Most people have a set of clothes in which they are completely comfortable and that reflects who they are. You can use this knowledge to create your "signature" look � the look that "says" you and makes you feel confident and ready for almost any challenge.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to wear whatever you like whenever you like? We know that's not recommended because there are written and unwritten but well-understood dress codes: what's socially acceptable, what's required for your workplace or business, what's suited to the occasion � at least here in the big city. There are always those people who will push the norm in some direction to make a fashion statement or be non-conformist but the rest of us usually try to fit our circumstances.
You can actually be yourself and fit in or stand out by simply taking your comfortable clothes and transforming them to your daily situations. What do you gravitate toward when you're dressing to please yourself?
For example, I don't believe I was born in jeans but I've worn them since I can remember. My legs disappear on the first cold day (which I define as below 60 degrees) and aren't exposed to sunlight until the first warm day (over 70 degrees). One of my inner personas is a motorcycle mama (though my riding "career" years ago was mostly on the back of a motorcycle). Putting these elements together, I'm most comfortable in a pair of jeans, a top and boots but that look won't take me everywhere I need to go during the day. Plus, I'm a beauty consultant and have the "pressure" of looking my best whenever I step out.
My solution is to take my preferences and dress them down or dress them up (except in summertime when less is more!). To complete the casual version, I usually opt for a single color like black (or gray or brown or navy): black top, black jeans, black boots or heeled shoes. A single color, head to toe, is usually slimming and appears pulled-together. Then, I throw on a bright tailored or leather jacket with one or two matching accessories (a pin, scarf, earrings, other jewelry). To transform my choices for a dressier version, I'll select nice separates or a well-cut pants suit with more dramatic accessories and great shoes.
