Style: What does it mean to you?

-

Fashion styles: preppy, punk, bohemian, rocker, classic, feminine, grunge, trendy etc.........

The list of fashion styles is endless. Some people identify readily with certain styles and when asked: "What is your style?" can answer definitively.  


I actually find the issue of style to be more complex and multi-faceted. To me, style is a way to express your own unique and individual personality.  That sounds simple enough, right? Wrong!😉The thing is, people rarely fit nicely into one neat category of style, personality, identity or anything! 


As people we are constantly evolving, as is our style. When I was at university (the first time) I experimented with many styles: punk, boho and goth. Yes, goth! The interesting thing is that at each point in time, the style I wore felt authentic and suited me at the time.

Of course there are certain fashion styles that I gravitate towards more than others and I guess if I had to define my style, I could say it's partly boho, with a twist of rocker and quirk! Whatever that means!😉

The problem with labels though, is they can be very limiting and assume that we can be classified nicely into a box. Also, sometimes the way I dress differs depending on the day! My mood, the weather, the occasion and the specific situation all influence what I wear and by extension, my style, or more accurately, the perception of my style.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I believe my style is my style and even if it's influenced by trends or certain styles, it is mine and I am me. The same way your style is your style and you are you! 




What does style mean to you?  Do you define your style? If yes, how do you define it? Is your style always changing or does it stay the same? Let me know! I'd love to hear from you!

    My style has definitely changed over the years that's for sure! Thankfully I don't still dress how I did in the 80s with leg warmers & ra ra skirts with crimped hair! LOL

Up, Up & Away!

Do you consider yourself to be adventurous?  What does it mean to you to be adventurous?  Has the meaning of adventurous changed for you as you've grown older?   The other day I was out shopping with the family and noticed a new play area for kids, with hot air balloons painted on the walls.  After a quick family game of table tennis in which I truly sucked, the images of hot air balloons got me thinking about adventures and what it means to be adventurous.   I've never been adventurous in the extreme activities kind of way, such as partaking in skydiving, bungee jumping or even hot air ballooning!  I've never been interested in the first two activities, but I would like to ride in a hot air balloon and float up, up and away into the sky! In my twenties, I was adventurous in terms of travel and exploring new places.  I moved to Japan for two years when I was twenty one and travelled all around Japan (and other parts of Asi...

Colourful Crop Cardis & Midi Skirts

Our internet is in and out at the moment, so while it's in , I'm going to go for it! The outfits I'm sharing with you today are quite different on the surface, as the colour schemes are dramatically different!  The first one has lots of autumnal colours and a bit of a 1970s vibe and the second one features more summery colours with a slight nautical vibe!  When I wore these outfits recently, I never thought they were similar at all, until I was going through my blog photos and realised both outfits were made up of colourful tees, cropped cardis and midi skirts!  So in that realisation, this post was born! My favourite outfit is the first one, because I haven't worn those colours much before and I was happy pairing these items together for the first time!  I like the second outfit as well, but I do wear blue and red together quite often.  Actually, it might be a good outfit for Australia Day, which is coming up soon!

Can you believe it is almost the end of February?  I am still getting used to it being 2019, and the second month is already almost over!  This is my last week to get everything sorted out before my postgraduate studies resume again next week.  I haven't even ordered my textbooks yet!  I really need to get organised!   In the outfit I'm sharing today, I'm wearing one of my fave maxi skirts that I've had for many, many years!  I've worn it with many different coloured tops over the years, but this was the first time wearing my new burgundy coloured top.  I love the burgundy and wine colours that are around at the moment.  They're so pretty! The outfit: Top: H & M Skirt: Tree of Life Sandals: Gino Ventori Necklace: Diva I've had these beads for so many years now, but I never tire of wearing them!  They add a bit of colour and cheer to every outfit.   Bag: Marikai This bag is a new ...
