Yes, I think it has already been helpful just in finding the right combinations and how I feel wearing my clothes each day. And the effort is guided, so not as frustrating or tedious.</p> <p>When I apply the descriptors to an outfit, and it passes muster, and it also passes the "happy" test, then in my book it's a successful choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-stab-at-a-rubric#post-625058 Mon, 21 May 2012 10:47:50 +0000 harmonica 625058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great for you! The rubric is surely a helpful tool to make your own style preferences stand out more clearly I've seen several making a rubric and finding it helpful. I havn't been able to figure one out myself yet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-stab-at-a-rubric#post-625036 Mon, 21 May 2012 07:17:09 +0000 Kirti 625036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great!

I heard Clinton say on WNTW that it was better to concentrate on what you aspire to (as it was more accurate and definable) than what you didn't want to look like. I thought that was interesting and I've been thinking about it a lot. Would you consider your style to be primarily Modern Classic then? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-stab-at-a-rubric#post-624929 Mon, 21 May 2012 03:10:00 +0000 cheryl 624929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a great rubric and I think its pretty smart to also list the looks you definitely don't want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-stab-at-a-rubric#post-624917 Mon, 21 May 2012 02:43:34 +0000 Jewell 624917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're off to a great start! I worked on my rubric last week but haven't gotten around to posting it yet. Can't wait to hear how it works out for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-stab-at-a-rubric#post-624907 Mon, 21 May 2012 02:32:49 +0000 Transcona Shannon 624907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic work cjh! See how it feels after a couple of weeks and tweak when necessary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-stab-at-a-rubric#post-624881 Mon, 21 May 2012 02:05:28 +0000 christieanne 624881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you! Coming up with a rubric seems to help so many others make dressing simpler. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-stab-at-a-rubric#post-624809 Mon, 21 May 2012 01:13:08 +0000 cjh 624809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I''ve been watching my outfit choices the last few weeks, and trying to define a rubric as some have been doing. I worked on picking the characteristics of the outfits I especially like and feel good and happy wearing.</p> <p>I wish I'd been taking more photos, but life has been a rat race. So I will work on that, too.</p> <p>I have discovered I feel "right" wearing an outfit following this formula:</p> <p>Makes me look or at least feel slim and/or leggy.<br /> Feminine touch but not girly.<br /> Low contrast.<br /> Modern/trend/unique touch, could be main ingredient or accessory.<br /> Polished casual.</p> <p>I also made a huge, long list of the things I do NOT want to look like, or consist of, such as boho, prep, bombshell, earthy, etc. That was kind of helpful, too.</p> <p>In any case, following the rubric has helped me to have fewer days when I wonder how my outfit turned out to be sort of "wrong", if you know what I mean. Thanks for listening. </p>
