Hmmm, I’m all over the timeline, but only a few of the other descriptors have elements that fit me, and none of them are a solid match. Her definition of boho doesn’t sound like me. According to her definitions I go for elegant, eclectic, comfy, and feminine vintage styles. Combining elegant/feminine and comfy already sounds eclectic, lol.
One thing I think this list is missing is a point Synne made on her belts post: I might wear things that are traditionally sweet on their own, but the way I [seek to] combine them has a bite that isn’t accounted for here.
from the 20s list:
Pleated skirts
Bead, rhinestone and fringe embellishments
Less elaborate jewelry
From the 30s:
Bias cut dresses
Mid calf hem lines
Mary Jane or t-strap shoes

Seamed stockings
High waist trousers
Bright and colourful
60s:
Bright patterns, psychedelic swirls & tie dye
Turtlenecks
Mini skirts

Comfy Shoes you can walk in all daaaay
“Picking eclectic as one of your keywords is a great way to give yourself permission to fully inject your personality in to your wardrobe”
Ha! That might be an excuse to stop right there
Elegant: Fit & good quality fabrics are a must.
Feminine is not a word I’d use to describe myself but I wear
Floral prints
& brights
My old stuff is apparently vintage, even though it’s not second hand.
I agree with la ped that Garconne implies French and more androgyny and sophistication than tomboy. I think it’s also less playful/RATE. That’s why it doesn’t suit me. I prefer not to come across as sophisticated. People who buy that—in terms of clothing or otherwise, such as discussing feelings without the overlay— reveal themselves to be surface-level, not doing the research, do I know not to be too concerned about their opinions.
I realize this blogger is selling a product—a tool to help you come up with a capsule wardrobe. I’m not sure how that works, seeing that the info comes from my own preferences, with which I’m already familiar.
