What's Your Fashion Style? - Page 3
Question:
Excellent question! I find my style always progressing. i remember the first time i went shopping, actually taking interest in what i bought; i was 14 and my sister took me to abercrombie. 4 years later I'm just a few weeks into 18 and my style has most certainly changed. I have no problem with stores like abercrombie and hollister, i just dont find their clothing (or stereotypes) very tasteful. bah! give me culture, give me beauty i find it extremely hard to get clothes in my size; I'm pretty slim but i manage. there's nothing like the minimal sophistication of the rightly fitted and dyed jeans--never too slim, cuffed high in complacence and graced with a simple black polo or white button-down. finished with some chic thrift-store belt and a pair of driving shoes. young with a taste for high fashion? sample sales! vintage stuff and some H&M Favorate designer: Etro. its cultured, sofisticated and whimsical all the same. I think its fun to be sort of playful or whimsical with what i wear as well. I find comfort here in actual prep lines like Polo RL or a more edgy Ben Sherman. You can't tell me its not fun to pull off pink pants! Browns and blacks go together quite interestingly. dont wanna go off on a crazy tangent here in fragrance i just love the simple yet sophisticated Prada but am currently OBSESSED with Dior Homme...the two are quite different arent they. really illuminates the broad spectrum of high fashion. I may be refined and mature or whatever, but at the end of the day, im just 18. Prada is kinda not very 18, no? Answer: Hee... In my mind, I'm a size 4 with an extensive Chloe wardrobe. In reality...well, I don't visit reality very much. In real life...I'm a lady who lives in rural Alaska. I wear jeans, hiking boots, and a sweater or hoodie to work almost every day. If it's really nasty out or if I have to go out in the field, I'll wear hideous brown and yellow Xtratuf boots. They're so disgusting, but out here people wear 'em like tennis shoes. For the entire first year that I lived here (I've been here 3 years so far), I wore longjohns 24/7 (longjohns are long underwear). I would get out of the hottest shower possible each morning, towel off furiously and as fast as humanly possible, and immediately get into my longjohns while applying deodorant, then blowdry my hair. I was freezing my ass off constantly. Of course...since then I've worked quite a bit on my adipose tissue as is the joke at the fire department (i.e. gained fat). Sigh. Someday I'll be rich and have a wealthy paramour that will take me to St Bart's and other tropical getaways, and I can be tanned and lithe instead of bundled up and ghostly pale. Answer: I love second hand clothes as well as retro stuff.I particularly love the 60's and 70's style,but tend to mix it to make it my own style....I like to mix it with cheaper stuff like H&M clothes.In general I'm a weird mixure of "hippie meets goth".A bit bohemian perhaps?Loves to wear dresses over jeans etc,etc Answer: I was told once at a party that I looked like I came right from the pages of GQ. I got a subscription to GQ and I like to see what the male models are weaing and I just get ideas from that and add my own touch. For going to class/shopping, i'll just throw on a nice polo or t-shirt and some nice faded jeans or cargo shorts with some sneakers. Right now i'm liking my D&G t-shirts, Lacoste retro fit and Ralph Lauren polos, and Lucky brand, True Religion and 7 for All Mankind jeans... I used to be all about Abercrombie & Fitch because it fit me the best and that clothing is easy to match stuff with but now that I see it everywhere, i'm trying to get away from it..

Seriously, i've no idea what some of those marketing campaigns are all about ... so, what in GQ did you look like when you received this comment? Answer: Style? People still have deliberate styles?! Oh, alright, I'm just feeling stroppy over having seen more manpris today than any human should be forced to tolerate. Also those pants that swallow the feet, and are worn with high heels. It just seems that most people forget that a style that is more memorable than your personality isn't doing you a favour. <Falls into a surly brown study> Oh, right, style. I haven't got a deliberate style, and I don't try to look unusual, or stand out. If I try to look ordinary, though, it tends to look off-kilter. If I wear "unusual"--i.e. I got it 11 years ago, and thus it hasn't been seen in the shops for half a decade--clothing (e.g. pointed granny boots, skirt that is completely bisected by zips back and front, bowler, black ribbed pullover) I actually manage to fairly normal. Apart from what I've had installed, the only piece of jewellery I wear almost constantly is a heavy, modern-minimalist mjølner on a leather cord. I usually wear gloves, because I get bored with of reapplying sunblock. If I wear makeup, you either can't tell, or it looks like I slept in it, and I'm so pale that I practically glow in the dark. Yes, I like it like that I've had people ask me how I get my "look", which inevitably freaks me out, since this always happens when I've managed to convince myself that I "pass", and have achieved anonymity. Once someone wanted to buy a pair of jeans I was wearing, which I thought was hilarious. They were utterly crapped about with paint and plaster, because I wore them to help a friend refinish someones's home. Answer: Quote: Originally Posted by CoTHukoB Hehe, this is easy.

I really don't know, lol I guess they just meant I was dressed nicely. Like, if they were flipping through the pages of GQ, I could have been one of the models in the ad's or something.

Like, if they were flipping through the pages of GQ, I could have been one of the models in the ad's or something. Ah. That's cool ... always nice to get a compliment, it's like a little pick-me-up, isn't it? I guess i should clarify what i meant. For example, got the British GQ by any chance? Page 43, DIESEL. I'm so confused. What the hell am i supposed to think? What IS this? I love the colors on the parrots though. -------------------------------------- Quote: Originally Posted by aubrgene I associate fragrance lovers as confident individuals with a strong sense of style. How would you describe your style? Marilyn Manson meets Mad Max meets Mini-Me meets Mega-Me. Figure that one out. Answer: I'm described as a casual dresser with a chic streak. At work I always wear jeans. On the odd occasion I will dress trendy and in the latest younger styles -- luckily I wear clothes very well and can buy off the rack, often without trying them on. My fashion motto: - I wear styles and colours that suits me - I wear clothes that are comfortable - I prefer boots, sandals and flipflops, but don't own many pairs of regular shoes - I am not a slave to fashion and I prefer classics - I will not spend more than $x on a single article of clothing (in other words, I shop discount and prefer deep clearance sales, will NOT pay retail) - I prefer quality over quantity, although I've been known to purchase in quantity (I have over 25 pairs of denims in my closet, all of them actively worn, dozens of t-shirts and many plain cashmere sweaters) Lately I prefer to spend moolah on perfume Copyright ? 2006 - 2007 www.thankhealth.com Privacy Policy
