How to own your style starts by knowing what your style is. But, what if you don’t have a specific style, what then?
As much as fashion allows us to be “free”, it also creates unwanted clicks, leaving some feeling less trendy than others. But if your style is based on what you like and is a reflection of your personality then go for gold honey, whether what you wearing is or is not currently trending. I do however feel that what one wears isn’t always a direct translation of who they truly are.
Sophia Amoruso wrote in #GIRLBOSS “OWN YOUR STYLE LIKE YOU OWN YOUR USED CAR”.
With that being said, I don’t have a specific style. I dress according to how I feel. I may admire people’s styles such as Gwen Stafani and Victoria Beckham, but I don’t dress like them. Everyday I look different and proud of what a slipped into, whether people like it or not. Individuals with an uncapped sense of style are hard to control, describe and at times hard to understand. One minute they are sophisticated and the next they are colourful, and that’s OKAY!
Never apologise for being YOU!
Below you will notice that my choice of styling is rather unexpected to what I usually do…
Look 1
This cami that was meant for under your blouse, should have never been taken to the streets… Said NO fashion conscious person EVER, but I am sure some of the older generation have a lot to say about it.
Paired with a great set of jeans and some comfy heels and there you go… effortlessly lekker!
Look 2
To deal with the Mother City’s mood swings (change of weather), throw on a chinese collared leather jacket (no1 has time for REGULAR collars).
Look 3
What is a look without accessories and some lipstick?
And KaBoom!!!
Good girl dressed like a badass…
What you wear doesn’t always portray the type of person you are. And like Sophia Amoruso said in chapter 10 of the #GIRLBOSS book “When you choose your clothing right, it feels good. And there is nothing shallow about feeling good.”
So, go on and be fabulous!

Great blog! Question: How do I stay myself and stylish when…gaining weight, stay true to my self when I have to dress for the corporate world ..I therefore now look older lost confidence!
Good day Ronelle
Thanks for your comment.
Most importantly you first need to make peace with the change and then look at what type of cuts will help show you off in the best way. Your style does not have to fly out the window. Rather explore new things that showcases your personal style and incorporate that into your corporate attire.
What would you describe your style to be?
Natural, ethic, afro chic but conservative :-).
Babe,there is lots you can do to pull that into your corporate attire. What work do you do? That may help me understand the limitations.
Thank you for the guidance and tips!!!!
