Style 101 – YOU ARE HERE


My name is Katy and I’m a fashion lover with years of experience in helping people find their own personal style.

Personal style is more than just the clothes you wear. It’s a reflection of who you are, how you feel, and how you want to present yourself to the world. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining what you already love, this guide will help you define and embrace your signature style with confidence.

Step 1: Understand Your Lifestyle and Needs

Before diving into trends or aesthetics, take a moment to assess your lifestyle. Ask yourself:

  • What does my daily routine look like?
  • What kind of outfits make me feel my best?
  • Do I need more casual, business, or event-ready looks?

Your style should align with your day-to-day activities so that dressing up feels effortless and natural.

Step 2: Gather Inspo

Look for inspiration everywhere—Pinterest, Instagram, magazines, movies, and even people you admire. Create a mood board or save outfits that speak to you. Over time, you’ll notice patterns in colors, silhouettes, and overall vibes that resonate with you.

Step 3: Declutter / Curate

Go through your current wardrobe and ask yourself:

  • Does this piece make me feel good?
  • Have I worn this in the past year?
  • Does it align with the style I want to achieve?

Donate or sell items that don’t fit your style vision and start curating a wardrobe filled with pieces you love.

Step 4: Build a Versatile Wardrobe

Invest in staple pieces that work well together and serve multiple purposes, such as:

  • A well-fitting pair of jeans
  • A classic blazer
  • Comfortable yet in-style shoes
  • Basic tops in neutral colors
  • Statement accessories to add personality

Having a strong foundation allows you to mix and match effortlessly.

Step 5: Experiment / Evolve

Personal style is never static—it grows with you! Try new things, take fashion risks, and don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. If something doesn’t work, you can always adjust and refine.

Step 6: Own It

The key to great style is confidence. When you feel good in what you’re wearing, it shows. Stand tall, own your look, and remember that your personal style is uniquely yours.

Final Thoughts

Finding your personal style is a journey, not a destination. It’s about embracing what makes you feel good and expressing yourself authentically. Keep exploring, refining, and most importantly—don’t take yourself too seriously!
