Signature You

AA-320
Trend make the world go round and what make fashion what it is today.But we often forget is that what makes a trend is how you feel wearing it; and what makes a trend you own is how you wear it.

The first step in creating you own signature look starts in the mind. This means changing your old way of thinking that the only way something can be hot is if millions of other people are wearing the exact same thing. Once this is flushed out of your system the creating that perfect look comes naturally.

The next building block to individualizing a trend is to define your signature style. Figuring out which style best represents who are makes sifting through trends a breeze. So don't be afraid to create a syle of your own or even mix style becuase the point is to find the style that you feel confident in.

Next, create a statement of the day look, or an outfit that represents what you want to convey to everyone and go from there. Coming up with a statement can be hard at first but starting out with a word can turn into a phrase and a phrase will eventually turn into a statement that symbolizes what you want to convey to everyone that sees you, may make it easier. For example if your feeling fun and girly that day the statement "Ready for some fun, feeling girly in sun." May do just the trick.

The final building blcok to your signature look is what I like to call turning your "something borrowed into something new". This basically means using what you already have or borrowed from a freind and adding it into your signature looks. This often works best with your favorite print scarf, bag, or handmade item. Using something old in your wardrobe no only gives it a new life, but also adds that extra touch to an outfit that representswho you are to the world.

Creating a style all your own puts your stamp on a trend that millions are wearing and brings fashion back to the days when clother represented who you were, what your interests were, and where you came from. The best thing about creating your own style is that you put your mark on an otherwise mainstream trends that have the privilege of being worn by everyone else.
