Suz: I definitely think dressing my new body size has been an adventure and my biggest concern has been in trying to get the proportions right for my petite height which I was so missing before taking photos and YLF. Color is what makes my heart sing, so makes perfect sense that my classic pieces reveal that. My boho side comes out to play when I am in the mood and I would say that I am strongly a mood dresser.
Karie- your answer was wise and spot on!
TexStyle- I think as I said above to Suz that I am a mood dresser and warmer temps bring out my boho side, but would not feel right year round.I would say more classic with a twist is my happy place. I love color way to much and my least favorite outfits to wear are the neutrals. I like the, in photos, but don't feel as energetic and myself in them.I would say adding the creme moto vest does help with that though......I so appreciate your perspective and the help it gave me to really define this better...
Rachylou- Your response truly made my heart sing as I have always been more classic in my shoes and am expirmenting more and more in that arena. Well, I have always been a bit boot crazy... I do love my wedged slingbacks in these temps which are more classic... There really are two sides to me and my style..That is one thing that is very apparent from this discussion.
Unfrumped: Good points... I do like those features in the pink dress and have it in three colors...hmmm???
Eliza: I think I've always had a classic almost preppy side to me. I actually didn't realize I hade done so much with the classics until this all came up and have to say, I'm kind of happy with myself for doing so. I would say minimalism is defintely not my thing and is apparent.
This is so helpful!!!! Thanks for taking time out of your day and the wonderful insightful responses! Hope more responses come to further push me to take a further look...
