I have a few people I go to for inspiration, but I don't copy.

Yes, all the time.

Is putting together outfits with jewelry, shoes and other accessories something you enjoy?

It's not a priority.

All of my stuff is pretty much the same so not much putting together needed.
It's one of the ways I show my creativity and individuality.

I do! And there's so much to choose from it gets really fun.

Are you the kind of person that other people go to for fashion advice?

Yes, but I don't have much to offer.

Maybe a very long time ago, but not anymore.
Sometimes, if that person shares a similar style.

Frequently! I love giving it, too.

Mixing in pops of color can really set you apart.

I always speak my mind; I don't care what people think.
I always try to be demure and lady-like.

It depends on the situation.

Brunch isn't just a meal, it's a lifestyle. What is your typical order?

Avocado toast and a poached egg

Stuffed French toast and bacon
A smoothie with pancakes on the side

A big, messy breakfast sandwich

Do you like to stand out in a crowd or do your best to blend in?

I'm fine with blending in.

Standing out is what I was born for.
If I am to stand out, I want it to be for the right reasons.

Blending in with the right people is as good as standing out.

What would your 'brand' look like if you had to create one solely around your personal style?

Effortless and cool, clean lines, simple colors

It would be empowering and soulful.
Sweet and sentimental

Thinking about the way others perceive you, how do you think that is?

Probably like I don't care about anything much because I'm so chill.

That I'm broody and moody and can't act 'normal.'

I don't have my own style because I just take inspiration from others.

Who is your ultimate style inspiration?

Gwyneth Paltrow

Avril Lavigne
Zooey Deschanel

Olivia Palermo

I'm good either way honestly.

In it, for sure.

I've just always known what I like.

When I got really into music as a young teen
I think when I started watching more movies and seeing what was out there.

Yeah, when I discovered online shopping.

Go shopping

Can you describe what a style rut means to you?

When I feel like I need a change in my life, and I start with clothes

About This Quiz

When you think about your favorite celebrities or other people you know and their style, do you associate it with certain words? Do you describe your best friend as boho because of her style? Or maybe your mom as old-school because she still rocks her styles from the 80s?

This is something people do naturally, and it's not a bad thing. Assigning a personality to someone's style is a normal way of trying to figure it out and put it all in one cohesive category. It only becomes a problem if you start judging someone based on their style personality.

Figuring out your style personality is a really fun adventure, as well, especially because style is not linear. You don't have the same style you maybe had when you were 12, but there are still elements of that in who you are today. And who you are today will also carry with you in your later years, when who knows what your style will be.

As other things in your life evolve, like getting married, having a family, so too will your style. Needs change, wants change and available styles change. Knowing your overall style personality can make it easier to navigate the racks when there seems to be endless choices. What is your style personality? Take this quiz to find out!
