Comfy for sure, I only dress up for special occasions, but I am the same as you do my hair/makeup all cute and rock it with jeans and a t-shirt :)
Comfy, comfy, comfy! I like to be in my own personal style, regardless of the mainstream style.
Comfy most of the time. Plus it gets so darn hot here that I can't really imagine trying to look too pretty in the middle of summer because I will just sweat through my clothes.
I like the look of fashionable, but I'll usually go for comfortable... I guess a good balance between both is my real goal. ;)
i try to go for something in between... if i am lucky that is. but if i had to pick one of the other it would be comfort!
Comfy! My go to shoes are my tennis shoes, cowboy boots, or flip-flops! And I always wear jeans and a t or tank. Normally a sweatshirt over! very minimal makeup too, powder, blush, mascara, and my hair is either in a pony or bun, or I will sometimes just blow it straight.
I don't think that fashionable has to be uncomfortable. I like to look cute and put together, but I'm not wearing anything I can't be in all day.
Today I have on a short khaki skirt with a printed t-shirt & a long thin cardigan. Paired it with leather strappy sandals. It's casual, but professional enough to wear to work, trendy but not uncomfortable. That's me. This is my style.
@ egb - I see your point on liking the 'look' of fashionable, but even though it looks good, the main thought running through my head is "HOW does she WALK in those?! Man, I bet she gets HORRIBLE blisters and has twisted her ankle more than once."
:P
Somewhere in between. My style is definitely more casual than super fashion forward - I tend to wear heels only five or so times a month, the rest of the time I'm in ballet flats, boots, or sandals. And I wear jeans and skirts more than dresses, etc.
But I have never been okay with going out in sweatpants, etc. I've worn a sweatshirt maybe twice in the past year? I think whether or not my style is casual just depends on what part of the country you live in. In my neighborhood, that's definitely the casual end of the spectrum. People here tend to dress up a lot, have designer clothes, etc.
usually, I go for fashion, but sometimes no matter how cute you'd like to look, some situations call for comfort...so I'd say I go for fashionably comfortable..is that a word? lol...
I consider my style more fashionable, but comfortable as well. I stick to classic shapes and wear a lot of neutrals, so that I always look pulled together.
I'm all about comfort, all the time. If I'm uncomfortable I'm not having a good time. FI however wishes I wore more skirts, heels, etc. He is totally cool with the way I am... but we have a running joke, whenever he something "hot" but totally uncomfortable he always picks it up and says "Hey... check this out! Looks super comfy right?! Lets pack it up!" heh
That's awesome you and FI are on the same page!
I USED to love getting dressed up.... and shoes! Oh, the love of shoes.
Now in my mid 30-s - It HURTS to walk in stillettos for an extended period of time.
And, the expensese of home ownership have sucked away my clothes/shoes fund.... so, I've turned WAY more casual than I used to be.
I still LOVE getting dressed up for a special occassion, though. :)
In the winter, I'm all about comfort. I just could care less for the most part. In the spring, summer and fall, though, I LOVE getting dressed up in cute sundresses and outfits.
I go for both. If I feel like going to the t-shirt, jeans, and sneaker look it will be done so in a fashionable way. If I want to dress up, it will be fierce. I even match and make sure my clothes are not wrinkle when I go work out.
I like to think I always look fashionable... but I am definitely not trendy. My sense of style is definitely more classic & I buy a few key pieces to keep me looking good! Eg. Great jeans, nice heels, beautiful coats, tailored shirts, jackets & skirts, etc.
PS. I can totally run in 4 inch heels and not look like a spaz!
@okqueen: If you wear in a new pair of shoes-- you'll never get blisters! I've rarely ever had blisters from my shoes & once you get used to walking in them, like I said, you could run in them! :) My greatest threat is really grates. I've had my heel stuck in a few while walking down the street.
Comfort, definitely. I have a lot of trouble finding shoes that are comfortable if I'm walking more than across the office (even flats!) and thus wear sneakers almost anywhere. I'd prefer not to look like a slob, but given my priority on comfort and getting out the door as quickly as possible, it's really not that huge a preference. My mentality is that if my feet hurt it's my problem, but if someone doesn't like my outfit, it's theirs.
Both! I try to buy clothes and shoes that are comfy but still fashionable. My favorite shoes in the summer are cute little ballet flats and in the winter they're funky boots. Comfy but trendy. And same goes with clothes. You'll never catch me out in a business suit and stilettos, but you'll also never catch me out in a sweatsuit and Crocs.
Oh, and I have to say that one of my biggest pet peeves is when women insist on wearing impractical footwear. Going to a cocktail party? Fine, wear strappy stiletto sandals. Going to the airport? Please don't make me stand behind you while you teeter through the ticket line and then unbuckle every friggin' strap before going through security.
There is a good medium between stilettos and sweat pants. I wear that! I can't leave the house wearing anything loungy. Even in college, i just couldn't do it. Dresses are even more comfortable than sweats, to be honest. Right now i'm wearing a cropped cardigan, a cotton solid above-the-knee(not too short) dress, flat tstrap sandals and a chunky bracelet. Work appropriate and more comfortable than my PJs.
It totally depends on what I'm doing that day. But my staple outfit is a cute t-shirt, jeans and stilettos. The shoes aren't comfy, but I love them. And they dress up an outfit without having to try too hard. My FI's family always says I can, "dress my ass off" but I just wear what I like!
melissabegins: I'm with you.. like I said above.. fashionable doesn't have to be uncomfortable. I have a few summer dresses that are so lightweight, and so comfy, I could wear them to bed! I get annoyed with a lot of bedtime wear anyways.. I don't like to get strangled by my clothes when I sleep! :) hehe.
I'm for comfy about 65% of the time. I love to dress up as much as I can!

Me = NOT a fashionista.
The thought of walking around in stilettos and a dress for the 'fun' of it makes me cringe.
I'm very girlie in other ways like makeup, hair & stuff but with clothing, comfort comes WAY above all else. I'm so so happy in jeans and a t-shirt or tank top.
Luckily my husband is very casual as well, so he doesn't expect me to dress up at all. In fact, we were talking the other day (after I had seen some girls walking around in dresses earlier in the day) and I asked him "Do you wish I wore dresses or dressed more girlie?" and he said "No, I don't like dresses." Which really surprised me, so I asked why and he said because they look uncomfortable & awkward, especially on a windy day LOL.
I felt better after that ;)
