For years my stles was somewhere between girly and ALGO, but I'm just not feeling that as much lately, so I'm excited to explore new options.</p> <p>Emily and a few others suggested urban or a bit of edge, which sounds really good to me. And I like E's suggestion of neat lines and modern.<br /> Unfrumped, thanks for your comment on wearing black. I never used to wear black at all (stuck to grey) but I find myself being drawn to it more and more. Now I just need to figure out how to style it with what's in my closet.<br /> MuseumGal, I love those boots in general. Just didn't get to wear them much this winter!</p> <p>These give me some great starting points for searching through old forum posts and Pinterest, etc. Thanks again for your suggestions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---neutrals-plus-style-descriptor-needed#post-1171498 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:59:53 +0000 E 1171498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, it's a very flattering outfit on you &amp; your outwear is so cute! :)</p> <p>Now, for words. I like the idea of urban as Emily suggested. There's a boldness to the look too and an element of simplicity, straightforwardness. Neat lines, no fussiness. And a modern look for sure. The boots &amp; sweater texture have a bit of a sturdy feel to them as well, but that could be encompassed in bold.</p> <p>Don't know if any of that will be of help! Bold modern (or urban?)&nbsp;simplicity maybe?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---neutrals-plus-style-descriptor-needed#post-1171398 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:25:21 +0000 MuseumGal 1171398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see some urban warrior with those boots ... not a princess though, maybe sleek urban warrior?&nbsp; Unless the boots are just about the weather and not your style at all, then never mind ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---neutrals-plus-style-descriptor-needed#post-1171318 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 12:37:14 +0000 Anonymous 1171318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute tunic! I really like your necklace also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---neutrals-plus-style-descriptor-needed#post-1171309 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 12:24:46 +0000 unfrumped 1171309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. Neutral and strong neutraks( you can wear black!).<br /> Minimal or simple but with some simple accessories. The texture adds interest. In th photo the tunic reads as a more substantial knit which looks more refined and luxurious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---neutrals-plus-style-descriptor-needed#post-1171295 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 12:08:14 +0000 Emily 1171295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmmmmm. &nbsp;I think you need the word "Urban" in there somewhere. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---neutrals-plus-style-descriptor-needed#post-1171229 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 08:22:46 +0000 lyn* 1171229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soft ... warm and cozy ... but has a tailored edge ... *scratches head*&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---neutrals-plus-style-descriptor-needed#post-1171218 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 06:58:03 +0000 rabbit 1171218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>comfy-fierce?&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't know a good descriptor, I'm drawn to the same style too, neutral colors, drapey/long tops, leggings and boots that are a little tougher.</p> <p>I like the necklace with the sweater, and the peacoat/scarf/beanie combo is really cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---neutrals-plus-style-descriptor-needed#post-1171190 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 06:08:43 +0000 Dee 1171190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So my style goals for this year are&nbsp;to refine and tone down&nbsp;my style. This means a smaller but higher-quality wardrobe, fewer accessories, pops of color rather than mixing colors, etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>Today I grabbed this jersey tunic dress (sold as a dress, but I'm 5'2" and wearing it with leggings here). It doesn't photograph as nice as it looks, but it drapes really well in real life, which I like.&nbsp;&nbsp;Added the necklace (seen in my last WIW)&nbsp;to give it a bit of structure. And&nbsp;I was excited to wear&nbsp;regular boots rather than winter boots for a change.</p> <p>I really liked this outfit and would like to develop more style more in this direction. I'm trying to pinpoint what about this outfit really worked for me, so I was wondering how you would describe it? I've got neutral/minimal but not boring.&nbsp;</p> <p>And for fun, here is a bonus pick with outwear, inspired by the olive and pink post awhile back. It was warm enough for my olive&nbsp;wool peacoat rather than my usual&nbsp;down one today. I usually only wear this coat with a black scarf but instead I added this rose colored&nbsp;cowl I knit recently and really liked the combination! I will definitely be wearing this&nbsp;pairing again.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and comments or&nbsp;style descriptor suggestions welcome!</p> <p>Tunic - Aritzia<br />Leggings - Athleta<br />Boots - Steve Madden<br />Necklace - Forever21</p> <p>Peacoat -&nbsp;DKNY<br />Beret -&nbsp;Banana Republic<br />Cowl -&nbsp;Handknit</p>
