July 19, 2012 - Updated Personal Style-section

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 08:16:34 GMT

Hi gals! I just updated the advice and information on the Personal Fashion Style-section. You might want to check it out! You'll notice that I've revised the fashion personas and cut them down from 8 to 6. Sporty is now "Natural"; Eclectic is "Creative"; Urban is now a part of the "Trendy" archetype. Bohemian is no longer considered a fashion persona but a sub-categorical fashion style, a mix of Creative and Natural. I also added extra fashion advice and tips to pages: How to Find Your Clothing Personality Identify Your Fashion Persona with a Style Quiz (updated Style Quiz with images!) .. as well as each page for the different clothing personalities :-) (you'll find more celeb examples!) Enjoy! And let me know what you think by sending me an e-mail
