Perfect! every time i take one of those 'style tests' i have about 4 types represented fairly equally...not all that useful. YOU, on the other hand, hit the nail on the head 1st try. *dang* it pry helps that we both have that visual creativity going on...btw, i'm really enjoying your 'tailoring/quality fabric' week! thank you, stpehtinyjuncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614867046924013061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-43377056045836204942010-12-06T17:12:33.680-08:002010-12-06T17:12:33.680-08:00I think you and I share an ecclectic mix of styles...I think you and I share an ecclectic mix of styles, steph, altho I must say you have quite a few more than me! For me, its the artist in me and its always a work in progress. I think you do have an underlying style that always comes through even though a mood will designate which end of the spectrum you will go! Me, I'm funky/chic, but there are days I may look more sporty. You have that eccentric/chic style that can be any of those personalities you describe. I understand totally!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15031246468893452366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-35744304107588082882010-12-06T11:32:34.822-08:002010-12-06T11:32:34.822-08:00Thank you Terri! that's so interesting about w...Thank you Terri! that's so interesting about why you go minimal - so many times what we see as limitations help provide a structure for our individual style. you work it in a way that draws a person into notice the details and pay attention.<br /><br />have you read Judith Thurman's bio of Karen Blixen? it is one of my favorite books ever - Isak Dinesen led an adventurous, complicated life, is an incredible writer, and Ms. Thurman's dedication in telling her story just floors me.<br /><br />i have a post somewhere about how K. Blixen is the only person i think i can hold up as a style icon or touchstone, personally - warts and all! thank you, stephtinyjuncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614867046924013061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-84627563967345612312010-12-06T10:49:16.099-08:002010-12-06T10:49:16.099-08:00Steph--first, thank you for the reference!

My minimalism often has to do with discomfort in over-styling. <br /><br />Your mention of Blixen was a moment of recognition--that IS your primary look. I like the rugged touches in your style. You are better at the quirky touches that make an ensemble interesting and garner the attention on the street!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
