You do have to know yourself to develop that inner and outer cohesiveness. Altho, I have to say - that still leaves an awful lot of room to play visually. I feel I have to have a new 'sub moniker' every so often, concentrate on one manifestation at a time... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-visit-and-thoughts-on-personal-style#post-1626779 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 05:22:12 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 1626779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I loved the couch and cushions analogy, this should say something about sleep deprived me...<br /> Nice interesting read (I like your writing style). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-visit-and-thoughts-on-personal-style#post-1626698 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 02:01:10 +0000 Carla 1626698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! The garden analogy is fantastic! I like to divide and propagate old faithfuls, rescue orphans, baby end of season sale plants, and occaisionally spring for something special. Fashion-wise I have multiples or striped T's and turtleneck sweaters, I haunt Winner's, Marshall's, and Mark's WWH, have trouble resisting the lure of outlets and sales, but occaisionally pull the trigger on a classic designer item. </p> <p>I am in a new house, and figuring out the new garden. Growing zone 5/6 after 25 years of gardening in zone 2b! Just as I am in a new work environment and changing up things to fit my new 'environmental norm'.</p> <p>I just wish my *cheap chic* outfits were as consistently satisfying as my garden experiments!</p> <p>1.

Yes - I feel like you too sometimes - however, at my best, I take more of a slow and steady approach. Not just in clothes, but in life Thanks for the kind words I'll be interested to hear if it sparks any thoughts about your clothing "process". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-visit-and-thoughts-on-personal-style#post-1626644 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 23:24:33 +0000 Anonymous 1626644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A fun read TG.<br /> You're a great writer.<br /> I agree with you that if you really know you're style, you'll *generally* spend less because you'll be more content.<br /> I liked your analogy to gardening. I'm definitely goal- oriented, and want to rip everything out, do the garden up right according to a plan/goal, and then just watch it grow, making minimal changes along the way. Basically, it's about having a great foundation/bones to work with. I hate just adding plants piecemeal to a garden that's not quite right to begin with. This goes for home decor too.<br /> I don't think I've ported this philosophy to my clothing choices though....I'll have to have a think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-visit-and-thoughts-on-personal-style#post-1626602 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 21:46:45 +0000 Helena 1626602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoops, told you I'm not promoting myself!

I've got a few big things happening (going back to school, for one) and have been distracted ... I've still been lurking about and reading the blog, but haven't had time to post. </p> <p>Anyways, I was going through my old blog and found this post I did about personal style ... I hope I am not flattering myself but thought it might resonate with a few of you. I hope this isn't inappropriate ... I'm not self-promoting, promise, blogging is only a personal hobby that I seldom share, let alone promote :)</p> <p>Looking forward to lurking theough everyone's spring posts!!
