This entire styling process has evolved from my bumbling attempts to pinpoint my style over the years.

I couldn’t work out how to dress in one fashion style without looking like a caricature, but whenever I tried to add in elements from other aesthetics it felt messy and “try hard”.

It finally occurred to me that I would never be able to carve out or refine a signature style if I had infinite options to choose from (…plus, my wardrobe and credit card bill were both bursting at the seems by this point)

I needed flexibility to express myself, but within the limits of just a few styles so that I could build out a more complete, cohesive & intentional wardrobe - a unique blend of 3 fashion styles.

I narrowed my style blend down to “Elegant - French - Minimalist”, but it never felt quite me and I struggled to come up with outfits and craft looks.

Trust me, you’ll know when you’ve got it right (check out the comments for cute proof of people having their “ah ha!” moment using this style formula) - so if you’re umming and ahhing, it probably needs a bit more tweaking - Go back to your Find Your Style formula worksheet to further explore some of the other clothing styles that you marked as LOVE & LIKE.
