How knowing your style type can save you time
Okay friends, I know I’m a little biased here because I could literally shop every day BUT I know that I’m in the minority. Many women often tell me that shopping stresses them out. There are SO many options and choices that make it so overwhelmingly hard to decide AND never mind about the experience of trying things on. It can be traumatic for some people They would rather opt for a root canal and I’m not being dramatic! I understand where they are coming from (although can’t relate to it - except the dressing room experience which I can empathize) but friends there is a simpler, easier way! Shopping does not have the be that difficult! They key is to know what to look for by knowing the styles and brands that align with you God created YOU to be!
That is exactly why I created my Style Quiz. Now granted, it’s certainly not super extensive and involved, but it is a quick fun little way to be familiar with the type of style that suits you and your lifestyle BEST. Have you taken my quiz yet? If not - you can do that right HERE. Go take it and come back and let’s talk through the styles a little bit.
Now I will be the first to tell you that the four style types I chose could not possibly describe the ‘perfect’ style type for each and every woman on earth. God created each and every one of us in a unique way, with unique preferences, characteristics, gifting and so on. There are millions of different styles associated with each of us women. That said, these are four broad style types that I believe women can relate to at least one - in one way or another - that describes the types of style that you would gravitate towards. Okay, let’s review each of the styles and what makes them unique.
Natural Beauty - this is THE most popular style type of the four and likely the one that people naturally describe themselves anyway as I think most women would say they like to keep things simple and basic when it comes to style & beauty - especially busy momma’s. Nobody wants complicated or high maintenance. Let’s say that again. Nobody wants complicated or high maintenance. The Natural Beauty types especially - as the main objective here is to look good, but not have to try to hard to do it. They like simple, easy pieces that are easy and comfortable to wear. They tend to be a bit less ‘tailored’ and opt for cute and comfy most of the time. And Natural Beauty’s place significant value on QUALITY - quality of people they spend time with, quality of products they use, quality of wear and purpose behind things.
Effortlessly Classic - the second most popular style type is the Effortlessly Classic. I love this style type because they make it look EASY. This is the woman who is put together! She loves clean lines, goes for pieces that have structure to them, and has a ‘class’ about her that shines through in everything she does. She makes style look easy because it’s not overly complicated. She loves neutral, classic colors such as taupe & navy and loves a good splash of color to mix things up. Similar to the Natural Beauty, she loves to keep things simple and loves quality products. Once she finds the brands and products she loves - she is a customer for LIFE!
Soft & Romantic - this style type is one of my favorites! I love the feminine feel of the Soft & Romantic - soft, flowy and beautiful pieces that move with her. She floats as she walks and is just a ray of sunshine! Colors of a beautiful sunset are what you would see typically on a Soft & Romantic with beautiful yellow and pink hues with lots of soft, floral patterns as well. She exudes soft, warm, loving vibes and attracts many her way as her style is very approachable.
Modern Trendsetter - this is a style type that I think more women actually ARE then they give themselves credit for! The trendsetter is edgy, unique and always with a personal flare. Don’t be mistaken here - the Modern Trendsetter does like to be on or ahead of the trends, yet they do so in such a way that honors their own unique style. It’s not about being cookie-cutter or looking like the magazines; it’s more about using trends to their own benefit vs. the other way around. I love to watch and learn from the trendsetter. They are daring, bold and confident. They know who they are and what they like. Period.
I love to see women step into and own their personal style and uniqueness. It’s such a gift to be aware of who you are stylistically and then from there, own it! Knowing your style is the first step! Start with the Style Quiz and then from there, let’s use your style to build your own personal brand based on the unique gifts that God created you with! Friend - it’s time to shine bright and boldly and I would LOVE to help you do that!
