I just love #3 and I really like the teal top with polka dotted scarf (is that the Halogen scarf?) of #6. Nice work!

Fantastic, Aida, these are fabulous. The black skinnies in 3 make you look 10 feet tall! 3 is my favourite, and I'm thinking it's because of the long sillouhette these pants give you, and and the high impact contrast of black, white, red, and light blue. I am in love with the necklace - the circles are so organic. Do you remember where it is from?

I've left this thread for when I have time to absorb it fully and together with the other one about your style direction it is such an educational, thorough read. Thanks for taking time to put it into words and sharing it, it really is inspiring.
Something that I've missed so far is that you're an engineer, but now it all nicely falls into place. From one to another, I totally understand your analytical side because that's how I get my head around things, style including. I'll be watching your transition to more instinctive style decisions very closely, I certainly need to see how it's done.

Without reading any of the descriptions and after just glancing over your photos, I could tell they were different. Maybe it's because you have been incorporating your spring buys, but there's an air of fresh, uncluttered look around them, while at the same time you keep that rebellious rock/punk chick that make these looks your own.

I can see why you call no.3 "blogger type", but because it's on you it looks and feels different. Unexpected, unpredictable for someone like you, shows a confidence that you won't be mistaken for just another blogger based on this. I love it. They are all fabulous in fact and none stands out, that's how consistent they are to me. But if I must, my favorite is no.5 because of that scarf which looks wonderful with that top. The fact it was unplanned, but turned out this brilliantly, just shows how far you are on your desired style path.

And I love that polka dot scarf in no.6. You always have such fun, feminine surprises hidden underneath, in this case, rough biker's shell. You look fab.

Love them all! I really love those olive green zippered pocket jeans on you! SO fun!

WOW thank you everyone, I'm floored by all the wonderful responses I just want to give you all big hugs!

Sveta - The jeans in #5 are a pair of DKNYs I thrifted. When I get home from work I'll see if I can find a style name on the tag for you. They are a lot looser through the thigh than the GAP L&Ls, and have a wider fit overall but still with fitted shaping.

Denise - Thanks for writing your thoughts on #3, I will definitely try to recapture this. The black skinnies are (don't laugh!) from Zumiez (teen skater shop) and the brand is called "Empyre" cut called "Eve super skinny"; I'm not sure why they work so well on me, because my hips are no where near junior in sizing!

QM - I'm kind of surprised (but happy) you find that leaving my hair down adds style points because all I do on those days is let it air dry, and maybe scrunch some mousse in; almost feels like cheating!

Kristine - Glad you noticed the little bits of white, it's been hard to switch out of my black mindset! Our weather is still pretty gray and cool so it doesn't feel too springy yet I usually braid my hair and wear a head scarf under my helmet to keep my hair in place, but totally forgot to that day (and ate more than enough hair to remember to do it the rest of the season!).

Beth - The polka dot scarf is from Modcloth, it's this one here. Though I'm eying that Halogen one in the store, too!

Lynne - I picked up the necklace from Target a week or two ago, but I can't find it on their site I will check if they still have them next time I'm there! You are certainly right about the skinnies; even without heels they make my legs look longer and after seeing this, I'm going to try to wear them more often. Plus I just love wearing black jeans!

Ornela - YES, uncluttered is exactly what I'm going for! I still love layers and plan to don them but I definitely want the finished look to FEEL uncluttered. I think this comes from perfectly fitting clothes (working on improving this) and only lightly accessorizing. Thank you for the insightful response, it's been wonderful reading everyone's thoughts on this especially with such a broad range of analytical/emotional approaches to fashion here. I think being only half engineer-brained is a huge help because I can articulate WHY some things work, but the other half artist-brain can spontaneously form an outfit that works. And then I can figure out why later, if I want to This has always been my approach, but without having figured out what I wanted before it was just moving along too slowly and inconsistently; it's part of the reason that, as much as I love lists and planning, I just can't plan out what I'm going to wear because I do actually mood dress!
