    I didn't think I had an aesthetic but I've been told that I dress like a (sometimes chic) librarian for a decade. Lol. I am an academic and my first job was in a library so I guess I'm predictable.
    But thank you for this! As someone who has a large bust/soft body type, blazers are so hard! I have a couple but they had to be tailored and I only wear them for conferences. 🥀

    • @cocoastyling

I'm learning so much. I thought my style was gamine, but you've revealed so many other styles. Even better, is that I have elements of all of them in my closet.
    Keep up the great work!

    Got here so fast! Good job again! Also, the birds make for nice ambiance! If you’re going to make short videos, they could probably just focus on smaller parts that make up a look. For example, Cottage core hairstyles, Preppy accessories, Soft winter makeup looks... this way, you already have the material and you could just make shorter and easier to find videos for them. 🌷

      With brighter colors, I would say adding some Y2K elements could be it, because soft is usually pastel. You could also try light, but not too pastel colors.
