What’s Your Style?

A few days ago I was thinking about my personal style and I wondered if it had a name. I thought that maybe I’m transitional but after I looked it up and found a few photos, I don’t think so. So far all the pictures look too elegant and I’m only really elegant when I’m wearing a little black dress and heels. Other than that I’m a klutz that likes to be comfortable.  I also figure that since Halle and I have started running a fever today, it’s a good time to fill you up with quizzes…you know, so you won’t notice that I’m not writing that much. Drat! I’ve given my secret away.

It must be the fever.

The first quiz I took I found at BHG. I liked it the most even though I had trouble answering the first question:

QUESTION 1 :

Which flower arrangement would look best on your coffee table?

Rose
Hydrangea
Red Tulips

I don’t just like flowers, I love flowers and I especially love all of these flowers. I love all of the arrangements and picked tulips because I guess I was loving the pop of red just a bit more than the others. I’d put the hydrangeas in the bedroom and the roses in the kitchen.

My result was…drumroll…..

Polished Casual

You love to mix and match your favorites from several styles, so Polished Casual is the best way to describe your look. Crisp, fresh, and always comfortable, this approach anchors itself in neutral, subtle hues and furniture that isn’t fussy but isn’t slouchy either. Pair your clean-lined sofa with a dark leather wing chair or a weathered metal table—anything goes, but simplicity is key.
I think they got it right. “They” being a computer program. You can take the quiz here.
I took a few other quizzes, all in the interest of blog research, of course, and the next result is a hoot. It’s from HGTV and you can take it here. My result?

HGTV- Your style is Asian Zen

Clean, natural and serene with pops of red. Perfect for creating a peaceful atmosphere. Asian and Feng Shui work in my home.

If you’ve ever been to my house you’d know this couldn’t be farther off. Most of my house is blue and although I like red, I don’t know the first thing about Feng Shui. Although the clean, natural and serene sounds nice.

Lastly, I went to Ethan Allen (quiz here):

my signature lifestyle is

elegance

We’ve analyzed your selections – your Signature Lifestyle is Elegance. Elegance is the essence of timeless sophistication. A seamless composition of quintessentially classic design elements, reinterpreted through streamlined scale and shape. Luxurious yet beautifully livable. A cosmopolitan mix of clean woods paired with chic, enduring fabrics.

Ummm, I don’t think so. I mean, that hat, yikes!

It’s all in good fun and to be completely truthful, I took two more (!) quizzes and then my brain felt all mushy, I didn’t care what my style was and I wanted to live in a tent for a while.

Totally kidding about that tent thing…it’s cold outside.

Have fun and let me know your results in the comments.

  1. I’ve got the cold funk today, so I was happy to take on your quizzes. Perfect way to distract myself while kids did a little school.
    My results were Polished Casual, Spanish Inspired & Elegance. I agree with the first 2/3 of the results. Haha! But, maybe I should feel good that at least I have an eye for elegance, even if it’s not translated into my life.
    Hope you girls feel better soon.

  2. Hey Kara, Thanks for stopping by. So sorry you’re not feeling well :( I guess it’s just that time of year. Glad I could offer a little distraction. I hope you feel better soon.

  3. I tried but couldn’t figure out how to take the quiz. I’m probably casual neanderthal. I only say that because I’m trying to talk your mother into buying property with a cave that we can live in.

    • Believe it or not I could actually see all of those at your house. The mod coffee table, the re-worked antique buffet and all your little bird friends.

      BTW, one of my friends asked me whose ashes I was keeping in that vase I bought that’s like yours. She thought it was an urn, lol. I love it…I may not have picked it originally but I like to break out of my “Amy box” now and then.
