What's your signature style?

As I begin this 30-day challenge/adventure, here's what I'm hoping to get out of it...

Defining Personal Style

(1) I'm hoping to get clear on what works for me and what doesn't in the wardrobe I currently have.

(2) I'm hoping to get a clearer sense of personal and signature style. I already know from thinking about my "uniform" that I prefer long dresses and long skirts.




But I was inspired by the ladies in the Dressing Your Truth forum to clarify things even more, I took a bunch of "signature style" quizzes online to see what the results would have in common...

"Take a serious assessment of your overall current style, deciding if you are traditional, modern, fashion-forward, casual, hippie natural, etc."—About.com

(1) Hippie Natural



(2) Jane Austen/Regency

(no quiz here, just love the movie outfits)



(3) Modern Romantic

"Your home is where your heart is. And whether you're decorating or dressing, everything has to have a little extra touch of femininity." –Spiegel

(4) Girly Girl

"You embrace your femininity and celebrate your womanhood with the clothes and accessories you choose. Why would you deliberately dress like a man or like you just rolled out of bed? You enjoy a mix of comfort and style, and even if you're going to the grocery store in your sweats, you'll still have a feminine piece of jewelry or hair accessory on."–LifeScript

No pictures for these last two, but I quoted the parts that resonated with me. So I will try to support this style theme this month and see how it feels.

Today's Outfit...



I decided to kick off this challenge with a picture of myself! Most days, I will just show you a picture of the outfit, and then, at the end of the week, will probably show you a picture of me in my favorite outfit.

My "Thumbs-Up" Ratings: 1-10...
comfort ~ 9
wearability ~ 6
"love it" ~ 7
loves me back ~ 7

How I Felt In It...

I loved the feel of the skirt and am thinking it will become a favorite. The whole outfit was comfortable, except for the tank top, which I had not tried on before. It didn't fit as loosely as I would like and I kept pulling at it, which, ick!, is a dart to the self-esteem when you're overweight.

So, since I have nowhere to go today, I took the outfit off and put my loungewear on, and will probably exchange it.

Also, I am not sure about that particular blue with that skirt. A lighter one might be better?



Will It Make the Cut?...

The general silhouette will, and most of the outfit will, I think, because overall, I really liked it. The skirt is what I liked most, though, so I'm looking forward to trying different combinations with it to see how it goes.

What are you wearing and how do you feel about it?
