And it’s also a good idea to get a few ideas from calligraphy. That’s why we’ll have to pay some special attention to designing truly artful flourish. And what is more personified than a signature? However, an ordinary handwritten signature looks trivial. One of the most popular and effective business strategies nowadays is brand personification. Examples of logos with a computer from Turbologo.I’ve got all my signature style pieces included – slim-fit black waxed trousers (Zara), fitted blazer (Zara), bright sweater for that pop of colour (Topshop), oversized bag (Coach) and ankle boots. This is a typical outfit I would wear at the weekend here in London. For now this is my signature style piece. Maybe it’s because I have to carry around so much tech pieces with me in terms of vlogging and live-streaming but sure enough – it’s always there on my shoulder.
HOW TO CREATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE FULL
I am known in work for having a huge handbag (and a huge laptop bag full of unnecessary stationary). Oh, so many hats! Although I am still searching for my current signature style piece, I like to think right now that the over-sized bag holds that coveted title.
Perhaps it has a place in your everyday capsule wardrobe? I went through a phase of wearing hats. What is the one fashion piece which remains a constant in your wardrobe. I love to wear clothes that make me smile – slogan t-shirts, cosy sweaters, cropped tops in Summer and trendy ankle boots – they all make me smile! I am really passionate about personal style, about wearing clothes that make you smile, about reflecting your personality in your fashion. If you feel any way uncomfortable wearing it then I hate to be blunt but that puffy tulle skirt has no place in your signature style wardrobe. Invited to an amazing event and decide to wear something which I feel totally uncomfortable in. In defining your signature style there is absolutely no room for clothing which makes you feel uncomfortable. Figure you the life you lead – what you do on a daily basis and dress for that. If you are lucky enough to live in a sunshine haven obviously you will dress for that. I dress for London life including all the practicalities it demands. London means lots of walking, public transport and high-tailing it from one side of the city to the other potentially more than once a day. Whereas in Ireland I wore high-heels every single day to work. I rarely wear high-heels walking around London – it is just impossible! I live quite happily in ankle boots. My style has changed so much since moving from Ireland to London. Identifying one or two style icons you admire will help narrow down the trends, colours and pieces you find yourself drawn to. Although I have ditched the headbands for now I would still consider Blair Waldorf to be a strong influence on my personal style. For years I wore headbands with bows and channeled my style focus into becoming an Irish Blair Waldorf. Blair Waldorf has been my style icon since I watched the pilot for Gossip Girl back in 2007 (Has it been that long?!). Identify one or two style icons you admire Personally I like to wear something that will give the illusion of longer legs such as straight leg, fitted jeans and fitted but demure tops. I’m also blessed with a large(er) chest and so I am conscious of this when I put my outfits together. For instance I am short, a mere 5ft tall so unfortunately what looks fantastic on a taller person would absolutely not suit me (let alone fit me).
Style is an amazing thing as it can do wonders to flatter our favourite body-parts. Your body shape and size will strongly influence your signature style. This is the personal style I want to share with you today and which I like to think is fairly distinguishable – at least to me! Then there’s the BecBoop out-of-office life. I have one personal style for that area of my life.
HOW TO CREATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE PROFESSIONAL
I lead a professional work life where I work in an office for a large global professional services firm meeting clients here in London and internationally. I find that mine changes up a couple of times per year and I guess I am more aware of it now that I’m in my late twenties. We can’t avoid the influence but there are some easy tips you can use to nail your personal style. Take what you will but I hope it helps! Style is influenced by the seasons, the weather, personal growth, marketing influence and much more.
