Trip using If I say " her style is a trip." Can you know what I'm saying. I'm not sure that the word is used to describe someone is sort of weird and special, is it correct?

Maybe say her style is quirky, I would not know what you are saying if you say trip

It's usually used in the context of something being a bit strange and wild, I'd say. It's rather an old fashioned expression now though, more dating to 1960s America!

Thank you Terry. I'm sorry for replying messages late. What an interesting story for letting me know "what a trip." English is kind of cool but it's hard to say, I figured out that the English speakers use the simply word when they discusses something.

Thank you Cameron. I learned this phrase from VOA website, maybe I studied the wrong information. It's really tricky to use phrases in proper time.

"Her style is trippy" is what I think you mean, as some people have mention before it has changed meaning from the 1960s. I know some people my age that use it at times nowadays in a cool, informal context.
