So that you achieve a “ classic beauty “.<br /> ‘S wonderful! ‘S marvelous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2168608 Fri, 29 Jan 2021 10:38:43 +0000 Style Fan 2168608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always admired your style.

And fabulous ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2168091 Wed, 27 Jan 2021 03:00:59 +0000 rachylou 2168091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I *do* see the modern classic in you peeking out here and there, Deborah... but have to admit it’s just the eyebrows visible in these fabulous pics </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2168087 Wed, 27 Jan 2021 02:22:31 +0000 Deborah 2168087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for your comments and thoughts.&nbsp; Your observations have helped me really get a handle on how to articulate and define my style.&nbsp; It's funny because a lot of people (not here tho) have used the word classic in relation to my style so I kind of took it on but I am thinking that they may have been confusing classic for something else lol.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie thank you that's actually a lovely compliment because I have so much admiration for the style of Accidental Icon.&nbsp; Her style resonates so strongly with me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2167997 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 22:38:03 +0000 Tanya 2167997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style, Deborah!&nbsp; Very unique and very "you". These are such great outfits.&nbsp; I also don't think there is much "classic" here, but there is certainly a lot of drama, avant-garde, and uniqueness! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2167996 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 22:35:10 +0000 Anonymous 2167996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style seems pretty consistently architectural/dramatic/avant-garde from what I've seen. I definitely don't remember any of your outfits as being full on classic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2167970 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 21:44:56 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2167970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a hard time naming styles, too, but I love these looks, Deborah. You have a wonderfully creative eye and compose your outfits so artfully. I do see a classic element with the blazers, and with the black Chelsea boots, for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2167919 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 18:28:12 +0000 nuancedream 2167919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn Slater is the Accidental Icon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2167900 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 17:41:14 +0000 Bonnie 2167900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely see Dramatic in your unique styling. I'm a fan of your outfits, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2167885 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 16:47:51 +0000 Angie 2167885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would leave out the classic too! </p> <p>Debs, I see: Hard Edge Architectural Avant-Garde most of the time. Very creative, dramatic and arty! Similar to the Accidental Icon, whose name escapes me.....</p> <p>But more recently I’m seeing hints of romantic softness and a bit of boho - how fun! </p> <p>You’re incorporating it all flawlessly, with ease, and beautifully </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2167876 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 16:33:04 +0000 Ledonna N. 2167876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a great love for&nbsp; your wardrobe and I would say&nbsp; you have described combination of styles just right.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2167837 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 14:31:17 +0000 Liesbeth 2167837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they have merged (beautifully) and your descriptors of avant-garde and architectural are spot on. Definitely Japanese inspired too. How fab that you can wear more fashion forward silhouettes to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2167835 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 14:29:24 +0000 Helena 2167835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful Deborah ... I know your heart belongs to black and you wear it beautifully, but GOSH, you are gorgeous in light pink! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2167832 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 14:22:21 +0000 Mirjana 2167832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can only say extraordinary!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2167831 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 14:20:20 +0000 nuancedream 2167831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I look at these stunning outfits, I see Rei Kawakubo and Comme des Garcons. Perhaps you have morphed two fashion personas into one. Nonetheless, they are authentically you, Deborah. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2167827 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 13:39:05 +0000 Bijou 2167827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You dress in a consistent style that is uniquely you. I’m not sure how to define it, possibly Architectural, Tailored Elegance. I can most definitely see the Japanese influence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2167822 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 13:23:25 +0000 lyn67 2167822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would let the classic go and just say- "artsy, avantgarde, architectural" all together or maybe adding "with classic roots" at most. Anyway very creative and individual-which I love!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/combining-fashion-personas#post-2167819 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 13:02:40 +0000 Deborah 2167819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After I read the Blog post I scrolled through my outfit pics to see if they support how I would assess my fashion personas and how I feel I combine them.</p> <p>I think they do.</p> <p>I’m not always good at naming my style but I favour Japanese inspired, architectural and slightly avant garde looks but I also find myself drawn to modern classic elements too. If my work day calls for it, I will forfeit my more interesting pieces for a truly modern classic look however most of that time I will combine the two. </p> <p>Outfit 1 is a dress layered under a top. Oversized, Japanese design, and what I would wear every day if I was dressing solely for myself (no work constraints etc)</p> <p>Outfit 2 is a Japanese linen Sarong inspired skirt worn with a classic blazer</p> <p>Outfit 3 is a suit I wear to work. Classic cut blazer and ankle pants in a pinstripe but the pants have an interesting wrap detail. </p> <p>I feel there is a lot of consistency in my looks which got me thinking maybe I have morphed my two fashion personas into one new persona??</p> <p>Thanks for looking<br /> xxx </p>
