Thank you so much, I am so happy it resonated with you! I’m going to expand out the archetypes into their own mini series. This comment made my day honestly

I am firmly signature most of the time. I am unbothered on the rare instances in which my life demands too much of me to be as intentional with my outfits as I would like, but as each item was chosen with intention when it was bought, it gives off this aura. On other rare occasions I am seeker, if I am going through a period of transformation in my life (this used to happen quite frequently but it has since slowed down as I develop a more clear sense of self) in style, this usually involves me experimenting with how I want this new version of myself to look, but every version as of late has embraced a more nuanced alteration rather than a jarring rebrand. And every year, at the very beginning of off season (I am an athlete) I become ghost, because I am quite frankly too tired to get out of bed for a week or so at a time, and barely lack the capacity to think straight, let alone care about what I look like. It is a depressing but necessary time of rest.

Thank you so much! It’s truly a passion of mine. ’m going to do more deep dives into each archetype to get more into the nitty gritty.
