- Save Time & Energy Choosing what to Wear
Defining the personal style creates a focus within you that will reduce the feeling of overwhelment that can creep up when you’re shopping for clothes or getting dressed. Knowing your style will help you make quicker decisions about what to wear and what to buy. This exercise will also save you money because you’ll be less likely to impulsively buy items that don’t fit your overall aesthetic.
- Increase the Likelihood of Creating the Killer Looks that will Make your Day
Setting concrete goals for your personal image will make it easier for you to figure out what’s missing from your current style, meaning what is the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
- Boost your Confidence and Overall Happiness
Defining the personal image and style that best reflects who you really are will naturally elevate your mood. The domino effect is massive – your more constant feeling of self-assurance will radiate outward into the way you carry yourself. The positive cycle of inside/out and outside/in joy will continue well beyond your aesthetics and into other areas of your life.
- Improve your Well Being & Reduce Stress
The indecision you sometimes feel when getting dressed and the discomfort that can come from wearing something you aren’t truly aligned with results in a stressful tug-of-war within you. Having a defined style creates a sense of freedom and ease within you that will positively impact your overall well-being.
- Elevate your Professional Environment
Whether we like it not, personal style and your appearance contributes to the way people perceive you in the world. In some professional settings, the impact can seep into your credibility and professional success. Thinking through your personal style ahead of time will result in a more put-together appearance wherever you go.

Your style is a form of self-expression and taking the time to clearly explore yourself in this way can be an enlightening journey that leads to a better understanding of who you really are. Be free and have fun with the process, keeping in mind that this is a dynamic process that will evolve as you grow and come to new conclusions about your authentic self.
