I’m currently rediscovering my love of the versatile plain black legging. Big t shirts, oversized button ups, sweaters and cardigans, and now pairing them with the newer love of crop tops and bralette-like tanks. I stumbled into the first truly “me” outfit I’ve had in a long while: matching black leggings and cropped tank with a deep camel brown bell sleeve cardigan. It was perfectly me—a little witchy, super comfy, simple yet intentional.
I’ve encountered too many nights of trying to find the “right” thing to wear out to my boyfriend’s shows only to feel uncomfortable or Gen-Z adjacent next to young adults 8 years younger than me with Xs on their hands. But I’m hopeful with the recent outfit discovery and the reminder to lean into what works for me!
Olivia! I appreciate this comment more than you know. I'm glad you related to this as well -- it's definitely a tricky balance to hit with personal style and I feel like a lot of us have been there recently. Ugh, I felt this: "This past spring I found myself basically obsessed with my identity and how 'fashion' was going to portray it." Love your three words. Your style sounds absolutely awesome and very much "you!" and the best part is that you can now keep evolving it more and more. That's what's so fun about it! Thank you again for your comment. All the best.
