This idea of a style Mother Tongue is brilliant, and brilliantly executed here. I want to read a coffee table book called Mother Tongue with pictures of the inspo and the outcome; basically I just want more of this exact post.
Amazing concept! This checks out. In kindergarten I lived in a cut-off denim/flannel vest over a long sleeved black body suit, leggings and a denim mini and high tops. While I don’t own the same outfit now, I still feel most drawn to the FlashDance staples of welder/ballerina; weather beaten boxy industrial meets curve hugging femme fatale. Our taste was true when we were young and free, I love the return to that.
Your style has a mother tongue, and it probably developed long before you knew what personal style even meant. New today: 4 women on why your happiest years might be your greatest style resource.

Thank you!! I’m endlessly fascinated by it. So good to hear it resonated. Maybe the book comes next…!

It's time for a welder/ballerina-core revival! Our taste really was the best when we were young and free!
I love the idea of a style mother tongue, such an inspiring way of cutting out the trend noise and finding what feels true again
Thank you, I'm glad to hear it. And "finding what feels true again" it such a beautiful way to define it.
