    I’m pretty boyish and minimal in style lol. I like comfortable and low effort. I’ll call it: Grown up grunge?

    Like imagine Vans, band tee, flannel, ripped jeans. But instead of ripped jeans, make it black slacks/trousers. Instead of flannel, make it a solid button-up shirt left open.

    Mix and match to get the desired balance. For example…

    Lug-sole boots instead of sneakers/Converse

    Leather bag instead of backpack

    Coat, cardigan or blazer instead of flannel

    I might pair cargo pants with a collared sweater or slim turtleneck

    Etc.

    I’m going for unique, alternative and fun. I’m an alt girl, so I’m drawn to that style. I dress quite different, I like patterned tights, clothes with bows and things that most people wouldn’t wear. I have great fun with it… I love prints with animals on them, bright colours and outfits that are cheerful and friendly. It really does show my personality a lot!

        Ahhh sooo cute!! I love how you decorated those spaces! And honestly yes 🤭 pastel pink and florals in every room. If it’s not pink (has to be the right shade too), I don’t buy it! Well, I also love a pastel purple, so I mix that in too 💜 I feel like embracing my aesthetic has also made shopping easier; I’m limited on options and don’t get so overwhelmed having to consider every color out there.

  • None at all.
    Explanation: I own one pair of jeans, 4 dresses, 3 sweaters and 3 t-shirts, period. I grab whatever’s clean. I buy 1 item of clothing each year from our local thrift shop. Try as I may, I don’t give a damn. I used to, but now I just want to forage in peace. It’s lovely.

        now I’m trying to reduce it to a single word! steam is coming out of my ears as my brain attempts the feat

        EDIT: here’s what I’ve got, it’s like if your depressed autistic aunt were dressing for church? Too many dresses, skirts, floral patterns. I accidentally dress too nicely for the social contexts I’m in (awkward), but everything is dark colors and often dominated by black. Trying to lean into simpler and more casual looks, but this often results in a t-shirt and a skirt that still comes across as church-y, esp. when paired with ballet slips instead of birks.

        My sister once described my style as very dark academia, which I get from the 1. darkness, and 2. formality - but I have doubts I pull off a consistent dark academia vibe (though that wouldn’t be out of place for me).

        Too many words, ugh.

  • Utility, goth, punk.

    Goth and punk are fairly self explanatory. I joke that when I buy new fishnet or lace tights, I position myself as a goth, but then as they get more holes in them (or fewer holes, I suppose, given that a tear in fishnets will merge multiple smaller holes into one larger hole), they become punkier.

    Mostly the goth/punk aspects of my style just means I mostly wear black, and that necessitates adding visual interest in some other way, such as textured fabrics (lace, leather, velvet etc.), or embellishments such as spikes.

    “Utility” isn’t a great word for the other aspects of my style, but I needed to try to describe this component somehow, because it’s the part that’s probably most notably me. I once had a petticoat made entirely of pockets. I’m a big fan of convertible clothing. I have an underbust corset that I like wearing because it helps to provide support for heavy things around my waist, such as a heavy utility belt thing. I have had less of this cool stuff in recent years, because I need to get back into making stuff, but it’s still an aspect of my style

    Athletic, jeans, comfortable. I do alt-lite (dyed hair, tattoos) but mostly I’m chasing after a toddler and I work as a teacher so 10K steps a day is on the low end for me. I’m not a huge fan of leggings or yoga pants as everyday wear but I like fitted t-shirts
