Even while using his new moniker, the extra food for though helps. </p> <p>Jussie—I wouldn’t at all mind putting off an “intellectual” vibe. Mysterious or enigmatic too! I’m a little standoffish and snarky, if I’m going to be honest about it, so I’ve given up on “approachable” being high on my priority list. </p> <p>Gigi—I’d love to see your take on #6!</p> <p>Cindysmith—it sounds like I’m going to have to embrace dramatic. </p> <p>Staysfit—that means a lot coming from you. You’re quite good at this with your own wardrobe building!</p> <p>Karen13–I never thought about it before, but you’re onto something with the “clean lines” comment. When I’m shopping, I usually gravitate to the simplest, most essential, version of an item, and don’t like a lot of extra design elements. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply/page/2#post-1885730 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 16:35:20 +0000 karen13 1885730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed this post when I was traveling. Your outfits always appeal to me - the unfussy clean lines and rich colors. I sure wish I could wear black like you do. I like that you are boosting the feminine a bit without moving to frilly.</p> <p> I think your new moniker and adjectives capture this well. I know you are moving away from hard edge, but I still see Soft Edge in your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply/page/2#post-1885367 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 11:40:50 +0000 Staysfit 1885367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, I think you nailed it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply/page/2#post-1885238 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 00:15:00 +0000 cindysmith 1885238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of these looks are very dramatic. The way you've mixed hard &amp; soft elements is really well done, and I love the contrast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply/page/2#post-1884905 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 06:09:36 +0000 Gigi 1884905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not the best at style monikers...I'm glad that others are so knowledgeable! I can say that I do see a bit of boho in your outfits, and both hard and soft elements.</p> <p>I love the high pony in 3, and I have pinned no. 6 to my own inspiration board as an outfit I would like to copy for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply/page/2#post-1884552 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 11:20:40 +0000 jussie 1884552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>People have made such great suggestions :)<br /> I know I’m really late to the party here but I also see an “intellectual” vibe here, because of the restrained and disciplined colour palette, and a steering away from frivolity generally, and of course the specs and slight unconventionality.<br /> I also see some “mysterious” and “enigmatic” due to the darker colours and subtle textures. Just some vibes I’m getting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply/page/2#post-1884423 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 22:28:24 +0000 Anonymous 1884423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a very apt moniker!<br /> I think “rich” is a good word for your colours too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply/page/2#post-1884413 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 22:13:39 +0000 Suzanimal 1884413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love number 6 on you.

I'm always willing to adjust on the fly, though.</p> <p><b>Moniker: Bohemian Sophisticate</b><br />To me, this says to aim for a casual, arty vibe tempered by (or paired with) grown-up, cosmopolitan, tailored pieces.</p> <p><b>Adjectives - casual, rich, feminine, natural, textured<br /><i></i></b><i>casual&nbsp;</i><i></i><b></b>- in tune with my lifestyle<br /><i>rich&nbsp;</i>- deep, saturated colors and nuanced pattern<br /><i>feminine</i> - pretty elements like lace and florals<br /><i>natural</i> - made from silk, linen, cotton, leather, etc, with sustainable production practices<br /><i>textured</i> - tactile variety with a combination of materials, woven and knits together, and high-quality fabrics </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply/page/2#post-1884390 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 20:53:05 +0000 Jenn 1884390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>rebekahphoto</b>, I just looked at your profile and it seems like we have really similar tastes and body types!</p> <p><b>shevia,&nbsp;</b>hee.

"Earthy Urban" makes sense as a description of your colour palette, but perhaps doesn't capture your overall style direction. Moody Bohemian Sophisticate? Moody in a cinematic sense -- grainy, soft-focus, dark and mysterious.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply/page/2#post-1884175 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 03:56:25 +0000 Jaime 1884175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bohemian sophisticate does capture something. I like all the descriptors but not sure about earthy because it suggests not wearing&nbsp; much black to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply/page/2#post-1884136 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 01:45:58 +0000 rebekahphoto 1884136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>its interesting, when I see your photos some of them feel like I am looking at a brunette version of myself!

This is true, and I’ll probably keep wearing black. Trying to keep it in softer fabrications though.

Probably because cities, by their nature, are so diverse.</p> <p><b>Lynn,&nbsp;</b>feel free to use it, too, if it fits!</p> <p><b>Windchime,&nbsp;</b>it's interesting that you'd choose the word "moody,' because that's something I aim for in my creative work. Maybe it's rubbing off on my style!</p> <p>I'll take "fierce," <b>JenniNZ</b>! I suspect that the femme part might come out in the jeans outfits more than these pictures indicate, as anything here that looks like it might be a black t-shirt is actually a linen (#4,8) or silk (#9, 10) top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply#post-1883794 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 04:47:11 +0000 Jenni NZ 1883794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, before seeing anyone's replies, and looking at your favourite #1, I thought you looked fierce. Awesome fierce, not scary fierce. And because I like alliteration, I picked Fierce Femme. Then I read the replies. La P picked on femme as well. I'm not sure that Fierce Femme fits with your more basic jeans-and-a-T looks though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply#post-1883752 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 01:00:06 +0000 Windchime 1883752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your style a lot! One word that popped into my mind while scrolling through your pictures was "moody"--as in your non-bright color palette. Also, your gorgeous, striking hair is definitely an integral part of your style. I also see drama and softness in your outfits and style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply#post-1883746 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 00:47:06 +0000 Lynn 1883746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bohemian Sophisticate - I really like it. Bohemian&nbsp;captures the artistic, creative, earthy, and ease elements, at least to me. But Sophisticate keeps those all in check, so to speak.&nbsp;In fact, this might actually fit for me. I would love being called a Bohemian Sophisticate. &nbsp;I would happily wear a lot of your outfits, esp 2, 5, 9 and 10. Just make the toppers longer for me :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply#post-1883712 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 22:13:59 +0000 LaPed 1883712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like bohemian sophisticate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply#post-1883707 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 21:47:47 +0000 Sal 1883707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I like Bohemian Sophisticate too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply#post-1883703 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 21:33:56 +0000 Aquamarine 1883703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. Bohemian sophisticate. I am terrible at these kinds of exercises, but I don’t really see “urban” in these outfits, except for maybe 9 because of the jacket. I think you’ve captured it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply#post-1883700 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 21:26:12 +0000 Sal 1883700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Earthy Urban works - but it is really what you identify with.</p> <p>You could pinch mine- Flamboyant Natural - we share the same easiness (unfussy) and yet a love for some boldness. </p> <p>I put relaxed elegant and sporty as my adjectives- I see yours more as calm and creative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply#post-1883681 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 19:58:20 +0000 Jenn 1883681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bohemian sophisticate? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-my-moniker-still-apply#post-1883674 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 19:33:48 +0000 Anonymous 1883674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah I missed that line about #1 being aspirational.<br /> I see #1 as being more tailored. Not dressier, per se.<br /> There is something about 3/4 length jackets that adds sophistication, even if it is not polished.<br /> I could see you in some sort of long-line linen jacket and jeans or jersey dress.<br /> Rumpled urbanite? </p>
