Hmmm, certainly no earth shattering shifts for me - in fact, I'm continuing to weed out what doesn't seem to 'fit' my persona (mod silk shift dress most recently). But I don't feel stagnate either. Perhaps I am another on team full circle. Actively seeking out a maxi skirt and dress, after tossing those I had when I got here (2010). Wearing short shorts again, but a better version. Etc, etc. I suppose refining works for me, too. And I still have a hard time repeating exact outfits, even though I've pared my closet and color palette drastically from when I first got here. That need to tweak something to make it different is still strong, even subconsciously.

Not changing too much, more refining like others said. I'm replacing placeholders with better pieces as I can. For ex: I'm wearing a weirdly stiff navy linen blouse today that I hope will be replaced with the linen navy blouse I have order. Linen should be soft, not sure if the one I'm wearing is 100% linen.

I'm finding a few of the pieces I've been searching for over the past two years - a deep blue unlined knit navy blazer for example.

I'm sticking mostly to my neutral palette of navy, charcoal, oatmeal, denim, black and white, and I'm enjoying the limit so I can focus on fit, feel and style of the cut instead of the color.

I find if I try to evolve too fast I end up with orphans, so I'm puttering in neutral. Although I have bought a few pairs of BFs which is new to me.

Mine...because it shifted so much this past Fall and Winter to looser, longer, more fluid. I want to enjoy this for a while...it still feels very new to me. I want to maintain it and find Spring and Summer things to continue it, so I'm definitely not looking to revamp it now.

Great question !

I am in this weird middle. I am going back to black, soft button downs and some of the things that I used to love before hand. But I have also found that I really like these "flowy" tops ( like the Joie sweater that I got in a large ) and a couple more interesting shoes for summer that are not black .

I feel as if I have tried some new things but now I am settling in with a bit of both old and new.

I'm steaming along pretty happily. If anything, I need to polish up a little - tackle the hair, weed the closet of old things - rather than hare off in a new direction. It's probably because my new projects are in old places. The wardrobe remains valid. I did need a feel for suits at the end of last year, but having got some, I'm good. Style strategy-wise, the punky quirky waif thing is also working for me, keeping me happy. It's mostly in my head - little touches I bring to the officewear; but it's enough to satisfy.

Refining, definitely. Not changing much, just zeroing in on what I really love and aiming for more of that.

wow, I need to come back and analyze this.... More responses than I expected, and lots of refining! Must ponder. Thanks for replying!

My style's been devolving. I'm kind of a mess these days.

Mochi, hope that's because you've been tangoing yourself senseless! All well?

No, not doing too much of that (though I'm doing work for my teachers' gallery). I'm just feeling like not making effort at the moment.

I guess my style would be slightly evolving if I were putting effort and money into it. I'm tired of what I own, at least the limited options aspect of it. Overall the look is okay but limited.

I feel like in am developing two distinct style personas. On the one hand I am really drawn to and excited about modernish draped mainly unstructured looks. On the other I am wanting to hone my pre-YLF formula of jeans and a solid top to perfection in fit an proportion. What I choose for any given day (persona 1 or persona 2) seems to depend on the weather and my mood. After going pattern crazy for two years I am mainly done with adding any, Ill be interested to see how the longevity goes on them as I seem to tire of prints more quickly than solids.

For me, it has been more a year of editing and narrowing down to what is authentic to me, rather than adopting a completely new look. Figuring out my style persona was helpful, so that new purchases worked for, rather than against me. Understanding some fashion concepts has led to some experimentation, but it all fits into the overall scheme of things.
