Define Your Own Style



As much as we hate to admit it, look matters. Clothes aren't just clothes, because they make an impression on who you are. If you present yourself to the world the way you would like to be seen, it will change your life- Jennifer Scout, fashion blogger.

So we going to have a quick peep into how to have a great sense of style, remember first impression happens only once. We often get caught up with the latest trendy style in fashion and one way or the other we all want to try it but before you make that move you have to decide what fits your body type more.

A good way to begin defining your style is to attach a few descriptive labels to it. Start by listing as many types of style genres as you can think of from classic, preppy, hipster, edgy, glamorous, bohemian, minimal, etc. Cross off the ones that you’re certain don’t embody your desired style, and narrow in on a handful of words that speak to your sensibility.



The key to dressing well is to only dress for yourself. Having a good sense of style means having common sense and a healthy sense of self-awareness about your own body. That’s why we have millions of people buying jeans that are a size too small and resigning themselves to wearing jeggings (for the ladies).


Here are quick tips on how to determine your style:
  • Define your style 
Inspect your current wardrobe, lay your favorite clothes on your bed or on a table. Choose pieces that you like or wear often. Look at all the possible combinations of clothing, and see if you tend towards a particular style (such as bohemian, rock chick, vintage, geek chic, etc.). Note which pieces are your favorite, and ask yourself why. Once you determine this, you can start looking for pieces that have similar features.

  • Consider your lifestyle 
Think about the different types of clothing you need for various situations in your life. Write down all of the different social and professional situations you find yourself in during a typical week. Think about how you dress for each.
How do you dress for work?
How do you dress to run errands?
What types of activities do you do with friends? How do you dress for each?
What types of special events (such as weddings) are you invited to? What do you wear there?

  • Search for inspiration 
Keep an eye out among the people you know for inspiration. If you know someone who has an interesting style, ask them about their own personal style. Don"t feel shy to ask them:
"Where do you go shopping?"
"How did you put that outfit together?"
"What is your fashion inspiration?"
"Do you have any tips for me?"

  • Develop a unique look 
When you shop, try to find clothing that comes in your favorite colors. Choose a color palette, or mix and match what looks good to you. Try to wear at least one piece of clothing or accessory each day with that color; ties, scarves, and bags are a good way to add a pop of color to your outfit. Quickly, people will begin to associate it with you. Some color palettes include:
Neutrals: black, white, brown, navy blue, gray
Universals: off-white, gray, teal, lavender, purple, taupe
Warm: dark green, purple, brown, yellow, blue
Cool: bright red, blue, pink, white, black

  • Lastly Wear what makes you feel good 
The key to style is confidence. You want to buy and wear pieces that make you feel beautiful, handsome, or sexy. Your friends, family, and significant other should not decide what your style is. Above all else, make sure you have pieces that you love.

No, Stop Asking For It

The only permission, the only validation, and the only opinion that matters in our quest for greatness are our own.” Dr. Steve Maraboli You might be broke and broken or have random questions like... Am I good enough? Or even smart enough? Beautiful or handsome enough? Why don't I feel content with what I have? I don't see myself talk more about the world seeing me.  One thing you should know is that the world didn't give you permission to be here or even yourself asking to be in the world either. But some of us are still asking for permission but sometimes you have to stop asking for permission, but give the world notice that you have been here, give the world notice that you have played politely long enough, and now it's time to play full out.

Practice To Be More

Image
“I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes, in some area, an athlete of God. Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. The practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired.” ― Martha Graham
