Style Defined
“Style is a way to say who you are, without having to speak.”
Before I get started, let me be the first to say that I’m not a fashion, or style expert. I’m just a woman, that’s living life, and trying to look good while doing it. The quote above says it best, your style speaks volumes about you before you ever say a word.
Over the years, my personal fashion style has changed so much. I’m sure that many of you will agree, that as you’ve matured, so has your sense of style.
My two personal style mottos, used to sound something like…
“If it aint tight, it aint right.”
“If it aint short, abort.”
I just literally made those up as I was typing this post.
Seriously though, I was trying to find the words to describe what my personal style is in 2019. I didn’t have the slightest clue. So, I did what anyone would do at the point of confusion. I went to my best friend, Google. (My BFF always has the answers.)
I found quite a few personal style quizzes online, that guesses your personal style based off a few questions. Visual Therapy, MagiQuiz and The Quiz were some of the online quizzes that I took.
My style was described as everything from whimsical and avant-garde(had no clue what the last one meant…again, I referred to my best friend, Google), to bold, brassy and trendy.
Needless to say, after taking the style quizzes, I was still lost.
Like many people, my style really depends on the day, and where I’m going. I love sneakers and joggers for running errands, and I love to wear heels when I’m going out.
Ok, let me be real. Sometimes, I do wear heels for absolutely no reason at all, other than the fact that the sun is shining. That’s just me! I’ve always loved heels!
Ok, back to the story…
Like I was saying, it just depends on the day and my mood. Sometimes, I’m bold with bright colors and loud patterns, and somedays I’m in a hoody and sweats.
You may be saying, “Ok, well how do you define style?”
Simply put, style is what you make it! No two styles are exactly the same, because no two people are exactly the same. Let your style be unique to you. Style is all about letting what you wear, be a reflection of who you are.
“I think the most stylish people are the ones that rock their clothes with confidence. they don’t need the opinion, or approval of others. what they wear may not always be popular, or what’s trending necessarily. their STYLE IS unapologetically unique to them.”
