Adding Inspiration to Uninspired Style

Adding Inspiration to Uninspired Style
2010/02/16 Maya H.

Last week, I wrote an article on the fashion and style trends for spring/summer 2010 and the week prior to that, I highlighted fall 2010 pieces for a few top designers -- not sure about all of you but, in general, I have been uninspired.  No ill-will or misfortune intended for our style icons and mavens but, I am officially moving into the "Doubting Thomas" camp when it comes to what's "haute"!

As I step back to ask and answer why I am feeling so uninspired, a thought pops into my head....why not turn today's fashion and style trends on their head?  Instead of looking at what every designer drops in my lap as the next 'end all, be all', why not figure what I like and what I want to see?!?!  And then yet another thought worms its way into my mini- think pad know as a brain... that is precisely what personal style is all about - dah! 

Taking what you see, tossing it into a mixing bowl with a little hint of personal sauciness, a sprinkle of "ohhh Ilove it", a touch of "hmph, I got this!", and a smidge of "I look like a ROCK STAR in this" -- that's personal style!

So on this day, we should solemnly swear to turn our fashion frowns upside down along with they're style norms.  Instead, wear what looks good on you....what makes you feel like you're ready for the runway....what puts a little extra sauce in your sashay....what makes your engine go "vrooom"....what makes your inner kitten pppuuurrrr.....and what makes you ready for 'what's next?!'!

What about you?  Are you ready?!  What defines your personal style?
