5 Basic Closet Staples that I Need to Get

Hi there! I'm known amongst my close friends and family to shop for statement pieces. It's just been a habit of mine that works conveniently for my eclectic style. However, most basic and staple pieces don't often go on sale (if at all), so I'm severely lacking in those, something that I've only recently discovered. For some people, not buying statement pieces totally works for their style, but the whole 100% minimalist thing is not really my thing, but I still need those basic pieces to build my outfit on top of.

 

Keep reading for a look at a few of the closet staples that I really do need to get my hands on ASAP.

 

Farfetch: My City Style Quiz

Hi there! The other day, a lovely lady reached out to me about this new style quiz from Farfetch. In short, it's simply a fun little style quiz to inform you on which city's style suits you best. Of course, you shouldn't let this quiz dictate what you wear from now until you die, but it's nice to discover something new about yourself and maybe it'll inspire you to play up that particular city's influence the next time you style an outfit.

Plus, I'm a huge fan of quizzes and they're always fun to take, so why not try it out, right?

Hi there! We’ve all had those moments when we’re staring at the abundance of clothes in our closets and think that despite all the clothes that surround you, you have absolutely nothing to wear.

Hi there! I’m sure that you’ve all made fashion mistakes, from the cringe-worthy ones when you were just starting out to that ill-fitting piece last week.

Countdown to Confidence: How to Be Confident With What You Wear

Hi there! This post was supposed to go up a few weeks ago, but it’s such an important one in this “Countdown to Confidence” series and is the last one, so I didn’t want to rush it. Today, I’ll be sharing my tips on how to be confident with what you wear. Of course, it sounds simple enough, but it’s definitely easier said than done and takes a bit of time, especially if you’re a pretty insecure person.

Here are links to the other posts if you haven't already read them: my story, getting started, faking it 'til you make it, skin problems, and starting a healthy lifestyle.

I used to be like that. I used to get really worried about what people thought of me, what they thought of what I said, wore, the way I acted. Basically, I was constantly freaking myself out because of all these insecurities and it did not make me a very fun person to be around.

Then, one summer, everything changed. I didn’t bite back my laughter, hold back opinions in conversations (unless they were offensive, then I’d keep them to myself), and I wore whatever the hell suited my fancy. I gained confidence and it pretty much changed my life.

5 Tips on Creating Your Personal Style

Hi my lovelies!  I'm Bohmyi from A Beautyfull Word and today I'm going to be writing a guest post for Coco and Picasso.  I was reading Juliana's lovely post about her personal style and for many people, it's hard to create your personal style.  It's really confusing with an infinite amount of clothes out there, which is what makes it so fun when you nail your personal style. 

I don't think I've personally gotten to a point where I can say I know my personal style but I have a better sense of what it is now than I did before.  It's definitely a process since your personal style will always be changing as you develop, but I've compiled some tips that should help you out on getting a better idea of what your personal style is. 

My Personal Style

Hi there!  Today, I'm going to talk to you about my personal style.

First off, I know that I've used this photo before on this blog, but please forgive me - it was simply the perfect photo to describe my personal style.

One of my very first posts back in March - which wasn't that long ago now that I think about it - was about how important it was to have a personal style because that's what makes you unique from the next girl.

Outfit of the Day: Festival Style

 

 

Instead of going to school and staying in class all day, learning who knows what, yesterday, all of the eighth grade students at my school went to a festival.  We actually had to walk for about 40-50 minutes there and back, so I knew that I had to be comfortable.

I decided to share with you what I wore because I haven't posted an outfit since April and I figured that today would be the perfect day.  If you're interested, you know what to do.  Enjoy!

How To: Be Unique With Your Everyday Wear

First things first, - happy birthday to the beautiful and amazing Bohmyi!  Today is my fellow blogger friend's birthday (check out her fashion blog here - it's absolutely amazing!).  This post is a request from her and I hope that you'll like this!

A few weeks back, I did a post on how to find your personal style.  This was supposed to go up much earlier, but life happened.  But it's here now!

Maybe this will help some of you, hopefully more than the other post.  The idea of this quiz was simply to give those who are a bit unsure about their personal style a good push in the right direction.  Please keep in my mind that this is my perception of some styles, so it's not entirely accurate, but I hope that you'll enjoy it anyway.

"Ohmygosh!  Look what I found!  This is so you!"

That was what one of my best friends squealed when she ran up to me in the thrift shop while we were shopping.  There was something about that moment that kept making me go back to it, relive it.  Today, I realised why.
