Greg was spot on, wasn't he?

Scarlet... "funky modern classic" I'll take that, It sounds like fun
Shevia- thanks for the sweet compliment.

Thanks Jonesy, Kari and Sara for reading my description. I'm pleased

I don't have the time at the moment to back to each comment and describe how I see your style. But if you're interested at all, post a separate thread asking the question and I'll off my 2 cents there.

Queen Mum, thanks for the novel. I loved reading it and would like to draw attention to it on a separate thread. It shouldn't be so buried away!

I'm definately in the process of figuring this out. I'm trying to narrow it down. I'm not artsy and edgy. Maybe classic, a bit trendy, and flirty? Practical and boring also come to mind as I am a stay at home nursing mother with a small card buissness. I will have to keep posting pictures to get some opinions I guess.

Your hubby and friends know you well Angie!!

Thanks for chiming back in about that, Taylor. The adjectives bide well with me - it's what I want my style to portray. Good thing its being perceived that way too

I think I have a few different styles, depending on where I am. With work clothes, I would say I'm the ubiquitous modern classic, except for my shoes, which I think have to fall in the bombshell category (all super high heels, high-end designer, bold, etc.).

My casual (not at work) style, however, could probably be described as...twee. I know that's not necessarily flattering, but I really am drawn to things that give a cute/adorable vibe.

For non-work and non-casual (dressy occasions as well as going out clothing), I would describe my look as bombshell, and I'm going to steal Greg's descriptive term and say modern but retro (at times).

I think my style right now would be modern classic. I go mostly for basic items that I can change and bring up to date with shoes and accessories. The pieces that are too stand-alone soon get boring for me. I fight an attraction to boho but may use a bit of ethnic fabric, pattern or jewelry mixed with more classic pieces.
My ideal would be what Greg said of Angie's style. "Elegant, modern yet retro, on-trend (or trendy), unexpected, and very polished". As I said once before, I really want to look like those fabulous older French women. How do they do it!?

This has just been the most fabulous read!! Thank you all for sharing!

Angie I LOVE the descriptions of you and think they are spot on too - very similar words to the ones that were forming in my mind too!

As for me, no idea how you would describe my current style, but I have worked out that I am undoubtedly modern classic at heart.

I'm craving the refined, calm, simple but elegant look that I see MC as being. (I think its very relevant that these are the words I'm craving most in my life in general - calm, simple, etc!).

So as of now, I'm working on refining my wardrobe so that its more true to me. I'm just struggling a little bit in my mind of reconciling modern classic and my very very casual lifestyle... but I feel like I'm slowly getting it in my head, so now just need to put it in action!

Okay, I've read this whole thread and I've been thinking about the question for days, and here's what I've come up with:

"Businesslike bombshell."

Does that work?

And yes, Angie. I think Greg and his buddy described you perfectly!
