I leave myself not very long to get ready, so I need a good coffee to get me pumped up, out the door, ready for my day.

It's delicious, by the way.

Well done.

Thank you.

I found this really hard, a really hard exercise because I don't know if you agree.

I feel like my style really ranges from day to day.

It's not like just the one aesthetic.

And I actually asked my Instagram audience what they think.

And there was one answer that I really, really liked and it was boyish.

joyful and romantic.

And I was like, that is so nice.

I think about this all the time because I think people want this like authentic style, personal style to, for you to like pick it out of thin air.

Like it's not a thing that you just like know and you can go into a store and you just know what your personal style is.

Like everything else in your life, it's like a muscle that you have to, you have to flex.

Flex.

Like,

similar to your personality you're not like fully evolved at the age of 18 or 20 same with your style it's not going to be fully evolved at 20 you're not going to be able to go into a store and be like that's exactly my style you have to try lots of things on you have to look bad there's going to be some shit outfits you know like because you're going to find bits that you like from those outfits and then you're going to bring it into the next one or you're going to really find out what you don't like which also is going to start steering you into a direction I'm

I also think like a micro trend or a trend isn't a bad thing as well because it's a really easy way to try something on and also see how other people interpret that trend and try pull it into your personal style.

So I think the best thing that you can do is just keep trying and evolving.

And the more you try new things, the more you try new outfits and colors and textures, the more you're going to be able to refine what it is that actually feels like you.
