What a wide variety.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423737 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 18:38:34 +0000 rachylou 1423737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pics. And wow, you really look quite different now, stylewise. Different times(!)</p> <p>I have to tell you something: Your second set of pics, something about them... I think you could have been an HGTV host! (HGTV's my fave channel - or it was, but I cut the cord). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423633 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 14:35:51 +0000 Helena 1423633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think it looks like you are moving in the direction of merging the most "office appropriate" looks in with your creative, rockabilly side, as Elly says. What a fun journey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423627 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 14:19:38 +0000 Elly 1423627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neat to see your evolution! Your hair is particularly nice lately, but I also think you look impishly hip in the pixie -- sometimes it is easier to get away with edgy short hair in an office setting than edgy long hair. I think you'll find a way to put your rockabilly side back into office fashion, perhaps just in a more sophisticated way . . .&nbsp; which looks like what you are edging towards. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423614 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 13:45:22 +0000 trekkiegirl 1423614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Found some even older pictures (ranging from 5-9 years ago) and my style was significantly more boho-hippie than I am now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423394 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 23:46:32 +0000 deb 1423394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so good at hair. My fave is #10. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423391 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 23:42:54 +0000 rachylou 1423391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It occurs to me that every day is an FFBO day for me. My entire closet is sorted like Geranimals... "Pick one from each stack." Maybe you could subdivide your tops, for example. If you did a t-shirt one day, you can't do a t-shirt again the next day... well, it might keep things moving ;)</p> <p>When I'm really really too tired, I wear a dress. One item and you're done (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423383 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 23:18:07 +0000 trekkiegirl 1423383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And yes, in the ladies lounge..<br /> is where 99% of my WIWs are going to be haha </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423381 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 23:17:06 +0000 trekkiegirl 1423381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In theory a FFBO sounds great, but if I did that I'd end up in skinny jeans, band t-shirt (I have close to 100) and one of same 2 jackets every day. That's exactly why I implemented a weekly schedule for myself, so I don't fall into a rut. </p> <p>Before I started this new job, I had picked out and assigned outfits 3 weeks out! I'm well through those now though, and haven't had time to do anything like that since. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423375 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 22:59:14 +0000 rachylou 1423375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say your look is softer these days, while still edgy. Love the hair in #4 and the pine green blouse. I like #7, 10, 11 and 14... and of course 16.</p> <p>I think you look like me in #12 in the ladies lounge hehe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423366 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 22:41:21 +0000 catgirl 1423366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you've seen the term FFBO here, for fast fallback outfit, that is how I do quick style. I have certain formulas I know will make me feel both good and not lazy, and I use those tried and true outfits to get through the mornings when I'd otherwise be staring stupidly into my closet.</p> <p>What Denise said! You are stunning! And your hair changes it up so much - I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423359 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 22:23:29 +0000 trekkiegirl 1423359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are probably two of the more recent outfits I posted, not shown here: Ladylike with an edge, and the polished flannel/leather jacket combo. </p> <p>Sometimes I feel like I have to dress very boring though, simply because I don't know what to wear. Like tomorrow, Tuesday being pants day, I'm wearing black trousers and a grey short sleeve sweater with a turtle neck and purple argyle pattern on the front. It's ok... But just not fully me. Or rather, it feels like me being lazy. But I don't have the time or energy to put the same amount of effort into every single outfit I wear. Tomorrow's outfit is just EASY.</p> <p>So I guess that leads me to a burning question: What do you do when you don't feel like figuring out an outfit, but still want to feel stylish and genuine? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423358 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 22:20:56 +0000 jackiec 1423358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's nice to read your style evolution. I love the versatility of your gorgeous hair too. You have a fun creative streak coming through </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423356 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 22:17:27 +0000 CocoLion 1423356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry getting manicure. Now I have my hands again. My favorites are 2, 11 and 16. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423347 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 21:59:04 +0000 CocoLion 1423347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are stunning Trekkie girl. My favorites are numbers Do you have favorites out of this bunch? If so that might help you better define your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/evolving-as-a-style-persona#post-1423345 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 21:51:51 +0000 trekkiegirl 1423345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking back at just the past year, it's interesting to see how much my style has evolved. What has stayed the same is my interest in vintage hair, fun makeup, and retaining a very eclectic influence. The biggest change I've noticed is, mostly due to the more professional environment I work in now, the fact that I am putting more effort into what I wear.</p> <p>Pictures 1-6 are outfits I wore and how I did my hair prior to November 2014. (sorry for the weird faces haha)</p> <p>Pictures 7-16 are after I started this new job. Initially I was very conservative, but as I've gotten to know the company, I've branched out more into the punk and edgy territories I love. </p> <p>My weekend wear has even changed a bit, in the sense that - unless I'm literally not leaving the house that day - I am wearing something other than a hoodie and jeans. Which, as you see in the last picture, is pretty much how I used to dress EVERY WEEKEND.</p> <p>I'm still working on defining what my style is, but I feel like I'm slowly but surely getting there. </p>
