Own Your Style:

When it comes to style, we are all different and like different things. However, it is super important to dress in clothes that you love and that make you feel fabulous.

Style is something that constantly evolves as we go by in our busy lives, but you do have to find the one that speaks to you.  My style has definitely evolved over the years, but one thing that stayed the same is I won’t buy or wear anything that I don’t feel amazing in.

I definitely love dressier clothes; dresses, heels, skirts and of course I love my bags. My favourite clothing colours are blacks, nudes and pinks, but over the years I learned how to incorporate more vibrant colours into my wardrobe as well. The key here is to not shy away from experimenting.

So how do you find your personal style?  I put together a few tips to help you.

1. Find a few people whose style you love and that feels the most authentic for you. Use Instagram and Pintrest for your inspiration. Look through the photos, looks and see what speaks to you. Then pick a few words that describe your look (casual, dressy, classic, etc); that will help you down the road with finding the right outfits. Also, take a few selfies of the outfits you feel fabulous in, it will serve as inspiration for future outfits and spin offs.

2. Find a signature staple that you feel great in that you can mix and match with many other outfits. For example if you feel fabulous in black tops, then work your wardrobe around it and pair it up with colourful skirts, pants and shorts.

3. Which body part do you love showing off? If you have fabulous legs, short dresses and skirts will be your go to and you will work the rest of the wardrobe around it. If you have an hourglass figure then use belts to cinch it and wear clothes that show off your waist . If you love your arms and shoulders then use off shoulder and low back tops…you see where I’m going with this.

4. When finding your style, don’t just focus on the clothes. Your overall look is huge. How you wear your hair, what type of makeup you use and what accessories you love will play a huge role into your overall style. And again don’t forget it will evolve with time and will also depend on your mood.

5. Have fun with it! Fashion and style is all about attitude and when you feel fabulous, it shows. For example, right now I am into having my hair curled and very little makeup. However, in a few months I may want to wear more makeup and straighten my hair. It’s ok to change as long as you are having fun and feeling great.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment below. Also let me know in the comments what style you have and if it changed over time.

As always, stay fabulous!
