How do you improve your sense of style?

[prosechild]

So I know what shapes I should be wearing for my body type. I have a few stores where I like to shop (mostly Lerner NY and Macy's, and LVLX for party tops). And I know what colors work best for my skin tone.

What's next?

How do I go from customized to fashionista? Ok maybe not fashionista... but a style that's unique and distinctive? Without breaking

This was a great topic. I have NO answers for you though. You know more than I do. I have no idea what colors look good for my skin tone. I buy a lot of black and a lot of pink and green. But yeah I want to find my own style too so I'm looking foward to seeing what the responses to this post are.

I dont know how you shop, but the key is to try things on. You'll never know what you like until you put it on. I always thought Nicole Richie dressed really nicely and I just realized that's my body type and a little of my style. I'm Boho and Preppy, so I mix and match.

I think if you like a person's style or see something that you like on a person, dont feel like you're copying it, just try a few of the pieces you like with some of the things you have. It's a process that, unless you hire a personal stylist, you're gonna have to tough it out and figure out what you like.

I wish I could have been of more help to you.

Accessories are the key to developing a personal style. Shoes, bags, jewelry, hats, belts, etc. can update, dress up, or dress down an otherwise basic outfit without breaking the bank. Check out magazines like Vogue and Bazaar to see what's new in accessories and go from there to find pieces like them that are suitable to your budget.
