Challenge #2: MY PERSONAL STYLE

Today’s challenge is to describe my own personal style. Well to describe my style…. Hmm that could be a tough one, I would describe my style as comfortable. Ha Ha!! I am not picky when it comes to clothes basically grab and go. I wear a lot of t-shirts and jeans. I was born at the end of the 70’s which had a wonderful style. I remember going through my mom’s closet and seeing all the colors and fringe. I feel like it was unique and amazing but not my style. I grew up during the 80’s and I loved the bright neon colors and I am almost certain that the over use of hairspray could be the single contributing factor to the hole in the ozone layer!! I could never sport the teased bangs myself but I did have the feathered hair look. I did admire that the 80’s was a decade devoted to a unisex look pretty much anyone could wear the fashion and look cool. Male or female it could be adapted accordingly. (I am sure we all remember the hair bands of the 80’s, some of my favorite bands come from the era, However I had quite the time explain to my kids that they were men and not women!) I am ashamed to say though that I did go through a period in about 86 where I had Day-Glo orange spandex pants, as well as Neon green. Not my finest hour but I tried. FYI, it is not a good look for a 200 lb. 6th grader to wear neon spandex in the 80’s kids can be mean and I set myself up for some torment. (but we will save that for another post) Now in the 90’s I did get behind the grudge look, but of course I was a teenager in the 90’s and it could be the rebellious stage I went through. I loved the flannel shirts and denim. But really even now who doesn’t love a great fitting pair of Jeans. I also still own a couple denim Jackets that I do wear on a regular basis. I also LOVED the gothic look. I loved wearing black because as a big girl black was a flattering color. I also loved the corset look, (I currently own 3 corsets that I wear on a regular basis) Currently my style would be more western I like a great boot and again as I said before I LOVE a great fitting pair of Jeans. I have used many pieces from a lot of styles I have even added some vintage pieces from the 50s era as well. SOO … what is your opinion? How would you describe your style? Or if you’re like me and have a mishmash of pieces in your closet what was your favorite style from which era?
