My Personal Style In My Thirties Has Outgrown These 3 Things

When I look back at the outfits I wore in my twenties, sure, there are certain looks that make me wince a little bit now that I’m a bit surer with my personal style in my thirties. Fashion changes, and while I once may have thought bubble hems were a good idea, surely I don’t anymore. But, a little cringe isn’t a bad thing. Mostly I look back and see someone who was experimenting and pushing boundaries, discovering her sense of style by trial and error. Maybe, it didn’t always work, but I’m still glad I gave myself room to test new things out.

That process has led me to where I am in my thirties, more confident in my personal style, but also more thoughtful about the purchases I make. Comfort is important, as is longevity. My personal goal is that with any new purchase it will stick around for at least a few years. That means I’m also more inclined to splurge here and there since I know the cost-per-wear checks out the more I find ways to wear it.
