It’s funny but contrary to most of you, i seem 2 have only one fashion persona ‘The modern classic’.i tend to go with looks that are simpler but also stylish. People say i dress elegantly and when i buy clothes i tend to go with styles that are more classical but also go for classical with a slight tweek..

With my largely plump shape (ha! that’s a kind way of putting it!) I find that I look better in tailored items. However, the trendy fashionista speaks to me more than any other category w/a touch of funky urbanite.

Despite the fact that you feel that you are still working out your own personal style - it sounds as though you have it spot on. Often we are a mixture of a few styles (just like you have discovered). Our age, the fashions of the season that we have found our self in, and how we are feeling about our bodies and life styles at a particular time will affect our sense of style continuously.

I too am a mixture of different styles. I am trendy and fashion forward most if the time, but there is a strong part of me that likes to stay modernly-classic. If I don’t like the trends of a particular season – I tend to become even more modernly-classic! The trick is to continually experiment with new silhouettes, colours and combinations. Often – we are stuck in a mindset of what we think won’t look good on us, until we actually pluck up the courage to try it and it ends up looking fab. I hear this so much when I dress people in outfits that they never dreamed they could wear because they never tried them.

At the end of the day – I am a strong believer of the fact “that everybody can buy clothes – but style you have to own”. It sounds like you are beginning to own your own style by knowing what you like, can afford and are daring enough to try. Good for you.

Keep us posted on how you get closer to discovering what works best for you. I’m thrilled that my site has been of some encouragement.
