Who's style have you modelled yourself on

[t-girlxsophie]

who in your life,has had biggest influence on your Girlie side,Wether by dress sense or attitude.

When i first started dressing,I started by wearing my aunts clothes when i stayed over at hers,And my mothers when at home.
When i was younger i wore clothes that GGs of my age wore e.g.like my aunt.well as much as i could which wasn't that often.

But my mothers style,at that time must have rubbed off on me,for now,in my mid forties i find myself wearing outfits of my mothers,that I tried on when younger,such as silky lingerie,angora knits,silk blouses and pretty dresses.Wouldn't EVER let her know that,would cause quite a stir :D

So,girls who do you take after,maybe its a family member or even a famous face.

[Brandi Wyne]

:daydreaming: Hmmm. Who indeed? Well, I must confess, dear old Mom played some role in my CD life even though she would cringe at the thought. But, after dressing and wearing a specific wig I realized how much my sister and I look alike. It was a bit unsettling at first but then I really latched on to that and I now use her name as mine.

[Bernadina]

Got to be my wife. Before she came along I was pretty much clueless.

[confusedlittlemonkey]

I think I would like to one day look like Hizaki or Kizaki, both of them are very pretty. Probably more Hizaki, but Jasmine Yu has some nice make-up the hair is crazy.

[Sherry-Stephanie]

For me no one...

But I have gone in my female direction with that I like as a female...and I suppose my "style" has come from all those females whom I've seen over time that have impressed....

So it's not one person in particular, rather it's all those out there that I have found pleasing to my eye...as well as to the styles they wear that I like....I've just let the girl within me come out and be whoever she wanted to be...Stephanie is her own person....

Hope this makes sense....

[sherri52]

Would have to be a cousin. When she lived above my grandmother, I used to sneak into her place and try on her clothes. I still like that type of clothing and it's 40 years later

[pushpa]

Well my mom's wardrobe played a great role in my teenagehood but I quickly had got my own stuff in order to try to look like Audrey Hepburn.
The general question while shopping : "Would Audrey Hepburn wear that dress ?"

[msniki48]

I love that genre!

Femininity was exactly that...it wasn't as blurred as it is today, but then again if it wasn't so blurred today...3/4 of us gurls would not be able to present in public as we do with such acceptance....[catch 22]

i just loved the full skirt the hour glass figure... the aprons and the frills.

yep i would love to be a fifties girl

I kind of play the hand I was dealt, and try to work with it!:D But, I try to notice girls that have similar features, and steal all I can from them! There is a local news anchor here, and I want her hair!!!:devil:

[kasha]

I've tried to stick with the professional yet still trendy look. My wife has had a huge influence on me as well. Which works out because she has the same look =)

[tinalynn]

I mostly wore my mom's clothes growing up because they fit. But otherwise, no role models. I wear what I think looks good on me, not what someone else is wearing just because they are wearing it.

[Kate Simmons]

My style is entirely my own Hon.:)

[sherryleigh]

I've tried to find my own style. I don't know if I have accomplished my goal but I like the style I have so far. Obviously I need some help with make-up but I do like my clothes and shoes I have. I think style is what you are comfortable with. I tend towards skirts and blouses rather than dresses it offers more choice in outfits, make-up and accessories at least IMO. My 2 cents! :)

No one woman in particular. Every woman in general.

[charlytuna]

I don,t followed onyone I just dress what I like and what I think will look good on me

[glynnis]

Not influenced by anyone really.My wife tells me I look a little ****tis when dressed with way too much makeup,but still back in the 60s style.:)

[Amanda Styles]

For me, I cannot point to anyone in particular, I have to agree with others it's a combination of how I see myself and many women I've borrowed a little bit from over many years.

[Wendrme]

I try to follow the rule that if Julie Andrews or Doris Day wouldn't wear that outfit or use that shade of lipstick, then neither will I. I have always found that I have been influenced by movie stars, the Grace Kelly and June Allyson and Deborah Kerr types. Picturing myself in the white strapless evening gown worn by Grace Kelly in To Catch A Thief is more than enough influence for any aspiring girl.

[windycissy]

Grace Kelly? Give me a break! Totally unattainable...I've always aspired to dress like the girls I found attractive when I was sowing my wild oats: preppy, natural and fun, best example is Dorothy Hammil, who wasn't blessed with great looks, she was very athletic and cute and her hairdo became iconic:

[AmandaM]

Atypical 30-ish professional women. With a dash of the secretary pool thrown in for effect.

[Kerigirl2009]

I try to look like most women when I dress. I want to be as passable as possible. However my look will change a bit if and when I do get to go out. for an average day I want to look average. For a night out I want to look like I am dressed to impress and have a good time.

[Jamz1b]

Mostly girlfriends, or girls I wish I could date. I am finding that the cuter and nicer there personality the more I want to be like them.

But for now, I tend to follow my xgirlfriends look, she always has something new and fun to show off.

[Diane Smith]

I have no particular models, but have a sort of idealized concept of what I think a woman should look like that I try to achieve as closely as possible. But it is a composite of many different influences (borrowing heavily from late '50s/early '60s icons like Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Jackie Kennedy).

For sure, there is no one in my family that I would particularly like to emulate. My mother and grandmother both owned some nice clothes in their time, but neither one looked close to what I want to be my own style.

[prene]

It started out my mother and sisters before I left the house.
They wear athletic/tall. Most all my family was big up to which natural to me.

Now I rotate from

I love the look/figure of Jeri Ryan - Seven of Nine

to busty

Karin Spolnikova - a Czech Republic model (myspace.com).

[Samantha_Smile]

I'd be lying if I said my mums boobs and body havnt affected my dress sense. She has huge ones, and so thats how I try to look, plus it balances out my rather large bum! :o
Nothing more feminine to me than a juicy cleavage.

The dress sense is definately a take on my mum's too.
Before I moved out, I'd always dress in her work clothes (shes a secretary), knee/lower thigh length skirts, satin blouses, tight low-neck line shirts, stockings and suspenders were, and still are my favourites.

As far as face and accessories go, thats all froom my fiance.
She has THE BEST earrings, bracelets and necklaces EVER! :daydreaming:
Try to do my make-up like hers too.

Although I would like to try to expand my taste, I think I would always just come back to the favourites in the end.

wendrme,

I love your thought process when it comes to being a lady!

[Karen Francis]

Lets see... I am 56 years old, so therefore I dress like an upscale upper middle class college educated female in her late 40's/early 50's who shops at Nordstroms or maybe Macy's, drives a Lexus or Cadillac CTS, conducts herself in a quiet assured manner, confident but not arrogant, who enjoys life and the interesting people in it...

[Bethany_Anne_Fae]

I guess the style, look and grace of the Victorian era woman ha sinspired me most. Followed by the later gothic, mysterious and witchy looking apparal of Stevie Nicks. There are others to be sure, but these were the most inspiring for me.

This is a very interesting question. I know Theresa has been a work in progress for me many years. She has been evolving over the years as my perception of feminity has been changing over the same time. Thirty years ago I would have said that my choice of presentation and clothing would be a composite of influences from my mother, as well as girlfriends and other women I admired or lusted after. Eight years ago I opened up to my wife and she helped me redefine myself as a more realistic woman, and I'm sure I modeled myself with strong influence from my wife look and preferences. In the last year I find myself setting out much more on my own, working to define my own styles, look, makeup preferences, etc. I think I am perhaps finally finding my own unique female identity. That's important to me, since like most of us I want to be unique.

While I still love skirts and classy or sexy clothes (my fav), I find that I'm now very comfortable on most evenings in just some old fem jeans and a comfy top or sweater. I usually throw on a little makeup but dont usually spend a lot of time getting all dolled up unless I'm going out for a night on the town or want to have a special evening at home. Even 2-3 years ago I would never have thought of wearing anything but dresses and skirts and making sure my makeup was complete and perfect as possible. Part of the reason might be that I'm living as Theresa almost every day now, while as recent as 2-3 years ago I dressed only 4-8 times a month. That may have a lot to do with my "dressing down" and desire for "comfort-fem" in recent years as well.

Guess my point is that for me this seems to be a definate change and acceptance of my self definition that I think is becoming less and less based on any particular female model, but on who I am comfortable with being. Geez, maybe I'm becoming the woman I'm modeling myself after? Wouldn't that be nice? :battingeyelashes: And kinda confusing!:eek:
