| Are You a Style Icon? |
| By: Nicole Marie |
| Take this quiz to uncover your personal style: 1. You just got home and you’re still in your work clothes, but your friend is waiting for you in the car. How do you get ready for a night out in a flash? a. You don’t. You would rather cancel then be seen out with a wrinkle on your shirt. b. You slide on a slew of gold bangles, un-tuck your shirt and add a vest. c. You spend time on your makeup. You have a closet-full of dresses and it only takes a moment to throw one on. d. You take off your button down shirt, leaving on your white undershirt and spice it up a pair of brightly colored heels. |

| Being a true style icon means you have a clear message that never wavers. But, it takes more than just clothes to attain iconic status. You must posses the right personality, the right hair and the right lifestyle—the perfect package as some might say. Fashion is a great way to supplement who you are and what you stand for. Unfortunately, most people spend their entire lives trying to discover what exactly that might be. If you’re anything like me, then depending on the time of day, the event, or your mood, you might be channeling any number of inspiration points to put your outfit together. When you take this quiz, it may be more telling as to the person you aspire to be, rather than the person you are today. |

When you feel like making a statement you contrast these neutral tones with splashes of bold color. You are seen as a conservative, polite, and thoughtful individual who thinks about consequences and their future. This mature sense style is a way for you to demand respect, but it also elicits a bit of mystery. What are you hiding under those perfectly pleated and lined layers of clothing? Warning: You are intimidating, so be sure to compliment your flawless get-up with a warm smile. The Glamazon: (21-25) points You know how to walk the walk and what shade brings out your eyes best. You don’t mind what the trend of the moment is, as long as it flatters your feminine curves. You accentuate your assets with different colors and cuts, and make those extra holiday pounds look divine! You learned early on never to trust a mirror, so a digital camera is a must have; after all, it’s the only one who tells the truth. Warning: ‘The Glamazon’ tends to elicit desire from males, so be ready to ward off the boys that are bound to hover. The Bohemian: (26-30) points While you lack flashy jewelry and loads of makeup, you compensate with beautiful prints and textured fabrics. You don’t stand out in a crowd, but once someone locks eyes on you, they can hardly tear them away. You are complicated, interesting and unique, and your style reflects that. Guys flock to you from all corners of the world because you exude an effortless and natural beauty. Warning: Be sure not to confuse comfort with sloppiness. It is truly an art to marry both comfort and fashion. The Maverick: (31-40) points You are the rock star of the fashion world. You like to be the center of attention and are not afraid to take risks. People talk about you when you leave a room and are constantly looking to you to identify and endorse the next trend. You know how to make just a simple pair of jeans and a white shirt look revolutionary. You read Vogue like it is the Bible and spend more time studying the red carpet than for a history test. Fashion is not just an item of clothing, it is a lifestyle. Warning: Make sure you have a backbone, because your reviews will be mixed. Not everyone has your fashion intuition. |
