Are you a bold woman?

You probably already knew you were bold before you took the Style Test.  Of all the styles this one is perhaps the most easily detectable.  The Bold Woman has a very strong sense of who she is.  She doesn't experiment with a lot of different styles.  She is sure and confident when she finds something that works for her.

This woman is focused, driven and somewhat demanding.  She expects the best out of herself and those around her.  She is an intelligent woman who is able to see the big picture and make difficult decisions.  She is a natural born leader.

If you had to choose one word to describe the Bold Woman it would most likely be confident.  She knows what she wants and she goes for it.  This is the woman leading the meeting.  She is generally in management, finance, politics, owns her own business or small country.

This woman doesn't want to spend a lot of time thinking about what to wear.  It is important that she looks good but it needs to be easy and have a wow factor.  She is more concerned about quality than quantity.  She wants to walk into her closet in the morning, pull out a complete outfit and be ready to go in minutes.  She appreciates easy to wear pieces that have outstanding details.  For example, she may opt for a simple black dress but it will probably be of very high quality and have something like extraordinary buttons or an architectural collar.

Probably the biggest tip I can give to the Bold Woman is to migrate toward dresses.  Dresses are very popular, they make getting dressed simple and you can get quality dresses at any price point.

This woman will also appreciate high end accessories.  She will wear the same jewelry most of the time but it will be the best she can afford.  She will not change handbags often and she will carry a very high quality bag for a long time.  She doesn't have time to worry about such things as changing her accessories all the time.  So, she gets the best that she can afford and sticks with it until she chooses to go in another direction.

The top items a Bold Woman should have in her closet:

Iconic handbag...something that is an exquisite quality and will stand the test of time...Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Coach
Black, brown and nude shoes....one pair (at least) for each season.  Of course, high quality.
Dresses....casual, dressy and in between
Great fitting jeans
Couple of silk blouses that go with jeans, slacks or skirts...think Tibi
Versatile coat that goes from casual to dressed up...something like the Burberry quilted coat
Great watch....Michele, Fendi, Michael Kors

The Bold Woman should have as few items in her closet as she can live with.  Anything that doesn't fit, has a flaw or is not her style should go.  These things cause her to have frustration around getting dressed.

If Bold is your primary style than this probably resonates with you.  You feel like this would make getting dressed so much simpler and are looking forward to purging your closet.  However, if Bold is your secondary style then some of this might feel right but you aren't sure what to incorporate into your primary style.  Generally, if this is your secondary style you will want to consider keeping your wardrobe fairly paired down.  Even if you have other styles mixed with your Bold style you will want to have the ease of dressing that the Bold woman appreciates.
