Shevia my perception of you is an open, curious, energetic, person — the bubblegum pink is playful and fun, so it fits you.

I don't think of myself as courageous, but in some contexts I suppose I am.<br /><b>Sharan</b> I think unique, creative and thoughtful might be my ultimate style (and life) aspiration. Thank you!<br /><b>Jules</b> Very interesting. As an older American mother in Israel I have had to get used to standing out. Fortunately I can turn on my social blinders or I would never go out.&nbsp;<br /><b>Dana</b>, <b>Nikki</b> and <b>Mirjana</b> I seem to gravitate toward pink lately, thank you!<br /><b>Kaelyn</b> - This thread and others here about personality has made me rethink my self perception.

The pink is not "me" and I would feel conspicuously not myself.<br />I think there are so many factors in people's clothing choices. I would say you have a strong interest&nbsp;in&nbsp;(and great eye for) vintage and quality fashion and thrifting, and aren't <i>afraid</i> to stand out even if it does not match your inner life. Personally I would often to prefer to neither stand out nor be a follower - eg, at a school event or neighbourhood party where I am one of many middle aged moms, I won't be&nbsp;wearing the exact brands and items that are trending in that crowd, but I still blend well and don't choose to call attention to myself. However at work in a male-dominated field, I've already gotten used to never blending in, so I basically dress how I please which may include relatively bold statements.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/www---bold-and-structured#post-2172391 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 15:30:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2172391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That coat is a fantastic find. Love that wider 60s collar! You look so good in it; the color is flattering and eye-catching, and the outfit you've created makes it seem like the coat has found its rightful owner. The sweater is gorgeous on you too. I think this shade of pink is a winner for you. Your outfits are unique, creative, and thoughtful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/www---bold-and-structured#post-2172388 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 15:16:13 +0000 Anonymous 2172388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your twins are growing up so quickly.

Yes, I found YLF when they were merely 2! And I am not exaggerating when I say that you and YLF have made me a better mother to them.&nbsp;<br />Opposite personalities, but perhaps similar in values, taste and other sensibilities! Won't it be nice when we are all able to meet again . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/www---bold-and-structured#post-2172382 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 15:08:12 +0000 Angie 2172382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>Such a super duper Spring look! </p> <p>(SEND SPRING WEATHER TO SEATTLE PLEASE).</p> <p>I've met you in person a few times sweet <b>Jaime</b>, and we get on very well! Opposites attract, but somehow our personalities and styles collide and gel on what I believe is a greater dimension :)</p> <p>I agree with <b>Bijou</b>. I have a few introverted clients who wear the same brights as I do. They are bold in their hearts, like you!</p> <p>And your beautiful twins grew up here on YLF.</p> <p>*happy sigh*</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/www---bold-and-structured#post-2172380 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 15:02:43 +0000 Jaime 2172380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow and thank you for your insight and kind words. So much to think about!<br /><b>Tanya</b> - Could be - I do have a contrarian streak.<br /><b>Runcarla</b> - That is very interesting. When I wore hats all the time, conversations like that happened frequently. But honestly, although I appreciated the compliment, I am not really into conversations with strangers. Perhaps that is why I like my clothes to do the talking.<br />Thank you <b>slim cat</b>!<br /><b>Barbara Diane </b>- Definitely! I will sometimes wear bright colors or unconventional shapes but there are a lot of outfits I would never do that I see all the time. It is all subjective.<br /><b>Bijou</b> - I think you are right - boldness is just not about introversion/extroversion.<br /><b>Lisa</b> - Yes. I prefer to say as much as possible without words, especially to strangers.<br /><b>suntiger</b> - Interesting connection! I did change countries with a suitcase and one connection, now that you mention it.<br /><b>Helena</b> - Interesting point! I am not sure I ever expected myself to be consistent.<br /><b>RobinF</b> - I do believe you have nailed it. I don't want to speak up but I want to be recognized. Not a very functional stance in the world but there you have it.

It sounds like my personality is very similar to yours. Maybe the shy, introverted personal traits make us want to express ourselves without having to say things. Hence the pink :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/www---bold-and-structured#post-2172335 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 13:25:46 +0000 Helena 2172335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful family, and you are gorgeous in pink!&nbsp; I&nbsp;love that your post (and many of the values &amp; personality posts) are embracing rather than fighting the contradictions we find within ourselves ... after all, we are complex beings, not cartoon characters! Your style encompasses this non-duality beautifully, Shevia! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/www---bold-and-structured#post-2172318 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 12:40:05 +0000 Anonymous 2172318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! That one article said that people with high openness to experience are bolder with fashion. Guessing you'd fit, because thrifting is inherently being open to whatever may be there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/www---bold-and-structured#post-2172317 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 12:39:00 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2172317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Letting your clothes present a side of you that's less apparent, without having to say so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/www---bold-and-structured#post-2172314 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 12:24:30 +0000 Bijou 2172314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia - that pink coat is everything and looks stunning on you. You absolutely HAD to have it!</p> <p>Boldness does not have only to do with introversion or extroversion. You find and wear items that are high fashion timeless pieces. They are bold in design because they are innovative. You wear them well and they suit you perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/www---bold-and-structured#post-2172277 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 05:22:05 +0000 Barbara Diane 2172277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the coat, top, and photo with your daughters.<br />I was shocked to realize while reading here one time, that while I consider myself a quiet dresser because I wear simple, skimming silhouettes, even though I wear color, someone else considered that they stuck out if they wore colors, even though they wore maximal silhouettes. Isn't all this fun to consider.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/www---bold-and-structured#post-2172262 Tue, 16 Feb 2021 03:29:50 +0000 slim cat 2172262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit and the family photo!

I am drawn to bright pink lately and love the 60s style and buttons on this coat. And another fairly recent addition, bright pink vintage cashmere sweater - not the highest quality but the color called to me. Shown here with my now 16 (!) year old daughters.<br />Still thinking about the apparent contradiction between my sometimes out there style choices and my extremely inward mental state. All thoughts and comments welcome of course! </p>
