Building a look takes time and thought, and frankly, can go horribly wrong. Think Jersey Shore (GTL - "good to laugh" at), Cher (tall and thin and famous or not, it's just never worked), or the "busy mom" (either trying to stay hip and trendy and ending up looking like their teenage daughers or not trying at all and looking 10 years out of date). The "looks" that have the longest shelf-lives and feel the most authentic and chic are ones that are totally symbiotic with their inhabitants.
The goal is to find your "look" but not get stuck in it. I would call my personal "look" slightly tailored, effortless and street conscious, slightly edgy with a high-low sensibility and attention to detail. Depending on the season, point in my life, etc. I might change up the layers of the look, but the core always stays the same. I always stay true to myself but remain creative. That, to me, is the pilar of style.
