Athleisure Meets Grunge

My sense of style is very athleisure meets grunge. I love adidas and Nike and some of my style inspirations are Karreuche Tran, Ariana Grande, the Kardashians, the 90’s era, and DJ Noodz. I’m very petite so I like to play with form fitting tops and loose fitting bottoms. Most days I just dress very comfy, with sweatshirts and jeans but when I go out to concerts and events I like to dress up like my style inspirations. I also appreciate fast fashion stores like forever 21 when I need to buy basic or on trend pieces. My favorite accessories are hoops, nice kicks and leather jackets.


Lately, I have been trying to recreate my entire wardrobe because I realized that I was holding on to many clothes that fit me but no longer fit my style. I was holding on to those pieces of clothing because I was raised to believe that if they still fit, I should try to find use in them. But my dresser and closet was becoming overfilled and i realized that no matter what, i was not reaching for those pieces because they no longer spoke to who I was as a person. Watching Tidying Up with Marie Kondo helped me to realize that as well, since her approach is to identify which of your things spark joy in your life. Thus, I have let go of many items to make room for things I will appreciate and use more in my life. This has been revolutionary for my way of dressing as well since I have let go of many things that let me buy more that made sense for me and the person that I want to become.
