Love your style moniker and your style. Nice work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1994191 Sun, 20 Jan 2019 12:11:39 +0000 jussie 1994191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nemosmom, jessikams and cjh: thanks for the lovely responses. I’m happy that people like the look of whimsical romance....It’s exciting to have a new style moniker.<br /> As for favorite lip colour.... weeellllll I’ve always had a penchant for frosty pink, but am known to dabble in hot pink, plum and even coral. Lately I find the long wear lipstick formulas seem to have improved a lot and not so drying and “painterly” lol. I don’t differentiate between day and night with lippy, I wear the same shades. Probably the only make up change I do for serious evening wear is a little bit of eyeshadow. Otherwise it’s the same as daytime. I’m fairly clueless about make up though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1994188 Sun, 20 Jan 2019 12:07:26 +0000 Mainelady 1994188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jussie, I think your whimsical romantic moniker is spot on. Your style has evolved and I have really enjoyed being able to see it happening. I don’t see any evidence of dork. I see soft, warm, approachable, polished, happy and fun. I like your more casual interpretation of the character you are inspired by. Your style looks / is for real life. No offense to Tahani intended.<br /> Oh, I love that you are wearing lip color every day! You inspire me to do the same. I often skip lip color on the weekends. Not today. I’ll be wearing lipstick while I hunker down during a winter storm and work on report cards. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1994158 Sun, 20 Jan 2019 05:25:28 +0000 Anonymous 1994158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, yes Jussie!

It’s you<br /> Whimsical Romantic...how fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1994145 Sun, 20 Jan 2019 04:33:56 +0000 jussie 1994145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eva: thanks so much for your reply. I really appreciate it.<br /> My photobomber is both incredibly cute and mischievous.<br /> Yes; the Tahani character is always quite dressed up, some of the jokes about her character are her ability to throw incredible garden parties and charity balls.... but her perfect princess-ness irritates the heck out of everyone.<br /> So yeah, definitely a casual spin on her outfits would be good! I’m thinking printed skirts.....lots of printed skirts..... and ballet flats or Mary Janes....<br /> Actually it will be interesting to see how it works in winter. I do have a princessy pink dress-coat that may work well. See pic attached. </p> <p>Torontogirl: thank you so much for your incredibly kind and sweet words. After the zombie apocalypse you will certainly be in the nursery you really are a doll.<br /> You’ve hit the nail on the head, I’m too TIDY in my dress to really be boho.... yes I like layers and billowy ness... but not so much that it looks messy..... and too many necklaces etc is an issue for the same reason. Feels too untidy on me. </p> <p>I think the other problem is, for some reason even when I try to wear trendy outfits, I feel somehow bored or too typical in them, then the contrary part of me wants something more distinctive (why?? I don’t know!) But then..... I feel self conscious about not being trendy enough! Also I actually think trendy is harder to nail than distinctive....<br /> but it really gives me a boost to hear that you like seeing my wiws! That’s a fabulous compliment... I’ll keep em coming Torontogirl.</p> <p>Opaline: thank you! Yes; a certain type of dorkiness can be cute..... I’m thinking of some kind of librarian-style Manga character :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1994095 Sun, 20 Jan 2019 01:41:22 +0000 jussie 1994095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou: thanks- I’m glad you like the Tahani look, thought it may be too sugary for your liking but there you go!</p> <p>Jenni: thanks!. I agree the trick may be to get a moniker that is a blend of achievable but also something to aim towards when shopping or creating outfits. If we already had it nailed perfectly it’d be a bit boring. </p> <p>Suz: thank you. I think you’re absolutely right, just a small accessory or clothing piece is probably enough to inject some whimsical romance to an outfit. Hopefully there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. The other week I saw a handbag that was white with black polka dots, and I thought oooh that’d be an easy way to up any outfit to look super cutesy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1994080 Sun, 20 Jan 2019 00:32:29 +0000 rachylou 1994080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is the perfect Moniker! And I love your Tahani inspiration pic. You’ve got both definition and room to play! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1994079 Sun, 20 Jan 2019 00:17:55 +0000 Jenni NZ 1994079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it for you too Jussie. It is hard to find what feels right, as my own very long thread attests. I think this is both true to who you are as well as being aspirational, you can ask yourself "Would a whimsical romantic wear this?" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1994072 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 23:37:21 +0000 Suz 1994072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whimsical romantic is lovely for you! It captures your inherent prettiness, polish, and femininity and the "lightness" that seems so key to your look. Love it! I think taking those adjectives and applying them to what is already in your closet will take you far. Sometimes it might be the addition of an accessory that brings the whimsy and sometimes it might be romantic patterns, cuts, and colours.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1994071 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 23:30:17 +0000 Anonymous 1994071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There’s no need to be uber trendy. Your outfits are authentic and I think that makes them cool. That moniker sounds perfect for you. I think whimsy and romanticism are fun.</p> <p>You do not look dorky but you know, dorky is its own thing too and can be adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1994065 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 23:17:51 +0000 Style Fan 1994065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great style moniker for you.&nbsp; I have never seen you look dorky.&nbsp; Always lovely and pretty. &nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1994044 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 22:39:05 +0000 Brooklyn 1994044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also Alannah Hill. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1994032 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 21:58:09 +0000 Brooklyn 1994032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a lovely moniker and it suits lovely you. I can see the inspiration in your pics. </p> <p>I googled Tahani. It looks like she wears slightly more formal romantic clothing, which may not work for everyday wear but could be nice for date nights and special occasions or casualised as SarahD8 suggests Eg satin midi length full floral skirts. Do you shop at “Review”? I think you could find some items there along the same lines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1994031 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 21:54:15 +0000 wendy 1994031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After following your WIW posts, I don't think you could come up with a more perfect style moniker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1994009 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 20:25:22 +0000 LaPed 1994009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE Whimsical Romantic! I think that suits you perfectly but gives you a lot of room to play around. #5 and #8 in particular jump out to me as very "jussie" looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1993979 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 18:35:21 +0000 Cardiff girl 1993979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely think that you could rock all those looks and asfor whimsical,romantic ,that sounds like a fun look to aspire to and I think that you will carry it offwith aplomb. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1993953 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 17:25:40 +0000 Gretchen 1993953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it weird that your pics made me want to reach through the computer and give you a happy hug? </p> <p>This is a great moniker for you - approachable, pretty, light - perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1993940 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 16:54:17 +0000 Angie 1993940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you like your new moniker,<b> Jussie.&nbsp;</b></p> <p>I think you emulate the inspiration here very well, and <i>YOUR </i>way.&nbsp;</p> <p>What are you smoking? Dorky.<u><i> Not a chance! </i></u>&nbsp;You always look whimsically romantic. Sometimes soft, and sometimes a little more hard edged. All good, and within the same theme. <i>Individualistic</i> - which is the most important trend of all. Rock on.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1993939 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 16:52:44 +0000 SarahD8 1993939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this moniker for you! The tennies with the Liberty skirt really make the look.</p> <p>Love that you have identified lippy and/or statement earrings as your recipe for instant polish. Work it!</p> <p>One thing I notice about your inspiration photos is a lot of midi length, somewhat full skirts. Would those cuts be practical for you? If so, I think they could be combined with more casual tops and flat/walkable footwear for a reliable outfit formula that fits the look you aspire to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1993929 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 16:34:59 +0000 Anonymous 1993929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whimsical romantic suits you very well, and works well with the examples you’ve shown. I like the lip colour you’re wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1993923 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 16:28:58 +0000 Jane 1993923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whimsical romantic sounds very good, I did wonder if it might be that the word Liberty or floral could be played with. Romantic rings very true, but may be not whimsical....just thinking out loud.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1993893 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 15:35:10 +0000 Jessikams 1993893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m working on lipcolor too. But it’s so hard to find the right color. Nude is easy. Bright red, bright pink, or dark plum are easy. But I haven’t yet found a cheery daytime color- pinkish? Coral?- that is easy to apply and will “lift” the whole complexion. This is my quest!</p> <p>I think you look great, definitely not dorky and it’s actually really refreshing to see such a defined personal style that is not “trendy” or following the crowd. Your kid seems to think you look pretty good too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1993879 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 14:51:47 +0000 cjh 1993879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a good moniker! You nailed it. </p> <p>I also feel much better about a day when I put on lipstick and earrings. Just tops off everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-whimsical-romantic#post-1993865 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 13:41:07 +0000 nemosmom 1993865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love Whimsical Romantic for you! I think it suits the outfits you've posted (the Liberty print skirt, even your previous beachy looks). You look comfy, confident, whimsical <i>and</i> romantic! I would think there are still ways you could get a boho-ish look through various textures and patterns (like eyelet tops, for example) could read boho, but still be practical.<br /><div><br /></div><div>I love your idea to add a daily lip color! Do you have any favorites?<br /></div> </p>
