She writes, “As a doctoral student in developmental psychology, I have been able to engage in a lot of introspection, including the progression of my style.”
“… Needless to say, my style progression has evolved to a style uniquely my own that I like to call “City Love”. City Love is full of classic chic silhouettes and beautiful sequined materials that you would find while out on the town.”
” I like bodycon dresses, but a classic sheath dress never loses its integrity nor does a modern or vintage sequin outfit.”
” City Love also incorporates the culture of a city, including its diversity and the connection one feels with those around them in the city, through the intricate details and patterns that you will find in many of my beaded statement necklaces, from South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria.”
” City Love also has elements of romance, which we all know can be up and down while in the city, so how having thick skin becomes necessary. Hence why I enjoy mixing hers and his pieces. I truly have the most fun with clothes/accessories that have a masculine feel to them. Unfortunately, for my boyfriend, he had to get used to the idea of sharing his stuff with me.”
” Finally, City Love is always searching and yearning for a time when things were simple. Kind of like that home sick girl trying to find her way in a big city.”
“… For me when I feel like going to back to the basic, I turn to my favorite vintage jean jacket, denim shirts, or a pair of sweats. My City Love style is not perfect or always beautifully put together. I often forget to put on earrings, completely accessorize my outfit, or coordinate the best prints, but I have learned those are my imperfections fit perfectly into City Love.”
” Overall, I believe we are able to express our authenticity through our style, which is unique and individually tailored to who are on the inside. From a psychological aspect, when your inside matches your outside, in other words if you have a rocker/edgy personality and you have that expressed in your clothing you are expressing a sort of harmonious relationship with you and what the outside world sees when you first present yourself. I am a mix of beautiful, rustic, shiny, colorful entities that you will find in a city.”
Well, that was undoubtedly the most loquacious and eloquent style description we’ve ever received! You have a ton of classic combinations with quirky twists, which is admirable. My favorite look would have to be your yellow cape dress. Chic!
