What do you know about Style?

Well...what DO you know about Style? I can tell you many things about my style. For instance, I would prefer wearing a collared shirt over a t-shirt in every and any occasion. Or, that I tailor and hem all of my pants as I can't stand wearing pants/jeans directly off of the rack. What I want to share about style is that there are a number of definitions that populate as soon as you Google search the word "style".(Continue reading below).

Let's hope that I didn't lose you in all of the definitions.I'll share what stood out to me the most...EVERY SINGLE MEANING(with the exception of 19).

 Here's why each meaning is important:

Each definition merely communicated the centralized message of doing things in a particular or personal way. I am a huge advocate in doing things simply because it appeals to you regardless of what comments or questions you receive. I like to think of style as a form of art. Style takes practice, and isn't formulated or gained in one day or purchase. Style is an extension of your creativity as you are able to physically display it for everyone. And with that, I am welcoming and inviting you to enjoy my journey through blogging. Fear and judgement have been two big factors that have stopped me from sharing and expressing my love for clothes.That will no longer hinder me from publishing my content, as I'm glad that I am able to finally gather up the courage to show you my style.
