What is your Style? My style is free-spirited, artistic, and whimsical


Right on Shoe Dazzle!! I simply chose my favorite styles, purses, style icons, and brands and this beautiful array of "ME" was created. Ok, it's Penelope Cruz and some other outstanding models, but the words and pieces really do fit me to a 'T'.  

1. Free-Spirited: As much as I want to accent my square-shaped, curveless body with tight, body hugging clothes, I feel the off-the-shoulder, frayed, and baggy style suits me a little better. The only way I can take advantage of my flat chest is to wear tops the big busted girls can't. Point flat chests!! The other reason I look at Free-Spirited as being "spot on" for my style characteristic, is my lack of knowledge when it comes to SHOES! A category my sister knows far too much about. I'd rather wear hemp strings on my feet than having to choose a pair of heels, which usually I purchase to go with one outfit then never wear them again because of their bright accents or stupid zippers that looked trashy in the first place. At least my honesty to myself and lack of certain 'things' and certain categories will create for a more comfortable, free-spirited style that suits me.

2. Artistic- I enjoy turquoise and shirts that look like they are splattered in paint. But beyond the obvious. Artistry comes from a personal opinion and unique style that not everyone needs to understand. For instance, my friend wears a different color shawl every day. I don't have to understand it, but they've actually started to grow on me because of her love and confidence in SHAWLS. Anything that references the '60s, '70s or '80s is art to me. Definitely shows my age, but Vintage Beatles, Ramones, and Smurfs.

3. Whimsical- whim·si·cal/ˈ(h)wimzikəl/- Playfully quaint or fanciful, esp. in an appealing and amusing way.
My style has a comfortable, simple feel but I always try to have a piece that screams, "I'm amusing!" :)  What can I say?? When I have accessories like this sombrero, appeal just comes natural.

Final Note: The best way to grow into your style and look good in what you wear is 1. confidence and 2. dress for your body type as my sister first told me in 7th grade. With these two rules, I know exactly where my free-spirited, artistic and whimsical style comes from.

Thanks again http://www.shoedazzle.com/, for letting me evaluate my style :)
