The Signature Style Quiz


The first step in creating a wardrobe that is quintessentially you is to understand the various elements of your signature style. Creating it is a very personal thing. Embody a style that is true to who you are and what you believe, and that penetrates beyond the surface. After all, the clothes you wear are meant to accessorize and complement the life you wish to live, not dominate or become the only focal point.

Are You Tuned Out or In on Signature Style?


Most of us understand the concept of signature style, and we want a wardrobe that, at least in part, reflects that style. But it's so easy to get into a rut, or put personal style on the backburner, that sometimes it's good to take a moment's time out to think about it consciously.

​As you think about these questions, try to go a little deeper than the instinctive yes or no, and see if you can picture the answers hanging (or not hanging) in your closet...

Take the Signature Style Quiz


Before you begin answering these questions, imagine that you are about to grade your wardrobe, or sense of style. What would you want your grade to be?

​(1) Do you have a sense of style that nourishes you deeply?

(2) When you get dressed, do you see the essence of who you are staring back at you in the mirror?

(3) When a special occasion comes up, do you have a selection of possibilities hanging in your closet?

(4) Have you let go of the clothes that no longer serve you?

(5) That no longer feel like you?

(6) Have you put together outfits - at least mentally - for each of the ways you normally spend your time each week? Is it easy to find them and choose them?

(7) Are you clear about how you want to feel in the clothes you wear?

(8) Are there outfit possibilities in your closet to meet that need?

(9) Do you know what story you want your clothes to tell about who you are?

(10) Does your closet tell that story?

Give yourself ten points for every yes answer. Let me know, in a comment, what grade you got.

And if it wasn't the one you wanted, I hope this month's blog posts help you raise your grade in a way that is authentic and deeply satisfying.

See you tomorrow!

​Love, Jeanine

I don't feel like I've got any type of signature style. I buy what is comfortable. Thank you for sharing some tips to help me in the future.

You're welcome, April! If you buy what is comfortable, then that is a great base or foundation for developing a signature style. Did you try the quiz?

My closet definitely tells a story, it's says clean me out! LOL I have been in the process of getting rid of clothes that I haven't worn in over a year.

That's wonderful, Martha!! I just did another closet clearing, too. All that's left is my ten-piece capsule. Before that, I could barely get my hand between my clothes, so I am loving the new spaciousness.

I got three out of ten and I will tell you, I am so ready for a signature style! I do have certain outfits I feel pretty in.... but haven't really specialized in filling my closet with them. Fascinating! I can't wait to learn more!

Oh, thanks, Julie! Three out of ten is a great start. And I'm glad you have some outfits you feel good in, because I think that's so important.

    ​Hi, I'm Jeanine Byers :)

    I'm an author,  Christian image consultant, proud former homeschool boy mom of a college student, Hallmark movie fan and big cuppa tea drinker. 

    I believe that creating your signature style is a spiritual calling. It's about seeing yourself as God does and delighting in your own beauty and style.

    I'm specializing in color analysis and signature style for black women.

    As women of color, we often aren't analyzed correctly when we receive color analysis. And all of our lives, we have been given sometimes subtle, and sometimes more overt societal messages about not meeting the cultural standards of beauty.

    My mission is to help you discover, embrace and celebrate your own beauty and style. 

    Thanks for dropping by! I'll see you soon.

    Love, Jeanine
