I feel like with new aesthetics emerging literally every 5 seconds it seems (Barbiecore? Kidcore? Coquette?) we're all at the point where we don't even know what we like anymore!
And if you can relate to what I just said, I can assure you that you aren't alone!
But no worries! I am going to help you rediscover your style so you can start dressing based on what you actually like and not based off of social media!
If you like the content in this post, make sure you give the blog a follow! And without further ado, let's get into it!
1. Stop Scrolling
Yes, I said it! Put the phone down and take a social media fast for a second. Really take some time to breath. Without thinking about your favorite celebrities, influencers and any other outside influences think about what YOU like.
2. Ask Yourself These Questions
- What type of clothing pieces do you like to wear?
- What clothing pieces are you comfortable wearing?
- Do you like bold or muted colors?
- What would you call your style? Is it feminine? Is it sporty? Is it casual? Is it classy?
When you ask yourself these questions, make sure you aren't thinking about any social media aesthetics you've seen online! Just really think about your own personal interests! Feel free to write your answers down as well so you have them to look back on!
3. Take Inventory Of Your Closet
Take out your absolute favorite pieces! This is a similar step I love to use on cleaning out your closet posts and finding your style! It's such a good thing to do, because when you think about your favorite pieces, you can further determine what you like about them and why.
After you've picked out these pieces, ask yourself what you like about them. Are all of them black and moody, or bright and colorful? Are all of the shirts lacey and tight or baggy?
After you've asked yourself these questions, you're halfway there!
4. How You Are
Kind of a vague title don't ya think? But, this is really what I'm asking you to consider - "how you are"
What are your personality traits? Are you bubbly and sweet? Mysterious and quiet? Smart and studious?
Once you've thought about how you are as a person, move on to step 5!
5. How You Want To Be Perceived
Let's be honest, this sucks for all of us but regardless of what we think gossip and judgement is gonna happen! People are going to talk about us based on how we look, how we speak and how we act! It's unfortunate, but it is true!
So, on the topic of this - how do you want to be perceived by others? Do you want to look "smart"? Feminine and flirty? Sporty and laidback? Chill and casual?
Lots of questions, I know! But in this new year of 2023, I think it's time for some self-discovery!
So, hopefully after answering all these questions and doing these steps, you now have an idea of what your style is!
At this point you should now have the freedom to go back on social media if you choose, and look through different styles and aesthetics! If you want, you can find an aesthetic that works for you, but don't feel as though you need to conform to anything! Boxes are meant for shoes, not for people! (quote courtesy of Sheila 💜)
