If I had to describe it in brief I guess I'd say "literary lesbian hipstery girl", haha!
I aim for 'elegant, vaguely retro-femme literati', which seems to be in fashion somewhat now among lots of other women my age. I have a bunch of nifty accessories-love my accessories!--which kind of accentuate the overall look. Signature elements are thick-framed cat-eye and square-rimmed glasses, big sunglasses (which all help a ton with my main lingering source of dysphoria, facial bone structure), thick, vivid lipstick, a slim stainless-steel analog Timex watch, a glossy purple wristlet and a clutch on top of my main two purses (one's a nondescript red tote, and the other has a gorgeous amethyst-colored floral design) which I alternate between and try to coordinate with my outfits sometimes, and a black hand folding fan with pretty lattice patterns that I fidget with constantly.
I was recently gifted a pair of black leather gloves that go up my forearm. I occasionally use a black umbrella as a parasol, especially if I'm going to be directly in the sun for any length of time (I'm a nocturnal vampire who doesn't spend time outside very often). Jewelry includes an antique cameo brooch (I'm fond of the look of those, though they're rare these days), and a handful of necklaces I have, and that's pretty much it.
I'm sure you get the drift--it's almost kind of noir-like, like I stepped out of a film from the mid-20th century.
I recently started smoking cigarettes off and on and I think I'd look fantastic with one of those long, sleek cigarette holders, but I'll probably quit before I can get one.
Perhaps "villainess-chic" could describe my style on certain days, IDK...
Cloche and a couple velvety 'Baker boy' hats, floppy sun hats, some that are sorta in between.
Lots of colorful scarves!
I have a decent-sized shoe assortment, various boots, and my favorites are two pairs of "Dexflex" flats, one black and one red. They're super comfy, fit my feet, and compliment most of my outfits perfectly. I have a pair of Keds my mom got me too for more casual summery wear, some sandals, clogs for around the house, etc.
I'm kind of fixated on outerwear, coats have always been my favorite garment, and I adore long trench coats/dusters and wear them constantly even indoors. For whatever reasons it's comforting and makes me feel safe and secure to wear long coats. I also have a couple insulated, shorter coats for heavy winter weather (one purple, one pink).
With respect to clothing, in the last year or so I've shifted towards a more modest style, as a result of a gradual shift in my personal value system. I used to wear colored-denim skinny jeans, but I never wear pants in public anymore and haven't for quite some time--just maxi skirts, preferably ankle-length and razor-pleated. Usually nice button-up blouses, but I also often just wear T-shirts or other long-sleeve tops under layers of cardigans and such.
All my attire is thrifted, pretty much.
But yeah, that's my overall style! I love it, it makes me feel very comfortable, authentic and confident, so I imagine it'll probably be like this for the foreseeable future.
