Some of the fashion books and magazines give lists of different 'styles' which can help you analyse what you really like, which in turn helps you when you go shopping for clothes: Classic/Romantic/Natural/Chic/Arty/Sexy/Dramatic or a recent category Eurochic - Oh, I think I'd love to be Eurochic! It sounds so elegant!
Your style of course should be compatible with your lifestyle - I adore dressy clothes, but I am a painter, gardener and garden designer and live in the wilds of Argyll - but a girl can dream....and arrange a few 'elegant shoe events' in her life.
I'd like to think my style is Classy with a fun twist/Arty not tarty...
I like to wear classic good quality trousers for example with slightly funky jewellery from Top Shop, or a beautiful piece of jewellery (I've bought recently from a website called www.scandinaviansilver.co.uk - vintage scandinavian designs) with jeans and plimsolls. Mixing styles is an art, and fun, and I think the secret is in the proportions - if you wear half and half of two styles it just looks as if you don't know what you are trying to do - but if you wear predominantly one with a touch of another - it's kind of piquant! (Well, I think so anyway.) I like the book More Dash Than Cash by Kate Hogg for inspiration - it just hasn't dated, though later versions have I think.
So what's your style Laura? And Lynne? and yours.......?
