Defining My Aesthetic

Written By Sabine Curter

Prompt: If your personal style had a name, what would it be? (Think: Cozy Academic, Edgy Minimalist, etc.) What words best describe the aesthetic you want to embody?

If my personal style had a name, it would be Octogenarian Art Teacher—a blend of effortless layers, rich textures, and artistic eccentricity with a polished edge. I want my wardrobe to feel moody, intentional, and lived-in, built around linen pants, flowing vests, oversized cardigans, and deep autumn tones. Accessories like statement glasses, long necklaces, and textured scarves add personality without feeling overdone.

As a woman in an executive creative role, I’ve noticed that successful women in this field cultivate a distinctive yet professional presence. I want my style to reflect confidence, creativity, and expertise, keeping doors open while staying true to myself.

This isn’t just about fashion—it’s about embodying the life I’m building, where creativity and confidence coexist effortlessly.

Sabine is the voice behind The Unbound Sky — a space for women untaming themselves from the scripts they never chose. She writes from the quiet, unglamorous work of choosing yourself: the boundaries, the slow mornings, the small acts nobody claps for. Childfree, unconventional, and done explaining herself, Sabine believes a woman's worth was never up for debate. She's usually outside, trusting the timing, taking up space without apology.
