5 Tips to help you find your own style

I have this belief that the way you dress reflects the way you are. I mean, if you wear flowered dresses, very colorful and cute clothes I probably would said that this girl has a cute and fun personality. If you are a fun girl don't dress all black because this is so not you! Anyways, I truly defend the idea of wearing something that looks like you, so if you think the same way, check out my tips to find your style and to dress appropriately as your personality.

1- Take a minute for yourself and make a list of words that describes you (ex: girlie, fun, dark..), because if you are having troubles to see who you are, this list will help you so much. TIP-INTO-TIP: if you are having some problems to finds such words, ask help from people whom know you better.

2- Don't be scared of changes or being yourself! If you are a crazy person, put the crazy in your style! Have fun being you. Of course, you have to feel good about yourself, but there's nothing wrong in being different than everyone. You may take some people away from you, but it helps you to find true friends and people that look like you.

3- Have inspiration people because it will be waaaay easier to learn how to dress appropriately and you will feel good about it.  For example, I have my inspiration girls (as it shows in this other post) and it helps me so much when I don't know what to use or I don't have the courage to use something. BUT JUST AS INSPIRATION, don't become into the person, please.

4- Take all your clothes (YEP all of them, even the ones considered ''ugly'') and try to fit in this new style! Maybe the ones you never had the courage to use or you thought it was weird, works good in the new you!

5- Feel free to use your imagination! If you think that one thing should be used to the style, but it is not what you see in your inspirations, use it! Who said you can't combine girlie+rock, fun+heavy metal?

Some inspiration girls for you:

Alexa Chung (Preppy style) Zooey Deschanel (Girlie+60's style) Amanda Seyfried (Basic+Girlie style)

Taylor Momsen (rock style) Vanessa Hudgens (Hippie style) Willow Smith (Pop+fun style)

So, are you ready to find your own style?? I hope I have helped you!

How Audrey O'Hara and Violet Harmon change my style

The year of 2012 was great for the grunge style. We have Violet Harmon (American Horror Story), interpreted by Taissa Farmiga (what a curious name), that has the amazing combination of grunge+indie, which are my favorite genres (plus rock) and Audrey O'Hara (Jesus Henry Christ), interpreted by Samantha Weinstein, who has an amazing sense of overlays and a grunge style, and both of them have a really lookalike taste of clothes and also a really similiar hair (except the color, of course)
Anyways, these two girls made me blow away by their courage to use those clothes that if it were months ago I would probably never wear them, but now I'm in love with their clothes. My style was sort of basics stuff combined with kinda grunge+girlie stuff. I have changed a lot, and I hope that this photos that I bring to you guys make you change and take risk about your style.

So, what you guys think?? I'm in love with both <3
