What is your fashion style like?

Depends on the day. If I'm in class, jeans and polos. If I'm going out, short skirts are my favorite!

Lindsay, 21

Frumpy. Birkenstocks and socks, jeans and pull-over shirts mostly.  Or Birkenstocks and tights with straight dresses.  My niece is horrified that I wear sandals and socks. Her mother (my sister) has given up on me and my fashion choices. She now buys funky socks that I can wear with my Birkenstocks.

I guess my lame fashion sense is a result of my mother always buying my sister pretty clothes with lace and frills. My other sister and I always seemed to get practical clothes.

When I have to, which is much more often than I like, I wear business casual when I visit clients.

Very basic. Jeans, bahas, black work boots, denim jackets.

If it is possible I would say a sporty, casual, elegance with a very slight hip NYC chic and backwoods country folk to it. Which basically means I wear comfortable clothes, perferably in natural fibers, dark colors, and no labels. I pay absolutely no attention to my hairstyle or makeup presentation most of the time

Since moving here, I've adopted Pacific Northwest Casual. Oregonians think they are overdressed if the men wear a suit and the women a dress and heels when dining at a good restaurant. And unless you are dealing with the public, business casual here is pretty casual, about what is worn on Casual Days in the East.

Random. One day I'll wear a tie-dye dress; the next baggy jeans, a T-shirt, and a cowboy hat; the next faux snakeskin pants and a tight little shirt. . .on my feet I might have Dr Martens, Airwalks, Adidas, dress shoes, or 3-dollar slippers. . .

Casual, fun, and warm

Whatever's comfy but not horrible. Period.

Distracted, but thrifty housefrau.

What do you think when I say 'poetry grad student'? Yeah, like that.

Unfortunately, it's trendy. I try to keep up with all the latest stuff, not because I want to blend in with everyone else, but because I like the clothing and I think it fits my personality well. I hate the fact that I blend in sometimes, but if I didn't dress the way I do, I wouldn't be me.

Mostly gothic diva stuff, I suppose. Lots of black, flowy skirts, silver jewelry, that sort of thing. When I go out, I usually wear rhinestones or bindis on my face, along with some glitter. There are pictures on my website, of course ;)

I have no fashion style. I wear what is comfortable.

Kevin, 32

Nothing ordinary.

Jami, 27

Casual, Comfy and a little Hippy. It all depends what mood I'm in really.

Nikki, 27

Casual. Blue jeans are the best.

My sychopantic work style is late neandrathal, my "other" style is a slacker style. Like who cares what people think I look like. I only look decent @ work because that's how you play the game.
