I am a woman on a mission, a style mission. Everyone tells you that your 20s is when you figure out who you are. I think I knew who Lindsay was a while ago, but how Lindsay should be dressed, that's another question. I've kind of done it all; the vintage, the bohemian, the preppy classic, the eccentric, you name it. I've decided that on the eve (almost!) of my 25th birthday extravaganza that I should solve this dilemma. My friend has graciously loaned me
I Love Your Style: How to Define and Refine Your Personal Style
by Amanda Brooks. It gives helpful perspectives, definitions, attributes, and practical closet advice for a multitude of styles.
I then decided I should document this project, as I denoted "Style Evolution 2011." It's more dramatic that way.
You probably can't read that, but essentially it is a list of my goals to reshape my wardrobe. I would like to do the following:
- Add more classic pieces
- Add more textural diversity
- Adhere to minimalist designs/style
- Invest in wardrobe staples
- Allow 1 splurge per season
- Build a lifetime wardrobe
As you see, I snuck in my style results in there. Yes, the results are in and I am a minimalist. I don't know how I didn't figure this out earlier in life! I have always enjoyed uniforms, tailored pieces, eccentric silhouettes, and I abhor patterns.
So I will go forth on this journey to become a minimalist, reshape my wardrobe, and build a closet full of classic, quality pieces. Are you with me?
