Your style is defined by your taste
Trend is but moment in time, blink and you could miss it! The industry is moving quickly, faster every season. Having your own style, driven by your taste, allows you to watch the trends, but only buying them when they align with your taste and not overstocking on every trend.
Women who have good taste really just understand themselves well. They know how to collect pieces that represent their individual flavour and put them together to create a great synergetic result. There's no greater tip you can receive about style than being authentic to yourself. It's your style story; it needs to be guided by your taste.
In your rawest form you are original, you have your own personality, your own physical features, your own eccentricities, your own experiences and your own interests. There is
only one you. It's necessary to recognise your individuality, harness it and let it translate into what you wear. Your taste is your signature.
Celebrating your individuality will also guide you towards a great synergetic wardrobe. When all of your wardrobe choices share the same genre or concept, your options to mix and match will extend beyond belief. You need this synergy to maximise outfitting. Use your taste as the foundation to build your wardrobe upon and everything inside it will work together.
Dressing in your truest taste will also make you feel really good. Wearing pieces that make you feel happy and confident will positively affect your personal wellbeing in such a powerful way. It's yours to own.
Defining your taste-build your vision board
You need to see all of yours special things in one place to enable you to see your style. The vision board should be full of inspiration, which you will draw upon to establish the looks you are going to wear. Gather pictures of all those things you love:
fashion
people
objects
movies
places
architecture
life
colour
music
food
inspirational quotes
talets
The pictures don't have to literal, they can be anything. They can be an extension of a mood, an expression, or a feeling captured by a single photograph. Put all the pictures in one place, and attach them to a great big board. Lose yourself in the vision that lies before you.
Look at your vision board every day over the course of a few days and make changes if there are pictures that no longer feel relevant or could be replaced with better or more suitable pict
ures. What you are building is the collage of who you are.
When the board is complete you will notice the pictures you have selected affect the way you feel...contented, peaceful. You probably never knew why you had naturally gravitated towards certain things. Now you can take comfort in knowing that pull was coming from within.
Look closely. Is there a connection that link the pictures together? Is there a particular constant that keeps repeating itself. This common thread running through your collage is your taste! Name it. This is the title of your style.
You will constantly refer to your board to help identify the right pieces to fill your wardrobe
with and keep you on tack. Keep a list add to it as you go. It won't stop with clothing. As you immerse yourself deeply into your taste, your accessories, hair, makeup, your nail polish and your home will all follow suit and every aspect of you will accurately represent who you are and all that you love.
