Rediscovering Style in My 30s (Without Losing My Patience)

In my 20s, I can say I actually enjoyed putting outfits together. It wasn’t about chasing trends. I just liked feeling sharp, like I had my life somewhat together even though it was somewhat chaotic. Picking the right jacket, the right shoes… it was part of how I expressed myself.

Now that I’m in my early 30s, that version of me feels distant. I still want to dress well still want to update my wardrobe but every time I walk into a store, something switches off. I get impatient, annoyed, and usually walk out empty handed. Tbh it’s not even the clothes it’s the process that wears me down. I used to be able to go through racks of clothing and be just fine with that.

I don’t know if it’s just a shift in priorities, or if I’ve simply changed. Maybe the energy I used to spend on style is now spent elsewhere. Maybe I’ll just rather sit at home in peace, cycle, or play video games.

Still, I’d like to find my way back to it. Maybe not with the same energy I had in my 20s, but with a new kind of ease one that fits who I am now.
