  • 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!

  • To make it easier, choose one practical word, (what you typically have in your closet), one aspirational (what you want to incorporate more of), and one emotional (how you want to feel and/or how you want others to feel when they see you).

    -Practical word: androgynous - I love outfits that combine elements of masculine and feminine.

    -Aspirational word: layered - I love blazers and scarves and sweaters with a collared shirt under. I'm hot natured so this is a tricky one for me, but I've been working it into my style.

    -Emotional word: bold - bold colors and prints, things that make me stand out.

    I use the Indyx app (free version) to track my wardrobe, plan outfits, and figure out what I don't need to buy.

    • oo, I like this approach to getting three words!! And I had no idea there is an app for managing your wardrobe 🤯

      • There are other apps, but this is the one I'm familiar with. It's definitely saved me money. I'll see something I love on poshmark, then add a photo of it to the app. Then I can pair it with stuff I already own to see if it's worthwhile. It's amazing how I often I think something will fit with my wardrobe only to find it clashes with all the bottoms I own, or that I would need to buy a second item to make it work. I also misplaced a ring, and I was able to see which day I wore it, to find which pants I left it in the pocket of. It's a lot of work to photograph everything but it's fun if you're into that sort of thing.

  • Pink, delicate, frilly

    Himekaji and Ryousangata girl with plenty of Liz Lisa, Vina of the Valley, and DearMyLove. I just looove bows, lace, and super cute clothes!! 🩷🎀

    • this won't make sense if you don't play Animal Crossing, but if you were an Animal Crossing villager I assume you would have a Peppy personality and your house would be decorated with the Cute series

      like this:

      • 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.

  • three words are far too few 😭

    • Haha what's the lowest number you can do it in?

      • 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.

  • 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
