I flipped thru fashion magazines and decieded which styles I liked the best. Then I would mix ‘n’ match the stuff I liked and made outfits out of them.

How I did it: I looked thru fashion mags and decided which styles looked best to me then mix & matched the styles I liked and made outfits! Claire's is good for accessories. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I wear things and buy things that make me happy! Pieces of clothing that seem to scream my name. I don't buy things just to have more. I just get that piece of clothing that I truly will love for years to come. less IS more! Outfits are like puzzle pieces. interchangeable, mixable, and if done correctly, you've got your own personal style! Read how I did it…
scroompy supporting others..
How I did it: I started by watching my favorite music videos on youtube. Not the most recent videos...just my favorites. I took the feel and the look of the videos and pointed out what they all had in common. This gave me a feel for what direction I needed to go in. I don't have to buy new clothes to let my personal style shine through. All I had to do was experiment with what I already had. But, the next time I go shopping, I'll know what kind of look… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Developing your own style starts with you. What do you wear? Whats your old style? I am a preppy/skater dresser. I call that Seppy style.

I haven’t really done any “work” on this goal, but somehow I feel like I’ve come into my own with dressing and accessorising this year, and (while I can’t specifically define my style), I know what I like. Calling it done :)

I realize some days, and at work it’s unlikely I will put in the effort. Other days I have fun with it. Because I wear a sort of a uniform at work it is a bit of a fun challenge to express myself with jewelery and hair, and not feel like it is too much.
I bought a bunch of accessories at thrift stores to see what I will actually wear and feel comfortable with. This was a way to try things out without spending a lot.
Pulled together lots of shoes, sunglasses, and hats and try to mix it up. Learned to curl my hair a new way.
I try new things out in situations where I am “safe” like walking the dog or visiting my mom.
There are some great blogs like “what I wore today” where real people post pictures of themselves in a different outfit every day. I enjoy looking at these because they are real people, not models with expensive clothes. Chose a couple outfits I liked and try to create my own version of them from things I had and thrift store purchases.
Mmmber glad she wasn't drunk cheering last night.
Gwen Stefani’s grown up style totally appeals to me. And I absolutely adore this hair style!
I have already been looking and I have been picking out things I like from magizines and the Internet. I have also began to buy what I love not what is in style.

I decided on what my own style should really look like.
Inspirations:
- Emilie Autumn -> VICTORIAN, PERILOUS MYSTERY
laces, ruffles, white-red-black + beige & pink, various hues
- Emilie Simon -> FAIRY-TALES, GIRLY
flounces, dresses, delicacy (make-up, pastel colours)
- The Dresden Dolls -> FEMME FATALE, SEDUCTION
from time to time striking contrast in colours, revealing clothing, more daring :D
flowery patterns, grids etc.
what I already did was to buy 3 beautiful tunics and pierce my ears. i also made some attempts to do the whole make-up, or at least the eyes but it’s difficult.
I got my first pair of Converse hi-tops a little while ago. I love them. My first pair of converse were brown and fuzzy and comfy. But I hate brown so I never wore them. I also got a bunch of necklaces that look edible. They look like candy. They are all super bright: yellow, green, blue, orange, and pink! Lol. And I bought two pairs of fingerless gloves. One pink, one white. Both with black stripes. So.. I guess that’s my style.. I made my own bracelet before. But I misplaced it. :( I want it back! NOW! lol.
It’s a vintage bed jacket. It makes me feel like I’ve stepped out of an exotic version of Pride and Prejudice.

“Are there any text resources (magazines, books, websites, etc.) that explain the various style options?”
