So, you...it's good to read what your style is, WWW. So, you also love scarves. I can totally get into the long skirts and used to wear them all the time when i was a hippie woman in California. I also used to wear very interesting earrings then, which I don't now. Your sweaters sound great and comfortable. Actually, you sound like the American version of me, so we are actually very much alike, except that I am more Europeanized now.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-35640566462921108372008-12-12T13:31:00.000-03:302008-12-12T13:31:00.000-03:30Nice topic, WWW.

I share one or two of your items (no nail varnish - hate, hate, hate the stuff); love long scarves, jeans.<BR/><BR/>I thought it'd be easy to describe my own style until I came to try it! <BR/><BR/>Hair has always been short, and at various stages of volume..lol! Bouffant reduced to bouncy, seldom completely flat, because it makes my nose look even bigger;-). <BR/><BR/>I wear makeup when going out, tend to leave it off at home these days, but never used to be without it. <BR/><BR/>Clothes fashion for me has changed radically since retirement. It used to be all high heels all the time, now it's flat and comfortable footwear.<BR/>Jeans used to be for rare occasions, on vacation, now they are everyday, essential items (not always blue though).<BR/><BR/>I love "good" stuff - my Mum used to say I have champagne taste and beer money! Occasionally I'll splurge on an excellent classic jacket and wear it for many years. More often now though I'll scour Goodwill and charity shops for basics, and balance my splurges.<BR/><BR/>Keywords for my personal style - classic, casual, but with a twist.<BR/>:-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-70207002713819697352008-12-12T10:49:00.000-03:302008-12-12T10:49:00.000-03:30I agree on the thong underwear, Debstar and I did ...I agree on the thong underwear, Debstar and I did love thongs for the feet until I Birked myself.<BR/>XO<BR/>WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-7507217635927503332008-12-12T09:42:00.000-03:302008-12-12T09:42:00.000-03:30Jeans, t-shirts, singlet tops, thongs for the feet...Jeans, t-shirts, singlet tops, thongs for the feet (notunderwear eeeww).
