    For business very conservative but with a lot of colour. So classic cuts but bold accents usually and of course funky shoes.

    On my off time it tends to be what I feel like at the time. I may choose a tailored look or bohemian depending on my mood or where I am going. Or it could be yoga pants and a tee.

    Honestly, It depends on where I am going, if I am working or going out to hang with friends. If I am working, I am very dressy/professional. I usually wear a nice dress or skirt, something that looks very classy, but that I can move around in, as I am on my feet all day, moving furniture and unpacking accessories and cleaning. Most of our clients are high end though, so it is important I always look my best.

    If I am going to play a game with friends, I will usually wear a comfortable skirt, or on a rare occasion, yoga pants. Usually a skirt though. Lately, I have been wearing jeans when I go out, because I have lost about 6 pounds, and my jeans are fitting a lot better than they were.

    So how would i describe my style? Maybe preppy alternative? Yeah. Preppy alternative.

    I like fashion and I am usually on top of current trends. I'm also really uncomfortable with the idea of buying clothes made in sweatshops so 99% of my wardrobe comes from thrift shops, so while I dress somewhat trendy I have to get creative about it.

    so I guess somewhat artsy/creative, thrift store trendy chic? Haha I really have no idea how to define it. I also dress to suit my mood so some days I totally bum it and sometimes I prefer a more tailored look.

    I dress like a dirty hippy meets eccentric old cat lady, but wit a lot of 50s and 90s inspired pieces. So that means lots of loose flowy things in psychedelic patterns, with lots of bright colours and crazy patterned scarves (when it's not too hot). I like to wear big weird jewellery too sometimes. My favourite piece is a necklace which has a bunch of large wood carved african animlas hanging on it.

    I shop in thrift stores, garage sales and outdoor markets a lot, but like to look for newer pieces in boutique style shops mostly, since it's easier to find natural fibers in places like that and its less likely other people will have the same thing. I do buy basics like tank tops and tights at chain stores though, plus the occasional thing that catches my eye at the mall.

    Also, I don't always wear makeup, but when I do its a lot of it. Like not caked on face makeup or anything, but lots of bright colours. I don't see the point in doing makeup if no one is going to notice. That means either lots of bright eyeshadow, or some crazy coloured lipstick (I have lipsticks in every colour of the rainbow).

    I like variety, so my closet has a little bit of everything in it, for all kinds of situations and moods. Instead of buying the latest fashions, I tend to be just the opposite. If I hear that something I really like is going out of style, I'll rush out and buy two extras before it's too late. By the time I wear out three copies of something, it's usually back in style again.

    One old habit from college is something that I still do sometimes, and it sort of became a trademark / signature thing for me, for a while. On Friday night, instead of changing before a party, I would just take a more serious looking outfit and slut it up a little bit; unfastening a button or two, losing the bra, etc. Guys responded very positively to that. My hubby still likes it when I do that in the evening and we go out for dinner and drinks. I think the image says "I'm in the business world but I'm not a stiff or formal person on my own time."

    I don't really care about fashion too much but of course I like to look nice.

    In the winter I mostly wear jeans with sweaters and walking shoes but if I want to get dressy I will wear a nice top, cardigan and boots.

    Summertime I like knee length shorts, my walking shoes and cute tees but wear lots of dresses too. I can not get enough of fit and flare dresses with pockets and cute prints.

    I'm always saying that I wish I could hire someone to teach me how to dress. I think I'm passable and neat, both professionally and personally, but I can't see clothes on the rack and put them together to form an outfit! I feel like my clothes are a hodgepodge of random pieces that I happen to like. I am always seeing others and saying: "Wow, how did they know all of that would look good together?" Frustrating. I like the thought of the boho look.

    People should post pictures of themselves in an outfit that they feel is very "them."

    My day-to-day around the farm is shorts and a T-shirt. I have 'farm clothes' and 'town clothes'. Town clothes are bohemian. I love repurposing old lace and silks that you can find in thrift stores into long skirts or scarves.

    Just today I was thinking that I'd start wearing my town clothes all the time. I love the way they make me feel and what the hell am I saving them for anyway? I'm sure the chickens will be very impressed with my new style around the farm.

    My style is Irminsul. :)

    I don't have a style, I'm so erratic most of the time. What influences me one day is cometely opposite of what influenced me the day before and tomorrow.

    I guess I dress to what I'm going to be doing.

    Metal gig? Black black black.
    On the town might be black black black. Could also be a lot of color too.
    At work I wear my dirndl mostly, but it's a job description. I don't horse ride with it. I wear a lot of tight stuff horse riding.
    Then there's my lounging about like a slob wear.:.

    All just too inconsistent and inconclusive to labelled.

    Irminsul. :)

    I wear bell bottom jeans most of the time. My favorite old ragged ones for when I am hanging out and the newer ones for work or social occasions. Always sandals in the summer and boots in the winter. Peasant blouses in the summer and sweaters, turtlenecks sometimes, in the winter. I usually wear necklaces, bracelets and earrings. I have a large collection of different style peace symbol earrings in gold silver, turquoise, etc., that I like to wear. My style is casual and comfortable.

    Modern I think. I usually follow trends and very often buy something new.

    Style completely depends on the occasion! But I prefer traditional over western any time!
