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!

Whimsigoth style blends elements of goth and whimsy, balancing light and dark . It fits right in with the Fall trend of Dark Romance. And it’s also great for the Spooky Season of October (see my post on that here.) It’s got a little bit of Gypsy (see post here) and a little bit of Stevie Nicks style (here.) And the whimsy of it makes Goth more modern and approachable for every day. Add a touch or two or wear it to the max, whatever feels like your true self. Age doesn’t matter! Martha Stewart even announced that it’s Fall’s biggest home trend.

I love the flowing, eclectic, colorful and embellished outfits put together in the gypsy style. It’s free-spirited. You can dress for your true self, and age doesn’t matter. When doing photo searches for this blog, I often see artistic women of a certain age in multi-color, sweeping skirts with loads of jewelry.

An offshoot of Gypset — a style adopted by jet-setters who have travelled the globe — modern gypsy style is likened to a global, bohemian style. It is an exotic combination of tribal, art deco, hippie, ethnic, gothic and of course vintage. Today’s generation has a refreshed interest in this way of dressing and has renamed it “gypsycore.”
