Define Your Style

There are six (6) clothing personality styles
You may already be dressing in one of these according to your body frame and type, facial features and hair type, but if you don’t then you need to define your clothing style so you can be able to build an amazing wardrobe.

When you stay true to your clothing personality in your wardrobe choices, you “feel” right. People comment on how good YOU look, not how great your clothes are. The clothes are “you” and get worn again and again because of it.
When you stray into types of apparel typically worn by other personalities, however, you may feel uncomfortable, even if the clothes fit you properly. People may comment on how your clothes look, not how great they make you look. Or they might say, “Is that new?” with no compliment to go with it. Something's just not right, but you can't quite put your finger on what it is.
Some women know exactly what their clothing personality is and never stray far from it. Others have no idea who they are and try every style or trends that comes their way. But the majority of women fall somewhere in between: they have some clothes that are “them,” and others that just aren't.
So how can you combat your own clothing personality disorder?
