Style isn't the issue for me, so mine would fall under comfortable, but nice.

I don't think I've ever figured out what my style is...when I was single, I was too poor to buy new clothes, so always bought second-hand; when I got married, I started to buy nicer stuff, but then we end up giving almost everything away when we go to Cuba, even the shoes off our feet (I always bring a spare pair of cheap flip-flops...that's often all I have left to wear back home.)

So I don't have any style...whatever's on sale in my size and a colour I like!

But I do like to look nice...

Probably classic, conservative. That's why I still wear pieces from...10-15 years ago.

Just to give you an idea what I wore to work (in an office at a construction site) in past few days:

same old black chino casual pants too baggy in the bum (honest the lycra in pant has stretched abit) and different coloured turtlenecks each day...solid colours: dove light grey, next day: deep ultramarine blue and today: deep royal purple. Then wore a fitted fleecy jacket on top...building heating isn't perfect. Purple leather tie-up walking shoes that are bunged up from walking across rocky gravel and mud...every day. (Please I don't want to invest in steel-toe workboots for a 15 min. walk across construction mess.) Earrings: a pair of dangling, silvery arty triangles and last few days, a pair of tiny silvery leafy tree boughs.

Yea...fashion at work.

There are two style me's -- the one who sits at home most days working on jewelry or computer, and the one who actually goes out now and then. The first me is wearing sweats. The 2nd me has all sorts of bright funky stuff.

My wardrobe probably contains items in all categories except glam. Maybe I have some glam items, but I'd pair them with hand-painted Converse or something more arty.

I'm with Eagle and Meredith somewhat. The "two me's"! My home attire if I know I'll be hidden away can be quite scary. I'm also a person who loves the backyard and my gardens! I have my conservative clothes for work or business and I have some items that would make your jaw drop when I'm going out on the town!

Like most of you, I love to be comfy at home. I usually wear jeans and a pretty t-shirt.

When I go out, I like to look chic...but I pulled that off better when I was younger. I really don't like to stand out in a crowd, so I go more the conservative style.

About half an hour ride from us is a Spa City. I don’t know if they have anything like that in the States. There are hundreds of luxurious hotels with gigantic bathing facilities. Wellness, cafés, and flowers islands, are seen everywhere. Outside, concerts take place and a wide pedestrian area is there for people to flaunt their stuff. You don’t see jeans here. Beautiful boutiques with unusual and classy clothes are lined up along the boulevard. You can find the best quality and one of a kind items. The prices?…Well that’s another story, but I have learned quality does pay off.

Here’s a link if anyone is interested: They even have virtual tours. SPA CITY

There are two me's, too. But everyday dress and go-in-public dress are both sporty, because I like to be comfortable. I was raised on a farm; I don't know how to be glamorous. Cows and horses don't give a rat's butt what you look like.

There are those who say they don't care about their clothing. This can make those of us who do feel badly, like we are focused on ourselves instead of on the art of dressing. Everyone cares about dressing. It may be the color of their sweat shirt, or the clothes they wear when working out. They DO care if their clothing is comfortable sometimes or if it fits. They care about color, fit, and sometimes where it is made.

No matter who tells you that they don't care about such things, look at them and what they wear, they won't have picked any old thing out of goodwill! They will not be wearing their husband's or neighbors big ol baggy pants! They will be wearing a color they like, or matching things or even a sweat suit of the same color!

It is too long a cop-out that women use to say they don't care about fashion, they do. If not, they would let their hair grown down as long as it can and never trim it, wear any clothing they find, and in any color they find it in! They would never shave their legs or anywhere,and their faces would have mustashes or beards and their skin would be dirty.

They do care, ladies. Don't feel badly about yourself if you choose to put your best look forward, it makes the world beautiful and colors your personality it's own shade.

Never feel guilty about caring about how you look and about your body!

You should be able to pick two styles...
