Hey guys!
Hope
you all are enjoying your Spring 2018! Spring is a little tricky because it
seems to be either to cool or too hot but I’ll take it over the cold any day.
With the weather changing I know a lot of people are thinking about what to
wear in the months to come so today I wanted to talk about personal style. What
is personal style? Why is it important and how do we define it?
Personal
style is a “signature style”. It is personalized based on your character
and captures the essence of who you are. It allows people to know who you are
from the moment they look at you. It’s your “First Impression”. Some people
will argue that clothes don’t define you, but the truth is, it expresses who
you are. As time passes, your style will change but it also tells a store about
who you are in that moment. I feel it is important to have a personal style
because it’s an outward expression of your inward self. Some people can
careless about getting dress, but we all have to do it so why not do it your
way?
Defining
a personal style isn’t easy for everyone. I have been through a lot of trial
and error but once I determined what mine, was it made my life a lot easier.
It’s easier for me to shop, get dressed and maintain an overall image allowing
me to express who I am. Luck for you guys, I have some tips on how to design
your personal style.
1.
Think about your most comfortable outfit. What outfits do you
wear that makes you feel the prettiest, sexiest and most a live. If you wanted
to impress someone, what would you wear? What is your go to outfit for parties,
dinner dates etc. Once you have recognized that, you are getting closer to
defining your personal style. Knowing what makes you feel your best is more
than likely the style you want to own. The idea is not to dress for other
people but for your self so that you can be your happiest self.
2.
Think about your lifestyle. What do you do every day? Where do
you work? Where do you hang out? Knowing this will give you some ground rules
or how you should dress. You can take one look and cater it to every aspect of
your life and create a style that’s realistic to who you are.
3.
Decide if the look that you want to go for is feasible for you
financially. What companies will accommodate your look as well as you budget?
Would shopping fast fashion companies make more sense for you or is it better
to spend more money on timeless pieces? Does your budget allow you to follow
trends or are you better off going to a thrift shop?
I just wanted
to share with you some key points to consider when trying to create a personal
style that will help you be your authentic self. I will touch on these topics
more in depth in future post but just wanted to give you something to start
with. I hope you guys got something out of this post and that it will help you.
Until next time.....
Keep It Stylish,
XOXO
