And you are about as hoochie as I am. I enjoyed everyone's adjectives enormously - also the ones that they posted on the blog.</p> <p>April, your style icon Taylor has a strong classic side to her style. I think we should exchange the current with the classic in your list of style descriptors. It's a given that your look is current :)</p> <p>My style is not: </p> <p>casual<br /> neutral<br /> complex<br /> alluring<br /> whimsical </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-about-5-adjectives-that-describe-what-your-style-is-not#post-374843 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 11:00:54 +0000 April 374843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suzanne, I think it's because it's easier to nail down what doesn't suit us than to find the right word to describe what does. When I say my style is "not boho," it still leaves open a world of possibilities for a single word that describes what it *is*. </p> <p>For example, "not boho" could include minimalist, androgynous, formal, preppy, hoochie, ladylike, vintage, and a world of others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-about-5-adjectives-that-describe-what-your-style-is-not#post-374833 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 08:44:02 +0000 suzanne 374833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm... Why is this so much easier than actually defining what my style is??<br /> My "style" (well, the little that I have) is definitely not categorized under: “girly”, “sexy”, “classic”, “stiff”, “neutral”. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-about-5-adjectives-that-describe-what-your-style-is-not#post-374801 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 05:35:43 +0000 Marley 374801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Preppy<br /> Classic<br /> Dressy<br /> Minimal<br /> Bombshell </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-about-5-adjectives-that-describe-what-your-style-is-not#post-374794 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 05:10:35 +0000 rae 374794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lol @ hoochie!</p> <p>boho<br /> girlie<br /> artsy<br /> bold<br /> androgynous </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-about-5-adjectives-that-describe-what-your-style-is-not#post-374780 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 04:10:27 +0000 sarah 374780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phew, this is easier.</p> <p>glitzy<br /> dramatic<br /> bombshell<br /> frilly<br /> formal </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-about-5-adjectives-that-describe-what-your-style-is-not#post-374778 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 04:01:24 +0000 lyn* 374778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boring<br /> Predictable<br /> Glam<br /> Hippy<br /> Shapeless</p> <p>:p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-about-5-adjectives-that-describe-what-your-style-is-not#post-374772 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 03:52:11 +0000 Kate 374772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are a lot here that I could easily add to my list, but I'll stick with what I already had written down in my list:</p> <p>romantic<br /> severe<br /> monochromatic<br /> showy<br /> nostalgic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-about-5-adjectives-that-describe-what-your-style-is-not#post-374743 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 02:59:00 +0000 Desmo April 374743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Somehow this is easier!</p> <p>Dressy<br /> Ladylike<br /> Preppy<br /> Frilly<br /> Business </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-about-5-adjectives-that-describe-what-your-style-is-not#post-374707 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 01:51:05 +0000 Bianca 374707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frumpy<br /> Masculine<br /> Loose/baggie<br /> Muted<br /> Hoochie!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-about-5-adjectives-that-describe-what-your-style-is-not#post-374694 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 01:44:11 +0000 qfbrenda 374694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>frilly<br /> glitzy<br /> cutesy/girly<br /> bombshell<br /> sexy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-about-5-adjectives-that-describe-what-your-style-is-not#post-374690 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 01:41:19 +0000 Janet 374690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, this is easier:</p> <p>Androgynous/masculine<br /> Cutesy/girly<br /> Conservative<br /> Preppy/sporty<br /> Business </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-about-5-adjectives-that-describe-what-your-style-is-not#post-374597 Mon, 27 Jun 2011 23:35:19 +0000 Maya 374597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so much easier:</p> <p>Minimal, classic, masculine, dressy, neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-about-5-adjectives-that-describe-what-your-style-is-not#post-374593 Mon, 27 Jun 2011 23:24:17 +0000 Briar 374593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great thread, April.
