It is easy for anyone to be "in fashion" but it is a whole other ball game to have style. Style is about knowing who you are and showing that to the world through your garments. Style is natural it is all about tuning into it. There are no rules, no seasons and no herd to follow. Style comes from within and affords you opportunities. I think the biggest mistake a lot of people make is thinking having style is wearing the latest trends. However, this is the worst thing someone can do because a lot of trends will not look good on every body type. We must dress for our own unique bodies to make us look our best. (that is another topic I will get into another day!) It is important to stay true to yourself because trends come and go but style that is forever!!
After years of purging my closet and starting over I have finally come to realize what my personal style is, a mix of Audrey Hepburn and Madonna with a twist. I love anything with sequins/stripes, sweaters, statement jewelry, 5 inch heels, skinny pants, and one of a kind jackets. When shopping I really look for unique pieces to add to my wardrobe, I am way more picky then I use to be. I keep evolving my look and expanding it with different pieces to add a new way to wear a certain outfit. Buying a garment just because its a good deal or its the trend of the season will only make a closet full of no style!
What is your personal style??
