Couldn’t agree more. Having worked in fashion, with people who had access to everything, I found they had the tightest wardrobe edits. This reflects great self-awareness and confidence, not a lack of creativity.
Couldn't agree more! If anything, being selective with what you buy and working with the pieces you already have in your wardrobe indicates an abundance of creativity.
Thank you! As someone who’s worked hard to overcome my shopaholic habits, this is a phrase I’ve had to remind myself of many times over the years. While I’m still occasionally tempted by a good sale, it helps me stay grounded and resist the urge to splurge.
I noticed that people who also claim to have their personal style and capsule wardrobes are only doing the minimalism/ quiet luxury trend. I think a lot of people misinterpret the phrase personal style and switch over to minimalism and just neutral colors to compensate and cover up. However it does spark a itch to then go on a shopping spree.
Its so important to be self reflective, when consuming media to constantly ask yourself do i actually like this? Is this realistic for me? And then overtime your NATURAL taste and eye grows with you.
Huge difference between a fashionable person and a stylish one. A person with true personal style will only pick up on a trend that actually expresses them as a person, and those pieces stay in rotation.
Finally. Fashion chasing should be grotesque on a planet burning up due to human overconsumption — but it looks desperate and silly to boot.

“Style is about curating, not accumulating” OOOOOF that’s good.

Personal style is about wearing what you love not wearing what other people love
I think this every time I watch real housewives…
Carolyn Bessette Kennedy is my fashion icon spirit animal. Totally self-possessed & effortless chic.
Great post! I feel like my style became more considered once I went through a declutter.
Likewise! The less I have, the clearer my mind is when I go into my closet, and the better my outfits turn out. Sometimes, less really is more.

I love this, opting out of trends requires so much self awareness these days, knowing yourself instead of the social landscape
