Personal style is one of my favorite things to discuss with people. I find non verbal communication like style to be an important part of self expression. Recently on Instagram I shared the 10 major Style Types and common pieces, fabrics, and details you might find within those style types. One of the main reasons I wanted to do this is I’m hoping to begin my own styling service soon. I currently don’t have a launch date, but as always, if you need help I’m happy to help! One of those ways, is rolling out this blog post. Below, I’ll highlight the 10 Style Types and share a some outfits too.
