Is personal style really that important? and if not, then why is there so much emphasis on finding it? Are you a fashion chameleon or a basic bitch?
How Important is Personal Style?
To me personal style is fairly important. I’d say as a fashion blogger its something that defines you and helps people to identify with you. If you like colourful outfits, don’t follow me. If you like basics and simple looks in neutral tones . . you’re in the right place! I almost think of personal style as a style theme, just one look at my wardrobe and you’ll see that I like cream knits. . a lot.
I’d definitely say that my personal style has developed a lot. Though deep down it’s always been there, I’ve stopped trying to like more trend led pieces and given in to the fact that I will forever be in blue jeans and in my heart, comfort will always win!
What really made me want to write this post is the fact that I constantly see the words personal style being banded with finding your personal style being heralded as the holy grail of fashion. But can you really find it? To me it’s something that just develops over time with some people never settling upon a certain style. But is that really a bad thing? A part of me loves and secretly envies the women that can rock any look with confidence, pulling off a different style on the daily depending on how they feel that morning. Carrie Bradshaw to me is the ultimate queen of fashion chameleons! So if you don’t feel like you’ve found your personal style yet, or even that you have one, then who really cares?

What Black Ankle Boot Dreams Are Made Of . .
So obviously you’ll have noticed that the boots I’m wearing are not only super beautiful but also perfect dupes of the Acne ones we’re all in awe of. But theres something to be said of a good pair of black ankle boots. I don’t think you could get more wardrobe staple except for maybe a plain white tee!!

I think personal style is forever changing and growing and so we’ll probably never necessarily ‘find it’, but hey, like you say, who cares anyway?! ahaha xxx

Exactly! I definitely feel like now I don’t try out as many new things because I know they won’t suit me but I still love to try new things I just know if its lime green I’ll probably never wear it again!
If you ask me ‘finding’ my personal style is really being aware of my personal style. It’s probably always been there, but I haven’t always been aware of it. It’s about realising what items I’m drawn to and at the same time feel comfortable wearing. I used to wear black items, because we’re supposed to, right? I liked the look, but didn’t feel entirely comfortable. I realised I was more comfortable in navy, so I’ve switched out the black for navy and am happy. I’ve found out what shapes work, and more importantly which ones don’t. I like a splash of colour, but never full on, top to toe. Sweaters in the winter, short sleeved blouses in the summer, flat shoes with the occasional heel. Minimalism but with interesting details.

This is so true and I love the sound of your style!
I love personal style and totally agree with you that it gives an idea of who you are. I don’t think you can ‘find’ your personal style either, maybe for now but it’s something that is ever evolving – at least for me anyway! xx

I totally agree! I think the older you get the more aware you are of what suits you but I still make bad decisions and try new things!
I don’t think I have a particular style but I don’t really follow trends – I like neutrals and black a lot and choosing items that will work well with lots of other pieces in my wardrobe x

I’m the same but without black! I prefer all creams!
I would say I like to change my look up, but it’s all a variation on a theme! I pick “fashion” pieces that lend to my style and love to have fun. I like what I like and I am happy with that ? and YOU have uh-mazing style Sinead!!!
Thanks for sharing!
