Personal Style

Updated: Jun 29, 2019

What made me fall in love with fashion was the ability to express oneself without saying a word. Sending an unspoken message to those around you about who you are and how you perceive yourself. Whether you want to convey a message or not, your clothing speaks a lot about the person you are. You can choose to identify with one particular style or you can enjoy mixing a few together creating your own cocktail. Honing in on your own personal style is key to finding pieces that reflect who you are.


Feminine

The Feminine Style is mostly conveyed through texture and color. Soft pastels, floral laces, flowing chiffons and layered elements, all accentuating the girlish and feminine form.
