It brings in the image of "bling" a bit more, which you often use to advantage.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1882405 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 22:15:06 +0000 Angie 1882405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NICE. </p> <p>Please go back to the recent blog posts and add your conclusions when you have a moment.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1882381 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 21:34:26 +0000 Sara L. 1882381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going with <b>Relaxed Polish</b>.&nbsp; I actually like the words Refined or Refinement slightly better but it doesn't off my tongue or come to mind quite as easily as Polish.&nbsp; Many of the terms on this thread are going to be helpful coming up with 5 adjectives.&nbsp; Words like Playful, Color, Modern, Etc.&nbsp; Still thinking on those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1882331 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 19:44:44 +0000 SarahD8 1882331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two elements that I see in all of the outfits that you posted are Polish (e.g., pointy toes) and Playfulness (e.g, Star Wars shirt, but can also be more subtle like the fun scarf in #7). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1882328 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 19:34:19 +0000 unfrumped 1882328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A blogger used the term Comfortably Dressy as goal of being able to have a single wardrobe that worked for most occasions as well as everyday wear. That sort of mirrors Relaxed Refinement. Seeing a dressy or even feminine element in your outfits but comfortable style and fabrics that could make it through the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1882327 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 19:24:35 +0000 karen13 1882327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love relaxed refinement, and also see smart the way I think Ginger uses it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1882270 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 17:05:10 +0000 Angie 1882270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Relaxed Refinement.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1882259 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 16:46:15 +0000 Sara L. 1882259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz for chiming in.&nbsp; "Relaxed" might be a key word for me.&nbsp; I think Angie might have been going for the same vibe with "Casual" but I tend to think of my style as a weekday sort of "dressed up" style and then a weekend casual style.&nbsp; I can't put Casual in my Moniker because it confuses my mental categories.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1882251 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 16:33:32 +0000 Suz 1882251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #2 are killer outfits on you, wow!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think of jewel tones when I think of you because you look so brilliant in them.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like Sal's suggestion of "relaxed fashionista" but I hear you re trends...although you do incorporate quite a lot -- that is where people see eclecticism, I think. You wear a lot of different silhouettes, different patterns, colours -- your signature might be the combination of the "relaxed" and "polished" in one outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1882221 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 15:21:50 +0000 Sara L. 1882221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has been a fun and illuminating exercise.&nbsp; It also feeds directly into today's blog post about Style Adjectives.&nbsp; I still haven't settled on a Style Moniker although I think Refined (or maybe&nbsp;Polished)&nbsp;is a key word.&nbsp; I'm still ruminating - I'm not sure Eclectic is quite the right word - I don't feel like my style is quite that mixed up.&nbsp; Although maybe that's where having an outside view is helpful - I don't feel that eclectic but maybe it looks that way to&nbsp;everyone else.&nbsp;I don't Fashionista is quite right either - I'm not trendy enough.&nbsp; Still thinking.&nbsp; I'm going to work on adjectives too and maybe that will cement things in place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881998 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 22:32:03 +0000 Sal 1881998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it needs to be catchy.... so I wonder if&nbsp;</p> <p>Relaxed fashionista<br />Fashionista on the go<br />Practical Princess</p> <p>with descriptors of colourful, refined</p> <p>I always love your WIW Sara because they are practical for your busy life (work, family, exercise, climate, budget - mix of thrifted and new), fashion forward, you experiment a fair bit with new colours or combinations, and have a natural polish and refinement even in denim shorts and a tee....&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881995 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 22:25:57 +0000 Mainelady 1881995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Refined Eclectic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881977 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 21:40:38 +0000 JAileen 1881977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, the second set of home pictures are really nice. I can see that they aren’t your style, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881974 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 21:29:30 +0000 texstyle 1881974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that Southwestern is a much more rustic, old world style. I see you as more Modern Soft Polish or something along those lines - not so much eclectic because I feel that is more "busy" or mixed styles and yours seem mostly more streamlined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881968 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 21:06:02 +0000 Sara L. 1881968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, those pictures are slightly exaggerated.&nbsp; Here's some below that are more indicative of what I would actually find in a normal person's house.&nbsp; White walls are much more common that the painted walls in the first photos.&nbsp; I'm mainly just trying to get across why "Southwestern" is a word that doesn't resonate for me when it comes to style.&nbsp; It just goes to show how words can have different connotations for different people. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881956 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 20:23:34 +0000 Angie 1881956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Not that I really know what Southwest style is......so I'm gad you set me right).</p> <p>Definitely Eclectic, and Colour too. How about<i>&nbsp;</i>Colour-Rich Refined Eclectic.&nbsp;<i></i></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881954 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 20:17:23 +0000 Lynn 1881954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really bad at style monikers or statements. Angie's refined eclectic does seem to fit and I also see the fun, playful element. Maybe refined, playful, eclectic?</p> <p>Anyway, I really like all your outfits especially 1, 2 and 4. In fact they are what I am aiming for so I am really glad you posted them. &nbsp;If had could tolerate a jacket and needed to wear a skirt or dress your outfits would be what I would aim for :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881942 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 19:31:39 +0000 LaPed 1881942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you, I don't see enough turquoise or cowhide for true southwestern. ;)</p> <p>I'm no Angie when it comes to monikers, but I'd go with Playful Elegance. Your WIW round-up is great, btw. Especially 2 and 3.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881936 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 19:06:14 +0000 rachylou 1881936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 is my all time favourite. So chic! I do see Refined Eclectic Casual... re casual, casual is a tricky word. It can be fancy or not. I feel you are have a bit of fancy, but are never stiff... Fancy Casual Chic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881935 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 19:05:58 +0000 Anonymous 1881935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with others that your work looks are somewhat dressy. I think you wear a lot of playful looks, and most have a feminine vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881934 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 18:58:42 +0000 Sal 1881934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also see polished in there strongly - you wear a variety of colours and shapes - but often with that smart casual, dressy, professional balance </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881929 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 18:51:09 +0000 Bonnie 1881929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eclectic for sure.

I thought about star in it somewhere ( but that may have been the Star Wars T-shirt!). And I thought you are pretty enough to look like a celebrity, Julia Roberts comes to mind. So then I got Polished Performer in my head. I don't mean you're not genuine, I mean in terms of performing your various roles as engineer, wife and mother. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881924 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 18:40:02 +0000 JAileen 1881924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have included Southwest in your moniker, but when you posted the home style pictures, they look like a caricature of Southwest style. I guess I don’t live in the Southwest like I thought I did! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881915 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 18:19:58 +0000 Sara L. 1881915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like Refined Eclectic (sometimes Casual, sometimes not).&nbsp; Thanks!&nbsp; I can't get behind Southwest as the photos below are what Southwest style looks like around here - colorful, rustic, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881907 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 18:05:43 +0000 Angie 1881907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#8 makes me smile, and your wavy hair is adorable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-style-moniker-1#post-1881906 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 18:05:14 +0000 Angie 1881906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE #1 and #2.
