Last week, I wrote a blog post titled Style and Communicating "Who You Be". I have linked it just in case you happened to miss it. Inside of last week's blog, I explained that finding an authentic style is certainly not cookie cutter. There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to Personal Style. I also talked about how style codes (as I refer to them) are a combination of both Yin (female energy) and Yang (male energy). We all have BOTH, regardless of our gender. Again, if you would like to understand more before I get into this week, I highly suggest you read last week's blog if you haven't already. I will wait...
Now that we are on the same page with how your Style Personality (or Style Code) is determined, let's get into THIS week.
While we each have one masculine and one feminine energy, I thought it may be helpful to show some images of how this translates into an outfit for each personality.
The masculine energies (Yang) are:
- Dramatic (MOST Yang)
- Elegant
- Natural
The feminine energies (Yin) are:
- Romantic (MOST Yin)
- Creative
- Classic
Dramatic
Our Dramatic has the most amount of masculine energy. Dramatics love to be seen and typically hold power roles when it comes to their career.
 |
| Detour Jacket, Striped Charm Tank, Tea Time Skirt |
So, what makes this look perfect for a Dramatic? First of all, Dramatics LOVE Red, LOVE contrast, and LOVE angles and lines. The print-mixing in this look is clean and the shoes even have that puffy little bit of drama and sheen!
 |
| Knockout Pullover, Kick Back Kick Flare |
 |
| Tee Up Tee, Road Trip Jacket, Trooper Pant, Tread Belt |
Elegant
An Elegant style personality loves the outdoors and outdoor adventures. They value high quality and can have a bit of a safari look to them as well.
 |
| Tropic Tank, Tranquil Pullover, Cruise Crop |
This look is the PERFECT look for an Elegant. Elegant personality types love a good cozy knit and neutrals are a major go-to. The ruffle detail and the silk-like hand of the tank are elevated style. The cropped pants are made in a natural cotton-linen blend which speaks to the heart of an Elegant. The Loafer with the thick block heel gives them the sturdy feel they desire.
 |
| Shiver Top, Keynote Jacket, Tribute Trouser |
Elegant personality types love to look dressed up, but it must be easy to move and work. The natural blend fabric of the top with the gently pleated details around the neck and arm add a subtle nod to the elegance they crave. The check print on the pant is going to speak directly to the heart of the Elegant. The Navy blazer has stretch and keeps the look dressy while allowing for easy movement. The wedge style ankle boot allows them to move and get things done with ease AND style.
 |
| Cavort Top, Caravan Jacket, Galaxy Cargo |
The neutral palette of this entire look is very Elegant. The jacket has those utility details an Elegant Personality loves. It's easy to move in, which is a MUST. The top is easy and in their favorite palette. The cargos provide a relaxed ease and the belt dresses up the look. Add in those on-trend ballet flats in a matching palette, and this look is a huge WIN!
Natural
The Natural personality style must have comfort. They are laid back, very welcoming, and also can be creative with their style.
 |
| Lyric Blouse, Road Trip, Jacket, Harlow Jean, Be Twill My Heart Scarf |
My Natural personality types love a good jean that is comfortable. The Harlow is more of a slouchy boyfriend jean that speaks directly to the Natural personality type's heart. She still appreciates polish...so long as it's done with comfort, so the easy-fit of the blouse is perfect. The jacket in a very "nature-inspired" hue that is also a knit is perfection while the easy twilly style scarf is low-fuss and adds a little "extra" to their outfit, because a Natural loves creativity. The sneak just keeps things easy.
 |
| It's a Cinch Tee, Speedway Skirt, Mascot Cardigan |
Denim...but in a skirt is a huge win. This one is 100% cotton and so comfortable that it is a no-brainer. The tee-shirt is simple, but has that slight elevated vibe with the shirring at the bust. The cardigan is neutral in color, a sweater (which a Natural LOVES) and adds personality to an otherwise bland look. Add in the classic white low-profile sneak and our Natural is out the door.
 |
| Piece of Cake Dress, Be Twill My Heart Scarf |
Yep, denim...again! This time in the form of an easy one-and-done dress. Toss on that simple no-fuss silk scarf again, a pair of neutral ballet flats and you have a perfectly easy, but styled look for a Natural.
Romantic
The Romantic personality style has the highest amount of Yin (feminine) energy. She loves to pamper and be pampered. She is all about using her senses.
 |
| Besotted Top, Ashbury Jean |
Pink. Ruffles. Florals. These are the things that steal a Romantic's heart! The jeans sit at a mid-rise and she would likely tuck that blouse right in to show off her curves. She may even love to find a white or pink belt at the waist. My Romantic style personalities love heels, and love a flirty peep-toe and...the color...oh, the color!
 |
| Everyday Jacket, Dottie Cami, Tea Time Skirt |
A soft-against her skin short skirt (she may hem it to make it even shorter!) and the delicate ruffles on that cami which will show off her bust line and curves to perfection. Of course, she will wear the blouse tucked into the skirt because otherwise, how could she show off her body?! Add an all-white denim jacket and tie it all together with a pretty pump that has a bit of BLING and we have a slam-dunk for a Romantic.
 |
| Printed Cherish Blouse, Palm Beach Crops, Tread Belt |
The blouse in this look has the perfect blend of florals and feminine ruffles. It also is a sheer fabric that feels nice next to the body. Our Romantic would wear the blouse tucked into our white denim cropped jean so show her curves (are you sensing a theme here🤣), so of course, she would also want to belt that waist. Top the look off with a gold metallic heel with an ankle strap and she is ready to walk out the door and grab some attention!
Creative
My Creative personality styles love an eclectic look. You may find them strolling a Farmer's Market every chance they can possibly get to find new treasures to wear and decorate their homes with.
 |
| Joplin Jacket, Cavort Top, Tribute Trouser, Tread Belt |
Our Creative style personality loves to print mix. She finds it really fun, so she has paired an animal print tank back with a plaid pant and added on a striped belt to the mix! She loves her vintage vibes, so adding the 70's inspired faux-leather jacket is the perfect icing on the cake. The loafer that matches is also a great add to this look. She may also find a gaggle of bangle bracelets to add to this look.
 |
| Gemini Dress, Complete Top, Ashbury Jean |
My Creative loves to play with color. The top has a beautiful ease and sheen to it, while the jean is a great wide-leg which a Creative loves (and is also on-trend and going to be for a long time ... hint, hint). She adds a mesh dress over the top as a Duster and just lets in sway around her body as she walks. The red flat with the animal print on it speaks to her Creative also. She can't be bothered with a belt, so her look is flowy and fun.
 |
| Pachwork Top, Cruise Crop |
This look has that Bohemian vibe that my Creative personality types love. The easy kimono sleeve with the built-in print mix is an instant-grab and she pairs it back with a wide leg, cotton-linen blend pant that is so easy to wear. Of course, she is going to add a hat to add to the vibe of the look, but creates a bit of additional creativity by adding in that combat boot that has pearl details on it. This is the ULTIMATE Creative look.
Classic
The Classic style personality is all about timeless style. My Classic will always look put-together, even to run errands. She never has a hair out of place.
 |
| Showstopper Top, Everyday Jacket, Tea Time Skirt |
My Classics love, well, CLASSIC! This Navy and White outfit is going to make her heart go pitter-pat. It's timeless, it's put-together. This look keeps the color palette simple with the jacket and blouse having a very similar color and the skirt is just how a classic loves to dress with clean lines. Of course, her pump is classic and will match her skirt perfectly.
 |
| Blue Note Cardigan, Shiver Top, Tribute Trouser |
Classics love pastels, so this entire look is speaking to her. The pants have that tailored feel and the plaid print makes her feel so polished. The slight feminine details of the top make her feel fancy and the cardigan is cropped enough that it works for her look. She is wearing an on-trend ballet flat with a classic bow on the top and in a color that matches the rest of her look.
 |
| No Doubt Pullover, Cavort Pant, Be Twill My Heart Scarf |
While a Classic tends towards a softer palette, she can't deny the vibe of this look. A soft sweater in black (she MAY even put a button up blouse under it and pop the collar) softens the dressier trouser leg pant on the bottom. But the bottom feels like silky luxury! She adds a scarf gently tied around her neck or maybe even in her hair. The classic black pump brings the entire look home!
That wraps up our looks by style personality. Did this help you get a feel for each of the personality styles and WHY they work for each one? While several of the items repeat within different style personalities, they all work well for the outfit they were created for too. The thing about outfit curation is that it MUST be done in totality to give the wearer the full vibe they are looking for.
So, I'm curious: which Style Personality speaks most to you? I would love if you would comment below!
Stylishly Yours,
