What is your Fashion Style?

IMG_1438718900228Fashion maybe all about fabric, what is in the stores; what is trending and could change at any time but your style does not change!
Your fashion style is your point of view. To have style is to have something extra; it could be risky, dangerous depending on how you handle it.
Have you ever wondered what your fashion style is? Did you know that your choice of dressing could sometimes define your personality? Did you know that your style gives the first impression about you? Even before you introduce yourself & potentials. Like it is said “dress the way you wish to be addressed”
May 1st & 2nd 2016 was the first annual food & drinks fair organized by GTBank.
All they foodie lovers gathered and of course fashion style was present!
