(That's my cautious side.) </p> <p>&nbsp;If you think things are holding you back from really getting fully into your euro-chic neutral zone, toss 'em out!&nbsp; (I did some of that this weekend, and some of them came from said holding zone.)</p> <p>I wear a lot of shades of deep pinks or berry tones and this fall I've gone way into the darker versions, burgundy and plums, and less fuchsia. But&nbsp;I think &nbsp;brighter versions will still have a role in signaling the coming of spring and summer, for me--in fact&nbsp;shifting between the different versions of&nbsp;this color family&nbsp; &nbsp;is my&nbsp; way of limiting my&nbsp;color palette but having the right amount of variety, and working with neutrals that go with each end of the spectrum.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-shift-going-on#post-1085514 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:39:40 +0000 Dee 1085514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds like where I want to be! I might need to repeat your search.&nbsp;My style has&nbsp;always been bright/colorful and often a lot of pattern, etc. But since the spring I've found myself reaching more and more&nbsp;for muted tones and neutrals. I'm taking it as a challenge to still feel fun in styles that consist of more basics and neutrals. Good luck with your style shift! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-shift-going-on#post-1085221 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:13:05 +0000 E 1085221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My style has definitely shifted in the past couple of weeks, but that's because of the weather. It cooled off, so suddenly I can wear belts again! And sweaters and long sleeve tees, which fit more closely.&nbsp;After a summer of waist surrendering and breezy woven blouses&nbsp;it's quite a difference, but it happens every year so at least I already have the appropriate clothes.</p> <p>I look forward to seeing your future more Eurochic inspired outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-shift-going-on#post-1085151 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:17:59 +0000 qfbrenda 1085151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The seasons could be part of it.&nbsp; My summer clothes are definitely more colorful than my winter closet.&nbsp; I plan to find more summer things in neutral colors but we'll see how I feel come spring.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; </p> <p>Thanks for the comments, everyone.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-shift-going-on#post-1084771 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 13:40:48 +0000 Suz 1084771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It could be partly seasonal, too, Brenda. I find I'm more drawn to neutrals in fall/ winter. While at the same time I still crave a punch of colour and love having a red coat in the depths of winter. Still, colours that work brilliantly on me in spring/ summer seem too garish for me in winter (cobalt, for instance).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-shift-going-on#post-1084765 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 13:35:35 +0000 El Cee 1084765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Euro-chic is a great direction for you... sleek, sophisticated and the color palette will work so well with your softer hair color. Yes, hair change can definitely prompt wardrobe change. I went&nbsp;from long waves to a short, spiky do and find I am gravitating toward a more arty, eclectic, maximal style. Change can be fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-shift-going-on#post-1084344 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 01:04:46 +0000 Jewell 1084344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny you should ask! Lately I find myself drawn to items that don't jibe with the modern classic princess I've been for the past few years. A good example would be the skull scarves I found myself admiring in two different stores. Perhaps an edgier style persona is on the horizon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-shift-going-on#post-1084164 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 23:18:02 +0000 qfbrenda 1084164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do think my hair change is part of what is prompting this.&nbsp; I've already gotten rid of anything brown that I wore next to my face.&nbsp; I didn't have much... a tank, a scarf... but they didn't look right anymore.&nbsp; </p> <p>Mo, I'm with you on anything sweet.&nbsp; Not for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-shift-going-on#post-1084127 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 22:41:58 +0000 jenanded 1084127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remember your emerging new hair colour is part of the euro chic transformation.... go with the flow... it sounds wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-shift-going-on#post-1084032 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 21:03:33 +0000 Mo 1084032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I am wanting to ditch anything remotely sweet or borderline preppy, not that I lean that way to begin with, but there are a few outliers in the closet still. &nbsp;I'm just having trouble mixing my climate needs with my style desire. &nbsp;Floaty skirts and dresses are great for hot and humid, but not exactly edgy. :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-shift-going-on#post-1083999 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:28:33 +0000 rachylou 1083999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it's happening to me again. Started a new project, in a new work place, and I just want to redo redo redo. Lol.</p> <p>I'm still liking the rocker-punk thing, but now I want it in suits. </p> <p>On the positive note, I think perhaps I can take *Country Punk* all the way through winter on the *at home* front... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-shift-going-on#post-1083932 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 19:50:24 +0000 qfbrenda 1083932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lately all I want to read about, research, and pin is French Euro Chic fashion.&nbsp; I've been more modern classic so far, which of course overlaps with euro chic.&nbsp; I know I've been thinking about it for a while since when I did searches for "euro chic" on YLF, I found my own comments.&nbsp; </p> <p>I'm suddenly drawn to less color, more neutrals, lots of dark gray, basics... and I'm not sure how that's going to affect what I already own.&nbsp; I can't afford to replace a bunch of stuff but I have a decent grouping of basics that should work for a while.&nbsp; My more colorful things might get neglected and eventually find their way to the door.</p> <p>Any other style shifts happening around here? </p>
