Personality Styling Tips If you are a fun person make sure you have something that brings a smile to your face e.g. floral prints, statement accessories, a vibrant colour or a quirky style eyewear frame. If you are more serious and practical embrace that in more structured styling, well cut clothes, garments featuring angles and tailored lines. If you are creative, have something interesting even home made or sourced from a market or op shop. For example; crochet earrings, be-jewelled jacket, vintage clothing piece. If you find you are more ‘go with the flow’ then bring that into your wardrobe too. Try a loose flowy skirt, unstructured jacket or kimono style wrap, chiffon scarf or a feminine blouse. 3 Be Confident You have probably have heard it before but it is worth saying again “co nfidence is key”. Be confident in who you are and what you wear. If you are being true and genuine then you should not be afraid of what others think. If however, you lack confidence in shopping and are not sure what colours or styles are best for you then make it a priority to “play” a little and experiment with clothes, colours, accessories and makeup. You may be surprised at what you will find you love and what loves you! Or maybe you need to seek some professional assistance. Nobody is born with style and there is absolutely nothing wrong with investing in yourself and learning how to “enhance your natural beauty” correctly. I hope I have set you on the right path to finding a style that is true to you and this stage in your life. Just remember, your style is your own and one that is unique to you! Use these 3 steps to help define yours but most importantly… have fun, love and be confident in what you wear – it is the extension of you no matter what stage of life you find yourself at.
