How to Avoid Looking Like Everyone Else

A comment I’ve been hearing a lot from clients and followers is this:

“Sometimes it feels like everyone is wearing the same clothes on the internet. How do I get inspired without looking like the girl next door?”

And you know what? I get it.

Even if we’re not following every trend, the way we dress is always connected to the zeitgeist - the spirit of our time. Social media makes this even stronger, because we all see the same images, the same outfits, the same formulas repeated over and over.

The Key: “This Is So Me”

The real magic happens when you look in the mirror and think: “This is so me.” That’s when style feels authentic. It’s not about trends or algorithms, it’s about reflecting who you are.

Style Is Personal

Your style should reflect:

  • What you truly love

  • The pieces that make you feel confident

  • The details that make you unique

And it’s not instant. Style is a process, one of self-discovery that evolves over time, shaped by your lifestyle and goals.

Why Guidance Matters

As a stylist, my work is not to tell clients what they “should” wear, but to guide them in discovering what feels right for them. Sometimes it’s about exploring new silhouettes, sometimes it’s editing what no longer serves them, and often it’s about finding that balance between current and authentic.

Because when your wardrobe feels like an extension of yourself, you’ll never feel like you’re just blending in.
