Welcome to Team Ecclectic! Actually I think there is quite a bit of continuity in your list and I'm looking forward to seeing how that plays out in your style. Aldo, can we please see a WIW with fur! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-style-shifting-and-thinking#post-1448645 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 14:21:10 +0000 jackiec 1448645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well written. It feels good to put it down on paper, so to speak, doesn't it? I like that you are giving yourself permission to be yourself. And agree with trk3kkie9rl about your wonderful words and time to "gently fill it in with colour." Well said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-style-shifting-and-thinking#post-1448632 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 13:51:21 +0000 trekkiegirl 1448632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't worry about the length of your post, I've seen some WAY longer lol<br /> And I did really enjoy reading this, especially when you said "I have done all of this experimenting on a canvas, got some things out of my system, and now I can finally maybe approach a clean surface and begin slowly gently filling it with color." That particular sentiment really resonated with me, and I feel exactly the same way - you articulated it so well, so thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-style-shifting-and-thinking#post-1448629 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 13:41:12 +0000 Anonymous 1448629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good on you. And feel free to set down your thoughts on here anytime :)&nbsp;And you are right, there is nothing wrong with embracing different personas even if to you they may sound as though they are opposites, because when you put an outfit together it with still be the essence of 'your style'.

I really love our chats and discussions, c! I feel that I have done all of this experimenting on a canvas, got some things out of my system, and now I can finally maybe approach a clean surface and begin slowly gently filling it with color. You are so fun too. You may always toast me with champagne, but especially when I figure out who I want to be. Which is probably different at different times. Smiles, hugs, and love to you -- and Tobs!&nbsp;</p> <p>Stayfit, &lt;3&nbsp;</p> <p>shevia, okay, I'm glad to hear that!!&nbsp;I just felt like I keep posting so much about the same thing. But you have made a sound, good&nbsp;point about personal style!! There really is so much to choose from, unlike past decades where it was only one main trend with variants to accommodate each woman, or so it seems. Bringing it! xo&nbsp;</p> <p>Firecracker, :)&nbsp;I'm a verbal processor, so it helps to get it out of my head and just say it! So...here I go :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, dare I say I'm getting there?? Yes, I think so. I share in your yippee!!!</p> <p>Summer, I love reading about other people's though processes too!&nbsp;I have my times where I just let my mind roll and the don't analyze my thoughts. And the other times I usually must get it out verbally or on paper. It helps me immensely. &nbsp;</p> </div><div><div><div></div></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-style-shifting-and-thinking#post-1447858 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:24:48 +0000 Summer 1447858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keturah, I never mind seeing this kind of post. &nbsp;It's fascinating to see the thought processes of others, and&nbsp;I think that putting all this down in black and white helps the brain to sort out a solution. &nbsp;Have fun and enjoy your style shifts. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-style-shifting-and-thinking#post-1447818 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 05:18:47 +0000 Suz 1447818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds to me as if you are on the way to finding your sweet spot and your fashion confidence! yippeee!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-style-shifting-and-thinking#post-1447774 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 04:11:49 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1447774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your list, Keturah, and your manifesto.

Angie has pointed out the beauty of today's fashion is that there is so much to choose from that it really is about personal style. Personal style is what you are talking about! And it is a process and we love to talk about how it shifts and re-focuses. Bring it on Keturah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-style-shifting-and-thinking#post-1447705 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 02:28:46 +0000 Staysfit 1447705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your list could be a fashion poem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-style-shifting-and-thinking#post-1447698 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 02:22:03 +0000 crutcher 1447698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keturah, YOu are not beating a point...you are attempting to find your style in all of this...and I think you are also justifying it...I love to read yur posts and watch how you are growing and working through your style processes...One of these days, you are going to get this style thing sculpted to fit who you want to be...I hope I know you then so I can toast your success..<br />Please don't stop trying to work through this..It is a process of elimination and addition making you ...And I smile as I read this at how fun you are...<br />Hugs... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-style-shifting-and-thinking#post-1447469 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 21:10:12 +0000 Keturah 1447469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay girls, I realize this isn't a place for personal blogging. So if I am overstepping the forum decorum, please say so. I just find myself needing to process my recent style shifts, and I hope you all don't mind.</p> <p><div>Fitting into a box doesn't work for me. I realized that trying to define my style is a bit pointless. It doesn't seem to work. I change from year to year, and often&nbsp;season to season. I think I was afraid to do that for many reasons. I was worried about being on trend and pleasing people. I forget that fashion is art: it's fun, it's an expression, and it can be interpreted many ways.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I just got honest with myself: Keturah,&nbsp;forget about the cost, the level of maintenance, the trends. Honestly, what do you love?&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I love...<br />ladylike<br />retro<br />glam<br />flowing lines<br />gorgeous colors<br />rich prints<br />pretty and beautiful and feminine and romantic<br />relaxed but chic&nbsp;items that look like you could sleep&nbsp;in them</div><div>pairing what I love with what I love<br />effortless<br />simple<br />lots of&nbsp;real fur<br />knit sweaters<br />Italian everything<br />Eva Mendes<br />Emma Stone<br />Sophia Loren<br />Rita Hayworth<br />silk scarves tied into&nbsp;turbans&nbsp;<br />lots&nbsp;of makeup<br />minimal makeup<br />beautiful shoes</p> <p></div><div>Wearing sneakers doesn't make me less fashionable or feminine. Wearing high heels doesn't make me high maintenance. And dang it, I'm not dressing for people, I'm dressing for myself.&nbsp;I wasn't allowing myself to wear certain things&nbsp;because it doesn't always fit my lifestyle need, or&nbsp;I was afraid I of coming&nbsp;across as high maintenance. But some of that is just fear talking, and some of that can be worked with.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2015/02/24/textured-soft-sporty-luxe/">Textured Soft Sporty Luxe is gorgeous.</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://icatalogapp.com/webapp/anthropologie/August-2011/include.php?w=800&amp;nt=12">So is ladylike and glam.</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/12/22/glamorous-and-trendy-modern-classic/">And retro, trendy modern.</a><br /></div><br />It's nice to know that I can pair a fur with my Asic Tigers. And I'm suddenly okay letting go of ethnic bohemian pieces. I love them dearly, but I don't know that they express me as they once did. And joggers&nbsp;are superbly comfy as slacks.</p> <p><div><div>Anywoo.... I feel I've belabored the point enough. And by gosh, if you all aren't sick of hearing me analyze, process and overthink it all by now... I owe you all chocolates.&nbsp;</p> <p>And that's all I've got to say.&nbsp;<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The end.</div></div> </p>test
