That was very interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1136374 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 23:19:50 +0000 Lisa 1136374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting article.&nbsp; But I think the biggest take away for me, was the one that went unsaid but hinted at a lot, stylish people feel secure in their look.&nbsp; To oneself the outfit says "me" regardless of the current trends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1136350 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 22:57:10 +0000 Pame 1136350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this! &lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1136166 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 18:16:20 +0000 Linda 1136166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved this Una, thanks!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1136150 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 18:04:34 +0000 MRL 1136150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the link. I think the part about not being overly trendy (#6 ?) is especially true. The people I know who seem very stylish have hones a certain "look" that suits them and while they update they do not jump on to every trend. <br />I might have missed it, but I didn't remember seeing anything about fit. IMHO, fit is so important. It's one of the things that can so make or break the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1136137 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 17:45:02 +0000 Echo 1136137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to go with Parsley. I understand the author was trying to make the point that a person can shop anywhere and that style is not dependent on the amount one spends, but enough already. She doesn't have to keep repeating and putting down those who choose some designer pieces as not having a clue. Thrift is not superior to designer (nor is one exclusive of the other), nor vice versa.</p> <p>Ultimately, no matter how often people repeat that you need to have your own style, etc. even a lot of people with almost unlimited funds who are photographed regularly don't. A LOT of people need help, and honestly, a blog/forum like this that meets people where they are instead of making a list of style dictates does far more to help. Even Anna dello Russo admits that she usually buys and wears piece for piece from the runway. She rarely wears anything other than exactly what was shown, and she really doesn't have a style of her own. Now, there's nothing wrong with that; it's what works for her. But for someone to develop their own style, a list of rules just isn't going to do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1136120 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 17:28:03 +0000 karymk 1136120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the morning read. &nbsp;It all rings true. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1136104 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 17:07:42 +0000 rachylou 1136104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A nice reminder there's a difference between fashionable and stylish. I'm not sure the list is quite right - I'm pretty sure that stylish people dress to be stylish, for instance. I don't think they're less done either - not always. I'd say maybe that fashion is the clothes, style is you. </p> <p>I do agree - and somewhat mourn - that clothes used to be a bit more a practical matter and a little less entertainment. Although I'm guilty as charged... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1136074 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 15:44:30 +0000 Mander 1136074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, basically I read this as "don't try too hard to be trendy" and "don't feel that you have to wear designer labels to look good".&nbsp; </p> <p>Or, what Rae said.&nbsp; And Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131677 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 18:04:22 +0000 catgirl 1131677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is how I took it too, kkards. Don't be discouraged from trying a look just because you can't afford the labels. In other words, simply paying more isn't the measure of style. Sort of like that "the Look for Less" feature in InStyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131665 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:56:38 +0000 kkards 1131665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very interesting list.</p> <p>lyn*--i took #4 to mean that truely stylish people are comfortable in their style, and wear what is approprate for them, even if it runs counter to the crowd.<br />parsley--at 1st read, i was with you, i thought that the author was kind of condescending toward people who wear designer labels, but then i read it again, thinking about a young cousin who was lamenting what a blogger wear, and how much the outfit cost. i think she was just trying to make a point that its not who you wear, but what you wear and how you wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131581 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 16:37:27 +0000 Aleta 1131581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alaskagirl, I have been trying to put some thought into solving some of my style related conundrums with the aim of making everything more focused, but I just seem to be getting more confused!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131571 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 16:31:36 +0000 catgirl 1131571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Analysis paralysis!

I can see how you found this helpful, it was a good read. I personally didn't find it offensive in any way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131547 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 16:12:25 +0000 Aleta 1131547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh goodness, I am getting analysis paralysis!! &nbsp;To your own style be true, but then if I was 100% content with that would I be trying to take on board&nbsp;all the advice that I can?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131532 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:56:51 +0000 Parsley 1131532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was irked by what I saw as the reverse snobbery of the article. I disliked the implication that if you wear designer items you are being superficial and label-conscious. I certainly think that it's possible to be stylish and wear designer clothing! Of course it is possible to be stylish and wear nothing but thrift shop finds, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131450 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:07:31 +0000 gryffin 1131450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Basically, "To thine own self be true."&nbsp; But question, can someone be stylish without edge by that definition? They imply that it's the element of the unexpected and the unexpected&nbsp;juxtaposition that makes one stylish.&nbsp; So that begs the question, if you like a prevailing style and are mainstream, can you still be considered stylish by their interpretation?&nbsp; Thoughts?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131415 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:41:36 +0000 Thistle 1131415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems to be a lot of what we have learned from Angie.</p> <p>However, if you are not born with the style gene (I wasn't!), all of this is far more difficult! I have never been drawn to trendy labels and still not into Pininterest. Yet, I still lack that fashion cool.&nbsp; I am trying to learn it, but it sure doesn't come naturally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131404 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:35:04 +0000 Isabel 1131404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great list, &nbsp;though 3 gives me trouble ; knowing how to style yourself. &nbsp;Uh, that's why I am here. And for 4 years !!!!! &nbsp;No reflection on Angie , btw. &nbsp;: )&nbsp;</p> <p>I do agree with all of it. &nbsp;Coincidentally, I just said to MaryK yesterday that she and Bella ( remember Bella with all the awesome challenges ? ) that they taught me the difference between inspiration and replication. &nbsp;I don't know why that was such a hard lesson for me.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131394 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:27:07 +0000 Suz 1131394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Rae said. (Rae, if you ever need an editing job...).&nbsp;</p> <p>But I do like the last one. They don't dress to be considered stylish. They dress to please themselves and to BE themselves.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131390 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:25:06 +0000 catgirl 1131390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's what I thought - we have learned all this from Angie, of course! But it never hurts me to hear something several different ways... Sometimes I need it all broken out rather than simplified! I will freely admit that although I mostly have fun with fashion, there are days when I'm like "But HOW?!?" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131345 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:55:48 +0000 Beth 1131345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm. I can't help but think that Rae's so right. It's all about knowing thyself and not taking it too seriously.:)</p> <p>April, count me as prissy. "Cliché" as a noun&nbsp;makes me naners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131279 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:38:45 +0000 April 1131279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slightly OT prissy grammarian&nbsp;complaint about this piece: I really hate when people use "<span>cliché" as if it were an adjective. &nbsp;It only sounds like it should be an adjective but IT'S A NOUN. &nbsp;</p> <p></span> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131185 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 06:43:55 +0000 rae 1131185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems redundant. The condensed version:</p> <p>1) Buy and wear what <i>you</i> like (no matter where it's from or how you've seen it styled before).&nbsp;</p> <p>2) Don't try to hard.&nbsp;</p> <p>Actually, now that I think of it, doesn't that also condense down to Angie's one and only rule? <i>Have fun with fashion!</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/7-habits-of-stylish-people#post-1131171 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 06:20:54 +0000 deb 1131171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is the one that seems off.
