Quiz Me

Home > Quizzes > Quiz Archive > Who's Your Saved by the Bell Style Icon?

Quizzes

Your style icon is Lisa Turtle.

Like Lisa Turtle, you don't just want to look good -- you want people to notice how good you look. Yes, it's important for clothes to fit and flatter your body type, but you don't want your style to bore people. Almost every outfit can also use a little extra dazzle. With Lisa as your wardrobe consultant, you'll want clothes that sparkle as much as your personality. Wear:

  • Anything with bedazzled, bejeweled accents
  • Anything with lace trim
  • Ruffled gold lamé
  • Polka dots
  • Matching jackets and mini skirts
Style tip: Not everything has to shimmer and sparkle. Fringe is also your friend. If you can't find fringed clothes at the store, sew the fringe on yourself, and make Lisa proud!
