How I'm Honing my Personal Style Into my 30s

Mollye Rivera

Your 20s are weird. You’re in this time of technically being an adult but also trying to figure out who you are. I had a pretty standard upbringing in which I was taught that you go to school, you get a job in a stable industry, and that’s just what you do. But personally, I’ve always kind of gone against the grain. School for me was just a means to an end, and my first job was really just a foot in the door. One thing has always been consistent for me: my love for fashion. 

In the midst of figuring out who you are, your 20s can also be a time to figure out what style feels the most like you. Looking back, my 20s were filled with “trying.” I tried to be the preppy sorority girl, the indie sleaze girl, the grungy girl, the corporate girl, the creative casual girl, and finally the confident Brand Director I know I am. Throughout those different eras I have started to understand what makes me feel like the best, most confident self and what doesn’t.
