Hi beloved community of women over 30! 🫶🏽 I (F31, Canadian) have recently been more interested in colour and design in all aspects of my life- my home, classroom (I am a teacher), art/painting, and my fashion sense. I’ve just noticed I feel uplifted and enjoy life more when I curate designs around (and on) me, and spend time soaking in the beauty of things. 💛
Fashion/style is the ‘sub-category’ of this recently kindred interest that is the most daunting to me. I just kinda follow my instinct and am trying to better match clothes to my shape (more of a pear) and colouring (dusky-dark complexioned South Asian). As I gain momentum just kinda throwing spaghetti at the wall (metaphorically), I have the desire to gain a bit more knowledge about fashion/style. Some things I’d love to know more about are…
– How to dress for shape/colouring/to an extent, age as well.
– What the different styles of fashion are e.g. bohemian vs. timeless and everything in between.
– Seasonal attire/trends.
– Putting together whole outfits and accessorizing/dressing up/dressing down.
– Sustainable and ethical fashion, sewing, tips for searching for good deals or thrifting.
– Lastly, and perhaps the most daunting, how to style hair.
Ack!!! I’m realizing this is a very long list but these are truly all things I would like to know more about little by little over time. I tried adding interesting articles to my Pinterest account, but I am hardly ever on Pinterest, and I am often on Reddit. So…any subreddit suggestions for any/all of these points of interest? Eagerly waiting responses and suggestions, and thank you in advance! ☺️
