Secret Weapons for Your Perfect Style - Begin Here

Did you ever wonder why that navy blue satin wrap is Just The Right Dress for You? Ever slipped into a certain dress, and found that it gives your eyes a different sparkle and makes you feel like you just stepped out of a trendy high-priced weekend spa? These perfect looks are no accident. You can achieve that perfect look every time by applying your very own secret weapons: your Body Type and your Color Season.

What's This All About?

We're going to start this series by talking about truth in fashion and a philosophy that will help you implement an exceptional style.

After that we'll discuss Color Seasons, how to determine your own Color Season

From there we'll talk about each of the different Body Types.

After that, we'll spend some time on Core Wardrobe Essentials (after touching on a few of those here.

Once we're done with that, we'll talk about Selecting Accessories - how to choose necklaces, earrings, belts, footwear to pull together a look.

Believe in Your Own Style

how your Personal Fashion Philosophy can be ageless

The biggest secret to making your wardrobe work for you is to stay true to your own style. Instead of reworking your entire wardrobe to keep up with the latest fashion trend, once you have found your own style voice, stick with it. Update with accessories, colorful scarves, belts, shoes, jewelry, totes and purses.

Core Fashion Trumps Trends

keep more of your fashion dollars in your wallet

Trendy looks come and go every season, and very few of them look 'right' on any but the runway models who display them at Bryant Park during Fashion Week. This season's pumpkin flippy pleated skirt paired with the bolero vest over a navy striped belly shirt with red bordering -very 'in' at the moment- will probably be 'out' before January. At the same time, your wallet will be 'out' the $495 that you had to part with to achieve the latest trend.

Core Classic Trumps This Season's Chic

timeless essentials form a solid personal fashion statement

There is a reason that the Little Black Dress shows up every year on fashion lists everywhere: It's timeless. The hemline may change with the current trends (but your legs probably don't), but all in all, it is a fashion essential that dresses up or down easily - ah, the power of accessorizing!

The only critical concern is to make sure you find the Little Black Dress that works for your body type.

Taking Your Style and Fashion Pulse

(don't worry - it's an open book test!)

Quick, without thinking: Answer the following polls about your closet, wardrobe, style, fashion trends.

Answer as truthfully as you can. Don't worry - results are anonymous! You may be surprised at what you find out about your fashion stance (and that of others...)

So What Does This Reveal?

(we promise we won't peek)

It's okay to find these discussions a bit nerve-wracking. A teensy fraction of the world's individuals are born Michael Kors or Tim Gunn, or spring to life as Coco Chanel or Vera Wang. Yet we all wear clothes.

And we all have style - whether that style is demure, timeless, trendy, outrageous, fashion-forward, t-shirts and hoodies, preppy, droopy, delightful, dated, dashing...

In the long run, the labels don't matter. What does matter is that you have the tools and techniques on hand to make your own personal style work for you, if and when you choose to do so.
