What makes personal style?
Whether you care to admit it or not, we all have style. And even if you don’t buy into the latest trends or invest a lot in your wardrobe, the way you dress reflects your personality and the pieces you choose to put on each day is often your first introduction. So why not put on clothes as special and unique as you are?
Adding interesting pieces to your everyday outfits is a great way to infuse your wardrobe with personality. The addition of a stand-out shoe, an embroidered jacket, or even somethings as simple as unique button or ribbon detailing, can make an otherwise simple outfit your own. And you don’t have to spend a lot, to make a statement. For example, I have plans to add a grosgrain ribbon to a pair of jeans in an effort to replicate the pants I highlight below.
When shopping, I’m looking for a standout piece that will compliment the items I already wear day in and day out. I’m a jeans and tee kinda gal (now sweater with the onset of fall), so layers or accessories that still allow me to dress within my comfort zone is key. Lately I’ve been shopping some consignment and vintage stores to add the unique je ne sais quoi that I’m trying to achieve. I’m either investing in stand-out, high-end pieces that I wouldn’t be able to justify at their full-retail price tag or seeking one-of-a-kind, treasures from the past that will look modern when paired with my current wardrobe.
