers to take a look at some Toyota Scions, and then as a reward, we were given two $10 gift certificates for the Red Light, a vintage clothing store on Broadway.

What am I to make of the fact that they were selling clothes just like ones I already own, but to be making ironic fashion statements, not to be worn sincerely?

well after lots of style and soul searching apparently what i needed was to go shopping with someone i dont normally go with! I bought a beret the other day to go with my new hair and it has entirely opened a floodgate for more berets, scarves, belts, coloured tights and all sorts of things! Im not there yet but trying different things, which is half the battle.

i’ve always been comfortable with who i am ,recently tho i would say there are very few areas off my life witch i am i happy with ,my wardrobe being one of them ,i have tried soo many different aproach’s to a solution but to no prevail,how am i supposed to find my true style and be comfortable with hoe other perceive me???

I need to do this as since I decideed to only buy what I like and am going to wear….I have’t brought much, and I’m in need of a new look.

Whack it all off?
Leave it?
What?

Ok well ive been ripping my fav pieces out of magazines for awhile now and there are some v strong trends in what catches my eye. I like clothes that are femiene and sexy, sleek and fairly structured. I like the elegant, luxuary look with a little bit of a quirk and a little bit preppy. I like outfits that look very pulled together, but effortless. I love cute dresses, for day or night, long coats, fitted jeans with shirts, oversized slouchy jumpers, quirky shoes and boots, corporate trousers etc.

I have also been paying attention to compliments I recieve, ones that give specifics, not just like “you look nice” but “you look like…..” “I really like…....”
I get told ppl like my eyes, my freckles and my dark hair, so these are all attributes to play up. I also get told a lot that I look like a doll (lol) but this is good i suppose as doll like looks should work with a feminine, elegant, preppy, sexy thing!
I also get complimented on the days i take a bit of time to put my outfits together rather then jst throw any old thing on, particularly wen wearing fairly simple pieces with one vintage twist or something
