As some of you may be aware I have been having a lot of technical problems with my blog - very frustrating!  For some reason I am unable to post pictures or photos, and I have been trying desperately hard to resolve this, but so far to no avail!  Please bear with me while I try to resolve these problems.  In the meantime, I am able to post the text so hopefully that is better than nothing for right now!  Apologies to all!!!

A week or so ago I posted about different personal styles, and today I want to cover my final two styles.  They are the minimalists and the eclectics. 

We all have our own personal style, and once we find a style that suits us we can use this for our signature looks.  Don't feel like you have to stick with just one particular style of dressing however.  You can have a couple of different styles that work for you, and you can use the different looks for different occasions or whenever you feel like changing things up!  There are no rules ladies!

The Minimalists

Sleek, simple shapes in monochrome, toned down palette are what keep this group looking smart and sharp.  Celebs that have this style include Angelina Jolie and Kate Winslet.

  • Black is your best friend!  The no-frills hue always works, whether in a skirt, top, pant, or dress.
  • Go for a lean line.  Clothes that are cut close to the body but aren't overtly sexy will serve you well.
  • Keep it reserved.  No need to be risque or show too much skin.
  • Stay away from loud colors, embellishments, and fancy details.  They aren't your thing.
The Eclectics

It's all about having fun with fashion for these playful women.  Bright colors, madcap pairings, and  loud patterns are part of the package.  Women in these category include Gwen Stefani and the lovely Diane Keaton.

  • Never say never!  Follow your heart when it comes to picking out your clothes.  Forget what's appropriate or safe, and don't take yourself too seriously.
  • Eye-catching hues and look-at-me motifs are par for the course. 
  • Mixing and matching makes sense.  Try a tailored jacket over a funky frock, for example.
  • Be wary of crossing into the line of tackyville!  Keep one piece pared down or your accessories classic when wearing something wacky.
