Do you know your Style Personality?

Millwater Women’s Group

Isn’t getting dressed a funny thing? One would think that getting dressed would come as naturally as breathing - which, mind you, can be a challenge of its own at times! Getting dressed is something we have done our whole life, but for some of us it can be a real struggle.

We as women can be very hard on ourselves; we constantly compare ourselves to others, chasing perfection of what we think style is. But style is not perfect, style and fashion are two completely different things. Style is simplicity, it is a celebration of your life and an extension of who you are!

Of course, there are factors such as lifestyle that influence our decisions in our purchases but having some guidelines to steer us into the right direction can certainly be helpful. Although guidelines are exactly what they are, just guidelines, they are not rules, and certainly not set in stone. They help us make better, more mindful, purposeful decisions when it come to our personal style.

Colour, contrast, body shape, proportions and lines all influence our choices, but personality is the key factor that overrides everything. Once you understand the unique style personalities and what they mean to you, that is when style is born.

Elegant – Garments are simple, understated, well-tailored Classic – Comfortable, functional, credible Creative – A decadence of unusual clothing, mix of fabrics Dramatic – Bold, striking, with effect Natural – Comfortable, natural fibres and purposeful Romantic/ Feminine – Pretty, youthful, soft and luxurious

Think of words that you feel expresses your personality. You will find that one of the above characters will be your dominant character, yet there will be another of these characters that is your secondary. Your personal style should feel good on your skin and make you feel comfortable and confident.

On 16th May, the group met at Stoney Homestead. Sarah Martin, Partner at Simpson Western in Silverdale, had contacted us to see if we would be interested in her speaking to us. We jumped at this opportunity and it proved to be a very good decision. Sarah concentrated on what it looked like to ‘have your affairs in order,’ as we are all approaching the age when this is a good idea.

Sarah is a great speaker and is very down to earth and full of very practical advice. We were extremely grateful to her giving up her time to talk to us and we all felt she was very approachable and a plain-English speaker. Simpson Western are up by the Medical Centre above the hairdressers. We are grateful when people offer their time to us to speak; it is a valuable resource for the community.

In June, we had hoped to follow in the footsteps of the ROMEOs and visit a local food manufacturer. However, this has now been postponed until later in the year as they are so busy.

Please contact me if you would be keen to speak to the group. Our interests are varied and wide. We meet on the third Wednesday of the month.
