What style are you? Do you know? Well have no fear - there are about 1000 places on the Internet you can go find out. You can take a test with multiple choice answers that conveniently let you know whether you are 'sporty', 'classic', 'romantic', 'county', 'city chic', 'retro', blah, blah, blah. Or whether your style icon is Audrey Hepburn (always on the lists), Sophia Loren, Kate Hudson, or a host of young actresses I do not recognize at all. So now you can be categorized to match your furniture choice - isn't that great! Not really. Do you want to be pigeon-holed? Or look like your sofa? I don't. I went to a nifty jewelry site once that offered to help you select jewelry pieces. But first you had to take their quiz - in fact, you couldn't enter the site without taking that quiz. It consisted of unlikely choices "If you were going on a picnic, which 'style icon' would you prefer to go as?" It then gave you selection of five famous designers or actresses from which to choose. Each query had a different answer group. Unfortunately, most of the time, I found that "none" would have been my preferred answer. So, I picked the least objectionable of the bunch (kinda like politics!) At the end of the test, I was then presented with the Jewelry Type I obviously had to be - and the site then showed me jewelry that would fit my tastes perfectly. Um, No. Not one time did the site ever present me with a piece of jewelry I liked (I mean - I didn't like ANYTHING). You could not retake the test because it acknowledged your previous answers were the correct answers for you - AND - you couldn't view any other jewelry on their site because they had pre-selected everything for you - since they knew you best. You couldn't change THEIR idea of what was perfect for you. Too bad. I couldn't purchase a thing from Their website since it didn't know a thing about me.
So, what about you? We can pigeon-hole ourself sometimes. We don't even need help to do it! Get stuck in a rut. Hmmm. Know what a rut is? It is usually quite a dirty, muddy spot carved into something from continued overuse. Have you decided that you are 'sporty' so you can justify only wearing jogging outfits or similar because it's your style. Are you 'bohemian' so you can wear a lot of clothes that don't fit properly and it is irrelevant if they are clean or wrinkled? Really? It's not because you are lazy and don't want to try better?
You are not required to be any specific style. At all. I believe style is what you Are - not what you Wear. What you should require of yourself is to look great every time you step out of the door and people have to take a gander at you. There is no reason you must subject yourself to a defined 'uniform' of a style. Let your style start with your heart and your smile and your stance and your character and then put something on that body that expresses how absolutely fabulous you are.
That is what we are here to do. Pull the fabulous In you to the outside. Let us know if there is something particular you would like discussed.
God bless you richly. I know that He has blessed me!
