Style is such a broad term, as evidenced by the definition. However, society tends to give a relatively high level of specificity to the word. We’ve all heard the saying, “she has so much style about her,” or something along those lines. But what does that really mean? Technically speaking, we all have style, and it’s our very own style. As it should be.
So now that you are clear(?) about what style is or isn’t, how does that translate to what BellinghamSTYLE is about.
Since I’m using technical jargon, BellinghamSTYLE is a social media platform designed to provide “style” inspiration and local resources.
As a reader, you don’t need to be a style expert when it comes to fashion, home decor, beauty, party/event planning, etc. What you do need to be, is you, to do things with your own flare and style, have fun while doing it (whatever “it” may be), and doing “it” with STYLE!
BellinghamSTYLE is here to help along the way!
