The Key to Unlocking Your Personal Style

Check out this 5-minute interview with my favorite style inspo Grece Ghanem

We’ve all been there, standing in front of a closet full of clothes but still feeling like there’s “nothing to wear.” Often, the challenge isn’t about having the right pieces, but knowing how to put them together in a way that feels like you. This is where having a style muse can change everything.

A muse isn’t about copying someone else’s look; it’s about finding a person, character, or aesthetic that sparks ideas. It could be a celebrity, a fictional character, a friend, or even an era in fashion history. By studying their style, you begin to recognize patterns in what draws you in — colors, silhouettes, fabrics, or the vibe they give off.

Once you’ve identified your muse, look for ways to adapt their style to your life:

• Swap out exact pieces for ones that fit your budget, body type, and lifestyle.

• Mix in your favorite accessories or signature colors.

• Play with proportions or layer pieces differently to make it uniquely yours.

The goal is to draw inspiration, not duplicate. Copying might give you one cute outfit, but inspiration gives you an entire style direction. This way, you’re not just wearing clothes; you’re expressing your personality through them.

Finding your muse is like having a style compass. You’ll still experiment, evolve, and surprise yourself, but you’ll always have a touchstone to guide you. And when you put your spin on it? That’s when you truly make it fashion because we do know that copying is a costume. Stay tuned for my next blog on polishing up your style.
