Mood: It’s hot outside. Dutch people don’t like excess heat.
Listening to: 9XM music videos. I think Bol Bachchan may be
my new favorite song. I can’t get it out of my head anyhow.
A while back I read somewhere that people generally are at
their best dressed when they are in their 30’s.
It was like a light bulb snapped on in my head. You see, I thought it
was just me that took until she turned 30 to develop any kind of stylishness at
all.
My teen aged years were spent in large t shirts and baggy
jeans due to some over protective parents and a lack of comfort with my own
body.
My early 20’s were spent in a Subway uniform, a diner apron,
and later maternity clothes. I worked way
too much to ever invest in clothes
and didn’t have the money to anyway.
My mid-late 20’s were spent in homage to Guns in Roses.
Black GNR tees and baggy jeans (again with the body confidence that just was
not there).
I have never been one to use color in clothing (hello black,
tan, and jean), be comfortable with fitted clothes, and never considered myself
to be stylish at all.
Last year, I started not being so afraid of color and
branched out a bit. To be sure, my beloved tee shirts and jeans were still very
much in rotation, but after Daddy G complained that he sometimes wondered if he
married a boy, I knew it was time for a change. Skirts made an appearance.
Lower cut and tighter (nothing scandalous, just fitted) shirts started making appearances
too.
After moving to India, Daddy G pushed me to expand even
more. Obviously, anything low cut was left in the states, but my wardrobe no
longer consists of only black band tees, even though I admit they are still my
favorite. Brightly colored tunics and
jewel toned skirts are now worn on a regular basis.
I’m glad I’ve hit my stride, even if it has taken me until I
turned 30 to find it. Hopefully, after losing some weight, shopping will be a
bit more fun too. As lame as it is, I do find myself liking who I am as I get
older.
Hopefully it just keeps getting better.
When did you find your style? Have you always had it or was
it something you had to develop?
