Once I know exactly what item I am looking for, I go to my style guide or Pinterest board. Make sure when you are researching, you don\u2019t get hung up on super trendy items. While it is geared toward college students, I found an article that covers some good research ideas here<\/u><\/a>. While some trendy items may be a part of your overall aesthetic, it might be just a passing phase that in a few months you regret. Each item in your closet should be there to last<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you find looks that you like, deconstruct them and decide what pieces will work with your body type, skin tone, and overall style. You don\u2019t want to copy a look exactly from the magazine or influencer, make it your own. If you don\u2019t like carrying purses, don\u2019t buy the purse. If you only wear necklaces, don\u2019t try and put on a bunch of rings. Think of these looks as a basis or idea, and then make it your own by adding what you like, and subtracting what you don\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You want to find a shop that is accessible, friendly, and within your budget. There is no point in walking into a store and not being able to purchase anything. It will add to the stress if the shop you frequent has insincere staff or lack of service. When you walk into your shop, you want it to be a comfortable experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking for the right shop isn\u2019t as easy as walking in and liking what you see. You want to find a boutique that appeals to your style, but also who you are as a person. I also find it helpful to find a shop that I know has a purpose similar to mine. Find a shop that has an \u201cabout me\u201d section, like this clothing boutique shop<\/u><\/a>, that resonates with who you are. While it may seem silly, the place you buy your clothes can have a direct impact on how you view yourself. If you don\u2019t feel at home in the shop, you won\u2019t feel at home in the clothes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can find a shop that shares a similar identity as you, finding your specific pieces will be easier. Some shops don\u2019t have an identity themselves, so their pieces won\u2019t either. Find a shop with an identity<\/strong>. This will help keep you focused on the items you know you will love and want to wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wearing the clothes, you have personally picked out can be a great experience. When you look in your closet and find only items that make you feel like yourself, starting the day will be easier and more exciting. The best part about finding your style is the ability to pick an outfit out with confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you have found that personal style, each item in your closet will feel like it was designed just for you, and that confidence will rub off in other aspects of your life. Fine-tuning and finding your style may feel overwhelming at first but creating your unique look will help you create a more effective \u201cyou\u201d in all aspects of your life. Being confident in your clothes is an important factor in feeling confident in yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As I have progressed through maturity, I have found my style has been ever-fluctuating. As I reach a more \u201cmature\u201d adulthood, I am finding my previous shopping tactics to be lacking. Currently, as I become surer of who I am as a woman, I am looking for a personal style that will reflect that confidence…<\/p>\n![\"accessories\"](\"https:\/\/www.richardnicoll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/accessories.jpg\")
