Meaningful Signature Style: The Trifecta

Do you still find yourself thinking about style, these days?

Style is a little excursion into self-expression through clothes. It is self-knowledge and self-confidence expressed through what you choose to wear, a life-affirming expression of your character and spirit.  - The Value of Style, Psychology Today

Meaningful Style & Self Expression in the Time of COVID-19

Style, and the way we approach it, has been turned on its side a bit by our pandemic experience.

Many of us are working from home, or spending more time at home than we did before. And when are away from home, most of us will wear a mask, and we may be more focused on protecting our health and the health of others, than on how we look.

But I believe it is still important to create an everyday signature style, adapted to our current experience, that expresses who we are. And to stay present to ourselves, so that as we change and adapt in response to what's going on in our world, our self-expression, in style, can adapt, too.

Style is the ability to distinctively sort through the maze of things, make a selection and do so in a way that is in keeping with how we see ourselves. With style, we stamp our personal identity on an arrangement of things. - The Value of Style, Psychology Today

Signature Style: The Trifecta

In order to create your best expression of personal, signature style, you need the trifecta. These three facets of style, together, empower you to craft an expression of your style that will both look good and feel good. They are...

(1) Your signature color palette - this color palette identifies the specific colors that were meant for you, personally, against a backdrop of the color palette for your type. Have you taken the free color analysis quiz for women of color?

(2) Your style type - knowing the lines and shapes your body creates will empower you to choose the clothes that enhance the way you were made, by repeating it beautifully. Read my recent post about Kibbe style types and then, take the Kibbe quiz for black women.

(3) Your style personality - this one has you all over it. It's the way to tailor what you wear on the outside to who you are on the inside. Stay tuned, because next month in just a couple of days,) I'll give you a master list of style personality quizzes and tell you which ones I like most.

Style tells a silent story about who you are.

Can you think of three qualities you'd like for your style to express. Tell me in a comment.

See you tomorrow!
