I have been asked a number of times about my style during interviews .
I usually go blank when someone asks me to describe my style . 
Does that happen to you as well ?
Now talking about personal style ,
Should we confine ourselves to the terms ( boho-chic , edgy ..) given by the society OR
 widen our perspectives & think out of the box ?
Here are some points that helped me to discover & develop my style :

– FIND AN INSPIRATION : BLOGGER / CELEBRITY
Before you begin your journey ,
it’s very important to find an inspiration ! Be it a celebrity or a fashion blogger . A number of celebrities have inspired my personal style
 ( Rachel zoe , Zooey deschanel & Nicole Richie) .
Pinterest is also a great way to create your very own style diary . Pin your outfit or repin inspirations.
– ASK YOURSELF SOME QUESTIONS
Do you like structured blazers or slouchy cardigans ? What’s the type of necklace you like ? Long or short? Sneakers or heels?
These are some of the questions you need to ask yourself.
Always remember that your comfort comes first. 
If you’re not comfortable wearing something , it will automatically lower your confidence. 
(Exception : heels)
– FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS
“Oh look a pretty jacket!” Friend ” I don’t think that might suit you!”
That’s where the problem begins!
Follow what your heart says . Once you follow your instincts , it will automatically help you in choosing the right pieces to build a fabulous wardrobe .
– STYLE QUIZZES – DO THEY WORK ?
Since my teenage years , i have answered a number of style quizzes . 
Some say i have a “classic” style whereas others say i am “Boho-chic”. 
Do not put yourself in a box , get rid of the box!
 Knowing your style is important but describing it isn’t!
– DON’T LIVE FOR PEOPLE’S APPROVAL
A number of us are people pleasers . We dress for people’s approval. 
By doing this , you’re not only destroying your personal style but also lowering your self esteem .
– EXPERIMENT
 We all grow up , don’t we ? 
Your personal style evolves and you will be shocked to see your photos 3 yrs from now & how your stye has evolved!
We get inspired through the photos and videos we watch on a day to day basis and this helps us to experiment & tweak some parts of our personal style.
Love  leather pants?
Try it! 
If it works for your body type , good . If it doesn’t , move on!
– PREPARE THE NIGHT BEFORE
I always believe in preparing the night before. If you have an interview to attend or have to go on a  date , just prepare the outfit the night before and you’re set!
– PERSONALITY = STYLE
Your style says a lot about your personality . In my case , i prefer wearing heels 4 days a week and i slip onto flats on weekends .  I am a big fan of blazers / jackets and anything structured & a pop of colour is a must!
What’s your personality?
COMPLETE AN OUTFIT
This is something that i have been following lately.
When you go shopping , try completing an incomplete outfit that you already own.
For example , 
if you have a beautiful skirt and shoes that go with it , try to look for the top when you go shopping.
You will not have an “Oh i don’t have anything to wear !” moment again .
– MAKE A PIZZA
 You might be like “What?”
Well..start off with the base , the basic crust .
Invest in a crisp white shirt , a little black dress , flats ,  a structured blazer , cardigan , a great bag , A-line skirt and jeans.
Now it’s time to add some toppings!
The toppings consists of some crispy rings , edgy accessories to add some spice , soft scarves and vintage sunglasses.
A pizza is incomplete without the toppings , so always remember to invest in accessories to complete your look!
Here’s a chart that consists of basics that you will need on a day to day basis. 
You can save or Pin it for future reference!
