July 19, 2012 – Updated Personal Style-section
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
