But your explanation makes sense.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker/page/2#post-1539597 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 15:17:14 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1539597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all SOOOOO MUCH for your comments and thoughts. I have thoroughly enjoyed re-examining my style lately and feel like I'm "getting there", you know? </p> <p>I'll pop in with more thoughts on your feedback when I have a bit more time.</p> <p>Thanks again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker/page/2#post-1539466 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 11:49:36 +0000 Style Fan 1539466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it.&nbsp; I think it suits you.&nbsp; I have no idea what mine would be.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539452 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 11:16:44 +0000 Suz 1539452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this party, but in full agreement here -- this moniker seems well suited to what I see.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also really appreciate Beth Ann's comment and wonder if she is right -- is there such a thing as "classic arty" (similar to modern classic, an offshoot of modern classic, if you will)? I think of gallery goers in NYC. Feminine,yet no nonsense. Edge, but not exactly hard edge. Something else.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539374 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 05:00:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1539374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, Denise, the link isn't working.

I love the new style moniker! The slight edge in your outfit is why they look so 'effortless'....not like you tried too hard to look perfect. But you look perfect anyways! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539341 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 02:25:33 +0000 Anonymous 1539341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I totally see every one of these things in your WIW posts! You do edge so well, Shannon. Just the right amount! I'm definitely inspired by how well you balance every element in your outfits. Your post has made me see the value in style monikers. (And UmmLila's comment is priceless!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539335 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 02:15:13 +0000 Jaime 1539335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Describes what I have been seeing lately very nicely. I have been thinking about the elegance vs. edge factor lately. Or maybe it is the funky factor in my case. I like how you own them both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539286 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 00:19:48 +0000 Windchime 1539286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This new moniker seems to perfectly summarize your recent style! The fact that it's alliterative is a bonus. :)</p> <p>Add me to the group of Fabbers considering using your EEwE as my own style moniker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539271 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 23:35:15 +0000 Jenava 1539271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is very concise and it seems like something that will guide you well!&nbsp; When I read it, I couldn't help but wonder the "background" on why you chose each thing.&nbsp; That might also be helpful to reflect on?</p> <p>For example, when I listed "comfortable but feminine" and "modest" as mine, I realized that it was because I wanted my clothes to empower me.&nbsp; I didn't want to give up on looking like a woman, but I wanted to look feminine in a way that was comfortable and functional because I feel empowered when I wear clothes like this, rather than either restricted in clothes that are too revealing or tight (for me) or less female because my clothes don't reflect my femininity.&nbsp; </p> <p>I guess underlying this is an observation that feminine and comfortable are often placed in a juxtaposition, which to me does women a disservice, so requiring that my clothes give me both feels very feminist to me, which is why it's important to me and reflects my values and personality.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539235 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 21:56:09 +0000 Caro in Oz 1539235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it - sounds perfect for you TS. "Ease" is one of my key words &amp; has been a great touchstone for knowing whether clothes will work for my life (&amp; body).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539206 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 21:03:38 +0000 Parsley 1539206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! I strive for EEE, too, although LLL could be more the truth for me as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539195 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 20:42:15 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1539195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine might be Lazy Lurching Lemming if I put the time into figuring it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539190 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 20:28:21 +0000 abc 1539190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS your moniker update and Angie's made me ask her to write a post, we will see if she has time but you guys got me intrigued by the process and change and updating ourselves and wardrobes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539189 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 20:27:26 +0000 abc 1539189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you nailed the moniker and the looks to go with it judging by your recent WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539173 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 20:08:36 +0000 MsMaven 1539173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>EEE resonates with me as well. I think these words are a good description of what seems like your natural style. I guess you've mastered the Easy and Elegant part, and you do have that kind of chic edge that takes it away from the ladies who lunch.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539165 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 20:05:00 +0000 celia 1539165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, you said you were going to post about it :)<br /> It suits you this new moniker. The last outfits fit consistently in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539148 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 19:46:13 +0000 viva 1539148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these words for you, Shannon; mostly because they make such intuitive sense. They feel like how you dress. Just spot on.</p> <p>Like Firecracker, I could stand to do a little more thinking about my style. I have sensed a shift in my own style and before I start flailing out of control I'd love to find my own terms to use for guidance. Could be a good weekend project as I review my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539146 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 19:45:48 +0000 Anonymous 1539146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, the edge part is definitely the thing I notice in your outfits. (I don't comment much on your outfits, but I do pay attention to your posts.) It's either a shoe or a bag or a cuff that is a little surprising. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539138 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 19:30:41 +0000 Sara L. 1539138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your new moniker is a good fit.&nbsp; The words need to have the right connotation for you though, not so much for us.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539121 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 18:46:50 +0000 Beth Ann 1539121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a good fit for you, Shannon!&nbsp; I think your outfits have been great recently.&nbsp; While you're less obvious in the retro element than in the recent past, there is something rather "Martha Graham" and "Georgia O'Keefe" about EF designs.&nbsp; Perhaps there's such a thing as "arty classic," much like there is a "modern classsic" that I associate with a more updated sportswear look.&nbsp; I think your use of "elegance" alludes to this quality in your EF inspired looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539116 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 18:42:52 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1539116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, thanks for coming up with a statement that describes what I'm trying to achieve. <i>Easy elegance with edge</i> sounds right!*</p> <p>Oh, and it sounds good for you, too. </p> <p>*Actually I could stand to do some more thinking about my style. But I always admire your style and feel like I want to steal most of your wardrobe. So your style thoughts are a good starting place for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539115 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 18:41:37 +0000 Susie 1539115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like a great fit for your evolving style, Shannon.

I especially like the "edge" part, which will remind you to add some contrast to your outfits. The most important thing, of course, is that it makes sense to&nbsp;<i>you!</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-rubricstyle-moniker#post-1539108 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 18:29:52 +0000 Thistle 1539108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you distilled this down.
