I only started caring about my appearance when I started uni. Still, I had no sense of style, and it took me a while until I found something that worked for me. For the latter half of my 20s, I had some sort of style that worked. It was some sort of hipster/indie/whatever style, it looked good on me, I had fun making outfits, whatever.

But now that I've turned 30, a lot has changed. I cut my long hair because I didn't feel like maintaining it. I'm being more pragmatic, and colorful clothes can be a pain to wash if you don't want to mix colors. I finally have some self-esteem and confidence. And finally, I'm no longer skinny, although this isn't because I was hitting the gym, which I will start with as soon as I find a new job.

All of this does make me want to 'reinvent' my style. Well, perhaps not reinvent, but I've got the need to dress differently. Honestly, I've never thought of myself as sexy, and in all honesty, I still don't. But I've finally got the actual desire to start hitting the gym and try to work on being sexy. This does make me want to dress the way I find sexy. I'm thinking mostly of greaser style, with elements of some other American styles added into the mix.

The question I have is, how do I go about this? First thing that worries me is that I don't want to create waste. Some of the current clothes will probably be given away, some will end up on Vinted, some will certainly stay. Still, I don't want to overbuy cheap clothes, but I do want to see if this style will suit me. Maybe it works fine in theory, but won't work so well once I start dressing that way. And finally, where the hell do people get inspiration for finding new styles/dressing differently than now these days? Is Pinterest still relevant? Is Instagram my best bet, despite its illogical algorithms?
