Summer Style
New aesthetic, unlocked.
None of that phased me.
In fact, its the simplest, most wearable trends that scare me.
Cottagecore, tenniscore, and the clean girl aesthetic have intimidated me since their inception.
Their innate wearability is in complete opposition to my lifelong love of the sartorially weird.
Heres how I modernized the cookie-cutter aesthetic.
This meant my singular eyelet skirt, a never-wornPolo Ralph Lauren cap, and my crab-emblazoned zodiac sweater.
(This water sign was, indeed, water sign-ing.)
Law-abiding citizen that I am, I followed suit (sweater?
), using my whimsical knit as an accessory.
Who would have thought the dreaded TikTok aesthetic could feel so authentically me?
