THE THREE WORD METHOD DEEP DIVE

Here is how I brought my 'three style words' to life when I felt like I couldn’t translate them into outfits. It is a fun little exercise that you should give a try!

This post is what I want to call an ‘avocado’-post. I feel like this post captures a good basic that is not ripe yet. Still, I wanted to share it at this point and hear your thoughts. I myself will be thinking about these ideas a lot in the future. And I will keep you posted on the process. Enough with the introduction, here is my three-word-method deep dive - beginner class, so to speak.

Allison Bornstein’s three word - method is great but to be honest, for a long time I couldn’t feel my words properly. Until I found a way to translate them.

My ‘three words’ were not that hard to find. I decided they were ‘minimal’, ‘refined’ and ‘edgy’. I am sorry, but it is that boring. My personal style is easy to get. I dress in very minimal pieces, mostly black, beige and white and then there is always one element to break it - if the outfit is a success.

However, I never quite ‘got’ my three words ‘right’. I could never visualize them. So they weren’t very helpful to me at first.

And then I was stuck. I was stuck for a very long time. I could not put my finger on it. I would ask myself what to do with the information. Because that was all they were - information.

That was until I began to play with the words. And here is how I did it.

I took an actual notebook and wrote the three words as columns. Then, I added categories and different associations.
