Style is What You Make it: Links à la Mode

Posted on July 23rd, by Birdie in Fashion and Style. No Comments December 14, 2012

Style is what you make it. We are all different and beautiful in our own ways. Many of us have different techniques to display how we want to present ourselves. Some people are very “structured” “prim and proper” and live by a color scheme while others go wild with mixing patterns and have the “unpolished” and “don’t care” look. It’s all about where you get your inspiration from and your personality in general.

Here are some classic quotes on style:

“Fashion fades, style is eternal.” -YSL
“Fashion is not something that exist only in dresses. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” -Coco Chanel
“‘Style’ is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.” -John Fairchild
