Lana, you have a wonderful sense of personal style. I find describing style tricky. I definitely see comfy, basic or modern classic. I also see either arty or soft edge. Finally I see something I might call “rugged natural” or “Midwest natural”, “north woods natural” or maybe “north woods rugged”. Maybe Midwest rugged? I’m originally from Michigan and I am trying to describe a certain natural look, which is perhaps subtlety unique as compared to the rugged/natural looks out west or in the northeast (I have lived in all three regions, longest in Michigan and NY). Maybe it’s more hiker/camper/rural farm and less western or eastern equestrian?
I use both a style statement and style adjectives. The idea of a two word style statement came up many years ago after I read a book suggested by Suz (a lovely member of our forum). “Style Statement, live by your own design” by McCarthy and LaPorte. My statement is “Genuine Composed”. I have tried a few others but always return to this one.
I also use style adjectives because I find them very helpful. My style adjectives have changed over time. For example for many years I used: Fresh, Classic, Sleek, Practical, Light. This year I changed them to: Sleek, Classic, Fresh, Functional and Fun.
To generate style adjectives I asked friends, and family to describe my style and then I picked out the words that repeated most and I narrowed it to five that felt right at that time.
