My style has changed since the last time I responded. I am more open to fashion trends (to an extent)

Because I am from a cold climate, I am kind of limited. However, I can dress fashionably even in a cold climate. My staples have to be chic yet warm. Outercoat, boots even my hat and scarf ( I stick to leather gloves)

I still like to wear sunglasses well into the winter months (snow makes everything brighter)

So my typical style is classic pieces (real preppy inspired classic pieces)
button down shirts
knee boots
3 inch max heel
sweaters (especially sweater coats)
skirts (at the knee)
ballet flats
structered or fun bag (I can go wild with handbags)
bangles
Light makeup (pink on pink)
flat ironed hair
^ and thats for work

Play:

blouses
Jeans
Bangles and other accessories
slouchy big bags
headbands and curls
hoop earrings
no makeup (maybe foundation, mascara, lipgloss and concealer)
flat boots or ballet slippers

I never thought I had a style but I guess I do. I would love some dark jean trouser pant without spandex. I cannot stand spandex in my jeans. Straight leg pant/jean. I tend to gravitate more towards peasant tops, tunics, flowy, girly tops. I like simple no fuss dressing. A crisp shirt inside pants does me well. Nice top, pant, heels and a kickin bag. Oh, I do not like paying a lot for clothes. I like quality, not cheaply made clothes. I love shoes and bags.

I make my own jewelry with big bold stones in silver.

I'm very traditional- twin sets, plaid, boiled wool jackets and grey flannel slacks with navy cashmere sweaters type. I like designer things that don't scream designer.

My signature style is what my friends call "hippie goes golfing" LOL
I'm totally a product of my bizarre parents: My dad is a yoga practicing headband & beads, flare jeans wearing hippie and my mother is very pretty, classic and looks like she is always ready to go golfing or hang out with coco channel.
I normally wear very wide leg flare jeans or palazzo style trousers paired with argyle or cable knit sweaters. I keep my jewelry & makeup simple. Most of emphasis is my handbags sometimes I sway toward hippie and sometimes classic. It all depends on my mood.

I'm middle of the road. Not wet coast, not east coast. I'm really loving styles a la Mad Men right now- portrait collars, pencil skirts, tweed, peep toes, lady-like satchels and bags. I post fashion adventures (or misadventures, sometimes) on my blog almost daily.

Oh, and I have a bad addiction to Nanette Lepore. Husband has spent lots of time getting to know the cream-colored round chair in the NL store in Vegas.

ive been told i dress very nyc, if you can think about stereotypes thats me. im trying tobreak away from all the black though! i prefer interesting lines and design rather than patterns. my style is girly in the summer and urban in the winter... i love streetwear, unfortunaltly only in small does, ima blondhaired greeneyed baby faced gal mistaken for german or nordic whereever i go in the world. though if i could get away with wearing hightops skinnies and a patterned hoddie i totally would!

My signature style is:

-always with Chanel
-a mini dress
-high heels
-if I'm wearing jeans, usually with a crisp white blouse.

I love to dress up but since I live in OC the style is very laid-back here. I love to doll up in leather boots, long winter coats, tights, etc.

I am always in heels! Mainly Ferragamo's...they are my passion. I love Ferragamo hair accessories too! I love dressing up even if it's just for going out to the grocery store! I like to look my best always, just a personal preference.

I love anything girly...especially RIBBONS! I'm usually wearing a skirt or dress. I don't wear pants often, unless they're jeans. Can't live without my jeans! I've tried several jeans...but AG "the Angel" jeans seem to fit me best.

I don't wear anything funky, but believe me...I think some of them look HOT! I don't think it would suit me. *sigh* Oh well...

I like to get clothing that has a more classic look so I can wear them longer. I always have nice shoes and a handbag to add that finishing touch to my outfits.

AG Jeans are so underrated! They are my favorite. I can't live without "the Nicole" jeans. Their fit, quality, and price point are perfect.

I am extremely picky about jeans. I love straight-leg jeans that aren't too tight but aren't very baggy. I'm tall, so I usually don't wear heels, but I love black ballet flats and menswear-type booties. I'm starting to wear tights with skirts and dresses more often, and right now I'm liking knitted or crocheted tights with interesting patterns.

For tops this season, I like wearing oversized stuff, nothing too tight. Cable knit sweaters are great. My favorite colors to wear are black, green, camel, and plum. They go best with my reddish-blonde hair. I also wear blazers for debate, and sometimes to school with a tee to make an interesting contrast.

I also love hats! I'll probably be wearing a black knitted beret a lot this winter. I don't like to be bothered with a lot of accessories unless it's a special occasion. Sometimes I'll wear a black/gold Movado watch, or pearl earrings. Not a lot of jewelry though.

Overall I'd say my style is pretty relaxed and classic for the most part, especially for being a teenager.

I love things that are more french/ ladylike inspired. very blair waldorf. but i also have a more preppy side that sort of interwines like kate middleton (prince williams gf).

i like j.crew, nanette lepore, ralph lauren, milly, and some girly marc by marc pieces

Hmm I love hoodies a lot. I wear tank tops with hoodies most of the time. I love long sleeve shirts too, like abercrombie and ones from cheap stores ( urban behaviour or stitches, I have no idea if anyone knows what that is), My fave sweater has to be my baby phat one or my BENCH. one. And jeans but I'll throw lulu lemon sweats in there sometimes. I hate skirts and shorts, i just think i look really small in them and young (my height is 4'11 lol), and i live in the north so its freezing now. I wear uggs sometimes but i mostly stick to my skater shoes. If anyone ever has an interest in buying skater shoes get globes!!

I sport three distinct styles (though most of my pieces are black), depending on my mood and how much time I have in the morning!

a) Classic. Little black dresses (casual and more formal), pencil skirts, silk tops, etc. with heels or boots. Parisian chic, if you will, mixed with Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O.

b) Student. Jeans (Joe's, J Brand) and whatever shirt is on top of the pile, scarves, flats and boots.

c) Edgy, à la Kate Moss.

The three occur in about equal parts.
