Ingenue Style Guide

One question I get often on my IG account (@be_a_spring) is related to style — and specifically people to follow with that same style and best stores to shop. So here I am, doing enneagram 5 things, and creating your go-to resource for each basic style archetype. Let’s start with Ingenues since that’s what I am and I’m most familiar with it.

Information included in each of these blogs is based on information I have personally collected or crowd-sourced from fellow color and style clients. I am not affiliated with House of Color in any way. These lists are not inclusive of all accounts or consultants; I’ve included those who are most active on social media and often share outfit inspiration that is consistent with their clothing personality. Shopping through my links is always appreciated, as they are commissionable when available.
