Top 10 Most Viewed Posts and Style Guide of 2025 at Your True Self Blog
This is my first style post of the new year and as usual I’m sharing the best of Your True Self Blog! If you’re new here, every week I publish a style post late on Tuesday nights to appear on Wednesday mornings and a weekend blog roundup of the Beauty & Style Spotlight Team on Saturday mornings. At the beginning of each year, I present the top ten most popular blog posts of the previous year. As I looked back at 2025, I discovered there are top ten most viewed posts AND a popular style guide as well! In my Shop, I have two style guides so far and one of them attracted a lot of attention. I hope that you will enjoy reading these ten postings and also consider purchasing the featured style guide.
In everything I present, I always like to remind you that age doesn’t matter. When you wear what you love, you’ll enjoy each day of your life more fully!
Below, I’m starting the countdown from number ten to one and then following that up by announcing the featured style guide. Connect to each one by clicking on its headline.
Thanks so much for visiting Your True Self and have a happy 2026!
The Countdown: Most Viewed Posts of 2025
I’ve been surprised and pleased to note that when I write about unconventional styles, they end up being the most popular articles. Each year, the best of Your True Self Blog usually includes feminine clothing that you might normally save for special times; but I always encourage you to wear your special clothes every day and I show you how. I think that makes my blog special. These favorite posts include a variety of textures and colors of interest.
Read on and enjoy!

Haha! We women just need tulle skirts, that’s for sure. You might also like to take another look at my post on Stevie Nicks style to get a little more styling inspiration for a tulle skirt.
You remind me that I really want a tulle skirt again! Looking forward to read your posts in the New Year too!
Thank you, Nancy! Don’t we all want a tulle skirt? The good thing is that it can be dressed down to be useful more than we think.
