Personal Style Blossoms with Time and Intention

I recently revisited my digital wardrobe on Indyx. I had let it sit untouched for a while — after an unfortunate (and honestly pretty disappointing) experience with their support team, I just didn’t feel inspired to use it. But lately, I've been deep in a phase of decluttering, editing, and shedding the extra, so I decided to give it another try.

After a little time inventorying my wardrobe is updated again, which admittedly is so satisfying. And just in time, because this spring my style feels like it's shifting. I finally weaned my son and for the first time in a long while I feel like I’m getting my body back. That familiar spring urge to clear the decks — to freshen up my spaces, my routines, and my style — came rushing in.

When I revisited the personal style workshop I did last May, it felt like coming home. My three core words still ring true: Clean, Classic, and Casual. The inspiration I pulled from then — "minimalist California Coastal with aspirations to settle in the French countryside" — is still exactly what my Pinterest boards are giving. If anything, the dream of tending a tangled garden outside a little cottage feels even stronger now.

What’s missing in my closet isn’t the basics — it’s the lived-in layers, the quirky charm of accessories gathered over decades, the little things that can't be rushed. Much like an established garden that overruns the footpaths, personal style grows slowly, unpredictably, beautifully. You have to plant, water, wait. You have to be patient enough to let it root itself in you.

And so I’m trying. With patience. Letting the pieces find me, little by little, as they always do.
