I don't think I've been actively working at being stylish long enough to say, and I enjoy incorporating new trends each season. But reflecting on my style preferences from when I was younger through today there are a couple things that have remained consistent: </p> <p>- color (I've always loved wearing color, and wearing interesting combinations especially)<br /> - the idea of experimentation (I have always liked experimenting with my outfits)<br /> - styling my skin/face/hair in a natural and organic way (minimal makeup, light hair styling relying mostly on cut)<br /> - the influence of 70s fashion (my other influential decades, 40s/60s/80s, have varied over time in how much or how little they're represented, but the 70s have always been present)</p> <p>That's about it. Ask me again in 10 years </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look/page/2#post-646183 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 22:46:21 +0000 dee* 646183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bright colours, blunt bangs, oversized glasses, big bags (clutches + totes), hats or hair jewellery (sparkly + subdued), cardigans, flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look/page/2#post-644891 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 13:06:31 +0000 Suz 644891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Short hair. (Why did I every grow it out??) But the particular cut will change over time. </p> <p>Jackets. (Why did I stop wearing them for so many years?) </p> <p>And Una, that hairstyle of yours is definitely iconic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look/page/2#post-644877 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 12:35:05 +0000 harmonica 644877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i don't know if this is specific enough but I *need* contrasts like mixing classic pieces with vintage and/or some rough elements. i'm also thinking contrasts structure wise, like combining tailored with a softer element. too polished and ladylike feels very unfamiliar to me</p> <p>ETA: maybe dark hair is more of a signature feature? sometimes I've had highlights or coloured stripes, but the main feature still remain as dark </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look/page/2#post-644865 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 11:58:57 +0000 Anonymous 644865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't respond to this thread yesterday because I really had to think about the question. I'd say my "signature" look, if you can call it that, is:</p> <p>*wardrobe consists of subdued, elegant colors<br /> *wardrobe consists of some trendy items mixed with classic styles<br /> *easy hairstyle above shoulder length<br /> *always wear jewelry and a wristwatch<br /> *almost always wear makeup </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-644590 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 00:06:41 +0000 Abie 644590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too love your hair =)</p> <p>I think my curly dark hair and bright colors are a signature part of my look. </p> <p>Everything else will switch up. I have had different color highlights and even different cuts but I refuse to bother with straightening my crazy thick hair and I'm not likely to go a lot lighter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-644589 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 00:05:10 +0000 qfbrenda 644589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are probably several things, but the first one that comes to mind is classic clothes + artsy jewelry. I like simple clothes.... think of the MOTG formulas in a classic, simple style.... but I love jewelry that might be sold at an art show. I always have that sort of a piece on me somewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-644587 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 23:59:30 +0000 annagybe 644587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well it used to statement heels (insert sad panda face).

I've worn them off and on for years, and have had them consistently for over a year now. Whether my hair is up or down, straight or curly, those bangs are ever present. I don't think any of you have ever seen me without them. </p> <p>Also earrings are a signature part of my look. Sometimes I'll go without a necklace and I only recently got into bracelets, but if you see me without earrings you can be sure it was a mistake. If I'm rushing in the morning and don't have time to put them on I'll throw them in my purse or pocket and put them on in the car. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-644321 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 17:02:09 +0000 cheryl 644321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great haircut Una!

In fact, bright bottoms in general, including white jeans.</p> <p>Fun shoes, especially high-heeled patent leather pumps in every color of the rainbow.</p> <p>Jackets with everything!</p> <p>I'm loving them all, although recently I have started to actually consider foregoing the a-jacket-for-the-sake-of-a-jacket look as an ironclad rule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-644309 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 16:46:04 +0000 modgrl 644309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know, I thought it was waist defining bombshell looks but I have been totally surrending my waist with tunics for months now, since the Feb NYC meet up where I bought my Zara button down tunic.... I guess the only thing consistent is my Kors watch (which I don't LOVE but wear because it finishes outfits so nicely) and my newly reset engagement ring because it turned out so fricken fab. Everything else feels subject to change - style evolution is happening for me big time right now. I don't want to wear heels. I don't want anything tight. How to look long and lean and still define my waist without really wearing anything that makes me longer or defines my waist at all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-644288 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 16:25:22 +0000 Meredith1953 644288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think being one of the "silverhaired sister tribe" is part of my signature.

You could wear it that way (or a variation) for ever--well at least until you get bored. WE'RE not bored!</p> <p>I think my greying hair is signature for me. Even though it will change and get more silver, I'm enjoying the transition. I love how I can run my fingers through it and see all the colors of a Husky dog's fur! *waving to Kona* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-644261 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 15:57:26 +0000 rae 644261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sideswept bangs (because of my slightly lopsided eyes and chicken pox scars). </p> <p>Boots. </p> <p>Utility Jackets/coats. </p> <p>Pendant necklaces.</p> <p>Belts. </p> <p>Interesting to think about this... I had a moment of panic that I might have made something a signature on accident, and that it might be something I didn't like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-644258 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 15:53:21 +0000 Sona 644258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>jewelry, well shaped brows, long hair. all quintessential or 'signature Sona' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-644253 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 15:47:48 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 644253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hair - some variation of a dark brown, above the chin bob<br /> Jewelry - more is more, often matchy to the outfit<br /> Shoes - distinctive: mostly bright, very high, or patterned<br /> Clothing - colorful and feminine, lots of pencil skirts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-644236 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 15:29:30 +0000 Diana 644236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>glasses<br /> boots<br /> printed skirts/dresses<br /> handknit items<br /> teal </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-644226 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 15:15:58 +0000 ironkurtin 644226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm.</p> <p>- Glasses<br /> - Jeans<br /> - Boots<br /> - White<br /> - Cashmere<br /> - Linen </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-644225 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 15:15:07 +0000 Aziraphale 644225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eye-catching footwear, sleeveless tops and bold lipstick.

Also I think blazers and bold footwear (coloured shoes, boots, etc.) have become signatures as well.</p> <p>I love your hair Una and think it definitely is part of your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-644018 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 10:18:47 +0000 Deborah 644018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair style is definitely the most constant part of my style signature. I have worn a bob in a number of variations since I was about 20. also red lipstick and the color black. All constants in my style for a long time and I don't see that changing any time soon.</p> <p>Una I would absolutely identify your hairstyle as a key part of your signature. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-644012 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 09:55:50 +0000 ManidipaM 644012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for your signature hair, Una! I think everyone on YLF loves that cut almost as much as you do. It definitely is iconic!</p> <p>I guess I'd call my curls a constant if not a signature. My hairstyle changes pretty drastically every few years... but I never knew how much I depended on the wave in it until a particularly, uh, 'enterprising'? thick-skinned? stylist straightened my hair out for a magazine photo shoot. I have never hated my appearance and felt as alienated in my own body ever before, nor ever since. And this despite envying many friends their stick-straight waterfall of hair and lamenting my nonstop tangles!</p> <p>Likewise my angled, mismatched, not very 'feminine' eyebrows. I get majorly ticked off when someone at the beauty salon tries to 'curve' them 'prettily'.</p> <p>The other bit of 'look' that has been a constant for me for now 18 years is the single earring I wear in pierced right upper lobe (the left counterpart closed up almost immediately and rejected the piercing) --- what I wear varies from pearl studs to silver barbel or ring, nothing unconventional enough to call a signature; but the asymmetry is itself unconventional and was even more so when I first got it (single pierced ears are more common now than they were in my youth). Tangential: Actually, I've always enjoyed ear jewellery asymmetry, I guess. Even the standard love piercings used to get mismatched studs often in my youth, less so now perhaps (largely as I've been having trouble finding 'my style' studs of late, not sure why).</p> <p>Lipstick, in terms of make-up, is the one thing I'm hardly ever without. Eye make-up I do often forgo. </p> <p>Clothes --- I'm not sure I have a signature look there, unless it is midi-length skirts and wide-ish leg pants, which I've never been without. But they aren't quite constants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-643954 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 05:58:23 +0000 CocoLion 643954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My shoulder-length stick-straight hair is part of my look, whether I like it or not. I wear it pulled into a pony tail or bun when I'm working and going for my more classic looks.</p> <p>I love your haircut! The last picture of you in that new consignment store "shorter" dress looked so beautiful -- your hair, your smile, the way you look so happy with your son. It showed me a whole new side of you. (Not that there's anything wrong with your trademark sidewards glancing looking down a little pose.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-643950 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 05:53:48 +0000 fashionista 643950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I love your signature hair!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/signature-parts-of-your-look#post-643949 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 05:53:01 +0000 fashionista 643949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun thread!! Love it</p> <p>My long hair has been with me from the time I can remember, so maybe that's my signature look in hairstyle. </p> <p>About clothes skinny jeans, ballet flats and boots have always been in my wardrobe no matter what trend come or go. So may be they are my signature look in fashion.</p> <p>And lastly, I have kohl lined eyes (with and without lip gloss/ additon of blush/ nailpolish etc), for every occasion-wedding, nightout, office, casual outings, picnics, day brunches, dinner, birthday celebrations (anything), so may be that's my signature look in makeup. </p>
