I can see that there will be some crossover, so am not sure how helpful it will be in setting up a physical closet, but certainly is useful for any list or chart you make. </p> <p>Relating back to recent conversations: the Farah Fawcett skateboard pix are iconic, and of course I remember her from when I was in grade school. But once again, i didn’t catch that she was “sexy” anymore than I realized that I was “supposed” to reach for that someday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stealing-idea-from-jenava-re-style-categories#post-2046087 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 20:00:44 +0000 Jenni NZ 2046087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Runcarla I did look at Twiggy mainly for the hair- I was never as thin as her, maybe closer to Jean Shrimpton’s size in my 20s. And I did have long curly hair from ages 17-26 more like Farrah, though brunette not blonde.<br /> Thanks bj1111 I will look at Jamie Lee’s more recent crop styles again. I keep fiddling with the pixie and never totally happy. I thought she looked a lot older in recent pics, something different about her face? We all age of course, I have never done Botox which she is on record for doing a lot of in her younger days. I relate to how she let her hair grey in Hollywood when many of them do not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stealing-idea-from-jenava-re-style-categories#post-2045939 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 14:57:52 +0000 bj1111 2045939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You’ve picked some iconic women. I can see you in Jamie Lee’s current crop style with a side part and longer fringe.</p> <p>Is this a direction you see yourself going? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stealing-idea-from-jenava-re-style-categories#post-2045896 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 13:55:34 +0000 Vildy 2045896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Boy, this is brilliant.&nbsp; I can see the throughline of your hairstyle. <br /></div><div>(I keep admiring people who look nothing like me - like Anna Magnani</div><div>:D )<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stealing-idea-from-jenava-re-style-categories#post-2045886 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 13:37:15 +0000 nemosmom 2045886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I've been playing with a similar idea of personas as I work through my summer clothes and try to plan for fall.

Not only for the cropped hair, but for the 60's mod aesthetic of clothing and accessories (earings). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stealing-idea-from-jenava-re-style-categories#post-2045859 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 12:34:41 +0000 notsaf 2045859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting this: great food for thought! I love your style personas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stealing-idea-from-jenava-re-style-categories#post-2045778 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 05:37:17 +0000 Jenni NZ 2045778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking a lot about my wardrobe as I keep on editing it slowly- which I am doing well on, that would be a separate post. I would love my numbers to make sense- I am trying to reduce them a bit overall, and only have things that ( mostly) I will wear a lot, except for the odd special occasion item which can sit there ready for if such an occasion comes up. I&nbsp; loved Jenava's post</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-to-me-shoppingwardrobe-strategy">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....e-strategy</a><br /> and have been considering doing something similar. Because I like a lot of different eras I thought I might try to pick some style icons from the eras I love, to see if I can use them to represent the categories. I already used the first one previously to work out how to style my hair as a "Eton crop" when dressing up 1920s. Apart from the 1970s ones I think they have cohesion too.&nbsp;<br />I've also looked up some of Vix's old posts about her 3 style personas. I think for me, having a person in mind may help. Next I need to see how much of each persona I should have for my real life.&nbsp;<br />Pics 1-4 Leatrice Joy, 1920s silent movie star.&nbsp;<br />Pic 5 Jean Shrimpton, 1960s<br />Pics 6-7 Farrah Fawcett, carefree 1970s<br />Pics 8-9 Annie Lennox 1980s<br />Pic 10 Jamie Lee Curtis, my current style muse ( she is only a couple of years older than I am and I used her as inspo for my haircut for a long time).<br />PS born in 1961. What do you think?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
