Do you know about Universal Style? It is a system that helps you discover, define, and develop your personal style. The process begins with nine different Assessment tools that help pinpoint who you are, what you do, what you want, what you prefer, and what you physically look like. If you are a do-it-yourself-er, you can purchase the book StyleSource from www.amazon.com. It comes with four of the assessment tools. However, if you want the de-lux version, go to the "find a consultant" section of www.universalstyleintl.com, and hire a real-live-certified style consultant to help you find your Universal Style. (OK, this is shameless self-promotion - I contributed to the StyleSource text.)
So what does this have to do with your travel wardrobe? Once you know your style, it will be easier to develop your travel wardrobe from your own closet with only minor tweaking. What might change? Well, if you will be participating in specialized activities, traveling to a locale with a very different climate, or to a culture with a narrower vision of what constitutes "acceptable and appropriate" dress, you may need to adjust or fill in with some pieces suited for that environment. More to follow soon!
