Is There a Theme to Your Wardrobe?

When defining your style, honesty is the best policy. Make selections based on what looks good, what fits, what is on trend, what works with your lifestyle and how it makes you feel when you wear it.

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Is there a theme to your wardrobe? Is there a predominant amount of one color? Maybe a rainbow of patterns in a variety of colors. Are there more jeans than a Gap Outlet? Maybe your wardrobe is all about the business without fun or comfy styles.

These garments make up your wardrobe and this represents your personal style. Now that this is apparent, are you disappointed or enlightened? Have no fear, be empowered to define or of course, redefine your personal style.

Personal style isn’t a label that limits you. It’s an ever-evolving expression that isn’t confined to one specific “look”. With the variety of activities juggled, we have unlimited options to show off the personality in our garment and accessory expression.

Indecisive people who think they have no personal style aren’t off the hook. We all have personal style. Some may just need to work on developing or refining it, but it’s there.

Step one to defining your style is to look to your style icons. It is probably impossible to select one celebrity. We may like a mix of style personalities.

One for their casual flair and another for their cutting-edge club style. You could like t-shirts, jeans and maxi dresses but throw a little boho chic in the mix.

Personal style isn’t a label that limits you. It’s an ever-evolving expression that isn’t confined to one specific “look”. With the variety of activities juggled, we have unlimited options to show off the personality in our garment and accessory expression.

Clarify, Define Your Style

Looking like soccer a mom on Saturday afternoon and going for supermodel style Saturday night is not out of the realm of possibilities. You just need to know what you like, what you’re comfortable in, what size is correct, consider your lifestyle and activities and be willing to let go of things that just don’t work for you.

When defining your style, honesty is the best policy. Make selections based on what looks good, what fits, what is on trend, what works with your lifestyle and how it makes you feel when you wear it.

Second, after finding inspirational photos, don’t focus on names, just outfits. Pick a few words to describe the vibe of the looks. Use words like ladylike, romantic, casual, modern, edgy, bohemian, or classic to describe what you see. Finding a handful of words that feel true to your style will help you clarify and define your style.

Make sure to snap those selfies on the days you feel like you rock your look. This sets the tone for your personal style. When you feel like you look your best, you are confident and beautiful. These are the looks that should dominate your fashion selections.

Is there a piece that draws compliments every time you wear it? Find out what it is about the piece. Does it accentuate or flatter your figure? Does the color make you glow?

Work with these compliments to define your shopping selections even if you are shopping from your own closet putting together your new and improved wardrobe. This is the criteria that should apply.

Lastly, don’t forget the frills. Make up and accessories are the icing on the muffin that makes it a cupcake…so to speak. These things can take a simple style and give it personality.

Show the flair of your personality. It might be a simple look with a little mascara, lip gloss and subtle jewelry or a glamour look with bold eye-catching accessories.
