These are posts on FINDING YOUR OWN CLOTHING STYLE :

Finding your style :
1. using style categories.
2. on-line style advisors.
3. exploring styles.
4. trying on clothes.

Do any of these words describe how you like to look :
classic, competent, powerful, elegant chic, feminine, vintage, alluring, rebellious, creative, dramatic, relaxed, sporty, friendly.
Your personal combination of styles may be nothing like any of the ones mentioned by stylists 😀
