Finding your style can be a bit of a challenge to anyone growing-up because the more we grow, the more we know ourselves, therefore, our style becomes ONE with us. It takes time, effort, and more time in finding what works best for you. We all know we didn't grow up having the IT style because it's something that evolves through the years as we mature into the people we have become.
I know with many tries and errors, recently I have found my personal style, and now I would like to help you find yours! I have a few tips, which I think you would find useful and will get you excited in not only discovering your style, but also, hopefully, learning some new things about yourself.
Our style is build around a few things that we should be aware of. Let's see what they are!?
1. How do you want the world to see you?
The first and most important question to answer is this one. It'll make finding your style so much easier.
So, do you want the world to see you as a business woman, as a beauty professional, as a stylist, as a traveler...? Each of you answer this question for yourself, and then, it's time to put all the effort into it.
For example, if you want the world to see you as a beauty professional, every time you go out you must show off your make-up look. Put the time into learning about all the current beauty trends, the always new and coming products, the way to apply/use each product... and so on. Experiment with it all, and whenever you go out, show everyone that you're a beauty lover!
That's my approach to being a fashion blogger. Every time I go out, I want to make that statement with an outfit that is striking, clean and so me!
2. Location is KEY!
The city, state, country you live in will for sure have an impact on your style. If I met two girls for coffee, one lives in New York, the other lives in LA, I would immediately be able to tell which one is which, by seeing what they're wearing. The New York girl will look very chic and sexy. The LA girl will have a more relaxed bohemian style.
That means the place you live in definitely has a part in defining your style whether you have noticed it or not.
3. Know your body!
This is a BIG one! With style comes knowing yourself, that includes knowing what pieces work BEST for your body shape. Whether you're an apple, pear or rectangle there are pieces that will look amazing on you like they were made for you and others that will make you wish you never bought them.
It's okay to experiment with different trends and styles to see what you love to wear the most, but be aware in how you feel and look in them. Let's say you want to try the newest trend this season, you end up loving it, you feel confident in it, you look great in it, then 100% add it to your style staples. However, if one of these factors is missing don't even think about it. It can be the trendiest piece, but it's not for you. Trends come and go, but you must stay true to your body!
4. Personality!
You bet, our personality does help us define our style. If you're naturally more bubbly, happy, of course you'll be drawn to more colorful clothing. That's the way of expressing yourself without needing to speak.
Your personality also includes knowing your interests, knowing what you like and don't like doing.
5. Work it!
Your work at the moment will have a big impact on your style. If you're a stay at home mom, you'll most likely be drawn to comfortable clothing that you can just throw on like leggings, jeans, t-shirts, so your closet will mainly be made up of simple, yet practical attire.
On the other hand, if you work for a magazine, your closet will be full of the most trendiest, chic pieces that have become part of your style just because of your occupation.
Our jobs along with our age, help us in defining our style whether that's sporty, chic, bohemian...
