Edge is whatever feels different and boundary-defying for your personal style. It may be commonplace for some, but if it's different for you, then it can be edgy. Congrats on expanding your style and having fun with it!

You look fab in both outfits. The skirt is so cool, styled perfectly with your black ribbed top, tights, booties, and scarf. Your New Year's Eve outfit is stunning. So fun and cool. Great nails and sunglasses, too!

I agree the diagonal trim skirt and the face tee add the edge to each outfit. Great looks regardless of edge.  Angie on "My edge" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-edge#post-1132766 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 15:57:24 +0000 Angie 1132766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I second, Suz. Super analysis, and well done. #1 is Killer. Perfectly Simple Ladylike Edge. Suz on "My edge" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-edge#post-1132710 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 15:06:31 +0000 Suz 1132710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lyn, what a great analysis! (And what a fun NYE set of pictures! You looked great!)  And yes, I do think these outfits have a bit of edge and I can see it and identify with it. The skirt, I think, with its asymmetrical line and the black highlighting that, injects a definite bit of edge and somehow the tights with mid-calf booties do as well. I really, really like the top and can easily see why it has become a workhorse for you. Fabulous!  lyn67 on "My edge" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-edge#post-1132641 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:47:20 +0000 lyn67 1132641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie's post, and the the forum thread on the same thema of edginess it was a real food for thought to me. Like you all aknowledged one has to find their's own edginess factors. Today I am wearing one outfit wich feels to be one of my edgy ones. So, let's see: Skirt is from this fall, a brown and taupe gingham, and strechy tube, with a black leather trimmed assimetrical split on front side-love it as is very comfy and consider it the most edgy piece in this outfit.  Then, there are  black opaques and midcalf suede boots with a block 2" heel, and an almond toe, from last year. I got this black satin trimmed neckline ribbed tee for several years from one of my  SIL who is brunette and wore naturally a lot of blacks,  but  I  never wore it, as felt too big and too long, too black and too  high neckline back then when everybody wore shorter strechy items. Now, that I learned how to wear more blacks without feeling owerhelmed I suddenly dig it out, and so it  proves to be a workhorse, esp. for shopping days, under my trench. It's cotton, so keeps me cool  but covered indoors and I love it is long and fluid enough on my torso for nowadays trends, and curent(more mature) body shape. Plus, the satin trim on neck has an  almost leather look and feel:-) I use to wear my white chuncky watch and a silver chocker and pendant almost daily, but the neckline was too high and beeing trimmed already  the chocker came off. +(all time silver studs in place) For outdoors I wore a bold bl&cream scarf(also new) with my black wool coat and mustard yellow bag(from fall). So, as a conclusion, I think my edge is: -wearing  black despite beeing a low contrast girl and creating a bold contrast with it and other neutrals -color blocking -leather or leather trim -geometric/abstract patterns (prefferable of a  medium scale)  -minimal jewelery (and then, it has to be  rather one chunky piece) -comfy footwear for allowing a brisk walk. Bonus pictie of wiw on the NYE at a nightclub party with DH and friends: -strechy sequin skirt with opaques and suede heeled ankle booties (kept me warm and able of brisk walking on the coblestones for catching the firework at midnight) -bl&w satin mixed media graphic tee(place was named "Faceroom", so my tee was like done for purpose, but I it was only a coincidence:-))., -black jacket(folded sleeves, as ever) -and silver-sparkle trimmed party sunnies, bought on the street that night, for fun!. Other friends and hubby have had various silly hats(pirate, police) on  and even krampus horns(a girlfriend:-)). And a pictie with my super yummy selfadhesive fake nails! I never have the time to propperly  do mines, so it was a treat to have  them done in no more than 1 minute! Thanx  Rae for introducing me the self adhesive fake nails sometime last year-I really love them occasionally! We had lot of fun and felt this outfit was edgy, too. Question: -Do these 2 outfits show a bit of edge to your eyes, too? Phew, thanx for reading so far! (and commenting, always appreciated:-))
