Marley

What is it? I think that I must have missed out when this was being discussed on the forum. Can someone please give me a clue!

Well...I have seen people's "rubric" and I don't really understand. So please share the clue ! I think of Rubic's Cube, which reminds me of Garanimals......yikes !

I think it is something Transconna Shannon came up with to simplify, in a few words, a benchmark or series of adjectives that when combined, made her outfit feel like hers.

Here was my first stab at it http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ubric-idea

I've since decided on 'shrift':

Streamlined
Hardware
Repetition
Fitted
Texture

And the term "rubric" is borrowed from academia, where it refers to standardized grading criteria: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubric_%28academic%29

Yes, Shannon came up with the idea to combine style elements (rather than types of clothing) into a formula that would ensure the personal style is always represented.

Mine is:
Bright
Dark
Structure
Waist demarkation
Toughness

It took me more than a year to come up with a rubric, and as an educator, I "do" rubrics every day! I took an open approach to it, and focused more on how I wanted to present myself than the clothing style itself. To me, it's a tool, not a rule, and I chose:

Form and Flow (a balance of structure and softness)
Energy and Ease (vibrant and sometimes dramatic, but always warm and approachable)

If the rubric doesn't seem helpful, sometimes making a list of style goals will help focus your shopping and remixing.
