Eclectic Love 1: Black and Gold and Sequins

The other day, I had a revelation: I can't stick to any one style because my dream style is eclectic.

***Dictionary break: according to dictionary.com, eclectic is an adjective describing things:
 "not following any one system, as of philosophy, medicine, etc., but selecting and using what are considered the best elements of all systems"

I'm not sure if this is an actual style, or just me inventing a name for whatever the hell I am since I don't know what style I'm actually identifying with; but I'm sick of trying to decide between all the things I love. The end result is that I'm just going to go with my gut and wear what I like, with whatever the hell  I want.

Another result is that I have been spending a lot of time browsing lately, looking at things I do like, and thinking about how I can get them in my wardrobe. And since I've been seeing so much awesome stuff, and I can't buy it all (1. for money reasons, and 2. for storage reasons), the obvious conclusion is to share it was you guys in the hopes that it will fit into one of your dream styles. This was the conception of Eclectic Love, and today is it's birth, so without further ado, Eclectic Love 1:


When I say this dress, I had so many thoughts and ideas about what to wear it with (stacks of gold bangles! a turquoise long sleeve crew neck and gold+turquoise shoes!), but I decided that I don't really need another black and gold maxi dress, so I resisted.

How would you define your personal style?

Love,
Rosie

* Yes, I know the listing says tunic, but I consider it a maxi dress.

  1. My personal style would be a mix of classic pieces with a modern flair. I don't have a name for it either, but if I dress out of a JCrew/ Club Monaco catalog everyday, I wouldn't complain ;o)

  10. '"Eclectic'' style is a great style to have!

    I would probably lean towards ''girlie'', because I love florals, rarely wear anything other than dresses and a frill, ruffle or sequin delights me so!
