Personal Style | Elements of a Cohesive Personal Style

by 33 Comments

I had a lot of fun with my personal style in July! From the curly hair to the several prints and patterns I wore, I found myself excited everyday to get up and dressed in the mornings. I also had fun styling different accessories and lengths, like the short black and white tunic dress. Personal style in July was definitely fun and a bit experimental for me, so check out 4 of my favorite outfits!

As I’ve said several times before, my goal is to have a #CasualSummer. I think I’ve been on the right track when it comes to being casual and chic in my personal style choices. The clothes I’ve been purchasing and styling have 3 things in common:

1. Comfortability

2. Wearability 

3. Versatility 

Style should be comfortable because you’re going to wear these clothes all day, everyday. Being comfortable and able to move in any garment is key. Wearability is also important because you want to purchase clothes that you’re able to wear often. If the material is a soft cotton and has some stretch, we’re good! Versatile clothing is the last piece to the puzzle. I’ve preached this message several times, but I’m passionate about stressing the importance of versatile clothing to women shoppers. My rule of thumb is if you can wear a garment at least 3 times, it’s a smart and versatile purchase.

Personal Style in July

There have been several bloggers who’ve linked up and I’m so grateful for your participation! 2 ladies in particular have really caught my eye throughout the month of July. These ladies below definitely embrace the 3 elements (mentioned above) of a cohesive and stylish personal style.

Cheryl of Oh to be a Muse has been one of my favorite style bloggers for such a long time. She too has a good handle on personal style and what clothing works for her lifestyle and body type. I love it! Lastly, Monica of GlamVolution has her personal style down to a science. She dresses with such ease and clarity and her outfits are always inspiring. I love her boho chic and feminine style.

    Your three key summer wardrobe points resonate throughout the board. This is how I dress regardless of the season.
    Very nice looks for July, Whitney. Still my fav is the orange and white kimono.

    Your July looks were all awesome, and your casual summer theme is a great one, especially with this weather! My favorite look was the shift dress and taupe/nude heels, so pretty! I follow Oh To Be A Muse as well, and love her style.

    Thanks so much for including me in this July roundup. Like you, I also had a lot of fun with styling looks last month, and I hope that continues in August. I really love when you wear tunics — they look so fab on you!

    I completely agree with the 3x rule (at least)! I have to get wear out of my clothing (no matter how trendy) or I feel like it was a waste – one of the reasons I’m trying to invest in less trendy pieces lately. Love your colorful comfortable looks for July!
