So today I wanted to figure out this whole “Touch of Style” thing people keep buzzing about online. Honestly, I didn’t get it at first – just sounded like fancy fashion talk to me. Started like I always do: scrolling through posts on my phone early this morning, still in my pajamas. Saw it pop up everywhere. “What are people actually talking about?” I mumbled into my coffee.
The Curious Click & Initial Confusion
Finally tapped on a random post. Boom. Tons of outfit pictures flooded my screen. Some looked effortlessly cool, others way outta my comfort zone. Scrolled down fast, feeling kinda overwhelmed. “Touch of Style,” according to this one influencer, was basically about finding that one special thing – a piece of clothing, an accessory, something – that makes an outfit feel uniquely you. Okay, simple enough, maybe. But how do you actually do that?
Digging Deeper & My Wardrobe Adventure
Decided I needed practical examples, not just theory. Shoved my coffee aside and marched upstairs to my closet. Time for an experiment! Stared at my clothes – lots of basics, safe stuff. Pulled out my go-to outfit: plain dark jeans and a simple white tee. Felt solid, but honestly? Kinda boring. Zero “touch” anywhere.
Attempt #1: Grabbed a bright red scarf I never wear. Draped it messy around my neck. Looked in the mirror… Meh. Felt forced, like I was trying too hard. Tossed it aside.
Attempt #2: Saw my old leather jacket hanging sadly. Threw that on over the tee and jeans. Better! Added some edge. But still missing something. Needed a point of interest.
The “Aha!” Moment: Remembered these funky silver bird earrings buried in my jewelry box. Seriously dusty. Put those on. Buttoned up the jacket. Looked again. Okay! The leather gave toughness, the bright tee underneath kept it fresh, and the weird bird earrings? They added that odd little spark. Felt pulled together, but also kinda me. Didn’t feel like I was copying someone else.
The Recording & Sharing Part
Wanted to share this little journey. Snapped a quick mirror selfie (not my best angle, hate that). Jotted down my process:
- Started basic: Dark jeans, white tee.
- Layer + Edge: Leather jacket.
- The “Touch”: Funky silver bird earrings.
- Felt: Comfortable, put together, but with a bit of unexpected fun.
Posted it alongside my rambling thoughts about what a “Touch of Style” means to me now: it’s that one little unexpected thing you add that makes a regular outfit feel special and personal.
What Happened? Lessons Learned
Honestly? The whole thing was messier than I expected. I ripped half my closet out hunting for that “touch.” But it clicked when I stopped trying to find something new and looked for something I already owned but never used. It wasn’t about buying the trendiest item. It was about using what I have, adding one piece that expresses a little personality. Bathrobe over the tee? No thank you. Cool earrings? Yes please. Still figuring this out, but my boring white tee days might be numbered!
