I follow a blogger with a great sense of fashion who is in my size range (I have a hard time following fashion bloggers that don't have to struggle for size as I do) and it really has helped. I think in terms of my own jewelry designing I feel like I don't have a cohesive style.

It seems silly to buy nice clothes when I might wear them only occasionally. Still I would like to look nice when I go out in public. The trouble is I really can't find a style that suits me. I don't do trendy, and I'm very modest so no low pants or cleavage.

I think because I was over-thinking it. I found that as I got older and had less time to worry over stuff like that, it just flowed. I also saw that it had evolved (and continues to evolve) over time. This is natural. After all, nothing else about us is "set in stone"!

I'm over 50, but I realized this year that my "style" has always been dictated by what was required of my professional life, or being a mom, or a Marine Corps wife. I've been in the process of figuring out a lot of this stuff, and getting other people out of my head so I can focus on what I think God is saying to me about me.

But I think the best advice anyone has ever given me is to... keep making what you feel is right; style is something that is developed over time and trial. Work hard and let things settle as they will. As far as fashion is concerned, I feel the same way... wear what you like and what feels right.

I think my goal should be to try to maintain some sense of style even if it's just me and the cat seeing it.

Some branch into fun and funky, and some just branch! :) I think the clothes we are drawn to are a good indicator of the jewelry styles we wear as well.
