Thank you for your wonderful newsletters, Irene! I love how your style has a lot of range while remaining true to your point of view. Which prompted an idea for a possible post. Among the people whose style I admire, some are highly consistent almost to the point of having a uniform (Patti Smith for example), some are consistent but playful (like Dame Vivienne Westwood), others are playful to the point of chameleonic, but always themselves. For years, I wore a "uniform" when I was in the architecture field in New York and L.A.. Lots of black, navy, and grey; boots, structure, blazers! Since working remotely and moving outside the city I am drawn to looser, freer silhouettes that are still urban and modern (Tibi pieces for example) but I also sometimes gravitate to boho dresses. I'd love to read a post about the joy and limits of range in personal style. Some of those boho dresses haven't made it out of my closet. When they do, it's because something about them still feels like me, or they work with a shoe or boot that feels like me. Thanks again for your compelling work here!
Ooh ;). I really look forward to your perspective on the subject! I so appreciate your thoughtful, pro yet relatable, approach to the topic of style. I always get a little thrill when I see a new IMV post ready for avid reading.
Thanks for reading, Sarah! I'm still deciding on the them because they are bit tight on my bunion. I'll decide by this weekend and will let you know. xo

Thank you for reading, Emmanuelle! This is such a thoughtful question and I see an essay devoted to it in the near future ;).
