Fashion & Style: Stephanie
Introduce
yourself!
I’m Stephanie Byrd, freelance wardrobe and hair stylist from
Oakland, California.
How
would you describe your sense of style?
I would describe my personal style as very eclectic. I do not
limit myself to one look or a certain style of dress. One of my favorite looks
to portray is an edgy look; layers, camouflage, black leather, and a red lip to
make it feminine and sexy. I love a good hipster look, business casual, vintage
inspired, and a super trendy look where I can express my creativity the most.
But since I work in an environment where I cannot dress exactly how I want all
of the time, I try to keep it quite simple.
Where do
you get your inspiration for each look?
Sometimes I get my inspiration from my
favorite fashion magazines such as Bazaar and InStyle, iconic celebrities, art,
and just life.
What’s
your ‘Go-To’ outfit for when you need to get ready in a hurry?
When I need to get ready in a hurry,
my “go-to” outfit is and “all black” outfit. Super chic, either consisting of
leather, high waist pants, chiffon, black pumps, gold accessories, and a matte
red lip. There’s something about red lips that make you feel like you have all
the confidence in the world!
What are
the three favorite things in your closet?
Three favorite things in my closet are my olive and gold jacquard
blazer from H&M, black leather circle skirt, and Reed Krakoff black leather
and mesh booties.
What are
some of your favorite shops or websites for clothes, shoes and accessories?
Some of my favorite shops and websites
are Zara, H&M, asos.com, hautelook.com, nastygal.com, and
materialaddict.com
What
fashion or styling tips would you give to someone who wants to improve their
sense of style?
When clients, friends, or peers ask me
for styling tips and advice I tell them we need to determine their own personal
style first, what do they feel most comfortable in, and how do they want to
feel and look. I tell them to choose a
couple of current trends from a known fashion magazine and I will help them
recreate these looks with keeping their personal style in mind.
A few small tips; in fashion today, one does not have to match,
don’t be afraid to mix prints especially if the prints are of a similar color
story, and when you’re not so sure, keep it simple and accessorize. I also tell
my clients to make sure that they are confident about their outfit before
he/she leaves their house or he/she will have an uneasy feeling all day. Lol!
Its true. Everyone should take inspiration from all around them but find ways
to make it their own.
Is there
