But I love the Oxfords you posted and they sound like they might fit me. I am seriously considering them. And I like the look of Docs but they're so heavy I can't weight to take them off at the end of the day.</p> <p>Diane, arty and bold sound great! Boho is funny for me - I like it in the summer but not the winter. I wonder if anyone else has seasonal style descriptors?</p> <p>Naz, what is it about pockets on dresses that are so fab? I rarely even use them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508742 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 20:36:52 +0000 citygirldc 1508742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey there. I love dress #1 with the cool print and pockets (love pockets on my skirt and dresses) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508717 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 19:07:35 +0000 Anonymous 1508717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I'm so impressed with all these fab outfits. Your style is soaring at the moment Dee. More love for the Gap dress from me and I also really like the semi sheer shirt and crops. How about Bold, Arty, Boho? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508712 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 19:00:49 +0000 Greyscale 1508712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so hear you on the high-volume shoes that aren't boho! I'm very pleased with a new addition to my shoe wardrobe: I got a pair of J Crew boy's dress oxfords and they go with everything. They're wide enough for my feet, and I keep them laced very loosely so they're comfortable on my high instep.&nbsp;They're obviously not feminine, but that's good for my style.</p> <p>If my feet were bigger, I could get men's shoes, of course, but I'm a men's 5 and that's more often found in the boys' section.</p> <p>I've also found Dr Martens to be good for my feet, again because they're a unisex shape. My favorite sandals are Dr Martens. Clunky, but edgy in a way that works for me.</p> <p>These might be a bit too RATE / whatever for your look, I realize, especially the sandals. The oxfords are more minimalist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508675 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 17:32:25 +0000 donnat 1508675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really have some killer outfits there. Love them all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508605 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 14:24:42 +0000 Dee 1508605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maneera and Shevia, thank you! That dress is the reason I hope Gap isn't closing anytime soon.</p> <p>CocoLion, I love your interpretation of my style! I would love to be that person. Due to some medical issues, footwear is my eternal challenge. Why is it so hard to find wide, high-volume shoes in non-boho styles??? They are my HEWI and I am definitely keeping an eye out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508480 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 03:36:48 +0000 CocoLion 1508480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 3 best. &nbsp;I can really see a new style emerging. &nbsp;I see those as being urban, minimal and androgynous. &nbsp;</p> <p>I would suggest looking for some footwear that matches the vibe of these two outfits. &nbsp;The footwear you're wearing with these outfits are more Boho and Arty. &nbsp;Maybe Boho/Arty is another side of your style you like to bring out from time to time, and I totally get that. &nbsp;I do that myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508466 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 03:12:48 +0000 Jaime 1508466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gap dress is fantastic on you! Fun outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508440 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 02:22:23 +0000 Maneera 1508440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that GAP dress on you....so chic with those sandals and your sexy hair! </p> <p>I think your LBD is simply perfect for you, and I do love the way you accessorize. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508424 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 01:46:12 +0000 Dee 1508424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter, I got the EF tank on sale at the Rack at the end of last summer, sorry! It's a little tricky to style with the see-through bottom part, but it works well for dressy-casual. And I so rarely get to dress up! This was a dressy week for me and it was fun.</p> <p>Suz, I completely agree! I thought edginess was what I wanted, but I don't quite want structure or RATE, so it's hard to figure out what from that is what I was looking for. </p> <p>KL, thanks! I always chop my hair off in the summer for maximum cool (temperature-wise)! And glad I can still wear the LBD.</p> <p>Joyce, thank you!</p> <p>Carla, there's definitely a bit of modern classic to my style. But I also like some high-volume pieces and drape - does that also fall under modern classic? I'm trying to narrow it down. I guess I want to make sure I balance the modern with the classic! Thank you for the feminine comment too!</p> <p>Smittie, thanks! I love a little drama! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508409 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 01:05:10 +0000 Anonymous 1508409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really love the first three, more dramatic, looks on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508405 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 01:01:06 +0000 Carla 1508405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are killing it, Dee! How about modern classic (vs traditional classic?) these outfits have a certain feminine softness without resorting to the usual ruffles and lace. You look approachable and oh! so stylish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508395 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 00:41:34 +0000 Joyce B 1508395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fancy! Those dresses and the other outfits look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508357 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 23:15:45 +0000 Kristin L 1508357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, I love your hair!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think your LBD still looks great. And the Gap dress looks flattering on you as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508341 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 22:22:26 +0000 Suz 1508341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That Gap dress suits you so well. And I love the outfit with the EF top also.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ah, that word "edge." It is so ubiquitous. We all think we want it..until we realize we actually want something else, lol. The trick is figuring out the "something else."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508337 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 22:09:03 +0000 carter 1508337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! I am salivating over the EF long sleeveless top in #3! It's stunning! Is it from this year?</p> <p>You look great in all of these. Isn't it fun to have a period when you get to dress up a bit more? I may have to create some "events". You're an inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-style-descriptor-update#post-1508333 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 21:50:17 +0000 Dee 1508333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've gone out for meals and theatre events with friends a few times in the last week, which gives me an excuse to be (slightly) dressier than my average day. The outfits below are a pretty good example of the range of my style at this point.</p> <p>I've realized over the past couple of months that although I like clothes with interesting lines and drape, I am still not a big fan of structure and edgy might not be the word I'm looking for in my style. I'm thinking more about dramatic or artistic as a descriptor lately. I like the idea of urban but I'm not quite there yet. Dramatic casual? What do you think? Suggestions welcome!</p> <p>Outfit 1: Worn out to lunch with a friend. You all have seen this dress before, but I'm on SYC this month and there are only so many ways to remix a dress, so here it is again! Added the gold sandals to dress it up a bit.<br /> Gap dress, Seychelles sandals from DSW.</p> <p>Outfit 2: Worn to an evening event with a friend. This is my LBD. I've had it for four or five years and worn it to work events, weddings and more. It's a little snug on the bottom this year (I don't wear shapewear) but I hope it still works.<br /> Loft dress, JCrew belt, Coach shoes from DSW.</p> <p>Outfit 3: Worn to the theatre and out to dinner with DH. I got these white crops last year and loved them, but they've been too snug this season too far. Paired them with this long EF high-low tank for extra coverage. I would have worn sandals but it was going to rain and I hate open shoes in the rain.<br /> Loft crops, EF tank, Softspots shoes, Zara necklace.</p> <p>And one more casual outfit:<br /> Outfit 4: Worn over the weekend. This shirt is another frequently worn item this summer. I love how light and breezy it feels.<br /> Loft shirt, BR shorts, Seychelles sandals</p> <p>Comments and feedback welcome! </p>
