I'm Surprised By My Closet

Hmmm...I hadn't gone back to look at my older outfit posts for quite some time until today.  I guess I had been wondering if I have any type of "specific" style. I kind of thought I was eclectic, or maybe sort of experimental, (maybe just mental,) but really, I might be much closer to a preppier style.  Not necessarily in the fabric choices but more so in traditional shape.

Anyway, here's a look with very traditional-ish classic preppy pieces from my closet...


Olive cargo pants and breton striped shirt...well, almost breton stripe.


My shoes are least classic, though they are Docs believe it or not.  (And they sort of blend into my rug...sorry about that!)

I may need to investigate myself further.  I know I have some interesting pieces in my closet, but frankly I'm surprised!  How can I not see my own style?   Am I the only one who doesn't recognize myself?  I don't think I am...

Do you know your style?

Hahaha, I don't know my style either. When people want me to explain it in one word, I just say:"comfy", but that's not a style, so yeah :D Having a hard time finding out myself too, don't worry :D

We are all the worst judges of ourselves -- we simply don't see ourselves with the distance and clarity that others do. And almost all of us have distinct, consistent styles and habits.

I find this to be true of most of my female blogging friends. They think they wear a wide variety of clothes but I see that range as much narrower.

Because of my inexperience, I experiment with wildly-different stuff, but I recognize that certain shapes and patterns appeal to me so I favor them. That recognition, which initially surprised me, emerged after a few years of blogging -- and it was in looking back at my blog-outfits that I saw it clearly.

BTW, I like your style!

I'm kind of in love with this look! It's like edgy on the bottom, preppy/classic on top. Perf combo!

As for my style...it depends on what day it is, I suppose. I can never pinpoint it.
