    So I typed two of my style words “tomboy” and “elegant” into Pinterest as per your suggestion, worrying that I might not find any outfits for the combination. Instead I have found a new style phrase that perfectly describes a significant part of my style - “tomboy femme”! Thank you- this is so helpful

    I'll never understand YT and what took your channel so long to show up in my feed. Love this! You provide real-world, accessible examples for those of us on a budget. High/Low is everywhere in magazines and runways, but to pull it off is an art. Throwing together the wrong top with any pair of jeans can easily look like a Walmart shopper at 4 am and not high-end chic. Sequins don't automatically translate to "High/Low" as we know.😆Just subscribed and looking forward to your content!

    My style inspiration is 1920s classic tailored. Specifically the Katherine Hepburn look which is classic and timeless. She never got it wrong, and my favorite juxtaposition is thin socks and sandals with a one or two inch heel with a day dress, or wide trousers. I wear the trainers with wide trousers as well. Thank you for this video 💖👏

    Thank you so much for these great ideas! I especially like to contrast jeans with a structured blazer, or a feminine dress with a jean jacket (traditional blue, white, or colored denim). After spending 15 years in very casual offices, I feel in a bit of a jeans + tee rut. Thanks for sparking some more creative thinking!

    I love combining more masculine or 'rough' looking jeans (like in a faded shade of black or grey, or with wider legs that don't show off your curves so much) with a feminine top, like something made from silk, or with dots and frills, for example. I guess that's a combination of both high/low and feminine/masculine! I find it really hard to style skirts though, so the bottoms are usually masculine whereas most examples online are the other way around i think.

    • @teresacarle294

      Big fan of Tomboy Femme. ⚖️Balancing boyish👦 w/a girl next door👧 &/or womanly👩‍🦳 sensibility. Think Ali McGraw from 🎬Love Story as inspiration. 🧣She mixed Harvard boyfriend gear as well as blue collar pieces like a waffle LS undershirt from her humble background w/classic Sarah Lawrence Ivy League prep school pieces.
      ☂️Under the umbrella of Tomboy you'll find: casual, working class overtones, slightly slouchy, sporty, preppy, utility, edgy, & combat. Something like an oversized classic button-up, a graphic tee, or an A-Shirt (sleeveless finely ribbed, thin fabric u-necked white undershirt that comes in multi-packs since 1940s) merged w/a simple cashmere cardi of twinset fame.
      ☂️The latter Femme for me generally leans classic, simple elegance, minimal, tonal, &
      🤏slightly glamour. It largely has to do w/my collection of corporate skirts, some separated from suit sets or office co-ord sets. Also my more modern straight, solid maxi skirts.
      Blazers & Leather Jackets have a short shelf life here. They can only be worn strictly below 70s ⬇️ outside or in buildings where the
      A/C blasts🥶. Instead my selection of toppers incl.: gilets or waistcoats; button ups, shirt dresses, or center button dresses that can all be used as a light "shacket"; & a pair of feather lightweight midi wrap style trench coats (in black & navy). The last items can be worn year round w/EXTRA layering in cooler temps (i.e., 60s & below ⬇️).
      Skirts are my mainstay in 😎LA once it heats up🌡. Hate wearing jeans & denim jackets at all (too stiff & structured). Love a pleated trouser, a cigarette pant, or palazzo pant. Once it hits 80s, I strictly stick w/a tea length crop trouser (between bottom of calf & ankle).
      Skirts feel like a somewhat more formal alternative to the denim shorts that I only wear in my house🏡 or for hiking about my 🏘neighborhood. Pairing them w/Tomboy flare takes the formality & fussiness away. The combo makes them much more polished casual.
      🤠Do have a few tiered maxi fit & flare skirts for boot scooting👢 as well as 🎶country concerts. Also a couple of floral skirts (an a-line midi & a straight tea length). These skirts don't get nearly as much play. Prefer plaid, pinstripes, polka dots, abstracts, animal prints, as well as solid, tonal colors.
      Ideas for Tomboy Femme:
      ¹Gray hoodie & ribbed tank under a cropped maroon Chanel style jacket & matching pencil skirt w/gray slip-on sneakers.
      ²Burgandy blazer matching pencil skirt, tights & combat boots w/a slouchy pastel pink LS Henley w/a strand of pearls.
      ³A black crew neck tee, purple & black bandana, purple pencil skirt, & slim black slip-on sneakers.
      ⁴White & hot pink buffalo check button up, cuffed ¾ sleeves open over a white tank tucked into a hot pink pencil skirt w/white platform sneakers.
      ⁵Black baseball cap, black halter neck style top tucked in a white a-line skirt w/a black plaid pattern & black loafers.
      ⁶Cropped navy blazer, SS black polo or tank top, matching maxi navy pleated skirt, & black Converse hightops.
      😊Hope this gives you some ideas. Still recovering from a broken leg & sprained ankle, so I'm limited to sturdy flats at present.
      💚Bridget from Cali☘️

    I love your approach as it encourages self-reflection into personal style. I found the pinterest style words search incredibly helpful, as I didn't know my personal style had a 'name'. Now I can tailor my outfit inspo searches, such a time saver! You put into words what I already love to incorporate (e.g. juxtaposition) but didn't know how to verbalize. It all just makes so much sense and is confidence-boosting ❤

    I giggled when i said out loud, "bohemian chic."
    I like paring long floral skirts with a chic blouse and chain belt to mute the potential of my outfit being fully boho.
    Once you stated thinking abiut your style and juxtaposition it just clicked for me.

    You may not find it online because it's original. If the proportions are flattering, and the wearer feels comfortable both physically and mentally, it might be a stroke of genius. Creating interest should mean there's some uniqueness, creativity, innovation - but if everyone's doing sneakers with dresses, not so unique, is it?

    • @EmilyElizabethMay
      @EmilyElizabethMay  2 місяці тому

      Yes I totally agree with you 💯!! I wish I elaborated on this point more. I know some people are happy to take risks, trust their gut and wear what they want. But others are worried to trust their instinct, and this tip is more for those people early on in their style journey and not as confident with their own creativity yet. I feel like I could talk a lot about this a lot more in another video. Thank you for bringing this up though 🙏🩷
