Having spent the past few weeks at numerous events and chatting to many men and women it seems as we get older you can fall into one of two categories. You gain more confidence in your style and clearly know who you are and how you want to dress. Or you have lost your way and are looking for inspiration to define your style now. You could be stuck back in a moment of time, yet your lifestyle has changed and your current look does not meet that brief.

The best place to start is to think about the following questions.

What is your current life style? How do you spend each day and what do you need or want to wear.
What style do you like on others that you are inspired by? It is not about being someone else, it is about idea gathering. Understanding what will suit you and your body shape.
What do you want your clothes to say about you? Your outfit will tell a story and you are the author so choose how you are presented.

Then from there take some time to review what is in your wardrobe and select the pieces that match the story and style you want to tell. Create a list of what is missing and then over time and when budget permits start your journey to evolve and update the wardrobe.

This is not about buying expensive designer clothing, unless that is your preference, this is about creating a style you feel stylish, comfortable and your authentic self in. It can be so easy to be stuck in a rut and go to the same pieces every day. We wear 20% of our wardrobe, 80% of the time. Challenge your self to change it up.

I love to find inspiration through people watching, social media channels like Instagram and Pinterest, in magazines (I am old school) and wandering through boutiques. If you need any assistance the personal styling world is filled with talented stylists who can help you along the way.

Finding your personal style might just be the refresh you need.
