Having your own style lets people know what you're all about. Whether it's classic, trendy or sexy, a personal style gives you a unique look and helps define your personality!

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

    WEAR WHAT WORKS ON YOUR BODY. It's tempting to be attracted to trendy items when it comes to your personal style. But dressing your body in styles and cuts that work best for it shows you have a lot of style.

  2. Step 2

    COUNT ON CLASSICS. A classic trench coat, pearls or a little black dress are great pieces to create a signature classic style!

    HAVE A SIGNATURE PIECE. Choose an accesory that can be your "signature piece". It could be an oversized faux flower pin, a fedora, a studded purse, a Hermes scarf or a black wool beret. Make sure it's fun, expresses who you are and wear it every day (or almost every day!)

  4. Step 4

    A SIGNATURE "PRINT". When you think of Gwen Stefani you think houndstooth, red plaid and leopard. Amy Winehouse is polka dots and Katy Perry is pretty florals. Adopt a signature print to add some zing and creat a personal style of your own.

  5. Step 5

    GO FOR BOLD. Take cues from Isla Fisher's character in 'Confessions of a Shopaholic" and go for bold colors. A yellow overcoat in the dead of winter is unexpected and fun! So are bright colored accesories.
