How To Find Your Personal Style (w/o Spending Money)

How To Find Your Personal Style (w/o Spending Money)
The best way to look great without overspending is to have a good handle on your personal style. But understanding exactly what your personal style is can be hard. So today I’m sharing my very simple method to working it out once and for all. And don’t worry you don’t have to write things down or come up with words to describe your style. Because often describing your style and then applying those words to your wardrobe is a huge leap and it’s just not very effective. So instead I’m walking your through how I do it and hopefully this video will change the way you think about your style and fashion trends and will also help you find your style from within your own wardrobe.
I'd love to know what you think of my method in the comments below and if you have any questions please fire away - I'll be sure to answer them.
See you in the next one.

Love love your spin on the pinterest outfits - you have inspired me again this 61 year old always runs to her wardrobe at the end of your videos - thank you.

I've built several mood boards on Pinterest over the past year. I kind of enjoy saving pix of cute outfits as a relaxing hobby in my downtime. I've got several categories: French chic, Coastal Grandma, Denim, Sweaters, Boho, Vintage, Trench coats, Khaki pants outfits, and a few others. Of course there is some overlap, but I try to put each outfit iI love into the category that it most focuses on.

I’m also on Pinterest and love it! It’s great for being inspired to create new outfits! I’m the kind of person that gets bored easily and needs constant creative ways to create outfits with what I already own! I know what I like, but need ideas sometimes to make me look outside the box! I also use the shower rod for my outfit of the day! Thank you sharing Leonie! Have a wonderful day, from Canada! 🤗

I think I agree with you that the denim corset top would look better with jeans and the black jacket, which with the orange bag would bring the number of colours down to three.

I would love to look at your mood board on Pinterest!! I have one too, and it has helped me so much in figuring out what I can do with what I own, and what I need to make more outfits. I love the outfit you wore with the pink sweater tied over the shoulders. All of this planning makes dressing so much fun! Thanks for this video!

[kateriicat]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm currently struggling to find my personal style and this video helped a lot. I often overlooked the idea of making a mood board out of laziness, but I finally created one and it's actually really helpful. I also looked through the depths of my wardrobe and found some amazing pieces! Thank you for putting in the time and effort to make this video ❤

I get ideas right before I go to bed. So I just jot it down on a list next to my bed. Then on Sundays, I coordinate my outfits for the week.

Try new combos all the time! Usually I’m comfortable in my choices but get an extra boost when I get a compliment!🥰
My mood board is hanging my clothes all over my five white wardrobes/closets at the top or handles and try out different combos! Going shopping in my closets and my tiny but wellfilled storage room is fun!
Bye from 🇸🇪☀️🌷

I’m fortunate because, having a preference for classic style there are always some trends that I really love, every season. The collared knit tops we call “polo shirts” here in the US are a good example, I was happy to see this classic-based style on trend again. And the pleated skirt is another, though it seems that trend is cooling down a bit, I’ll still happily wear mine. This season I love Safari style, I got the most beautiful white linen dress inspired by this style this spring (from Equipment, I think, my memory ain’t what is used to be). Last year’s very romantic floral, tiered and ruffled dresses weren’t for me, but a tailored, solid-color dress always is. Most trends have been around before and classics tend to recur in the fashion cycles.

This was very helpful, thank you!!! And thank you for sharing your feelings about confidence concerning your fashion choices. I will try to not worry about whether others are pleased with my choices and more about how I feel in my clothes❤️

[donnamcdermott]

I have drastically changed my style over the years from trendy athleisure to goth girl to very old money classic style to 50s style and now im a mish mash of everything kept the bits i really like from them all to find my own style ❤

Barely noticed the music…love the idea of maxing the Pinterest boards this way. I use them currently, but the rail is a great idea to get the visual 😎

[carolinalarrain]

I will start using the rack tip
Thanks!

[tulayararat]

Having lots of mood boards, now my first job is to buy a hanging rack 😃 and thank you for the pink sweater idea 💓

[sandykerrs]

Been doing the pinterest boards each season and find them helpful. One other step I'd recommend is eliminating from your board all the styles that do not fit your body shape - once you have taken note of what you like about it and seeing if you can find a more body appropriate version. Photos are generally all of thin people or extremely curvy of which I am neither and I have not once (like never, ever) seen a photo of someone my age and similar shape that looks even remotely stylish to me. It's a first world problem I know, but with all the influencers on youtube and tiktok you'd think there would be more variety of body shapes to inspire those of us who are not thin and/or young.

I love tan or beige pants with denim or chambray tops. I have three beige pants and two denim tops an one standard chambray shirt. Essentially all the same outfit but the style of each top and bottom helps give me different looks. Winner in my closet!

[dianasantacroce]

This is exactly what I do with my Pintrest already! I never thought to hang all the pieces I have that are similar to the outfits I like together. I will be doing that this weekend. Thank you.

[worldtraveler]

That’s a great idea about using Pinterest to find looks based on what’s in my own closet. Such a good idea. 😊

[karmanjones]

I loved the corset top w the cargos and love it on you!! Wear it!

[deborahmichele]

That outfit you're not sure of (with the joggers, blazer, and blue tank)? You and your body look Amazing and funky! I love it! Maybe swap out the orange bag for a bag in one of the other colors in your outfit (I'm thinking white) to make it more cohesive?
All great ideas in this video!  
I think beyond knowing your style, it's also super helpful to know your body type, and to use a camera to take photos of yourself in clothes BEFORE you purchase them/cut the tags off!
