Not so long ago, the always amazing and insightful Suzanne Carillo published a little worksheet to help us identify our personal Style Statement.
You can check it out HERE.
I filled in the worksheet but I was soooooo confused.

The results made absolutely zero sense to me.
My list of style attributes sounded like the names of Snow White's little men:
Sleepy, Grumpy, Frumpy, Dumpy, Tipsy, Schlumpy and Bored

You see, I have spent the better half (and I use the term "better" loosely) of the past five years somewhat out of commission.
It didn't seem like I'd gotten dressed in real clothes for a very long time. Though I do have to admit that there is somewhat of a deconstructed chic to hospital gowns.

Alas, I had lost my style mojo.

So.....
For a week I photographed every outfit, every day to try to figure out my "Style Statement."
I think I've figured it out:
It's big old shirts, jeans and sensible shoes.
big old linen shirt and little old cardigan from The Gap Outlet circa 1990
Levi's 501 jeans
beat up old Born ballet flats
|
big old made-by-me fabric remnant dress
Lucky jeans
Ecco sandals
1930's amber bead necklace from my very stylish mother-in-law |
big old men's shirt from Target
big old hideous Eileen Fisher jeans - purchased with my employee discount
bandana borrowed from Pancake (my dog)
Merrill clogs
|
big old shirt and big old bib overalls circa 1980's
shocking pink kinesio tape on my ankle courtesy of my physical therapist ~ thanks Oly
fresh haircut

big old flannel shirt that used to be a dress until I cut it off
ridiculous elastic waist jeggings - that's right - jeggings
Warby Parker spectacles
Vionic clogs

Seriously. I want to Thank Suzanne for her Style Worksheet. This has been most enlightening. I honestly had no idea that I was such a blue jean baby.
Did you take Suzanne's quiz?
What is your Style Statement?
