Yep, that’s me. The picture quality is not pristine because of my attempt at taking photos of myself with an iPhone and a mirror, but you get the general idea of what I’m wearing.

Sometimes I find it hard to locate a middle ground between my personal style at work and my personal style in my free time. Can there be a way to get across your personal style no matter what venue you are in?

I think that there is.

I’d describe my personal style as elegant, stylish and a little off-beat. That, however, is in a perfect world. All too often, I stand in my room, staring at my closet and thinking, “I have no idea what to wear!”

Sometimes I get it right, but I get it wrong just as often. But, developing your own personal style requires some trial and error every now and then.

Here’s what I’m wearing in the photo:

Work

• Proenza Schouler for Target skirt
• H&M belted buttondown (without the belt)
• Isaac Mizrahi for Target mary jane heels

Play

• Forever 21 silk strapless dress (bought for $5.99)
• Forever 21 belt
• Target flip flops
• Leather cuff bought in Mexico
• Earrings from Honduras (present from my father)

I’d estimate the total cost of the Work outfit to be about $35-40. The total cost of my Play outfit was probably around $25.
