Craft is a wonderful art form and I'm glad it's getting more appreciation in modern days, at least among folks I know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172408 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 16:52:50 +0000 Suz 2172408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modern Classic to a T. And dot that "I" while you're at it, baby! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Seriously, though -- this is logical and consistent with what I see of your style. Your style has evolved into one that seems fully expressive of "you." That's closet nirvana!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172402 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 16:20:22 +0000 Carla 2172402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahhh! &nbsp;You are all so nice, but ‘the ‘J’ is strong with this one’. &nbsp;:-) &nbsp;When I’m getting stiffly formal and respectable feeling about&nbsp;(perceived) improprieties I realize it’s just my prejudices and lack of insight. &nbsp;Best to keep mum and open the mind and heart.&nbsp;</p> <p>(Fashion-wise = late adopter of trends)</p> <p>FWIW - Meyers-Briggs ISTJ&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172398 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 15:51:31 +0000 Anonymous 2172398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! &nbsp;You're very self-aware but have a good sense of humour about it too. &nbsp;Even the prim and starchy parts - which I understand and do see from time to time. &nbsp;Your paragraph on value and craft was very interesting and well-researched. &nbsp;Fun to read ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172395 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 15:39:49 +0000 cat2 2172395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the concept of situational extroversion. I am a introvert, but U.S. business settings value only extroverts for leadership roles, so I pretend to be an extrovert. It works for a while, and then I have to go home and do nothing but read a book, drink tea and play harpsichord recordings for a couple of days until I have recharged. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172383 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 15:08:51 +0000 Jaime 2172383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although I have not noticed the starchy aspect of your personality your description otherwise rings true and is well reflected in your style. Also I love what you said about craft and feel the same way. Fashion after all is craft as you so rightly point out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172373 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 14:50:25 +0000 nemosmom 2172373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, all of these traits certainly come through in your looks, Carla!&nbsp; I see classic, organized, (but lots of fun in there, too!) An unexpected pop of color, a modern version of a classic - you execute these skillfully AND thoughtfully.&nbsp; I don't see the prim and starchy, but as a fellow redhead, I don't doubt there is some spicy in there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172349 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 13:49:21 +0000 LaPed 2172349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I can hear your art teacher mum in paragraph #2. I know your moniker has been Happy Tomboy, but Happy Pragmatist would work too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172342 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 13:40:52 +0000 RobinF 2172342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, this sounds perfect. Love what you say about craft, I have always been a crafty person. Nothing wrong with things being beautiful AND useful :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172329 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 13:16:56 +0000 Helena 2172329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, your outer expression is a beautiful, practical and classic representation of your inner self. Always an inspiration!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172323 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 13:00:24 +0000 Anonymous 2172323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I don't see prim and starchy either! Definitely practical and classic, but creative too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172312 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 12:04:58 +0000 Bijou 2172312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, are you being harsh on yourself? How I know you from the Forum, prim and starchy is not what I sense. Open, kind and helpful (making masks for others, assisting in the search for a HEWI and finding amazing hair style inspiration pictures) are words I would prefer to use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172310 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 12:00:16 +0000 kkards 2172310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>“<i>demeanour can be prim and starchy, but my heart and mind are philosophically liberal (so appreciation</i><i></i><i></i><i></i><i> for juxtaposition!)<br /></i><br />I think this comes out in all your WIWs and posts...you lean towards the traditional and the tried and true, but are always willing, and indeed strive to, try new things and mix it up.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172305 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 11:33:44 +0000 Mainelady 2172305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style shows practical elegance, attention to detail, confidence and fun.

Your outfits are casual, but neatly assembled, rule-abiding (I hope that doesn’t sound negative—it isn’t meant that way!), and always on-point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172294 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 08:48:31 +0000 Synne 2172294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I believe you got it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172287 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 07:13:43 +0000 rachylou 2172287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I must say, your outfits say these things about you. Ok, so what intrigues me is how distinctive a flavour of classic style you have. How shared values give rise to such a myriad of styles. </p> <p>...I can be terribly traditional I’ll have you all know... except not in clothing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172282 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 06:45:26 +0000 slim cat 2172282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds pretty logical, elegant and to the point - very "you" in my book. I always enjoy reading your posts and comments ( and seeing your outfits of course ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172269 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 04:46:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2172269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, Carla! It all makes sense to me, and your style is very much a reflection of these concepts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beliefs-values-personality---review#post-2172267 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 04:35:43 +0000 Carla 2172267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do my clothes/outfits reveal my beliefs, values, and personality? &nbsp;I&nbsp;<i>think&nbsp;</i>they do. &nbsp;In fact, they must (!) since my #1&nbsp;<b>belief&nbsp;</b>is that fashion is a form of self expression. Even folks who say they ‘just throw on any old thing’ are revealing something about who they are by their choices. &nbsp;I also believe that the sensory experiences provided by garments: warmth, fit, texture, colour, even smell, has an impact on the way I think, feel, and function - in other words, I believe in (#2) enclothed cognition. &nbsp;As such, I&nbsp;<i>care&nbsp;</i>about fashion and&nbsp;<i>manage&nbsp;</i>my wardrobe accordingly.</p> <p><i>Practicality&nbsp;</i>and&nbsp;<i>comfort </i>rate high.&nbsp;‘Form follows function’ is a principal I esteem.&nbsp; I also <b>value&nbsp;</b><i>beauty&nbsp;</i>in everyday things. &nbsp;My favourite art form is Craft - a useful object beautifully and skillfully rendered. &nbsp;(Interestingly, craft was considered a lesser form of art than painting and sculpture because made objects had a domestic function. &nbsp;They were also creative techniques that tended to be produced by women. &nbsp;But I digress!) &nbsp;The fabrication and the finish of a garment is worthy of consideration. &nbsp;Oh! And shoes and bags!</p> <p> <div><br /></div><div><b>Personality: &nbsp;</b>I’m organized and fairly traditional (so uniform dresser, classic essentials) and pragmatic (so natural and sporty styles) and a happy introvert with a tendency to situational &nbsp;extroversion (so (bright) colours, the occasional pattern, or a trendy piece.) &nbsp; My demeanour can be prim and starchy, but my heart and mind are philosophically liberal (so appreciation for juxtaposition!) </p> <p>Whew! &nbsp;Tough exercise. </p> <p> </div></p>
