SCORING:
If you answered mostly a's, then you're a Sassy Prep! You're inspired by The Preppy Handbook, as well as the latest Vogue. You mix the old staples with modern, more trendy pieces. You love those classic cableknit sweaters and ribbon belts, but your look is made funky with updated styles, like sweater halters, low-rise khakis, and hip accessories. Other Sassy Preppies: Chloe Sevigny, Sophia Coppola. Buy for BTS: A fitted rugby sweater, low-rise hipster cords, and a plaid mini. Signature Store: Abercrombie & Fitch
If you answered mostly b's, then you're an Eclectic Original! You love to mix vintage, with mall finds and designer pieces, to create a one-of-a-kind, completely "You" look. You'd never be caught dead wearing the same thing as anyone else, and thanks to your eye for mix-and-matching, and your keen ability to sew, you make it possible. Other Eclectic Originals: Gwen Stefani, Drew Barrymore. Buy for BTS: A graffiti tank, reconstructed jeans and a great vintage piece. Signature Store: Flea markets, thrift shops.
If you answered mostly c's, then you're a Downtown Diva! Your style is urban and hip. You're always on top of the trends, and you're a complete city girl at heart (whether you live in a tiny town or NYC). You always look chic, and though you're always in style, you aways stand out from the rest. Other downtown diva's: Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Aniston. Buy for BTS: Luxe leather jacket, super low-rise dark denim pants and a great pair pointy black boots. Signature Store: Girlshop.com.
If you answered mostly d's, then you're a Glamour Girl! When everyone else is sporting jeans and a tee, you show up wearing a girlie skirt and camisole. You love to sparkle and shine, wherever you go, and you're definitely more comfortable in a fabulous skirt than a pair of shorts. If you do choose to wear jeans, you'll make sure they're trimmed in sequins or worn with stilettos! Other Glam Girls: Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow. Buy for BTS: Front-pleated skirt, rhinestone-studded belt, and knee-length boots. Signature Store: Bebe
