... Read moreWhen it comes to personal style, finding inspiration is key. NYC's fashion scene, especially brands like AERO1987, often serves as a backdrop for countless unique interpretations. The creative process can sometimes lead to results that diverge from the original vision, but embracing these differences is what makes fashion so exciting. In this journey, I realized that not everything needs to mirror the reference perfectly; rather, it should reflect your unique tastes and personality. In today's fashion world, influences range from street style to high fashion, and everyone has a different way of expressing their individuality. Documents and articles on fashion trends indicate a rise in creative interpretations and personal styling, which often results in exquisite outcomes that resonate more with personal expression than strict adherence to an image. Tips for cultivating your unique style include experimenting with various looks, incorporating statement pieces, and not being afraid to mix different styles, colors, and patterns. This exploration of self-expression allows for a more personalized wardrobe that tells your unique story. As you refine your style, consider the balance between inspiration and individuality. Learn to appreciate the moments where your results differ from the initial reference. Such experiences not only contribute to personal growth in fashion but also enrich your perspective on what style truly means. Fashion is not just about mimicking an image; itโ€™s about feeling confident and comfortable in your expression.

Tried a new nail tech at the salon I go to, and I think she did a pretty good job. Im a bit picky with shaping. I requested tapered square and, in my opinion, these (mine) arenโ€™t as โ€œtaperedโ€ as I like HOWEVER, Iโ€™m still satisfied. I used the first pic as INSPO. I did not want an exact replica.
