Explore your Wardrobe

Start by checking out your wardrobe. Improving your personal style works the same way as building any other habit. As a result, intentionality is critical. An excellent way to start is by dressing up regardless of whether or not there’s an occasion. This is a great way to explore your wardrobe and identify styles you naturally gravitate towards. Also, you could take stock of what you have and what is missing from your wardrobe. 

Pay attention to your Body type and skin tone

Finding and developing a personal style is a personal journey, and your personality plays a huge role. Understanding your body style can steer you in the right direction.

By understanding your body type and paying attention to your skin tone, you can opt for clothes that accentuate your body type while making your skin pop. 

Shop Strategically

If you’ve always been jumping on every fashion trend, it’s high time you dropped that habit. 

Aside from wasting valuable cash, one backlash of jumping on fashion trends or impulse buying is that you would usually end up with a pile of clothes you’ll probably never wear because they just do not fit.

It’s time to break that habit. After exploring your wardrobe, you should be able to create a list of items you need. Let those be the priority when you go shopping. You can always add other things that interest you to a wishlist instead of buying them right off the rack.

Incorporate textures 

Whether you are a fan of basic clothing or have a ton of them lying in your wardrobe, incorporating textures is a sure way to elevate that basic look.

Adding textures like leather, metallics, cashmere, and silk to your collection and pairing them with your basic staples can be a great way to look chic and elevated.

Pay attention to your footwear

Whenever you feel your outfit is just not it, check your footwear. They can literally make or break your look. The best part about investing in footwear is how effortlessly they complement your look and their versatility. From ballet flats and loafers to trendy sneakers, footwear is totally worth the hype.

Accessorize 

Timeless accessories are a must-have. Whether it is a delicate pendant or a statement earring, accessorising delivers that final touch of class your outfit needs. Don’t sleep on accessories!

Having a wardrobe that exudes your personal style can be a great confidence boost. You would be ever ready to step up in style and no longer feel anxious about selecting what to wear. 

 

Style Icon: Brandy Norwood

Hey fashion lovers! I hope you are all well and staying safe wherever you are. Today’s style is going to take us down a memory lane of some sort. I have been a huge fan of Brandy Norwood for decades now. Her voice is simply amazing and many of her tracks are some of my favourites. I can sing along to most of them, that’s how much I love her songs, and I am sure it is the same for many. Her duo with Monica on The Boy is Mine will always be a hit.

When it comes to Brandy Norwood’s personal style, I have been a fan of her fashion sense since her early days. Norwood’s personal style is effortlessly chic and feminine. I love how she looks good in almost everything and how she goes for pieces and accessories that make her shine brighter.

Brandy Norwood’s Instagram page is filled with her styling amazing pieces. It is so amazing to see she has not changed much over the years. She still looks like “Moesha” without the braids. I miss the braids on her. They were like her signature look. As a young teenage girl, I always wanted my braids to look as good as Brandy’s.

I am loving the outfit Norwood has on here. The colour works great for her skin tone and the dress shows off her stunning legs. She accessorised it beautifully with stylish sandals. I think she looks amazing in this dress and I can see myself styling this look easily.

Fashion and Style? What’s the difference..

Fashion can be easily confused with style but they are very difference. Fashion is all what is going on in the fashion industry; the  trends and what is in vogue. While style is what is going on in your wardrobe. It is your personal taste and how you mix and match your pieces/accessories to create your signature look. With this current pandemic many people are taking a break from the fashion world and working with their work from home signature pieces. If you don’t have a capsule wardrobe, you may struggle in this current time with what to wear.

One of the many beauties of having a capsule wardrobe is that you have a wardrobe that is complementary. You never run out of what to wear with a capsule wardrobe and that is how your personal style is created. With mixing and matching of different pieces and accessories, your style is born. Fashion is what you get in the stores. Style is what you do with it.

Fashion is your relationship with the fashion world

Fashion is your relationship with the external. It is what you see on the fashion blogs, social media, runaway, on the high street and advertisements. Fashion is what the fashion designers give to you everyday. Fashion is very out there.

Style is your relationship with your signature look

Style is your relationship with the internal. It is what you see when you shop around. Style is your personal taste which creates your capsule wardrobe. Style is very personal.

Fashion is about them, style is you

Fashion is about everything else going on in the fashion industry outside of you, style is what is happening within you.

The best way to look at this is understanding the fact that fashion and Style are very different but they are both needed. You can’t have one without the other and you really shouldn’t. I love my Fashion and I adore my style. They both make me who I am.
