I think your descriptors are perfect. I'm not sure what style persona label it fits, but just keeping these terms in mind will help me as I closet edit, create capsules, and shop! I especially like the observation that there's a touch of retro in there Caro - I think you're right, and I hadn't IDed that yet!</p> <p>I do love Angie's posts on capsules and archetypes - that's what got me thinking I should really have a firm handle on what my style IS instead of just thinking about whether a piece looks good on me and works with my lifestyle and closet. Those are all important, but won't guarantee I have a closet full of looks I love!</p> <p>Can anyone suggest brands to shop/use as inspiration for this sort of look? I'm a pear-shaped petite. I think I shop too much "sporty" stuff and need more flowy silky things and lace and such. I'm coming up with Jenny Packham, Nannette Lepore, and some classic silhouettes like Marc Jacobs, Theory. </p> <p>Other ideas? The labels don't necessarily have to be achievable/affordable - just places to look for pieces I can match at a better price point and for styling etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-post-advice-please---whats-my-style-persona#post-852620 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:55:58 +0000 rachylou 852620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your pin board!

I'm seeking a better descriptor and appreciation of what I like and what I'm going for in my shopping and styling so I can actually achieve it more often. One thing I've noticed about myself is that I often go for pretty simple ensembles, e.g. tonight for a quick dinner out with friends I wore gray khaki pants that fit nicely, camisole, long sleeve green and gray striped shirt, velvet plimsolls, and a blue puffer jacket over the top. I don't think I looked bad, but it doesn't actually get me to what I'm going for.</p> <p>I think maybe I need to wear layers more often and buy more neutrals?</p> <p>Anyway, I think having a style persona will help me pull outfits together and say yay or nay while shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-post-advice-please---whats-my-style-persona#post-852192 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 06:12:39 +0000 CocoLion 852192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum!</p> <p>I see Classic / Polished / Ladylike. </p> <p>Is there something you're seeking to achieve, style-wise? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-post-advice-please---whats-my-style-persona#post-852183 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 05:45:45 +0000 Salt and Starlight 852183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's my Pinterest board: <a href="http://pinterest.com/Lisalark/fashion/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/Lisalark/fashion/</a></p> <p>And here are a few words I would use to describe what I see:</p> <p>- romantic<br /> - feminine<br /> - preppy<br /> - classic<br /> - whimsical</p> <p>Let me know if you'd like more details!
