As the weather has warmed and the seasons have changed, I have been thinking a lot about what sorts of outfits I am creating, which pieces in my wardrobe I have been gravitating towards and why.
I am realizing that the summer season draws me out of my shell a bit, allowing me to depart from my usual dark and defensive wardrobe that I described here.
Don’t get me wrong – I still like my black and gray, the weird and somber shapes, the leather details and chain motifs. But, I tend to err on the bohemian side on a beautiful, summery day. The comforting, warm weather allows me to let my guard down after nine months of cold weather. And, surprisingly, I like it very much. It feels like a bit of a release, an escape through fashion, a way to redefine myself – if only for a season.
And isn’t that what fashion is all about?? Expressing your personality and wearing your heart – literally – on your sleeve??
So, analyze your own fashion personality. Maybe it will help you figure out which fashion styles are best for you – even if its one season at a time.
