The Power of Personal Style: Why Originality is Always in Fashion

At the core, what we wear isn’t all that different. The foundation of most wardrobes includes the same key pieces—a favorite pair of jeans, a go-to blazer, a classic white tee, a pair of black trousers, or a standout graphic tee. Sure, the brands, colors, and details vary, but at the end of the day, the essentials remain the same.

So what truly sets one person’s outfit apart from another? Originality.

"Fashion is what you buy. Style is what you do with it." – Unknown

It’s not just about what you wear—it’s more about how you wear it. The way you style an outfit is what makes it uniquely yours. Two people can own the exact same blazer, but one might pair it with oversized denim and sneakers for a casual-cool vibe, while another will do the complete opposite, and go for tailored trousers and heels. One person’s crisp white tee might be tucked effortlessly into high-waisted jeans with layered jewelry, while someone else throws it over a slip dress for a relaxed, effortless feel. None of these are wrong, they are all right; right for the person wearing them. Even if two people wore the exact same outfit, it would still feel different. The personality and individual flair of each person will add a uniqueness that onlythat person possesses.

Originality in style isn’t about having the most expensive pieces or or copying exactly how you see a trend in a magazine or on a mannequin in a department store —it’s about how you see the potential of a an outfit or an item through your own lens. It’s the small details—the way you cuff your sleeves, the accessories you choose, the unexpected mix of textures and colors—that create a look that is distinctly you.

That’s the beauty of fashion. It’s a shared language, but everyone speaks it differently. Embrace your originality, its your superpower, and its what makes people take notice. Experiment, step out of your comfort zone, and try new things. Keep trying and refining until you find the thing that makes you feel like the best version of yourself. Because in a world where so many styles look the same, your personal touch is what makes your look authentic to you.

Some of My Favorite Things…

If you are new to my page, first let me say welcome and I am glad you are here! Also if you are here, you may not yet know much about me. I have decided that in addition to sharing about style in general, I need to start sharing more about my own personal style and fashion philosophy. With that in mind, today I am sharing a few of my own style favorites. If you know me, you know that on almost any occasion—dressed down or dressed up—you can almost always catch me in a blazer, It’s my #1 go-to item. To me, a blazer instantly pulls a look together, making even the most casual outfit feel intentional.

And at a very statuesque 5'2," I’m almost always reaching for a heel of some kind, to add a few extra inches. Before you say, not me, I can’t, I won’t—my feet will be hurting!—trust me, I get it. That’s why I always keep a pair of flats tucked in my bag for those moments when I gotta switch it up. While we all love a good fashion moment, sometimes you have to choose comfort oven pain. There is nothing wrong with making comfort a part of the story. But, let’s be real; there have definitely been times when I’ve sacrificed comfort for style. No judgment, though—sometimes, I just have to wear what’s going to really take my look to the next level and make people take notice.

So tell me—what’s your signature piece? What’s the one item in your wardrobe that makes you feel instantly you? Drop it in the comments—I’d love to hear!

Here are some of my favorite blazer looks and yes, you will see these again, if you haven't already, because I also believe in wearing my clothes more than one time! I wear them, remix the look and wear them again. As you should too, which we will talk about that more in another post...

With Style and Grace,
