I can see that (love the punny-ness too ;&gt;). The 'tough' gets at what I think of as your Crocodile Dundee side, Mo. Your rugged side. (Dinosaur climber!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-vs-rubric#post-768385 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 22:46:35 +0000 Lisa 768385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question, thanks for asking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-vs-rubric#post-768383 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 22:45:25 +0000 Mo 768383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was ruminating just today as I was pulling apart last month's PeopleStyleWatch to save just the outfits I liked. I found myself again and again going for luxe textures. Leather, silk, cashmere. Polished metal hardware on shoes and bags. But I still like a little bad ass edge, not too ladylike. I'm starting to think Tough Luxe (also love the punny sound to it!) is a good descriptor for my aspiration of where I'd like to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-vs-rubric#post-768372 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 22:36:57 +0000 rachylou 768372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, there is the style statement. A kind of two word style motto. I am going by "playful traditional" these days.</p> <p>On a related note, this has got me thinking. I feel a need to revisit my rubric:</p> <p>1. No-fuss<br /> 2. Thermal<br /> 3. Off-Center<br /> 4. Hip<br /> 5. Frilly Girl</p> <p>Need to do something about 4 &amp; 5. They're too young. Maybe "of-the-moment" and "feminine." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-vs-rubric#post-768267 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 20:15:20 +0000 Kristin L 768267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for clearing that up for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-vs-rubric#post-768264 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 20:14:51 +0000 Mo 768264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, a formula is more about what pieces go together. Like, tunic over skinnies with flats and a scarf. Whereas a rubric is the facets of your style - tough, or ladylike, or arty, or textured, or bold colors, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-vs-rubric#post-768262 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 20:12:24 +0000 rachylou 768262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mm. I would say a formula is a specific combo of types of items. I'd say a rubric is a list of "key words" or qualities that you look for in every outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-vs-rubric#post-768261 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 20:06:47 +0000 Kristin L 768261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have what may be a silly question. What is the difference between a formula and rubric (in YLF terms)? </p>
