The Power Of The Personality Piece: 3 Signature Style Essentials

There are two ways to look at your Wardrobe From Scratch.

1. 12 pieces that mix and match to create multiple outfits? What more do I need?
2. 12 pieces that mix and match to create multiple outfits? It’s a start.

If you, like many women, do not feel like 12 pieces are all you need for a full and functional wardrobe (or even if you do), read on.

Because your wardrobe might be missing a little bit of spice. Seasoning. Salt.

Salt makes yummy food yummier, and a little seasoning can be just what your wardrobe essentials need to go from simple separates to cohesive outfits.

I’ve identified the 3 items that will have the most impact on the most outfits, and I call them personality pieces.

A personality piece is most often an accessory or a jacket, because these are items that can be worn with a variety of outfits for maximum impact.

A great pair of shoes, for example, can be worn with all of your basic wardrobe from scratch pieces and can instantly transform basic outfits into signature looks.

That’s why I chose 3 categories as the most impactful signature style pieces in any wardrobe:

1. Shoes
2. Jackets
3. Jewelry (or other accessory, such as hat or scarf)

Here, I show you how to take your Wardrobe From Scratch, add 3 Key Personality Pieces, and create your own Signature Style.

Jewelry

The subtlest of the categories, in order for jewelry to be a personality piece it needs to be impactful in an outfit and also say something about your personal style. That means very subtle and classic pieces are often not going to have that same level of impact.

These jewelry items have enough style to serve as personality pieces.

All of these items can be found here.

Jackets

While a jacket might be a little more memorable than a pair of shoes, it’s also more impactful, and can instantly transform an outfit.

All of these items can be found here.

Shoes

Possibly one of the most versatile and impactful items you can wear, the right pair of shoes broadcasts your style and makes a basic outfit your own more quickly than any other item.

The Signature Outfits

Using the same very basic outfit formula of a tee-and-jeans, I added a trio of personality pieces to create wildly different looks that express different signature style words.
