In continuing the summer “Fashion Fridays” posts, I thought we’d talk about personal style this week. When I used to have my little fashion side business, we categorized women into four categories. For the most part, I asked women with which style they could best identify. On the show, “Sex and The City,” the characters each had four distinct style personalities and dressed accordingly. By way of example, I’ll use the four main characters from the show to illustrate my point.
The four primary styles are as follows:
Miranda-The Natural
1. The Natural Dresser

Isn’t afraid of new looks
Whichever type you are, you don’t have to remain that way. You can mix things up or cross-over. Admittedly, I’m a romantic type, in who I am and how I dress, but I can be classic and dramatic, too. I’m rarely a natural unless I’m attending a swim meet.
