Before blogs, before street style, and before Fashion Week became a three-ring circus that only matters for those who have the most attention-grabbing clothing, young women dressed for themselves, their lifestyle, and what looked good on them.

Believe us, It doesn’t matter if those heels are Alexander Wang—if you can’t walk in them, you won’t be considered stylish. Throw on a pair of comfortable ankle boots with that mini dress, you’ll look much cooler.

These are the truly stylish women from whom we should aim to take our fashion inspiration. To that end, we’ve compiled the 7 habits of highly stylish people to get you started.

1. They don’t surf street style blogs and copy exactly what they see, label for label
2. They aren’t afraid of any store—and can find something almost anywhere
3. They know how to style themselves according to their own taste
4. They always look a little less “done” than everyone else 
5. They understand labels don’t make them cooler
6. They aren’t slaves to fashion
7. They don’t dress to be considered stylish
