Style Evolution

Personal Rebrand
Written By Tara Derington

Prompt: How has your personal style evolved over the years? What has stayed consistent, and what have you outgrown?

I’ve never had a defined style—my wardrobe was more about convenience than self-expression. But now, I’m intentionally crafting a look that feels authentic, effortless, and distinctly mine.

I’m embracing Octogenarian Art Teacher energy—linen pants, flowing layers, textured scarves, and deep autumn tones—balancing comfort with creative polish. As I grow in my executive creative career, I want a style that feels distinct, professional, and aligned with my evolving identity.

I’m letting go of the idea that style is an afterthought. My wardrobe isn’t just about clothes—it’s about showing up in the world as the person I’m becoming.
