Whats your style?

Posted: Tue, Jul 03 2007, 4:20 am Post subject: Whats your style?

Whats your style, in general? Are you into the more classic look? Or the latest fashion? Or something else?

Do you have differnet styles for different things?

In terms of dress, I'm very into the classic/conservative style.

Jewelry I'm very ANTI classic- I like things different, but dainty. (I told my husband- in a nice way of course- that if he gave me the classic diamond ring when we got engaged, I would never wear it.)

In terms of house decor, I'm very much into the retro, modern, funky clunky look. (Didn't decorate my house that way because I bought cheap used things, but if I had the money to decorate my house as I could, I would definitely do the more retro style...)

How about you?

LOL, I'm EXACTLY the same.

I dress kinda classic/preppy/conservative. I'm not at all into trendy dress and anyway I hate shopping and would have no patience to keep up with the styles.

At the same time, I love funky, handmade, flea market type jewlery. Though I do have a classis diamond ring (passed down through a few generations of DH's family) and I absoluetly love it.

One day, if and when we have the money to decorate our house it will be pretty bare and modern (cause I don't have patience to dust tchachkies all day), but with lots of fun, colorful, funky art and sculptures. How this look will blend with a wall full of seforim (which is soooo traditional) I'm not sure!

In terms of dress, I usually dress pretty trendy.

Jewlery, most days I wear a gold choker, gold earings (hanging), and most of my rings are yellow gold, some are white gold.
Sometimes I'll wear a Michal Negrin style piece of jewlery.

Home decorating - Both DH and I are very into the Modern look. We bought most of our stuff at IKEA.
Very colorful!
Very Geometrical!
Not really into the antique, old fashoned look.

Breslov - my engagement ring is also similar to the top one. It's two strands, one matt gold, and the other shiny gold.
(My MIL chose it, she had the exact same one).

Would you have picked it out yourself, or is it not so much your taste?

Intersesting thread breslov.

As for dressing, I'm a cross betwwen trendy & classic, usually casual.

Jewelry, I wear small peices only, very into traditional classic styles & modern art.

In terms of home, I have very eclectic taste.

How do you post the pics?

Anyway I am hippieish. I love patchwork skirts. If I could sew well enough I would make a patchwork tichel.

As for the house...I dislike retro and modern. I like traditional I guess. I don't like clutter. I like cozy and comfortable. A place where you can relax.

I dress mostly casual, I like to be comfortable. But there are times that I just have to get dressed in suits and straight skirts but its nice to, anyway thats mostly classic. I like to dress plain and simple but look nice. the house is basically like that too.

Casual but classic.

For clothes, classic but "young", or trendy. For jewelry, decoration.... classic but not "old".
