I still love the fashion from the 1970s show! I thought it was just fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403963 Tue, 20 Jan 2026 03:56:50 +0000 kellygirl 2403963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your descriptor! I still feel the Charlie’s angel vibe is strong though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403593 Sun, 18 Jan 2026 03:57:35 +0000 Sal 2403593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Carla. Right back at you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403562 Sun, 18 Jan 2026 00:36:01 +0000 Carla 2403562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love your attitude, and your approach to style and managing your wardrobe. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403551 Sat, 17 Jan 2026 23:08:56 +0000 Sal 2403551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz! Both for the support and the compliment.</p> <p>This has made me think about what is style and what is personality. So I can think of some quite stressed people with a relaxed style, and the opposite too. </p> <p>There is an intersection though - and I think authentic sums up that I am a genuine person who whether you meet me at home or work or at an event I would come across similarly. And I might dress in a classic or sporty or fashion look - but they are all me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403485 Sat, 17 Jan 2026 16:42:10 +0000 Suz 2403485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it, Sal!&nbsp;</p> <p>I was also going to suggest unflappable. I know that is -- at moments -- probably more aspirational that actual (because we are all human!) but I suspect you rapidly get back to that state even when the winds are high!&nbsp;</p> <p>You have a very authentic style and combined with your key words this phrase should guide you well.&nbsp;</p> <p>What a gorgeous view. Worth every step! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403454 Sat, 17 Jan 2026 03:50:44 +0000 Sal 2403454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Irina and Brooklyn! Interesting thoughts that I agree with. </p> <p>Just back from a walk up 1375 steps! And I was thinking about my moniker.</p> <p> I like chic. I also was tempted to put natural in there but I decided on -</p> <p>Chic Authentic </p> <p>I think that covers my desire to be well dressed and stylish but also practical and natural. And it sort of rhymes.</p> <p>In combination with bold, elegant, sporty and unfussy I think it sums up both where I am and where I want to be.</p> <p>View from the summit! Hot and humid day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403401 Fri, 16 Jan 2026 16:19:05 +0000 Irina 2403401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Balanced for you. To me, your style is eclectic - there are elements of classic, boho, sporty and sometimes minimal. But all these elements are balanced and in harmony.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403390 Fri, 16 Jan 2026 10:43:30 +0000 Brooklyn 2403390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I prefer “relaxed chic” to “carefree chic”. I think your style (and demeanour) is relaxed and approachable. I see a lot of sporty in your look, but not in all your looks, so I’m not sure if I’d include sporty in the moniker. Maybe you could group that under “relaxed”, along with practical, unfussy, natural. All good words for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403389 Fri, 16 Jan 2026 04:07:56 +0000 Sal 2403389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done Jaime!!&nbsp; How exciting - my son is Friday!&nbsp; I do like rhyming as well as alliteration...&nbsp; I like that....<br />Thanks Jenni and Bonnie.</p> <p>I think (like Angie in this aspect) I don't worry about style but I do worry about other things.&nbsp; I am not especially anxious, but I have moments.&nbsp; I think my friends would describe me as "balanced" - I am definitely organised and practical and a planner, but I can also operate within the crazy and unpredictable as well.&nbsp; Not that that is quite relevant to the Persona but I just don't know if I can say I am carefree. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403386 Fri, 16 Jan 2026 02:19:24 +0000 Bonnie 2403386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie, Carefree Chic is perfect for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403385 Fri, 16 Jan 2026 02:11:59 +0000 Jenni NZ 2403385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s fun Jaime! Her probable Kibbe type has the word Flamboyant in it also… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403378 Fri, 16 Jan 2026 01:46:33 +0000 Jaime 2403378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No way! My youngest (twin daughters) are turning 21 tomorrow too (in my case I mean Saturday). Cheers to us for getting them this far !</p> <p>So for me, one of the key impressions of your style is the combination of bold and grounded. Your looks are striking and chic but also no-nonsense (unfussy is a great word for it actually) and sensible. Because these are not natural partners I think they say something very interesting about your personality and style. Maybe Pragmatic Dramatic, because it sort of rhymes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403347 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 18:48:38 +0000 Sal 2403347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Dee, Helena, Angie, Lisa, Jenni and Star.</p> <p>I like Carefree Chic although right now we have an extended family drama that makes me feel the opposite of carefree. I like Chic - I think that encompasses a modern stylish but not formal approach which I think is true. Alliteration is appealing though so I will give it some consideration and contemplation (haha). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403345 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 18:32:20 +0000 Jenni NZ 2403345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And happy 21st birthday to your second son! You need to change the ages of your boys in your profile </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403344 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 18:28:12 +0000 Jenni NZ 2403344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Carefree Chic too. Having met you and read your posts for 9 years which I have just clocked up on the forum, I know that you do care about what you wear and put plenty of thought/effort into it. But the end result looks quite relaxed and carefree! Unfussy, as you say. That’s a good choice of word. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403339 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 16:27:07 +0000 Angie 2403339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can’t imagine anyone more level headed and sensible running a stressful business like yours than you! Much admiration, <b>Sal</b> :)</p> <p>And on that note, looking better than ever! Such a well thought out plan, and you reap the rewards. Equal parts organization and emotion. Excellent choice of style adjectives. You are AWESOME! Love your attitude. </p> <p>I’m seeing more ‘80’s come through with the staple ‘70s. As 1970 babies, this makes sense! </p> <p>I like all the suggested monikers! I particularly like the word Carefree to describe your style. You seem free spirited as well as very organized. You care about your appearance but don’t let it boss you around. <b>Carefree Chic</b> has an excellent balance to it. Rolls off the tongue easily, and is very descriptive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403331 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 14:02:23 +0000 Star (Lise) 2403331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like DEE's take, especially Carefree Chic. That is how your style looks to me, chic but with total ease. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403330 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 13:52:34 +0000 LJP 2403330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I like Helena's suggestions a lot - especially Grounded Individualist . &nbsp;I didn't come here to add my suggestions, as I'm not really good at the naming game, but I did want to say that even though you and I don't dress alike, I can relate to everything you said and described about yourself. Interesting ! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403329 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 13:16:26 +0000 Helena 2403329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't quite come to with the right words, but something like Grounded Individualist? Intentional Maverick? To me your style is consistent because it is authentic, which is what enables you to play with a variety of bold colours, different silhouettes etc with such ease and DYOT without looking like your specifically trying to go with OR against the grain. You're just doing you and I love it. I love love love your style and attitude Sal, it's always inspiring to me! Your descriptive word are perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403325 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 11:44:24 +0000 Dee 2403325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of terrific combinations Sal, I see plenty of colour, some pattern mixing and a lovely casual professional style too. </p> <p>I'm thinking something like, Eclectic Elegance, Carefree Chic, Easygoing Polish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403319 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 09:11:17 +0000 Sal 2403319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lise! Yes when I thought hard it resonated immediately. </p> <p>Thanks Goldenpig. I see the Sporty side, maybe luxe too at times<br /> but I don’t think I am<br /> Fashion forward enough to be a trailblazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403317 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 08:33:09 +0000 goldenpig 2403317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfits, especially 3, 4, 6 and 10 for your style! How about something like Sporty Luxe Trailblazer? It would pick up your sporty side and polished elegance, and the bold and dramatic/flamboyant sides of you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403316 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 05:43:08 +0000 Star (Lise) 2403316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal all of these outfits are brilliant. I see elegance in all of them. You epitomise elegance in a youthful way. Love Unfussy too, such a cool word, I get it. I'm useless with monikers but agree it may be time for an update. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goals-2026-as-well-as-new-moniker#post-2403309 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 04:04:11 +0000 Sal 2403309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello all lovely forum members,</p> <p>It is mid January now and tomorrow I have my youngest son turning 21!  Wow.</p> <p>I wrapped up 2025 a couple of weeks back and have done some thinking since this time.  I enjoy fashion, style and wardrobe management and find it fun and relaxing.  Our business is fairly stressful even on the smoothest weeks (aviation, workflow, staffing, property matters etc) and I work with my husband.  I like thinking about clothes, outfits for events, and trying to get 30 wears from most things I buy.  My wardrobe hovers between 90-100 pieces (clothing and shoes) plus about 40 pieces of activewear and gear.</p> <p>I don't dress especially similarly to my peers here - I don't stand out as being different but I march to my own tune. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not - that doesn't faze me.</p> <p>In 2026 my style words are</p> <p>Bold - I like my outfits to be strong in one way or another.  It might be colour or silhouette or via an accessory.  I don't achieve it always but that's an intention.</p> <p>Elegant - I need the reminder to keep up the polish and professional edge.  I don't want to lean too casual.</p> <p>Unfussy - this replaces breezy.  I simply won't wear things that are fussy on me.  This might be too many layers, or with a small pattern, or a top that does not sit nicely.  I like longer lines and simple shapes.  I don't wear much jewelry either.</p> <p>Sporty - Angie's suggestion.  I am no great sportsperson but I am active and ourdoorsy,  I like watching sport and I like participating.  Walking, the gym, yoga, cycling and pickleball are my main activities.  I love swimming in lakes and in the ocean.  I am a Kibbe Natural (probably Flamboyant) and whilst my hair is not natural I like it to look as though it could be.</p> <p>My moniker has been Grown Up Charlies Angel - I love 1970s style and the attitude of being ready for anything whether a cocktail party or a chase or going undercover.  I don't think I look like any of the Angels (1970s tv show).  But maybe does not resonate as strongly now.  I don’t want to force something but am open to ideas.</p> <p>In 2026 I really want to keep on going as I have.  I am mindful of the following:<br /> - I have big toe arthritis and so I have exited a few pairs of shoes, it's hard to predict what will work and what won't so shopping in person is often better.<br /> - I am trying to shop bricks and mortar where I can to support retailers here.  I want exceptions to be rare. We do have local options and I like to shop when I travel as well so that’s another option.<br /> - I want to keep trying second hand - I had good success last year with second hand pieces and this is both fun and a way to be experimental.<br /> - avoiding muddy and muted pastel colours.  I am in the mood for lighter and clearer colours.  But neutrals remain important to me and I am open to a variety of these.  Black, Navy, Caramel, white, denim, ecru and the odd chocolate piece.  I also wear charcoal grey although mostly in lounge and hiking gear.</p> <p>My shopping list so far is<br /> - light weight puffer<br /> - black boots<br /> - straight dark denim jeans<br /> - replacement white sneakers (what is modern here?)</p> <p>My do not buy list is <br /> - heels<br /> - patterned blouses<br /> - summer dresses<br /> - any new active wear is on a one-in, one out basis.</p> <p>I will attach some photos of outfits of mine that I have enjoyed recently or from the archives of looks I enjoy. It is a bit eclectic but I like something about all these looks even if the later ones on the list comprise pieces I don’t own any more.</p> <p>Thanks for reading and look forward to your ideas. </p>
