1.   Create a signature look

2.   Dress for you

Styling is an entirely personal journey. It’s totally about what works for you. You should not be pressured by the fact that everyone is dressing some type of way. Go for outfits that suit your body type and resonate with your personal style.

If you’re still confused about what works for you, you can find inspirations on Pinterest and from quality fashion blogs, with styles of women with your body type. You’d surely find something that resonates with you.

3.   Prioritise quality over quantity

Investing in your style is not just about having lots of items in your wardrobe.  Once you’ve identified your style, streamline your shopping lists to high quality and classic pieces you love and that would elevate your look. Focus on spending the majority of your budget on high quality items that you’d be comfortable wearing every time.

Having fewer high quality items that you love would give you more outfit options. It pays to spend a bit more on high quality pieces to help create your signature style.

4.   Organise your Closet

Instead of just staking your clothes in your wardrobe, opt for organising your wardrobe in a way that makes it easy for you to see all you have and shop your closet effortlessly. This would ensure that everything in your closet is visible and useful.

A great way to start is by arranging your outfits by item types. Then go on to separate casual from dressy outfits. That way, you can see the entire closet easily, and spot the gaps that need filling.

5.   Don’t go overboard with trends

One thing about trends is that they are temporary. The last thing you would want to do is splurge on styles that would fade away very quickly.

If you have a shopping budget, spend 80% on your basics and 20% on trends. Also, don’t be pressured into buying trendy outfits. Stay true to your personal style by only buying pieces that suit your signature look.

6.   Declutter your wardrobe

If you have never thought about decluttering your wardrobe, now is the best time to do it. You would essentially be getting rid of items you don’t need.

Building a personal style is all about you, what you love and what you’re comfortable with. The tips listed would help ensure your style is unique, organised and personal.

1.   Optimize your blog Contents

When your blogs are well optimised for search engines, they stand a better chance of being crawled and indexed by search engine bots.

Ultimately, when your page ranks on the first page of the search engine report page, it can be easily discovered by the readers who ask questions relating to your niche. A good way to go about this is to conduct keyword research and implement SEO best practices in every one of your blog posts.

2.   Promote your blog posts on online communities

Communities like Quora, Reddit and Pinterest are proven ways to divert traffic to your site. However since Quora and Reddit frown against self promotion which results in getting users banned, you need to go about it the right way.

For instance, you can easily provide a detailed answer to a question that has been asked and leave a link at the end for more information. That way you are not shoving your blog in their faces.

3.   Set up your blog for social sharing

When the traffic generation strategies are lagging, social sharing is one sure way to ramp up the traffic. 95.9% of bloggers promote their blog posts through social media and another 69% use social share buttons.

Social media is fast paced and as such presents an opportunity to drive blog traffic faster.

One thing compelling headlines can do for our blog is that it resonates with users instantly and increases click through rate.

Typically, a good headline should be short, catchy and tell the reader what to expect. You can also include relevant keywords and keep them 60 characters long.

*Collaborative post.

The chill is in the air, and winter is on the way! It’s getting really cold where I am at, especially in the mornings when I am doing the school run. I have started wearing my winter gear and the heating now comes on quite regularly. Winter fashion is all about layers, and the winter jacket is a major fashion staple this season. You want your winter jacket to be both practical and stylish. If you are on the hunt for a new winter coat to stay warm and look good this season, here are some shopping tips you may find handy to know.

Go for quality over quantity

Like with many things, when it comes to shopping for winter jackets, it’s important to opt for quality over quantity. Having 2 or 3 stylish and practical winter jackets is better than having 5 or 6 low quality jackets. I prefer investing a little more on my outerwear to keep me protected from the elements at play. Lands’ End have an amazing collection of winter jackets and coats for women, and their pieces are very stylish, high-quality, and also functional. You can check out the women’s winter coat and jacket collection for lots of ideas. There is definitely a piece for every women in Lands’ End Winter Jacket collection.

Opt for different styles

You can shop for quality winter coats in different styles to spice up your winter collection. It’s a great idea to have winter jackets in various styles for different events. For instance, you can have a formal winter coat for formal events, a padded casual jacket for colder days spent mainly outdoors. Having winter jackets in different styles means you always have something to wear, and then you can focus on changing some accessories to recreate different looks.

Look out for jackets with pockets

I like my winter jackets having many pockets for essentials. They are also nice to have for very cold days when the gloves are not warning up as much as I would like. Being able to tuck my fingers into the pockets helps a lot when it’s freezing. So it’s so nice to see more winter jackets with pockets as they are super practical. The depth and the location of the pockets also matters, so check to see they meet your requirements before you buy. I like to have some deep pockets and some shallow, and their location is also important to me. Lands’ End has many different designs in their winter jackets for women collection, and the depth and location of the pockets work for me, so it’s worth having a look on their website.

Go for waterproof pieces

There has been a lot rain in the past few weeks here in Cheshire, and pretty much in the whole of the UK. Sometimes, I wonder if it is spring with all the rain we have been having. A waterproof coat is a winter essential, so check before you buy this season. The last thing you would want is to spend money on a new jacket only to realise it is not as waterproof or as padded as you thought it would. Remember, if doubt, check again.

It is the season of layering and wrapping up! As you shop for your winter essentials, do check that they meet your requirements of warmth, dryness, fashion, and style.
