I
am a huge advocate for personal style. I feel it is important to be yourself
and wear genuine outfits that can express who you are as well. Knowing the
differences between fashion and style will help you dress like you.
FASHION
VS. STYLE
Fashion can be defined as a popular trend especially in ways of
dressing, ornament, and behavior. Style is defined as a consistent and
comfortable mode of existence. Anyone can be fashionable by becoming a
slave to the newest trends but style is something that one must possess, and
becoming aware of your own personal style sets you apart from the rest.
Many
famous fashion designers have been quoted for their thoughts on the subject as
well. Yves Saint Laurent says, "Fashions
fade, style is eternal." Ralph
Lauren says, "Style
is very personal. It has nothing to do with fashion. Fashion is over quickly.
Style is forever." Rachel
Zoe also says, "Style
is a way to say who you are without having to speak."
WEAR
WHAT YOU WANT
As
simple as it sounds is as simple as it is. Become aware of your personal
interests and what inspires you and don't be afraid to experiment and wear what
you want. That is my biggest tip here. Wear what you want. Don't let the
opinion's of others affect what you like. Remember, there are no real rules
when it comes to this. Wear white after Labor Day because you love the way you
look in white. Wear thigh high boots because you think they're awesome. Find
your signature go-to pieces and get them in every color if you want. You make the rules!
NO
ONE KNOWS YOU BETTER THAN YOU
At
the end of the day, you are in charge of what you wear. All the advice from
fashion magazines, celebrity stylists, and bloggers like myself are just
suggestions and helpful tools. No one knows you better than yourself and
knowing who you are is the biggest step into knowing who you want to become. Or
in this case, knowing how you want to dress! Wear what YOU feel most comfortable in.
Have
fun creating a wardrobe that speaks for you!
