Sometimes it can be easy to overthink things. I think that’s true of a lot of women when it comes to their personal style. They ponder their style words or spend months trying to decide on their style personality, and it keeps them feeling stuck. That’s why I decided to do a video on personal style.
Let’s make this as simple as possible, for all of us.
Personal style simply comes down to what you like. That is it. If you love it, and it feels like something you would or could wear (and not an “I like it but for someone else” kind of way) then it can be part of your personal style.
It doesn’t need to be narrow or even that clearly defined.
Here’s the secret. Everything you love has a thread of you running through it, whether you can see it or not. You may feel that you are all over the place or too eclectic, but the very fact that you chose what you chose makes them an extension of you.

Today, I’m going to talk about the quickest way to express your personal style, and that’s with accessories.
If you’re still exploring and pondering and wondering, trying a few accessories that are associated with a particular style can help you explore it without going all in. And it can help you get the look you’ve been admiring without a wardrobe overhaul.
Today, I share trios of accessories that I have curated for different personal style words. Since everyone’s tastes and style expressions are different, you may find that your version of classic or boho looks nothing like the one shown here. In that case, I’d encourage you to tackle the fun challenge of assembling your own personal style accessories. Because you can wear them all the time, they have the ability to transform any outfit.
You can find all of these accessories in this catalog.
And now for the accessories!
