Your style is... Creatively Innovative
When it comes to style, you're all about individuality and expressing your creativity. You love to experiment, and put different prints, patterns, and colours together, and you aren't afraid of combining different elements.On top of that, you don't mind making a statement. When it comes to your clothes you're a free spirit and love exploring, especially with attention grabbing accessories.Your favourite shops? Anywhere with a second-hand section. You could spend hours sifting through the piles of used clothing. Patience is not your problem, my friend. You always find the hidden treasures!Your challenge isn't creating a great outfit that expresses your creativity; it’s choosing the right outfit for the right occasion. You have so many clothes and interesting pieces that at times you might not know how you can tone it down, and how to create different outfits from what you already have rather than buying more. You easily get bored with your clothes, but the trick is to be creative in as many ways with what you have, and at the same time still represent who you are. You may also find dressing for work stifles your creative flair but my advice is to find ways you can add creativity to your workwear as this will feel more like you. "Style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it." –Diane von FurstenbergA few creative style inspirations you can do right away….If you're a fan of dresses why not team your favourite one with a chunky knit and some statement boots.Make office wear a little more interesting with an eye catching blouse, a bold statement scarf or unusual accessories.Choose makeup to create a wow factor by either highlighting your eyes or lips.Customise your clothes with interesting buttons.How do you make the change and get the style you desire?Knowing your style personality can really help you hone in on your style. But this alone isn't going to help you create a style that empowers you and gives you unstoppable confidence.Yes it makes it easier, but in order to have a style you love and embraces who you are, you need to have these three elements:BE – your first step is mapping out how you want to turn up in the world and what feels authentic to you. This element helps you find clarity with your style vision, and how that fits with who you are. It’s about adopting a style/s that feels incredible, and aligning it with your values. Getting clear on how you want to show up in the world and focusing on your uniqueness, creates a style that’s specific to you.WEAR– your clothes should reflect who you are as a person, your style personality (what you naturally like), and your lifestyle.When you know this it will stop you wasting time and money on clothes that simply don't serve you, and instead allow you to build a style that’s unique to you.SHINE – Based on the other two elements, you can now build on having a true representation of who you are in your wardrobe. You’ll have the right foundation and investment pieces that will serve you time and time again, as well as having interesting pieces that you can easily mix and match. All of these contribute to your signature style. No more struggles in the morning because you’ll have a functional, cohesive wardrobe that’s easy and effortless.

They have a signature style that truly represents who they are and one that truly empowers them.“So who’s the person behind this style advice…”Hey there, and welcome – I'm Monika 👋I'm an ex-luxury buyer turned Personal Stylist for highly ambitious women who want to up-level their style and take charge.Let me ask you something.
