Long Time No Blog! - My Style These Days

Well, hello there!

It's a long while, right?

Well, I am still here, and I'm still loving fashion and evolving my style. I'm still photographing my style on Instagram and I recently restarted my Poshmark account, where I am selling items to clear out my closet, as well as start some kind of a business.

As for my style, I'm starting to get more comfortable with it. I still am drawn to dark colors, such as black, black, and black! LOL. But I still like dark red, gray, purple, dark blue and so on. The only lighter colors I enjoy are cream/ecru/ivory/what-have-you, and some shades of red. I enjoy the former because I believe in personal healing, and that color to me represents healing. I like red because I've been told that I look good in red, and I have to admit some shades look amazing.

Does that mean I'll be back wearing pastels and medium colors anytime soon? I doubt it. The other day I work a pale blue turtleneck, and it felt so odd. I don't think it was because I hadn't worn such a pale color in seemingly eons; I think it was because it simply is not me. I feel at peace and in my skin with darker colors. And that's that.

Am I still exploring my gothic side? Not really, not anymore. It is mainly because that's a phase that I missed out on in my teens, and now in my mid-30s, it doesn't make much sense to explore that part of me. However, I do adore gothic jewelry and some goth fashions. So I consider myself a semi-goth. I believe being goth is a lifestyle, and it is not a lifestyle I can do, at least not now. The reason why I felt so interested in exploring the goth lifestyle previously, was because I was going through a dark, hellish period in my life. I was also getting to know my inner demons and inner darkness. But now I'm at peace with all of that and don't feel a need to indulge in them.

That being said, I do love the Corp Goth style, and seek to emulate it. I've always liked the sophisticated, professional look, so by adding dark colors and some gothic jewelry, I guess you could call me a Corp Goth or a mature goth.

But what about my other style sense? I mean, I love the boho look, even though I'm not entirely carefree and could never wear certain colors. For me, the boho style represents inner peace which I strive for. So by combining Corp Goth with Boho, I've got my own style coming on.

And let's not forget vintage! I'm starting to really like vintage jewelry and some clothing. It's a good thing that the 90s are considered vintage these days, LOL!

So what is my style? It is Boho/Corp Goth/Vintage.

Yeah, that's it! 😁
