This really, really hits home for me: "I can find something I like pretty much anywhere, so my personal taste radar picks up on too much noise." Oh, so much noise! It's hard to focus and remember that there are only 365 days in a year and I only have one body, or one self (albeit a multi-faceted self) to dress!
Yes! And so many of those days are too hot to wear lots of the fun stuff anyways, ha. Trying to get better at allowing beautiful clothes to exist without feeling a strong desire to own them myself.
It’s fun to see someone else’s mood board. I’ve been trying similar. I only screenshot what I would really wear - not what I just admire or think looks great. I don’t exercise such restraint when favoriting on the Real Real though... need to work on that...
Omg wow does this resonate. I saw a woman a few months ago and I was like, HER STYLE, THAT! It was simple and pared down, but well tailored and practical. I am trying to keep it in my head when I shop but alas.. I am lured by links to weird ass pants at Urban Outfitters and it’s like “shiny weird thing, me want” until I remember, no I don’t! I want to be like stranger woman! Ugh.
I understand that completely! I think there’s a balance to be struck, since sparkly pants can have a time and place and even form a fun memory (like remember the Christmas Eve when I wore those crazy pants?) kind of thing. But I hope you find some pieces that will help you achieve a similar look as what she was wearing! I have people/images like that in my head that serve as goals for what I want my outfits, especially everyday kinds of outfits, to resemble. Also always simple... and yet I’m pretty drawn to the sparkles and crazy details as well lol. This too is life!
