I am still stunned at the fact that there are people out the that have not become absolutely obsessed with Pinterest, I use it almost every day as a visual to-do list, wardrobe inspiration, vision board and so much more.

Today I am going to share the process I use with all my clients to set up a style inspiration board on Pinterest, and if you have never heard of Pinterest there are quick step-by-step setup instructions so that you can also pin away happily towards your dream wardrobe - so let’s get started.

Step 1: Sign up or log in to Pinterest If you don't have a Pinterest account, go to the Pinterest website (www.pinterest.com) and sign up using your email address, Facebook account, or Google account. If you already have an account, log in using your credentials.

Step 2: Set up your profile, once you're logged in, set up your profile by adding a profile picture and a short bio if you'd like. This will help personalize your Pinterest experience.

Step 3: Create a new board On the Pinterest homepage - as you save items it will automatically try and save them to an existing board you have, or it allows you to set one up as you go. You can also click on your profile picture in the top-right corner and select "Boards" from the dropdown menu. Then, click on the "Create Board" button to create a new board. Give your board a name like "Style Exploration" or "Fashion Discovery." then it’s ready for you to pin from the homepage to.

Step 4: Customize your board After creating your board, you can customize it by adding a description, choosing a cover photo, and setting the visibility (public or secret) this is one of their best features as you can save inspiration for your wedding, etc and collaborate with your stylist, bridesmaids or family by inviting them to the board.

Step 5: Start with broad searches Begin by searching for broad fashion terms on Pinterest. For example, search for terms like "women's fashion," "street style," or "outfit ideas." Explore various pins, images, and boards related to these broad searches.

Step 6: Save pins that catch your eye - don’t overthink it at this stage. As you come across pins that catch your eye or resonate with you in some way, save them to your style exploration board. Don't worry about narrowing down your style at this point—focus on what attracts you visually.

Step 7: Look for patterns After saving a significant number of pins, start looking for patterns or common elements among the images you've collected. Pay attention to colors, patterns, silhouettes, and overall aesthetics that consistently appeal to you. Are there any recurring themes or styles that stand out?

Step 8: Refine your searches Based on the patterns you've identified, refine your searches to explore more specific styles or elements. For example, if you notice a preference for bohemian-inspired outfits, search for "boho fashion," "bohemian outfits," or "boho style ideas." Save pins that align with your evolving understanding of your style.

Step 9: Explore related content Similar to Step 8 in the previous guide, click on any pin or image within your board to explore related content and discover more style inspiration. Pinterest's algorithm will suggest pins and content that are similar to what you've saved, which can help you further refine your personal style preferences. As a bonus go and do the style personality quiz here - only after you have built your board!

Step 10: Consider consulting a personal stylist for a more personalized and comprehensive understanding of your body shape, color direction, and how to best flatter your unique features. A personal stylist can provide expert guidance and help you define your personal style based on your body shape, skin tone, and other factors. They can assist you in finding clothing that suits your figure, colors that enhance your complexion, and provide valuable styling tips.

A personal stylist can work with you one-on-one to assess your needs, preferences, and goals, offering tailored advice and recommendations. They can help you build a wardrobe that aligns with your style and boosts your confidence.

By combining the guidance of a personal stylist with your curated Pinterest style inspiration board, you'll have a powerful toolset for discovering and refining your personal style.
