Can’t get that man, job or dream life, fear not because help is at hand to make your wildest dreams come true.
To grow your own style you need to focus on what the fashion industry calls a signature piece.
This can be anything you like from sunglasses to jewellery to jackets to scarves, just choose something which you already love and expand on it.
Stars use this trick too to up their fashion status - think Kylie Minogue and hotpants, Nicole Kidman and pale skin, Lady Gaga and her outrageous outfits and wigs.
The best thing about a signature piece is that you can splurge on that item but team it up with an affordable outfit to look stylish and glam everyday.
To find your signature piece look at your wardrobe and accessories to find out what you like the most - it could be shoes, bangles, necklaces, earrings or scarves. Whatever inspires you, take it and turn it into your own signature so everyone will know your name by the end of your style transformation.
Your signature style should be something that you feel comfortable in and that you can wear everyday.
And you don’t need to stick to just one style, you can be an edgy urban chick on Monday, a classy chick on Tuesday, a glam rocker Wednesday… you get the idea.
But running through your various themes you can keep your signature piece as a mainstay.
For example a classic black dress can be worn with leggings and flats with masses of silver of boho jewellery for daytime then transformed into glamorous evening wear by replacing leggings with sheer black stockings and killer heels with delicate silver jewellery and a classy blazer or shawl. So two looks from one dress by changing accessories. Of course incorporate your signature piece into the mix to ensure you have stamped your style brand on your outfits.
To make sure you stay stylish everyday it is essential to have an organised wardrobe so you can easily access your outfit for the day or evening, especially important if you have a whirlwind of events to attend.
The first thing to do is to throw out any items you haven’t worn for the past two to three years including accessories because it is a sure sign that they don’t suit your own personal style.
