Defining My Aesthetic

Prompt: If your personal style had a name, what would it be? (Think: Cozy Academic, Edgy Minimalist, etc.) What words best describe the aesthetic you want to embody?

If my personal style had a name, it would be Octogenarian Art Teacher—a blend of effortless layers, rich textures, and artistic eccentricity with a polished edge. I want my wardrobe to feel moody, intentional, and lived-in, built around linen pants, flowing vests, oversized cardigans, and deep autumn tones. Accessories like statement glasses, long necklaces, and textured scarves add personality without feeling overdone.

As a woman in an executive creative role, I’ve noticed that successful women in this field cultivate a distinctive yet professional presence. I want my style to reflect confidence, creativity, and expertise, keeping doors open while staying true to myself.

This isn’t just about fashion—it’s about embodying the life I’m building, where creativity and confidence coexist effortlessly.
