Along with my capsule wardrobe experiment for Q1, I decided to take daily outfit pics to understand what really looked good on me. I learned a lot of Things from this - some good, some not so good:
The good: I am reluctant to throw away things, so the photos helped me see what really needed to go - jeans bagging out at the knees, worn looking tops, etc. My key style word is Luxe so I need things to look fresh and polished and not shabby.
The not so good: I realized that from an aesthetic standpoint, I like myself in conventionally flattering looks that show off my best points. I feel like I look best in these.
What's bad about this? Well, due to my body type (petite, curvy short waisted pear) - there is a relatively small number of things that flatter me (fit and flare dresses, midi skirts, thin knits, Blazers, skinny jeans.) While I like wearing these things, I also like more avant garde, slouchy things and lots of layering that often overwhelms my frame. And I like to experiment, though to my eye on the photos or rarely works out.
What have I learned?
Some invaluable things for me: I need structure on top, scarves need to be streamlined, I need to cater to my short waist. But some rules I will throw out the window in favor of just having fun, dammit.
