Figuring Out Your Style Personality

So often we put the cart before the horse. We start adding pieces to our wardrobe, spend time and money building it up but we haven't taken the time to really hone in on our style personality. Figuring this out can be so helpful in building a wardrobe that we love and are excited to wear.

I find that we tend to fall into several style personality types - but, it's so helpful to have an understanding of the different styles and then determine our own.

On Pinterest, I've put together boards illustrating many of the key style types. Check them out there to get you started on your own journey. Below, I give a snapshot of each. I'd love to hear which resonate with you!

With minimalist style - keep things simple and streamlined! Focus on a neutral, versatile colour palette.
