Minimalism means different things to different people. Most aesthetic descriptors do, after all. While I wouldn’t say that I would never take the “all black” route to a minimalist aesthetic, it’s not generally my preferred approach. I like colours too much. And prints. And sparkly things. So this is a good example of “minimalist, Adina-style”. A small colour palette (but featuring one bright colour) heavily reliant on black, with a bit of visual interest — some bling, some mix of textures.
I enjoyed this casual outfit a lot. It was comfortable but made me feel put-together without it being either too “calculated” or too boring. This is, basically, the closest I’ll ever get to the mythic French style. I have no idea if an actual French woman would wear this, but that’s kind of besides the point, in the end. I think what everyone is really chasing is the feeling we associated with those images or the idea of effortlessly cool women. Tell me, peeps: what do you think?
Great outfit! I’m digging your new minimalist look đŸ˜€
Thanks, Nally!
Super cute & polished. Tres French. The Pants remind me of a JCrew pair of mustard cords I have … Always loved those pants.
Mustard pants are the best, aren’t they? It can be a hard colour to wear close to the face, but it’s so fun & versatile otherwise.
I love this look on you đŸ™‚ You’ll fit right in in Paris.
Aww, merci! I wish I were going!
You look very rocker chic. I like it on you! It’s definitely a departure from your usual style, but you work it well.
I think it’s part of the evolution of my style. It’s definitely what feels most comfortable to me right now.
Love it! It’s edgy yet polished and those pants are awesome.
Looks great! It’s actually really interesting, with the textures, accessories and of course the mustard pants.
