Yay, I'm a veteran too :) plus name my style game

I've just noticed I'm a Veteran too and I must admit virtual badges have never been *this* important as they are on YLF.

Now, about the question I wanted to ask for quite some time. Since this is the place where I search for my style, I wanted to ask you to help me name it. I find that having specific words (generally) really helps me focus and although I already have some half-definitions myself, I'd like your input too.

There have been threads asking similar question in the past, but I never participated in them. 12 months into my active presence here might be a good time for that.

I am very curious what you'll come up with

Congrats on being an old fart!

If I had to pin down your "style" in three words, I'd probably use ...

1. Pencil Skirt!
2. Easy Elegance.
3. Perfectly Belted.

Okay, they're not words, they're mini-phrases. ^__~

Strong, Crisp, Modern, Minimal, Lady-Like, Elegant.

Those words come to mind first when I think of Ornella's style.

Then there is:

Red

Stripe

Statuesque

Euro

Gams!!!

Aida

Angie's words are right in line with what I was thinking: Regal, Minimal, Classic, Modern, Graceful, Highly Polished. I also think of contrast, red, purple, dots, and stripes

(Congrats on your Veteranship! I noticed my profile has said "11 months 3 weeks" for several days now and am curious when it'll tick for me, too! I didn't realize we'd joined at the same time.)

Congratulations, Ornella!

I think Angie and Aida have hit it right on the nail when it comes to your style. I think also of your refinement, especially in accessorizing. I suppose that could be seen as an aspect of Highly Polished or Lady-Like, but I think the attention to detail is greater than even those phrases might imply.

I have been trying to come up with a nice alliterative catchphrase that could encapsulate all this. So far, coming up blank, but give me time....

Without looking at the other responses, these are my adjectives about your style:

Minimal, clean lines, classic, feminine, soft, touch of whimsy.

Thanks ladies, what a lovely "good morning" this is... You all get one big BOOST and if I could I'd kiss you all, I'd do that too.

Angie, I am so happy 'modern' made it to your list! I find that aspect the most challenging.

Aida, I remember we joined around the same time, as the whole thing was new to me I was watching for others to see how to play this whole game And you were so disctnctive from the start.

Suz, writer's catchphrase is very much anticipated... no pressure

To me you are a M.E.C.

Congrats on becoming a veteran! I remember that you joined a little before I did. I'd say your style is simple, modern, feminine and elegant! Classic but a also a little bit playful.

Congratulations on becoming a veteran. I would use the words regal, classic, and mordern to describe your style.

I haven't read the replies because I didn't want to be too influenced, so I'm sorry if I repeat what everyone else has already said.

Refined
Elegant
Lady-like
Approachable

I know that that last one doesn't seem to go with the first ones, but in all of the pictures that I've seen, you always have this beautiful, radiant smile that makes you look like someone who would be easy to talk to, and that balances out your sophisticated clothes. Plus, I seem to remember you playing with colors, and that always makes people look more approachable to me.

Carole

Congrats! I would describe your style as Classic and Minimal with Strong Feminine Influences. Lovely comes to mind too!

Modern, Polished, Elegant, Minimal. Congratulations!

Lynne

Ornella, the words kind, elegant, eloquent, stature, Grace Kelly, clean, fun, striking, high contrast, modern, and polished all come to mind. And your colouring reminds me of Snow White in the original Disney animation.

If I had to summarize you I would say elegant, modern, and inspires confidence. Looking forward to following this :).

Vani

Veteran

Regal, elegant, striking, crisp, fun and modern

Lynne

Forgot to add intentional, Ornella. Looking forward to hearing what you bubble all this down to :).

Congrats!! I define your style like this:

you are a minimal classicist or just "minimal classic style"

Hope that helps!

Wow, what a fantastic response, thanks so much everyone. I'll have to find some magic formula now and throw all these in to come up with some catchy one-liner, for the moment I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your contributions to this discussion
