I am in my 30s and still drawn to anything twee, girly, and frilly like a magpie. Granted I am in my early 30s but I do at times still wonder how I come across to other people. There is not an item in my wardrobe that is not pink, cream or white and pretty much everything has bows, peter pan collar, beads, lace, flowers, tulle, and in either pastels or cream/white. 70% of my summer wardrobe that I have added this year are from ted baker. Even books, movies, and music that I like can be described as twee.
I do very much realise that my style is influenced by the way young women dress in Japan, Korea, China or Taiwan though I would say the Japanese super feminine and girly.
My problem is I do realise it really makes me stand out from other people and feel very self conscious about it. I also worry about coming across as ditzy or vapid when this is really not the case. I did the IB and studied english lit at uni but people still can talk in a bit of a patronising talk to me especially during more deep discussions. I want to try tone it down a bit, I tried change my style and failed as I just did not feel like me at all so was hoping for some advice.
