Know yourself, to know your style.

KNOW YOURSELF,
​
​TO KNOW YOUR STYLE.

Picture
I've come to know myself, my style, and what I actually wear. So, I know that I should usually invest in black basics. Scratch that..., black everything! Once I have one of everything in black, I can start to think about colors and prints. Black is my favorite color (Even though it's not really a color. In physics, black is rather a perfect absorber of light), and this is my favorite skirt. I've used it far beyond the #30wears mark, as it’s my most used skirt. The shape and length is perfect for my skittle body type, and the color and texture is so me.

The bikini top is also a favorite of mine, as I love that it feels a little sci-if with the scuba material and the mesh. It definitely gets heavily used in the summer when it's too hot to wear more clothes, but I still feel like keeping the look clean.
​
The fact that I still use this outfit as much now as I did years ago when it was new, is how I know that I made a good clothing investment. The best part is, that they both look as good as new. I love good quality clothing.

If you’re wondering how you can figure out what’s really your style and what’s not.
Imagine you’re going shopping in your closet. What items would you not buy now?
The second test is to imagine you have to leave for a very long time and can only bring (lets say) two large suitcases. Most people only use 1/3 of their wardrobes, so what third of your clothes would you actually pack as your essentials? 
​

The first test shows what clothes you should stop buying, the second test show what clothes you should invest in. 
Buy the essential clothes in great quality so they last, and just stop buying the non essentials. Or you can rather borrow, buy used, or rent them. Maybe even share them with someone? That way they still get the usage they should have for it to be sustainable for you to buy them. 
​

Your essentials are pieces that gets uses at least 30 times, and usually a lot more. #rewearyourclothes

The dark and artsy photos of this outfit, was taken by the amazingly talented photographer Camilla Stovollen.

Since these artsy photos are a bit dark, I added a photo of me in bright sunlight wearing the same outfit. These photos are shot some time apart. The first ones in the end of summer (not this summer obviously) and the last one in the beginning of this summer. So, that's why my skin and hair is a bit different.

Your style is definitely based on who you are. If you are someone who loves t-shirts, then that is how you dress. You do not need to copy other people's styles, in my opinion, all you need to do is know what you like. I am not saying that it is easy to do that, but I am hoping that you realize that it is important to have an idea of it. Style is a fundamental part of socialism.
