My Altitude Summit Fashion Recap – Signature Style Analysis

Earlier this month, I spoke on an Altitude Summit panel proffering a 90 minute Blogger’s MBA with two of the keenest, kindest girls ever to add a three letter acronym to their names: Camille Whiting of Friday We’re in Love and Emily Crider of Hudson & Emily

Upon recovering from my public speaking induced nausea, I fisted a stack of business cards and prepared to gawk at pretty shoes.

If I didn’t know better, I would have suspected a flash mob fashion show. Each outfit was visual poetry, distinctly unique, potent with signature style, calling card and personal brand strategy of the wearer.

And as aforementioned, I am an MBA, so I made a signature style flow chart, because that’s what nerds do when they are inspired.

In case you’re wondering what this nerdiness is conveying, I’ve charted the signature style of representative Alt attendees, from delicate yin romanticism to bold yang dramatics, complete with single combination, style category hybrids.

    Women are more inclined to pass on tittle-tattle to bond with friends and build a closer relationship with colleagues but men are a different story altogether.
