My Sense of Style

Day to day, I gravitate toward clothes that feel effortless and casual, but still intentional. Not frumpy, not lazy, just put together enough that if a friend called me out of the blue and said, “Let’s go on an adventure,” my outfit would already work. Think slightly Weasley-coded: practical, cozy, and lived-in, with personality.

Everyday Style

In the summer, I mostly live in knee-length denim shorts and graphic t-shirts. I like finding tees at thrift stores or vendor malls, places where you can get higher-quality shirts with character instead of fast fashion prints. I usually pair them with high-top Converse, matching the color to my shirt, or high-top Reeboks if I’m leaning into a more 80s look.

In spring and fall, I love layering:

-Hoodies

-Jackets

-Knit sweaters or cardigans

I usually wear these with high-waisted straight-leg jeans and Converse. If I want a bit more shape, I’ll wear Henley tops or scoop-neck shirts, since they add waist definition without feeling dressy.

Winter = Survival Mode

In winter, my style honestly takes a back seat to staying warm. I wear:

-Long johns under my jeans

-Big boots

-A sweatshirt and a heavy coat

-Gloves, a beanie, and a scarf

I don’t overthink it. I just want to be warm, and that’s okay.

Sunday / Church Style

On Sundays, I prefer fit-and-flare or wrap dresses that define my waist. I like dresses that hit at the knee or below, since I prefer dressing more modestly.

Accessories stay simple:

-Pearl earrings or gold hoops

-A delicate gold necklace

I don’t like high heels, boots, Mary Janes, or sandals. Ballet flats are my go-to dress shoes. In winter, I’ll add wool tights and a wool coat.

Swimwear

For swimwear, I stick to one-piece swimsuits with a sweetheart neckline and two shoulder straps (not halter styles). I prefer darker colors, since lighter ones tend to wash me out, especially because I stay fairly pale even in summer.

I am a soft autumn in my coloring, so the colors that flatter me best are:

Cream, beige, Chocolate brown, Navy, Sage, 

Olive, Muted forest green, Pastel Blue, Burnt orange, Rose Gold, Mauve, Peachy Pink, plum

Peach pink and Gold.
