In the light of this morning's blog post "moving out of your style comfort zone", I mention "dipping" and "diving".

I sometimes dip, but 90% of the time I dive. I am on Team Dive.

Over to you. Are you Team Dip or Team Dive?

Team Dip... every once in a while, I'll get a wild hair and go for a dive, but I'm definitely a dipper.

I don't know. Do I have to pick a team? Sometimes you kind of have to dive -- like, if you always wear jeans, and you want to try skirts, you either wear a skirt or you don't, right? Other things can be inched towards, like getting progressively shorter haircuts.

I guess if I had to pick, I'm team dive. I went from seriously long hair to bleach blond pixie twice, which probably says something about my personality. But like I said before, I had to paddle for a long time with the skinny jeans before I jumped in.

Team Dive. And by Dive, I mean Leap Before You Look.

Brrr...the water's chilly. I'm definitely a dipper--one tiny toe at a time!

Haha, Una! I'm a dipper for sure. Anything that strikes my fancy gets tried out piece by piece. It isn't until much later that I realize I've transitioned to a new style.

No contest for me - I'm Team Dive everytime - even when it would be wiser to just dip my toes in first!

Team dip. Toe by toe. Inch by inch.

When I was younger I was more of a diver. Now I dip.

By personality I'm more of a dipper. But lately I've been forced to dive head first. So far it's going pretty well, with some frustrations here and there.

100% Team Dive.
Usually it works out I have occasionally found myself in way too deep in something I wasn't expecting.
The caveat is that it sometimes takes me a while to get clear about a situation. But once I am feeling confident, I dive in. There is no lukewarm with me - I'm either hot or cold.
I am married to a very tentative toe dipper. Variety is the spice of life

I think right now I'm team Chaise Lounge. Nothing looks/feel right at the moment!

DIP. If that. More often than not, I stand at the edge of the pool, watching everyone else splash about (perhaps sipping a margarita next to Tarzy).

I've probably hit my head at the bottom a few times too when I fall hard for a trend.

I am on team dive - but only after waffling for a bit first. It takes me quite a while to make up my mind but once done, look out!

Team dip - It takes me forever to jump in. Tarzy, is there room on that chaise lounge?

Angie, I bet you'll come pretty close to predicting the individual answers to this survey.

Are we still talking about fashion?
Usually I'm on the team stand quiet beside the beach until unexpectadly I dive.
Trying to be more of the dipping kind because that way I get to do things more often and achieve more.

This is a very interesting post !!

I am the sloth dipper. Seriously, at the beach, by the time I am finished dipping in slowly, it is Fall.

That is one of the toughest things for me with fashion.....I will love it on other people but I am so reticent to try it on me. I am just very risk averse all around - except with food.

team dive... just do it! Typically, I either like it or not. I like, I dive. What holds me back is usually finding the right piece with the price I am willing to pay (which is very little.. lol).
