The term Shadow Style never occured to me, I like it.<br />Funny how your shadow style idea has changedover the last year Suz, but your answer shows that you are happy in the skin you're in.<br />Elle thanks for the pics of VB. She has a very elegant style.<br />Joy I see another vote for the 60's.<br />Astrid, yes you're right you choice this time found is do-able for you :)<br />Rachy, father afield as in back in time, you could so rock that look.<br />Bj, I love your answer, your description conjours up a fab picture!<br />Caro, I would love to join you in you soirees. Mines a tequila sunrise, 'chin chin'!<br />Shevia I love the idea of flappers!, I love that era. So elegant. We had a&nbsp;TV&nbsp;series in the UK years ago called 'House of Elliot' set in that era. It was about a fashion house and I loved it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun/page/2#post-961250 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 01:03:21 +0000 Jaime 961250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Twenties flapper comes to mind. Hats, dropped waist dresses, short hair, long beaded necklaces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun/page/2#post-961175 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 23:14:17 +0000 Angie 961175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro, you're a scream.</p> <p>Hi five, Joy!</p> <p>Elle, you look a little like Victoria Beckham! I can see you wear her style :)</p> <p>Suz! Boho! That surprises me! But fun to read - although it was long ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun/page/2#post-961159 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 22:54:30 +0000 Caro in Oz 961159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No real period for me, only a tuxedo, cocktails &amp; soirees all the way. Elegant&nbsp;living.&nbsp;</p> <p>Second would be the 60s but I did that already </p> <p>ETA: oops forgot photo.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun/page/2#post-961152 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 22:39:28 +0000 bj1111 961152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>since we're in imaginary land, i would go for uber-prep. &nbsp;but not the manufactured prep of tommy hilfiger or even ralph (tho that would be closer). i'm thinking lilly or anything with rickrack or a whale. &nbsp;madras minis and boat shoes older than the average college student. &nbsp;mummy's charm bracelet and nan's pearls while&nbsp;traipsing around smith in hanro cotton nightgowns.</p> <p>just call me muffy.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun/page/2#post-961147 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 22:35:48 +0000 rachylou 961147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went back and looked at my shadow style answer (!) My answer was *Frilly Girl.* That's not, when I think about it, so far removed from my answer today. But I note I've gone farther afield. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun#post-961118 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:09:31 +0000 Anonymous 961118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>60's for sure for me. I'd like to be the woman in Angie's third picture. Jacqueline Kennedy was my first fashion icon, but mod and Twiggy fit in too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun#post-961114 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 20:48:22 +0000 Astrid 961114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for linking to the old thread, Suz! I had forgotten about that one. I went back to look what I answered and it was "androgynous, tough, cool rocker chic". So completely different to what I showed above. I do think the style persona in this thread might be more in line with my actual&nbsp; style and definitely more doable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun#post-961095 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 20:11:44 +0000 Suz 961095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You &nbsp;know, we had a thread last year about our "<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-shadow-style">shadow styles."</a>&nbsp; It's a good read!&nbsp;</p> <p>Back then, I said boho.&nbsp;</p> <p>But you know what? I have lost my secret yen or attraction to boho. Not to say that I don't sometimes enjoy a boho influence here or there, and I do enjoy the style on others. But I don't think it is my style alter ego any more.&nbsp;</p> <p>So what is? I'm not sure! What I like about being an "urban prince" is that I can be androgynous, ladylike, a little punk, a little trendy, and a whole lot modern. For me, it's the perfect blend and satisfies my cravings.&nbsp;</p> <p>So maybe my shadow style is simply a dressier version of same. My MOTG, work-at-home, casual life puts me generally in the boyish, androgynous urban prince looks. But sometimes I like the super-feminine option.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun#post-961093 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 20:04:23 +0000 ElleH 961093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the pics Angie.

Isn't TS an interesting cool lady?<br />Thanks Una. <br />Angie, thanks for the compliment, It's all down to good clean living ( I'm heading for the big 5 0 next year aaagh! )<br />Pil, thanks I rather like a bit of UWP myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun#post-961070 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 19:28:41 +0000 pil 961070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UWP for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun#post-961065 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 19:21:56 +0000 Angie 961065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, Marley!

I love 3 and 4. I'm showing my age now, but there was an actress called Alexandra Bastedo who starred in a sixties show, can't remember the name, but she wore clothes like that. Fab!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun#post-961032 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:22:30 +0000 Angie 961032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five, Elle!</p> <p>I KNEW Rachy would turn back the clock a couple of centuries :).&nbsp; The first photo is for Rachy (minus Mr. Darcy) - the last three are for me and Elle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun#post-961031 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:21:35 +0000 rachylou 961031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every girl should get to have a Mr. Darcy...</p> <p>...And I think I should run for office on that platform.

Ladylike and dressy. Love the idea of it, but I don't think it will ever happen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun#post-961005 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:03:01 +0000 rachylou 961005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In a more realistic vein, today, I'd go *modern steampunk.*</p> <p>In a less realistic, but still somewhat practical, vein, I'd go Edwardian.</p> <p>Totally unrealistic, I'd go Classical period - Mozart and Marie Antoinette.</p> <p>Someone give me a full-length skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun#post-960999 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 17:56:36 +0000 missvee 960999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd go with a drapey, arty, all black wardrobe and a short asymmetrical haircut. Unfortunately black is an awful colour on me. I guess I could do the hair though. Hmmm... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun#post-960987 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 17:48:33 +0000 ElleH 960987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I already have a few personas. I would have to say mod, though I already have some pieces. It is opposite to my boho, though my favourite boho is 60s &amp; 70s so the same period as 60s mod. What is opposite to my rock chick? I used to dress like an 80s yuppie for a while in the 80s. I like Victoria Beckham's style. What do you call that? Bombshell? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun#post-960932 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 17:05:25 +0000 Angie 960932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah! Fun thread. I'd have never have guessed, Diane :)</p> <p>Take me back to the mid '60s. Mod all the way. All my underwear is retro as my modern nod to the era.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun#post-960865 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:47:41 +0000 texstyle 960865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, maybe more UWP like Rae and Una. Or a little more rocker in a subdued way. I did buy a fun shiny black waxed cotton moto jacket for this coming fall/winter so I guess it's not complete fantasy. I haven't purchased black boots but they are on my "maybe" list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun#post-960863 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:44:31 +0000 Anonymous 960863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some interesting answers (would love some more photo examples). It's fun to dream .. lol Diana! In my dreamworld I'm a 6 foot glamazon :)<br />Maybe we could find ways of adding a little touch of our alter egos to our style? lifestyle permitting of course. </p>
