Personal Style.
Personal Style.
Personal Style.
Has it sunk in?! We want to help you all find a style that is Truly You...
So, how does one go about building a personal style, you ask?
Of course, we could continue to say "find inspiration and display it through your clothing", but then you'd just be left confused and perhaps even clueless on where to start. Well...as usual...don't you worry because we have a pretty great roadmap to getting started on building your very own Personal Style. Like most things, the construction of a style that is truly you has a foundation - you must start with the basics!
Building a wardrobe can be hard work, but we're going to lay out where you can start in just 5 necessary clothing items and 5 essential accessories.
 |
| #1 A layering tank |
Basics are great for both bringing your look together and even dressing it up/down. Layering tanks are one of our favorite pieces. We use them all the time underneath shirts that aren't long enough, as a piece to break up textures, or even alone with a busy pair of leggings.

| #2 The Perfect Pair of Boyfriend Jeans |
The perfect pair of boyfriend jeans, while not always easy to hunt down, are absolutely an essential. The perfect fit can take years to find (as it did in our cases) but believe us, you will live in them (and they will be worth your money!) Boyfriend jeans are great for giving any outfit a laid-back look. You can even spice them up with a pair of heels to be ready for a casual date night!
 |
| #3 A Great Blazer |
A fabulous blazer will be your go-to basic to dress up ANYTHING. A blazer can completely pull together an outfit for many occasions. Even if blazers don't seem like they'd fit into your personal style, keep your eye out, because they really do come in all colors, shapes, lengths, and sizes!

| #4 A Leather Jacket |
A leather jacket can be used to easily dress things down and add a bit of edge when needed. So, you want to wear that brand-new-super-fancy dress to Girls' Night Out? Don't nix it for being too over-the-top. Anything can be tamed down and made more playful by simply throwing on your leather jacket.

| #5 A Little Black Dress |
Last on our essential clothing list is that perfectly fitted Little Black Dress. Your go-to for anything, from a fashion show to a surprise date. You'll look appropriate for every occasion in Coco Chanel's favorite fashion staple.

Now we know these pieces alone can't tie you together in every fashion emergency, so on to the ACCESSORIES...
 |
| #1 A Black Boot |
First things first, you're not going to make any outfit complete without a flawless pair of black boots. Whether you want them to give your style an industrial, equestrian-chic, minimalistic, or whatever feel, a good pair of booties will have you covered. Splurge on the best pair that perfectly suit you!

| #2 A Basic Heel |
For those other occasions, when boots just aren't enough glam, you need the perfect pair of heels that make you feel both confident and sexy. These can take you everywhere - from the office to the club - so concentrate on the most wearable pair for you. Black and nude are our favorite colors to have on hand!

| #3 A Giant Scarf |
From warmth to style, a great scarf can really cover it all! Find your perfect color, size, and texture for those days when your neck is just a little too bare.

| #4 A Statement Necklace |
When scarves don't quite do your neckline enough favors, try resorting to a bold statement necklace. Be sure to find one that's truly you to easily make any outfit look perfectly personalized.

| #5 A Quality Handbag |
And, finally, your most useful basic will definitely be a quality handbag. Since this is something you're sure to utilize almost everyday, the splurge will be well worth it. Just make sure to choose one that fits perfectly into your color palette to rock it with every look.

As essential closet staples, it is okay to splurge on these pieces! When you find the perfect piece, snatch it up! Believe us, it will be worth it. It always comes down to the basics!
Truly Yours,
