I used to think that if you followed trends it meant you had a lot of money- which meant you have style. in my mind Style=Money. I don’t think the same anymore… don’t get me wrong you can have both $ and style however style is not something you can buy. Style is innate and stems from creativity and sometimes a wild imagination which neither can be studied or copied or purchased.

Growing up seeing people in magazines and TV dressed nicely and in the latest looks you immediately thought they had $ so of course they could buy whatever they wanted. As my inner style child matured- I realized that it was more interesting to me to not look like everyone else. So I always approached my style with a different eye. I delved more into curating what my personal style would look like.

There will always be trends after trends out there to encourage us to maybe try something new or reinvent a trend of the past to make it new again. How we interpret and make it your own showcases your personality and you at your best. I personally consider myself a Style follower, I look at everyday as an exciting blank canvas where the styling options are endless and come right out of my closet :-)… however once in a while there are some definite trends that catch my eye- I mean how could they not??. LOL

You have to take risks to be stylish… Creative minds inspire others.

So tell me… are you a trend or style follower?
