Looking forward to seeing your versions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-update#post-2322429 Fri, 12 May 2023 10:27:19 +0000 Olive Green 2322429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another green lady! Loved browsing the Pinterest inspo. Rick Owens nails it, doesn’t he? I have some of his wife’s pins up, mainly because she is so wow, fearless! And her jewelry game is amazing.&nbsp;<br />That is going to be a great wardrobe.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-update#post-2322422 Fri, 12 May 2023 09:18:46 +0000 Bijou 2322422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great moniker and it suits your style perfectly. I love the idea of being an explorer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-update#post-2322420 Fri, 12 May 2023 07:54:31 +0000 Sally 2322420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that style and some of your themes.&nbsp; It kind of reminds me of Rick Owens but not as centred around black.&nbsp; I had a few of his things on pinterest.&nbsp; Its a definite style and very interesting.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-update#post-2322255 Wed, 10 May 2023 21:15:29 +0000 Nomad 2322255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Carol</b>, good eye, I think there's definitely some Victorian elements in there, too! That's probably all tied in with my admiration for gothic and steampunk styles. :)</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, Banana Republic has *definitely* been in my sweet spot lately... I hope they keep it up! I've been really impressed with BR Factory, too. Not only are the prices much better than the main store, but the quality and fabrics seem to be quite good.</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, yay, thank you! Olive's my very favorite color (and the color of my eyes). :)</p> <p><b>RobinF</b>, that's exactly how I want to feel!</p> <p><b>ChristelJ</b>, absolutely and beautifully put. I like the idea of style as an aspirational framework to help guide us toward the traits we want to embody more. Enclothed cognition is powerful.</p> <p><b>kkards</b>, thank you!</p> <p><b>Rachylou</b>, I'm not surprised at all that we have some overlapping tastes. :)</p> <p><b>Vildy</b>, thank you! I want to keep my wardrobe pretty lean and cohesive, so having consistent threads should help with that. Now for the hard part... being patient and focused enough to seek out (and wait for) the right things to build it out in real life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-update#post-2322246 Wed, 10 May 2023 19:36:33 +0000 Vildy 2322246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm impressed with how right on target your inspo pics are. This collection definitely looks like a wardrobe.&nbsp; I think you're on target to look like the most intriguing person in the room!&nbsp; Everybody will want to know <i>your</i> story.&nbsp; Where have you been?&nbsp; Where are you going next?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-update#post-2322239 Wed, 10 May 2023 17:57:42 +0000 rachylou 2322239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it. We share some pins, I do believe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-update#post-2322230 Wed, 10 May 2023 17:12:40 +0000 kkards 2322230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this…and based on what you showed from BR you are definitely leaning into! &nbsp;And it looked great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-update#post-2322227 Wed, 10 May 2023 17:04:16 +0000 ChristelJ 2322227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great moniker. The mix of confidence, daring, and femininity is powerful. I love how fashion and style can be vehicles not just for expression of what is already there, but for expansion of oneself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-update#post-2322188 Wed, 10 May 2023 13:19:23 +0000 RobinF 2322188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The looks you gathered suit the Elegant Explorer moniker really well. I totally see a female, more elegant, Indiana Jones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-update#post-2322074 Wed, 10 May 2023 00:59:00 +0000 Angie 2322074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES!! I love that, <b>Nomad</b>! Elegant Explorer.......(who still kicks arse )&nbsp;</p> <p>You might be Queen Olive by the looks of it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-update#post-2322067 Wed, 10 May 2023 00:25:22 +0000 Suz 2322067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Elegant Explorer" sounds great and BR's recent collections should be go-tos for your new wardrobe!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-update#post-2322057 Wed, 10 May 2023 00:01:58 +0000 Carol 2322057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some crossover with you, but not a lot. I love the layered looks, the long skirts, and the scarves. I see also sort of a Victorian element in some of the silhouettes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-update#post-2322054 Tue, 09 May 2023 23:57:34 +0000 Nomad 2322054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still largely in the "deep think" part of my style evolution, but I think things are starting to coalesce a bit. I spent a while on Pinterest just gathering things that appealed to me, and this is what I came up with:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/Nomadic_13/explorer-wear/">https://www.pinterest.com/Noma.....orer-wear/</a></p> <p>Some themes that emerged: largely practical, with a mix of structure and movement and details, in autumn-y colors. Lots of jackets and layers and boots. Plaids and solids. Elements of menswear. Some hints of the past, and some futuristic/post-apocalyptic. Lots of things that look well-loved and worn-in, but not sloppy.</p> <p>My old style moniker was "Elegant Badarse", and I think maybe it's evolving to "Elegant Explorer." I'm wanting to feel more Indiana Jones and Amelia Earheart and Lara Croft these days... a little less hard-edged (less black, less rocker and goth vibes) but still practical and competent and stylish and brave. Maybe even a little rogue-ish some days. :)</p> <p>And after three years of feeling kinda confined and small, I think I could use more exploration in my life, and in my style. </p>
