Um, are we the same person? 😂 Fwiw I've tried to circumvent the "What's my style OMG WHO AM I" meltdowns by making it less of an absolute and instead just asking myself, "How do I want to feel today? What message do I want to send to others? Which clothes are functionally appropriate (for my planned activities/contexts/weather/etc)?" And then try to approach fulfilling those needs with what I already have as a creative challenge. But I also drive Martin to the point of despair asking for feedback about the results. :)
I do really like the yellow! And if it makes you feel better, I have literally conducted surveys (for work!) with thousands of respondents to identify the most appealing shade of dark grey and whether matching icons to it make it feel more harmonious. Your loved ones should be grateful you didn't break out the eye tracker ;).
Haha omg Anna, I've just seen this now. I can absolutely picture the scene with you and Martin -_-. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's gone nuts over this.
(I like the yellow!) I can definitely relate to what you've written about, even though I'm in a different demographic. While people like to say that once you reach a certain age, you can do whatever you want and look however, the actual message coming through via the media is quite different. Is it OK to have gray hair, or not? Is it OK to put on some weight, or not? Is it OK to not always "dress to impress," or not? Personal style has definitely been turned into a business, and it affects people (women more than men, in my opinion) of all ages.
