The things I Love...

Understanding what truly reflects 'me' and what doesn't has been a journey. I absolutely love combining contrasting elements in my outfits. I find nothing more satisfying than a stylistic mix-and-match where opposite genres are juxtaposed. The resulting outfits often feel unique, intentional and modern. 

And with a core wardrobe composed of sleek menswear, utilitarian-inspired and athletic pieces it took some time at the drawing board to find the perfect feminine garments to pair. But let me clarify: not girly. If it's too girly (floral, ruffles, ornate jewelry, cute prints, ballet flats..), it's simply not me. Not a vamp either, also not a prairie girl... So, what type of woman am I...is that what it all boils down to?

So, here's to understanding the very essence of a personal style. In my case, where menswear meets utilitarian workwear, and where shine and sensuality intertwine. The next step involves breaking down these concepts into style elements and figuring out how they translate in a real life closet. More things to consider though: an existing wardrobe, the climate, a lifestyle and individual comfort constraints, a specific body figure, some favorite colors, and more. Bringing a whole aesthetic to life can be a challenging puzzle to solve, but guess what? That happens to be one of my favorite things to do!
