I admit that I was inspired by this post from a thread on The Fashion Spot.   I love reading the tidbits from other posters about their personal style and what makes them unique.  For me, this was a bit of a challenge because I wasn’t sure if I could sum up my personal style with 10 tidbits.  I’m somewhat of a chameleon, so my look can change depending on my mood or what I’m into that particular season.   The more I think about it, there are some staples of my personal style that never really change.   Here we go:

1.  The majority of my clothing is either black/navy or bright colors like yellow, pink and purple.

2.  I love, love, love colored denim.  I love jeans that are green, purple, gray or anything other than regular blue denim.

3.  The only sneaker I wear outside of the gym are my Converse low-top red shoes.  Since they’re Converse, I consider them to be classic and almost not even a sneaker, really.

4.  For some reason, I consider purple to be the perfect Fall color.  It’s bold and dark, yet very subdued.

5.  I only paint my nails during the Fall, and when I do, it’s a dark color such as black, purple or chocolate brown.

6.  If I had the dough and money wasn’t an objects, the brands I would wear would be Dries, Marni, Ann Demeulemeester, Rodarte, McQueen, and Hussein Chalayan.

7.  Cardigans are a mainstay in my wardrobe in all seasons.   For me, the longer the cardigan, the better.

8.  I also wear flats most of the time.  Whether they are dressy flats for a more formal occasion or casual for everyday,  I don’t wear heels often at all.

9.  I’ve only recently gotten into wearing vintage, and now it’s playing a much bigger role in my everyday personal style.

10.  I don’t like looking too “matchy” and I prefer to mix my colors up.

What are some of your personal style “staples”?
