Barely Boho and Slightly Sporty are spot on for you, Mo. I love that.&nbsp;</p> <p>For my own style&nbsp;I will join with you with Super Slightly&nbsp;Sporty, and throw in&nbsp;Polished Punk, Strongly Simple, Daintily Dramatic and&nbsp;Moderately Masculine.&nbsp; </p> <p>As you said, all in good fun. xo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shadow-styles-with-alliterative-adjectives#post-1272239 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 17:00:00 +0000 Vix 1272239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Mo --</p> <p><b>&gt;Casual Cool, referencing Refined Rocker, shadow style Slightly Sporty and Barely Boho. I could toss in Minimally Military as well for fun.&nbsp;</b></p> <p>Yes, absolutely! I see them all, and it's all good. </p> <p>Of course I would probably change your Slightly Sporty to Slinky Sporty (or Sultry Sporty?)&nbsp;as you manage to put a little SA into all your sportier outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p>You had me at your title as despite Suz FORGETTING that 2/3 of my style personas are alliterative.<b>&nbsp;[cue dramatic sob complete with throwing of self on divan]&nbsp;</b>Plus I have 2 "summary styles" that are alliterative. (Contrarian Classicist, Minimal Magpie, Persnickety Bohemian for the personas; Barely Boho and Vaguely Vintage for the overall looks.)</p> <p>And I totally see your Barely Boho side in&nbsp;some of my favorite Mo looks. Since casual dressing is a perpetual pain in my arse and I'm always looking for inspiration, maybe you'll do more of them hint hint?</p> <p><i>*Sometimes I think&nbsp;I needed an alliteration intervention, but now you and I are tied with 5, so clearly we have just the right amount!</i></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shadow-styles-with-alliterative-adjectives#post-1271773 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 00:54:33 +0000 Mo 1271773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, Janet and Cathy - maybe we should find some sort of overarching style descriptor for these shared tendencies. &nbsp;Electric eclectic?? &nbsp;:)<br />Tracy, hard to say how to do medium boho since, as I said, I tread so lightly and specifically into this ring. &nbsp;And I lived with a Deadhead and went to shows - too funny, that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shadow-styles-with-alliterative-adjectives#post-1271727 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 23:57:08 +0000 cciele 1271727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very clever, Mo! I like how you summed up your style personae so succinctly -- and even with alliteration.</p> <p>Interesting how many of us rocker types have a boho shadow style -- I'm one too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shadow-styles-with-alliterative-adjectives#post-1271712 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 23:45:04 +0000 Janet 1271712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well said! That's pretty helpful, actually -- I can relate to all of those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shadow-styles-with-alliterative-adjectives#post-1271706 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 23:41:11 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1271706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant and insightful. I refer to my boho preference as boho lite as I don't go all in. Any suggestions come to mind that better fit a medium boho style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shadow-styles-with-alliterative-adjectives#post-1271700 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 23:35:49 +0000 Caro in Oz 1271700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love how this can give you direction without boxing you in - marvellous Mo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shadow-styles-with-alliterative-adjectives#post-1271503 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 19:49:37 +0000 Gigi 1271503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun personas, Mo!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like Suz's comment about Vix. I feel like I have some contradictory style personas too. I suppose it is a bit like an actor who wants to play the "good guy" in one movie and the "bad guy" in the next. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shadow-styles-with-alliterative-adjectives#post-1271486 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 19:37:08 +0000 rachylou 1271486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right. I am now on a mission for some alliterations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shadow-styles-with-alliterative-adjectives#post-1271292 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 16:02:37 +0000 Suz 1271292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant, Mo!&nbsp;</p> <p>This is sort of what Vix ended up doing. She has three style personae, not alliterative, but same idea . Hers (potentially) contradict each other,&nbsp;and each of them embodies a contradiction in itself.&nbsp;&nbsp;All in all, it creates the interesting tension that is true personal style!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shadow-styles-with-alliterative-adjectives#post-1271282 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 15:50:39 +0000 abc 1271282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is well thought out and most of all fun. I love alliterations too and yes it seems to give permission to bleed slightly into that realm without going full in </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shadow-styles-with-alliterative-adjectives#post-1271237 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 15:01:59 +0000 texstyle 1271237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can also relate to Barely Boho - I have some jewelry in particular that is def. along that line (I can't help myself at the local artists fairs) and I sometimes buy something else with a slight boho nod, like a recent black and patterned summer jacket to wear for evening's out in restaurants with cold AC .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shadow-styles-with-alliterative-adjectives#post-1271193 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 14:17:06 +0000 Jewell 1271193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love me some alliteration! Thanks for treating us to your style musings. I can relate to Barely Boho. Now I simply must see if I can identify any alliterative shadow styles for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shadow-styles-with-alliterative-adjectives#post-1271173 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 14:06:43 +0000 Mo 1271173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The other day I was thinking on my 'shadow styles'. &nbsp;I realized a have a very specific, narrow, boho influence. &nbsp;The maxi skirts, ikat prints, subtle tie dye sometimes. &nbsp;And a phrase came to me - Barely Boho. &nbsp;I also thought on the sporty that I incorporate not even purposely, it's more a byproduct of my active lifestyle really. &nbsp; Slightly Sporty - ding! &nbsp;<br />So for kicks, I strung together my style descriptors in all their alliterative glory. <br />Casual Cool, referencing Refined Rocker,&nbsp;shadow style Slightly Sporty and Barely Boho. &nbsp;I could toss in Minimally Military as well for fun. &nbsp;Heck, it's all just for fun, right?<br />But somehow acknowledging that I do only&nbsp;these very specific boho things, and not any of the embellished gypsy skirt type, makes it 'okay' in my head to let that side in without feeling I'm casting the net too wide on styles. &nbsp;If that makes sense.&nbsp;</p>
