Intro to the Whimsical Girl Style
This week on the blog we have been discussing different aspects of the Whimsical It Girl, from her lifestyle to hobbies and book recommendations (the rest of the series is linked at the end). I also created a small free resource for the series, a printable checklist of 30 Hobbies and Activities for the Whimsical Girl that you can download at the end of the post. You can shop for the clothes shown with the link at the end.
Anyways, today is the turn of a very important aspect of this girl, something that separates her from others at first glance. It’s unique, it’s chic, it’s effortless, it’s fabulous. Of course, I’m talking about her style. On this post, we will be looking at the way this whimsical girl puts her outfits together, how she manages to look so ethereal and magical with almost no effort, and how she makes her style perfectly reflect her curious and sweet personality.
The Color Palette of the Whimsical Girl
Very important starting point. Before all else, we must establish a little color palette. A whimsical girl really does love all colors, but this doesn’t mean she will wear them all at once. She actually sticks to a certain color palette of greens, some more sage and some more forest, pinks, sometimes more pastel and some other more intense, and other colors might make their appearance here and there like yellow, lilac, purple, beige and brown. Primarily she loves odd designs and textures, so experimenting with those is encouraged.
