What's your aesthetic

What's your aesthetic?

It could be described by what you like to wear, or what you wish you wore, or your favorite book, your favorite colors/combinations, your favorite activities... whatever floats your boat! I thought it might be fun to see how we all see/imagine ourselves.

And, of course, you could also describe what you see another CBer's aesthetic as!

For example,

- I enjoy fantasy worlds, but I generally prefer well-crafted stories based on fairy tales over dragon epics with lore a mile deep.

- I wear a lot of forest and olive greens because a) it's like, the best color to wear as a redhead, and b) I love elven/fairycore stuff. I'm also a fan of solid colors over designs/graphics and into watercolor brights and pastels as well. I much prefer comfort over bling.

- Dark colors. I'm an introvert who likes to remain inconspicuous, yet intriguing. I love a good mystery when I can find one, and even more so when I can be one.

I actually got interested and looked up aesthetics - did you know that there is literally a Coastal Grandmother aesthetic??

Anyway, I still haven't found an existing one that actually matches what I think of as my aesthetic... I'd say I kind of go for glamorous stuff (which means my own idea of glam, not necessarily what's generally thought of as glamorous) mixed with more real genuine things?? I often don't like the actual trends out there.

Anyway, I tend to like bright colors and elegant-but-girly things? I don't think elegant is quite the right word - I don't like to be too formal, but I don't like stuff that's just plain or baggy or sloppy. So for instance, I really like to wear skinny jeans (either light blue or medium, bright blue, not navy or dull blue) and ankle boots and some sort of pretty t-shirt, with a few accessories like a bracelet to add something extra. 

In general I guess my aesthetic is (following Silver Crystal's example here :D) sunsets, sea-green and peach color combos, garnets, the excited hush of wonder that falls over a room when everyone realizes it's raining, golden sunlight in the evenings, family evenings round a fire, evening dresses, Japanese maple leaves glowing against a blue sky, Carlos Baute songs, dewdrops on the grass, the list goes on :)
