I have no idea what style is my dream style. When I walk by something hanging on the rack in the store, I have to fondle it if it is made of fantastic materials and impeccably made.

If I did and it looked good, that would be tragic because I couldn't afford it! Seems like one of those pieces that just magically looks good on everyone. kevinsgirl on "Things that are so you..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-that-are-so-you#post-28265 Sun, 28 Sep 2008 20:28:18 +0000 kevinsgirl 28265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ wow.

My friend tried it on in grey, and it was KILLER. Tanya: I tried on the DVF blouse in royal blue. It would probably look great on you...but there was something about it that I did not love...perhaps it was too shiny.

Antje on "Things that are so you..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-that-are-so-you#post-28196 Sun, 28 Sep 2008 09:03:27 +0000 Antje 28196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh wow. What a wonderful thread. So many beautiful items, and they all scream out someone's name so strongly... Love it (and I hope some of you will get some of these things!!) I don't know if I have the time/patience to find actual items to put together. But I want to play, so instead of finding specific pieces I will describe 2 types of outfits that I consider very "me": 1) Pencil skirt in some black & white pattern, black boots, shirt/blouse with some interesting detail (maybe ruffles), and a patterned vest/sleeveless top over it. The top part of the outfit features either red or fuchsia, in the shirt/blouse or the vest. 2) Straight jeans, fabulous flats or low-heel pumps in a bright color and/or funky style/pattern, cropped jacket/blazer in black with some red or white, top in a bright color with interesting detail, a bright scarf, funky earrings. They are both types outfits I already wear, and will wear a lot this fall, and already know that when I put them together I will feel the most "me". I'll wear other things, too, like dresses, tunics over skinnies, A-line skirts with cardis etc. etc. but the above are my faves because they are layered and offer the opportunity to play with contrasts like sexy skirt with tough boots etc. And now of course it would be fun to hunt for designer pieces to take this all to a whole new level, but why make myself drool over things I can't have Dawn on "Things that are so you..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-that-are-so-you#post-28144 Sun, 28 Sep 2008 00:06:31 +0000 Dawn 28144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really want this dress from asos: <a href="http://www.asos.com/countryid/19/Asos/Asos-Scoop-Neck-Jersey-Dress/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=393913&abi=1&clr=Charcoal" rel="nofollow">http://www.asos.com/countryid/.....r=Charcoal</a> I can imagine wearing the grey dress with coloured tights and a pair of black ballet flats.

But just you wait... I've been wanting to find time for a little surprise YLF project! Maybe this weeked.... I have figured out how to use our scanner and been going through old photos.

That could be quite interesting. Maya - drool-worthy sweater!!! I may simply be exhausted, but I'm not sure what is "so me." A lot of times I see things that I think are so me.... but they don't fit or flatter at all. And also, what is "so me" has been rapidly evolving lately.... so it's hard to say! Taffy - agree - anything green is so me too... that one I know for sure.

Well then.....that's a whole different story Amanda on "Things that are so you..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-that-are-so-you#post-28007 Sat, 27 Sep 2008 01:06:15 +0000 Amanda 28007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Even with all the shopping I've been doing, I don't think I've found anything that I felt was really "me" -- I guess I'm still trying to figure it out. I can look at something and say "that's not me" but not the opposite. But I will say that you all definitely have a style, because each link I clicked on, I thought "that's....!"

I've been thinking a bit more about this thread and I think it's funny that I picked this particular jacket: I definitely have a split fashion personality. Sometimes I'm attracted to more androgynous looks (like with the jacket) and then there are times when I feel like dressing super feminine. Not that I think that's a problem, only even more clothes to covet;-) Tanya on "Things that are so you..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-that-are-so-you#post-27983 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 22:51:09 +0000 Tanya 27983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very cool jacket Inge, I like it a lot!

I can't believe there is nothing on that list from J Crew! That DVF dress is gorgeous though. I'm on the hunt for a new jacket and when I saw the NL one I wanted to cry. It's perfect. I'd have to say NL would probably be "my" brand if I could afford it. For now I think the only thing I'll be getting from that outfit is the headband though.

Those things ARE really you. I find it is easier to see this with other people than with myself. I don't know because I feel like I'm currently trying to evolve my style a little bit. I just posted in the other thread that ruffles are me. I guess I like clean lines, but with a romantic twist.
