I hope you're having a lovely day today, and I hope it gets even better from watching this video.

Today, I am a little bit sick, so I'm going to try to cut out all the sniffling and like keep my energy up, but if it's a bit lower than usual, that is why.

And I apologize in advance, but I'm so excited to film this video.

I've been wanting to film it for weeks now, so the show must go on and here we are.

So today we're chatting all about how to find your authentic personal style so you can always look put together, glowing, like the best version of you.

So we're going to figure out what looks good on you, what works for you, but most importantly, what makes you feel really, really amazing and confident because of course, that's the most important part.

And also, if you do figure out what your personal style is, it does make getting dressed in the morning so much easier.

You don't have a lot of those, I have nothing to wear moments.

And also, it actually helps you to save money because you're not hopping on every single trend that you see or let's say you see a girl on Instagram and she looks amazing in this dress and you buy it and then it doesn't work for you or maybe you buy something and you wear it twice and then never put it on again.

So it helps you to save money, to have a more minimal closet maybe, if that's what you want, or at least a closet that really works for you, that reflects your personality, your lifestyle, your ideal, glowing, but authentic self.

I have a lot of tips and tricks and little exercises.

So you can obviously do all of these if you want to or you can pick and choose whatever you want.

I'm just going to present you everything that I think is very, very useful and helpful when you're trying to figure out your style.

Okay, before we jump into all the tips and tricks, I wanted to show you some pieces I picked up from LilySilk.

So I thought we'd do a little try-on haul so you can get some ideas for styling, some outfit ideas, and they also gave me a discount code.

So you can use the code NIKA20 to get 20% off of everything on their website, but they have really, really amazing high-quality pieces with beautiful materials like silk and cashmere.

And I feel like that can really help you to have a beautiful style if you find those brands that really work for you, that have really high-quality pieces that will last you a very long time.

It's obviously off-the-shoulder, navy blue, and silk.

So it really looks and feels so luxurious and nice.

It comes with this belt, which I've just tied up in the back, but you can also wear it without the belt for a more, like, casual, loose vibe.

I just styled it with some, like, wide-leg pants and then also a little purse.

Then we have this gorgeous, kind of slim-fitted, 100% cashmere cowl-neck sweater.

I feel like an ice princess, but it's so soft.

It's still a bit cold in Denmark, so I would just pair it with, like, a nice long coat, a little tote bag, and it's really nice because it obviously keeps you warm because it's cashmere, but it's still pretty thin, so you don't look like a giant mushroom walking around, you know?

So I really, really, really love this piece so much.

Then we have this 100% merino wool navy sweater.

It's kind of giving, like, lady jacket vibes, so it's really nice because you can dress it up or dress it down.

I'm obviously wearing it in a very, like, casual way with some sneakers, straight-leg jeans, but it's super soft and comfortable.

It has some gold buttons with their logo engraved, so it's super high quality.

Then I also wanted to try out their one-size-fits-most wireless silk bra.

It's made out of 95% silk, so it feels so nice on the skin.

There's no, like, underwire or buckles, but it's still really supportive.

I really love it because it's seamless and I wear a lot of, like, tight tops, especially turtlenecks in the winter, and you can't really see anything through it, so it is amazing.

And then I also picked up two of their white silk pillowcases, which we all know are, like, amazing for your skin and your hair.

It's made my hair so much, like, silkier and softer.

It's amazing for your skin because it's naturally hypoallergenic, so it's just an amazing beauty tip to get some silk pillowcases.

So if you want to try out anything that I showed in this video or just browse through their website, don't forget to use the code NIKA20 so you can get 20% off and save some money.

And thank you so much to LilySilk for sponsoring.

And now let's get into all the tips and tricks.

First thing we need to do is figure out what about your style is already working so that we have kind of, like, a foundation, a lane, and then we can just expand on that and make that amazing and beautiful.

So our metric for this is going to be confidence.

So we're going to be focusing on those styles, those pieces, outfits, that when you walk out the door or when you walk into a room, you feel and look amazing.

Like, those are the pieces that make you feel the most confident.

So the first thing you can try out is go through your closet, find those pieces and outfits that are already working that you feel amazing and confident in.

And then you're going to put all of those into a mood board so you can have them all in one place and you can have a very good picture and kind of foundation of your style that you already have.

So if you take a lot of pictures of your outfits, you can just gather them, whether that's an Instagram camera roll, whatever, put them all into a mood board.

If you don't have that, you can just take pictures of you wearing those items in the mirror.

We just want to get all the pieces in one place.

And if you hate taking pictures of yourself, you can just find very similar pieces online, Pinterest, clothing stores, wherever, and just save the photos, put them on a mood board.

You can use Canva to make your mood board.

You can print them out, put them on a poster, whatever floats your boat.

The point is that we want to have all of this in one place so we can very visually see what is working and that will give you a very clear idea of what your style already is and then we can just expand on that lane and make you look incredible.

The next thing you can try out is a three-word style system exercise.

But what you're going to do is you're going to either look at the mood board if you made one.

If not, you can just go through your closet, look at the pieces and the outfits that you love and feel confident in and then you're going to come up with three words to describe your style.

So I'm going to have some words on the screen.

I found this on Pinterest so you can find other ones if you need more ideas.

So the goal here is that you have three words to describe your style.

So maybe that's flowy, airy, and fun or maybe it's casual, classic, and timeless.

Just kind of pay attention to the colors, to the textures, the overall vibe.

Do you like things that are more loud, colorful, patterns?

Do you like things that are more minimal?

Do you like things that are very florally, romantic, furly?

Do you like things that are sharp, elegant, black?

You know, just get kind of an idea of the vibe and that will help you to figure out your three words.

The third step is we're going to use a little bit of our imagination and you're going to pretend that you're exactly the same person.

You have exactly the same lifestyle, everything.

But let's imagine someone gives you an unlimited amount of money to spend on clothes for your entire life.

What type of clothes would you be wearing then?

So let's say my three words are airy, timeless, and comfortable.

So I, let's say, wouldn't spend a lot of money on labeled things or really extravagant pieces like furs or things with sequins.

I would want things to be like toned down but amazing, beautiful materials, soft things, really good quality.

So let's say I would want to invest my money in like one really long, luxurious, but like minimal, effortless looking coat.

Then let's say I would want to invest my money into some really nicely made like wide leg pants that look super casual but effortlessly put together.

I would want to invest some money into like a straight leg, but flattering jeans that are really high quality.

You know, just get super, super specific so you can see what your elevated like kind of dream style would look like.

Now, let's look at your actual features, your body shape, your coloring, everything so we can figure out what actually works for you.

I'm a firm believer that everyone can look beautiful and put together if you know and understand what you're working with.

So if I tried to look like Kim Kardashian right now, it would be probably the fail of the century.

Not because she is not gorgeous and beautiful, but because we look completely different.
