What's Your Style?

I have tried to figure out how to post pictures from the Internet onto my blog. I haven't had any success. I want to post pictures of everyday women/girls in all sorts of cute looks. You know, the ones they come up with that look effortless and right. I think I might get brave enough to just start taking them on my own (with the person's permission of course) and posting them. I love the mags that show the stylish girls on the street. I find it so interesting to know what their profession is and where their clothes came from. Was it a designer or a consignment shop? I'm also the kind that notices the clothes in movie scenes, reads the little print that tells who the designer is and the price in a magazine layout, reads fabric labels, and mentally re-dresses people in the mall I(I could sit and people watch for quite a while!). I've said before even if I don't like it, I love someone that works a "look". Whether it's boho, classic, vintage, or glamorous, if it's done right, it looks good. I think I am a variety of styles on any given day. There are certain pieces I love that I'll always use like.... my cowboy boots, casual skirts, 1 or 2 pair of great jeans, fun tops, and a variety of nice cardigans. These choices kinda land me in a more casual group. It all depends on mood, the next day I might choose a pencil skirt and pumps. What style are you? Have you bought something thinking "it's not me"? More than likely, you won't wear it if you have. I do encourage my clients to branch out, but take baby steps. There is nothing worse than buying an item and having it sit in your closet reminding you of your mistake. My best advice is, stay with-in your comfort zone but on occasion, include a really great top, shoe, skirt, or accessory you may not normally wear. Make sure it works with an outfit you already own and you will be more likely to wear it. Figure out your style by taking inventory of your wardrobe and see what category most of the pieces fall into. You probably already know. Do you lean toward the artsy, bohemian look? Or, do you have a closet full of carpi's, cardigans, and button up tops? More than likely, you also stick to one or two stores. That's a big clue to your type too. Again, all of that sameness is fine but you run the risk of becoming staid and predictable. Try and be on top of things and know when to bring in another opinion and a fresh eye. It will help in keeping clothing current and in style. You don't need to overhaul your style, it is a reflection of your personality, just weed out what doesn't work anymore and add a few things that will accentuate and keep your wardrobe fresh. Style doesn't just encompass clothing, it can refer to many aspects of your life, but the way you dress is usually what others notice first. As always, call if you need me and enjoy these last, wonderful summer days....
