Creating personal style.

In the world of the fashion conscious it's imperative to possess a personal style to be easily recognized if you aren't a model or celeb. I noticed that younger fashionista use the word" unique" when they're asked to describe their style. The word is used so often that it defeats the purpose of it's meaning (in my opinion). I've always taken a note on how to develop a personal style. You have to have one consistent trait and then you can insert different variables into your style.

Take stylist Pat Feild for example. We will always recognize her with her flaming red hair. She then mixes different pieces to build her outfits and we've grown to love her quirkiness.



Designer Erin Featherson (I love her) always keeps her platinum blonde bangs cut perfectly.
New singer Janelle Monae always sports androgynous outfits with her hair fashioned in a retro quiff. Even if you can't remember her name, you would could remember her style.
We all know Anna Wintour by her sharply cut bob hairstyle and her over sized glasses.
What is your constant variable?? It can be your hair like these ladies, or a certain accessory you always wear or even a shirt your obsessed with. Whatever you do stay consistent and OWN IT! That's how you'll create your personal style and truly become "unique."
