“How would you define your style?”

I was once asked this in an interview and it kind of stumped me. I’ve often thought about that question when I look in my closet.

I can say I’m a Gemini through and through so one day I’m likely to be head to toe in black and the next bright colors everywhere! So, how you "find" the style that feels the most like you? This past Spring I did a massive closet purge of things I’ve been hanging on to for the last decade. It felt amazing to make more space and let go of some of those dreadful pieces. But when you’re “finding” your style so to speak, where to start? I’ve come up with five easy ways to really feel good in your own skin and clothes.

Find three adjectives that you feel defines the type of clothes you gravitate towards. For example mine are: glam, edgy, and bold.
Have a few celebs that inspire you and who's style you love. I'm a huge fan of Olivia Palermo and Blake Lively.
Let go of anything you think you "should like" but don’t. I’ve said this a million times, if you don’t like a trend don’t wear it. And never feel bad for liking a piece. It’s so important to be true to yourself. Your fashion and style should always be evolving just like your personality, life, and mental state. Always getting better so I believe your style should too. Get rid of those old things that just don't suit "you" anymore.
What are three pieces you feel comfortable in? Pieces that just plan make you happy. For me, a cape, high waisted pants, and a bodysuit of some kind. Oh, and I love a vertical stripe and I’m always more comfortable in heels but that’s just my vibe.
I’ve saved the best for last. BE YOU! Make no mistake, I’ll never suggest you be anything other than yourself. This is so very important. Let your freak flag fly!
