IDENTIFY YOUR OWN STYLE


"Style is a way to tell the people who you are without saying anything" 

The famous line came from one of my fashion icon, Rachel Zoe. I've always been a fan of her eversince highschool and she never fail to dress up in every event looking so stylish, elegant and expensive. Also, Blair and Serena from Gossip Girl has also inspired me and somehow taught me how to dress up stylish and always feel that everyday is a fashion and you should look beautiful and stunning everytime you go out from your humble abode. 

But, the most important thing that you should remember before putting all that clothes that you want for your look everyday is to identify the style that fits for you. Idenitfying your style means that you should know what clothes look good to you. Also, your style should never be a hindrance for your comfortability.

In my case, it was a big challenge before I was able to come up with my own sense of style. Considering the fact that I have a big body type, that was a challenge for me to look for clothes that I really love and would be able to express my style as an individual. But, if you really love to dress up and be stylish you will find ways on how to look good.

Identifying your sense of fashion or style is very important and the next thing that you should consider is comfortability. Over the years, I was able to identify what my sense of style was and I am happy because I know that these 2 really representst my sense of fashion and I always get compliments from people that I look good on the clothes that I'm wearing (thank you so much to Rachel Zoe, Gossip Girls Series, Carrei Bradshaw for teaching me how to look stylish haha :D).

MY GO-TO STYLE:

1. CHIC MINIMALIST
Chic is considered as a way to dress up looking elegant and fabulous but in my own style I combine chic and minimalism. This kind of style let's you look elegant but at the same time not being so extravagant. One way to look chic minimalist is by being monochromatic. Normally I love wearing either all black or all white outfit and this will let you look more chic. You can add accesories to accentuate your look but as the style itself it would suggest that less is more chic. Do not be afraid to wear an all black or all white outfit.










2. LAYERING

Style sometimes depend on my mood, that's why my second go to style is by doing layering. Philippines is a tropical country so when you do layering make sure that your inner garment has thin fabric only so that when you put a jacket on, you will still feel comfortable to what you're wearing. Again, looking stylish should not mean sacrificing your comfortability.





WAYS ON HOW TO IDENTIFY YOUR OWN STYLE:

1. GET INSPIRATIONS BUT DO NOT COPY!

It's normal that we look up to our fashion icons in terms of identifying our own sense of style. But, our idols are only just there to inspire us so for us to be able to identify our own sense of style we must have our own and unique taste when it comes to choosing our outfits. It's ok to have inspiration but again it's just an inspiration never ever copy! Even in style, there's also plagiarism. So always remember that your sense of style should always represent who you are and what you love to wear. Again, our style let's us introduce ourself to people without saying any word.

2. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO EXPERIMENT!

Identifying your own style is a long journey, so do not be afraid to try a of lot style and from there you will be able to identify what really suits for you and for your personality.

3. WORK ON A BUDGET

Being stylish doesn't mean being too expensive also. The best way to look for clothes is to look for the cheapest one! It doesn't mean that if you have an expensive clothing or branded clothes, it will automatically look good on you. The cheaper, the better. Go for sales, go shopping at thrift stores (ukay-ukay) because from there you will be able to find a good piece of clothing.

4. DO NOT LET OTHER PEOPLE DICTATE YOU ON WHAT TO WEAR

We will always get comments from people about the way we dress up, but, if you are confident to what you're wearing then, do not let other people dictate you on what to wear. Again, you are not drssing up stylishly to impress people but you are dressing up to express who you are.

5. ALWAYS HAVE A BLACK OUTFIT READY

If you are in doubt on what to wear, the safest thing that you could actually wear is a black outfit. So always have a black go-to outfit to save you from a fashion mayhem!


Being stylish is fun, looking good is what always makes us happy, do not be afraid to wear what you really want to wear!

That's it for now! Bye!
