STYLE STATEMENT TUESDAY
I stumbled upon the concept of a
style statement while reading a post written by Kate from
The Small Things Blog; she learned about it from Lauren at
Simply Chic Mom. I've put a little southern spin on to make it more me.
WHAT IS A STYLE STATEMENT?
A style statement is a 2-3 word
phrase that captures your style or what you want your style to be. It helps you
think according to your identified taste and allows you to narrow down your
options when shopping. It can also direct you to your style icons, which can
inspire outfits and help you organize your personal style.
MY STYLE STATEMENT
I live in the south, and that
presents its own style challenges. It can be extremely hot and humid. Plus, we
southerners really have our own rules regarding fashion. The idea of a style
statement really appeals to me, and I’ve been thinking about my clothing and
how I like to present myself to the world. I love feminine, simple, timeless
pieces. So, my style statement is “Classic Pretty.” I like anything that makes
me feel “pretty” and hate wearing clothes that don’t make me feel that way. I
also have a “classic” style. I don't often get carried away with trends, and I lean
towards pieces that will always be wearable. My style statement will prompt me
to ask these questions when shopping:
- Does
this piece fit into my “Classic Pretty” wardrobe?
- Do I
already own something similar?
- How
will I wear this/with what will I wear this?
MY STYLE ICON
I’ve chosen Reese Witherspoon as
my style icon. She’s such a beauty, and she’s from Tennessee. Perfect for me, don’t
you think? I just love her style. She never looks overdone, but always looks
pulled together. She is definitely an inspiration.
