Love this Tina! And your dreamy outfits at the end 😍 I’ve a tiger print rixo dress which I’ve paired with a check blazer before but I never thought to pair it with more animal print - genius! Do you follow Bárbara Santiago? Her style is so fun x
I definitely skew maximalist, have for YEARS, possibly since high school (c. 1984-5). Ganni is lovely! Maximalist shoes goes to John Fluevog (check it out - I wear them 3-5 days a week), and they are sustainably made in small factories, and it's a Canadian-owned brand. There's a big resell market for them too (the Fluemarket).
I shop secondhand for 95% of my clothes, from thrift to designer consignment (the 5% is Fluevog, which I buy with gift cards, which I ask for for birthdays, Christmas, etc.). My personal life goal is to help others express themselves through their clothes, and to shop locally in secondhand stores. Keep on rocking, Tina!
Sheila, your dedication to secondhand is amazing and I definitely connect John Fluevog with maximalism. Also, I'm in awe of you hitting over 4.3K posts on your blog. Congratulations!
I’m a maximalist. I tried being a minimalist but I found it so bland and stifling to my self expression. When everyone was wearing beige everything I felt like the fashion industry was punking us.
Your Proenza outfit is something I’m going to dream about forever now.
I get what you're saying about beige, although I have to be honest I loveee Mocha Mousse. You do maximalism so well, your leopard print Adidas are making me rethink my white sneakers.
I'm a minimalist at heart. Probably 90% of my wardrobe. But the other 10%, velvet blazers, leather pants and sequins. It's the maximalist items that make things FUN and personal.
Okay, not to point you towards MORE fashion influencers who might catch your eye for their maximalist style, but... TikTok has a wealth of folks that are sustainable (or otherwise) maximalist fashion ICONS and I must share some of their handles!! Caroline Vazzana (@cvazzana), Sara Camposarcone (@saracampz), Jaclyn ??? (@lolfashiondump), Victoria West (@victoriawestofficial)!!! Also, I too have seen the move towards maximalism with things like Junk Journalling and Clustering (or #cluttercore). Highly recommend watching a few videos on these two topics because they're equally as mesmerizing as they are anxiety inducing for me, personally, because I hate clutter lol.
Oooh, thanks for these recs! Jaclyn and Victoria West are new to me, excited to check them out. I'm also not into clutter, but it's fascinating how much traction these hashtags have gotten on social, especially their ties to treat culture.
I don't know if those last two outfits resonate with you anymore since I know you are a more minimalist dresser- BUT I love them on you. I, obviously, find myself somewhere in between ;)

Ooh, I love Rixo - their older pieces especially. Thanks for the suggestion to follow Barbara Santiago, her style is so fun!

Have I really posted that many?? I haven’t looked for a while. 😳 Thanks, Tina!💕
I saw the number on your latest post and was so impressed :)
Seriously, the years have flown by!
Gahhhhhhhhh that Ganni dress omg. I love Ganni and this is such a good one. Thanks for pulling all this inspiration together!!!
Thank you Emily :) I love Ganni for so many reasons. It took over a year to find that dress secondhand, it's one of their unicorns for sure.

I’ve heard leopard being referred to as a neutral many times if that helps 😉

Yes, love that! It's always the statement pieces that give your outfits personality :)
I love the Proenza outfit on you!
It’s interesting that no one in your poll so far has confessed to being a maximalist.
Thanks so much Sita - I've worn that outfit into the ground. I'm so intrigued to see if the poll picks up any maximalists in the next week.

Kelly, you are too kind! I was totally thinking of Midimalist as I wrote my poll since it perfectly describes "somewhere in between".
