Style Moniker and Adjectives help me refine?

What a useful exercise. I was backwards and read today's blog post first which prompted me to come up with:

Casual – 99.9% of my life.
Fun – I love playful,somewhat whimsical things, but don’t want to cross over to twee or cute.
Detailed – I like the details in an outfit (and life – I’m an OCD over-analyzer)
Sleek – this may be aspirational.
Eclectic – I reserve the right to veer from any of these as the mood hits.

Then I read yesterdays Blog and everyone's great words and put in some thought to a moniker. I realized my moniker should include something about my life, so how about:

"Creative Mountain Cool"

I think Mountain captures my casualness and very sporty side, and Creative covers the eclecticism, fun and details I like. Cool may need work, but I want to acknowledge both my affinity for a bit of minimalism and the tiniest bit of edge.

I'd love to hear thoughts and better suggestions. I want to check off a 2018 Style goal of finding descriptors!

I don't know; I think you might have got it there! I think that moniker works well for all of these ... you could potentially use "modern" rather than "cool" as I see an element of sleekness in some of these.

Well, as I was driving around today I was thinking about these monikers. What came to mind for you was Alpine Elegance or Modern Elegance -- Modern Alpine Elegance? Modern Mountain Drama? Something about how well you wear flares and cowl necks makes me thinking you need something along the lines of elegant/glam/dramatic in there. Like TG, "modern" came to mind, as it seems to evoke both streamlined and playful -- maybe it's Cool from a different angle.

Hmm I see you most definitely like to play with different looks and silhouettes, so extra points for that. Here goes:
Intentional
Eclectic
Unique
Creative
Inventive
Detailed
Pretty
Ornate
Best of luck with it!

Thank you all. This is very helpful. Cool Just has a little bit of “cool kid” connotation, which I never was, so maybe that is where I’m struggling. I thought of Modern as more like Angie’s style, including current which I’m not sure I am, but I can see it also covering some of what I’m looking for. I like inventive, Alpine and maybe Elegance Drama and Glamour are something to aspire to. I like their contrast with Casual.

Oooh, Alpine Elegant, I love! Or how about Creative Alpine Elegant? Or Boho Alpine Elegant? (There is a touch of boho in the patterns and shapes of some of the tops).
