Do you have a closet full of clothes that never seem to look quite right on you? It could be that you’ve never really discovered your own personal style, the look that suits you perfectly. Finding your style is not rocket science, it just requires a little experimenting.
 
Try several different looks — including accessories — and take a photo of yourself. You’d be surprised at how different you look in a photo compared to your mirror. Which styles look best on you? Which make you most comfortable? Are you over-doing the jewelry? If you don’t like what you see, you know you need to tweak some more.
 
Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum has used the photo trick to check out different outfits, and is a believer in experimenting with lots of styles.

“The best advice I could give is when you see a trend change or something happen that is really popular, go to stores like Charlotte Russe and Forever 21. They’re extremely reasonable, very good prices on everything,” she says. “Just experiment. If you want to try that trend, get it. Just don’t spend a lot of money on it. See if you feel comfortable with it. That’s what I would do when I was in high school and college — like when the skinny-jeans-and-high-heels trend came through, I bought a pair of skinny jeans and a pair of heels, and I went out one night and tried to work it and feel comfortable. Be fearless. Go out with the girls and take pictures, and when you see yourself in the pictures and you’re not so sure, at least you can say you tried it!”

First, take a look at yourself. Are you more traditional, or do you love to take risks? Do you glam up with lots of makeup, or do you like the more natural look? These can be clues to the kind of clothes you feel most comfortable in.
 
What’s your best body part, or the thing you like most about yourself? Is it your shapely legs, your rounded hips, your long neck? If you dress to play up that part, you’ll feel more confident. Conversely, if you have super-short legs, you might want to avoid miniskirts with flats, even if that is the hot look of the moment.
 
If you get confused looking at all those clothes on the racks, look through magazines and find a celebrity whose style you like. Don’t copy their look exactly, since you don’t want to look like a stalker. Just take their style and add unique touches to make it your own.
