I loved seeing all your outfits that you felt were really you. I agree with everyone else.  I am going to do what you have and put together a collage of pictures that I feel describe myself to come up with my style personality. What a great idea. Vickie Susie on "Style descriptor?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-descriptor#post-1101270 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 01:30:18 +0000 Susie 1101270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Mary, Museum Gal and Adelfa, thank you, I like the Rocker Classic. Just hope that is still age appropriate! Parsley, thank you for the addition of playful; that sounds fun! Kary, perhaps the whimsical is similar to 'playful?' And I am quite flattered by the Euro! Jewell, I like all of those suggestions, thank you! And I must admit to loving my closet! Suz, you have such a great handle on your style. I know that you have said that it has taken you some time to get there, but your wardrobe is now so YOU. I am honored to share similar preferences. RoseandJoan, thank you! LBD, wow! Luxe or rich is quite the compliment! Thank you! Amy, the jeans are from Chico's. The fit of their pants tend to work well for me and the denim is heavy enough for fall and winter. Caro, thank you. Edgy modern classic makes me happy Caro in Oz on "Style descriptor?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-descriptor#post-1101156 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 21:48:14 +0000 Caro in Oz 1101156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I see edgy modern classic. I also see the "rock" vibe MK sees but maybe edgy covers that but allows for other looks too. You are looking fab whatever you decide to call it minimalist on "Style descriptor?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-descriptor#post-1101109 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:27:36 +0000 minimalist 1101109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Mary said, or Jewell's CRC. Love both! Have a big Envy over your white jeans in #15. Which brand are they? Mary Beth (formerly LBD) on "Style descriptor?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-descriptor#post-1101107 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:25:41 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1101107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The word that kept coming to my mind was 'rich'.   Luxe, even in your simpler stuff.   It makes me think of a much more reined-in, elegant "Sophie" from the show "Two Broke Girls" .   (And let me add, Sophie is one of top ten all-time favorite TV show characters, ever). I think Mary K hit the nail on the head, but I'm going to add just.one.more.word: Euro Rocker Classic (Then I scrolled up and saw Whimsical Euro Classic - which fits, too!)    RoseandJoan on "Style descriptor?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-descriptor#post-1101103 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:18:12 +0000 RoseandJoan 1101103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I see a modern day Marianne Faithfull, very fab. Suz on "Style descriptor?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-descriptor#post-1101094 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 19:50:14 +0000 Suz 1101094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Definitely modern. Definitely classic. And I do see that bit of edge or the rocker vibe. I love Mary's suggestion, or Jewell's last one.  It took me well over a year on YLF before I had a style definition, and even then I didn't come up with it myself. It isn't as easy as it seems, even when we know our preferences as clearly as you do.  By the way, your likes are all my likes. Except our colours differ a bit.  Jewell on "Style descriptor?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-descriptor#post-1101081 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 18:51:32 +0000 Jewell 1101081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your closet sure looks like a fun place to play. Okay, here are the phrases tat popped into mind as I viewed your pictures... Graphic Simplicity Edgy Simplicity Classy Rocker Chic or CRC for short karymk on "Style descriptor?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-descriptor#post-1101036 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 17:56:06 +0000 karymk 1101036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Whimsical Euro Classic.  (the euro is because of the neutrals).  Parsley on "Style descriptor?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-descriptor#post-1101005 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 17:19:03 +0000 Parsley 1101005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your style is definitely modern classic, with emphasis on the modern. I see a lot of playful elements with your furry coat, silver shoes, and moto jacket. Maybe "Playful Modern Classic" ? Adelfa on "Style descriptor?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-descriptor#post-1100984 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 16:54:20 +0000 Adelfa 1100984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love Mary's descriptor! Your best outfits do have a bit of edge to them. MuseumGal on "Style descriptor?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-descriptor#post-1100983 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 16:53:39 +0000 MuseumGal 1100983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with MaryK, you have a Classic foundation, which can skew rocker classic or edgy classic with accessories. MsMary on "Style descriptor?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-descriptor#post-1100972 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 16:43:23 +0000 MsMary 1100972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Okay, I'll give it a try.  How do you feel about... Rocker Classic I see a lot of Modern Classic in your style, but the pointy silver boots and fab moto jacket make me think "Rocker Chick."  (Or "Rocker Chic!" ) Susie on "Style descriptor?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-descriptor#post-1100955 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 16:04:23 +0000 Susie 1100955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've been on YLF for over a year now and I've yet to settle on a style descriptor. Early in the year I was eager to find that perfect descriptor but I don't think I had shared enough photos for anyone to help me with a definition. In this post, I'm including some random photos of outfits that feel like "me" along with some of the musings I've added to my wardrobe notebook in Evernote. Some of the things I like: Simple designs Strong colors Minimal more than ALGO Prefer solids over prints In prints, prefer graphic over floral Color blocking Black and white Edgy Slouchy, fluid, oversized but not head to toe- one area needs to be more slim or slightly fitted Statement bags Silver Colors- neutrals of white, black, gray and a bit of navy Colors- red, purple, cobalt, aqua/turquoise, mustard, citron, emerald, burgundy I don't like (for me): Ruffles Bows Girly Whimsical Small floral prints Pastels Fussy designs Brown Khakis Preppy Bombshell Sporty Most pattern mixing "Country club matron" I love jeans and prefer pants over skirts, though I do like some dresses. I prefer clothes that are fuss free and comfortable. I might wear a layering tee with a jacket or cardigan but never a tee, a sweater and a blazer- that's too much going on for me. In my younger years I preferred a rocker chick vibe. I would say that I want to have a bit of edge but nothing dramatic and I don't like to look costumey. So wise Fabbers, I would love your insight. What words might you use for my style? Or do I even have a style?? Thanks for your help!
