Style! Who's Got It?

Where does style come from? Who's got it? Who doesn't?

Some people can buy the most expensive clothing - beautiful clothing and still not look great! It's not expensive and great looking clothing that gives you style - it's you - it's something that a person just has. I guess you can try to buy it - a good salesperson can help you pick out things that are right for you - but you have to something that comes from within you! You can't buy that!

I knew someone once who "came into some money" and started shopping like a mad woman - beautiful expensive things - tons of them! But the linen was always crumbled looking on her - now that is what linen is all about - but on her it just looked awful - she just looked disheveled! Her blouses were always hanging out of her pants or skirts (of course now it's the style to have your shirt hanging out - then it wasn't!) - it didn't matter what she wore - she was messy, sloppy - she did not have style! And nothing was going to change that!

I see a lot of young women who are not spending a fortune on their clothing - yet they look fabulous - they wear it well, it fits - it works - they've got style! It really isn't something that you can buy!

I love clothing - I have always loved clothing - from the time I was a little girl - I had my own style - I still do! I'm lucky!

The one thing that really makes me crazy is a woman who needs her friends approval before she will buy something. She doesn't have enough faith in her own taste to buy something. And believe me, you can't always trust your friends! I have seen women looking really fabulous in something - really fabulous! and what does the friend say? "Oh, I don't know - I don't like it". And BINGO - the other gal doesn't buy it! I guess there are times when I might ask an opinion - but overall, I know what I like and what I want to wear.

Shopping should be fun!
