Then narrow to women, etc., etc. Sometimes I'll search in google and narrow to shopping. I couldn't find anything otherwise. There would be too many results. I can glance at 100 things, but not 1000. Or in the case of Zappos, 10,000! Another place I've found things I like is Sierra Trading Post. Unfortunately I returned too many things and they fired me. Nordstrom hasn't done that yet, thank goodness.

Sometimes polyvore but I have less success with them. Or I go to one of the major retailers (ASOS is one of my faves) and put it in the search field. It's not really necessary for the smaller retailers because you can look at what they have to offer quite quickly.

Which...or both? I never thought of this, seriously. I do not feel smart!

Non style search is for natural tick deterrents for people and dogs. Ugh!!!

I feel overwhelmed otherwise. And shopstyle can be pretty helpful for narrowing the field. My searches have yielded numerous treasures, including my Ombre jacket of course! shedev on "Your most common search terms" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-most-common-search-terms/page/2#post-1679566 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 23:09:17 +0000 shedev 1679566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ asymmetrical distressed boots dystopian/ post apocalyptic specific designers catgirl on "Your most common search terms" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-most-common-search-terms/page/2#post-1679527 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 22:29:29 +0000 catgirl 1679527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Peri, by combining search terms I can really narrow down the field. For example, "'metallic plaid citron shift dress" would pull up a dream item for me! Or one of these terms with an item I want, like "silver loafers".... My retail options are limited and online shopping is so horribly overwhelming otherwise! I do a lot of this kind of searching at Shopstyle, Nordstrom, ASOS, etc. JAileen on "Your most common search terms" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-most-common-search-terms/page/2#post-1679518 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 22:04:45 +0000 JAileen 1679518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ By searching on plaid I found these garments. columbine(erin) on "Your most common search terms" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-most-common-search-terms/page/2#post-1679515 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 21:49:55 +0000 columbine(erin) 1679515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmm. Fun thread! My top search terms would be related to cooking and parenting and art, but I tend to imagine fashion/clothing items and then go looking for them, I.e., I wanted a navy a line knee length paneled linen skirt and went searching on google images and shopping til I found one.

I've never searched for clothes in this way. I always go to a store's website and check tops or dresses or whatever, and then move on to the next store. What do you find by searching with your terms? Ever found a treasure you wouldn't have found otherwise? Educate dummy me, please! catgirl on "Your most common search terms" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-most-common-search-terms/page/2#post-1679432 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 16:55:46 +0000 catgirl 1679432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, I did mean style searches. Otherwise mine would be "how to get rid of wasps" and "Maine coon cat traits", also books and movie reviews and cheap tickets to tropical places.

Otherwise mine would include terms like Scottie pinwheel (search that term - you won't regret it!). Anyway, here are the ones I can think of: Plaid, Tie dye, Western, Zigzag, Grey, Navy, Silver, Turquoise, Utility, Military, Poncho, Chambray Seasonally, I obsessively search on down, wool, boots, sandals, sleeveless, linen.

Wow, alaskagirl, creative way to get a snapshot glimpse of people's styles! Suz's post about not searching this way was just as interesting!

My next most common search is for the spelling of a word. I am not a gifted speller even though I read a lot. My grammar could use help also, right? Then I would say I search for books by title or category, or for the definition of a specific word in a book that I am reading. When I shop online, I most often search for designers and brands I know who's items fit me well. I have learned over time which ones work best. On occasion I will do a more general search using general item type (i.e. Dress, blouse, sandals, sweater, coat, etc.) or using color or material. I try not to get too specific when I use this strategy because I have found some unexpected and wonderful new items and brands. It's rare that I narrow my search to looking for grey leather belt, or fuschia dress, etc. When I have that type of gap, I find brick and mortar shopping a better approach.

That said, "silver", "gold" ,"metallic" and "moto" have all been on my radar more than once the last few months.  rachylou on "Your most common search terms" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-most-common-search-terms#post-1679204 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 02:48:27 +0000 rachylou 1679204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well now, this is deep. I have never broken my style down into elements like these. I think more in terms of persona. Mostly I search for designers and seasons, to see what's up. And visit shop sites and browse by clothing type. Have to have a think.

I don't think I search for adjectives nearly as much as designers or particular items. I am more likely to see it then research than look for it.
