Breaking Free from Fashion Rules

I used to think style meant sacrificing comfort — especially when it came to everyday wear. But over time, I’ve realized that the pieces I reach for most are the ones that make me feel good in every sense. Whether I’m running errands, chasing the boys around, or heading to a coffee shop to write, I want to feel like myself — not a version of me squeezed into something that doesn’t fit my life.

That’s why I’ve leaned into a more effortless, functional style. Think relaxed jeans, oversized sweaters, and — my current favorite — workout shoes. They’re sleek enough to pair with my casual looks but supportive enough to keep me going all day. I never thought a pair of shoes would feel like such a staple in my wardrobe, but here we are.

Embracing the Unpredictable

One thing I love about exploring my personal style is that it’s constantly evolving. One day, I’m feeling minimalist and neutral-toned; the next, I’m drawn to bold patterns and fun accessories. And honestly? That’s the beauty of it. There’s no final destination — just a journey of figuring out what feels right in the moment.

I’m learning to dress for how I want to feel. On days when I need a confidence boost, I pull out my structured blazer and a pair of statement earrings. On slower days, it’s all about cozy, easy layers and my ‘goes with everything’ white sneakers — because even a laid-back look deserves a little style.

Style is More Than Clothes

For me, style isn’t just about what I wear — it’s about how I show up. It’s in the way I carry myself, the way I speak, and the way I live out my faith and values. Fashion is just one part of that bigger picture.

So, if you’re like me — somewhere between loving a curated aesthetic and embracing the messy, beautiful reality of everyday life — I encourage you to lean into that. Wear what makes you feel strong, confident, and true to who you are.

What does personal style mean to you? Are you still figuring it out, or have you found that sweet spot of comfort and confidence? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
