I was just writing a response to Angie's post, and it occurred to me how we express our innate senses of style in many ways. I've written before how few pieces of clothing I have (literally, I could name them here: two pairs of jeans, one pair of comfy dress slacks) six dresses (not including my wedding/cocktail dress), three long-sleeve t-shirts, six cardigan sweaters, a couple button downs, a couple of suits, maybe 5 knit shirts, and that's more or less it--no kidding). But my clothes are in multiple, and often bright, colors. I do not shy away from combining crazy colors. I suppose my aesthetic is minimalist and bright.

And if you walked into my home, that is what would strike you. I have very little furniture--most of it is simple (and used or antique), and no knickknacks whatsoever. I do not collect things. I do not have many photos or anything on display. It's pretty sparse. But the walls! I have bright golden-orange with black trim and purple velvet curtains in the living room. Grass green with black trim, a dark purple/red lampshade (with black fringe) and bamboo shades in the bedroom. Bright turquoise, white wainscoting, and black trim in the bath, and the kitchen I did in a minimalist extra-white and black (I painted the cabinets black). I have one painting on the walls, and that's in the kitchen.

Realizing this is sort of funny. I'm interested in how the rest of you define your styles and how you have expressed that in other areas of your lives?
