lookbook for people who aren't 15-year-old artsy kids?

Does a collaborative, extensive, tagged and search-able (women's) fashion website like this exist?
I'm aware of lookbook.nu, which is certainly fun, but I'm looking for something a little more sophisticated and grown up (with maybe a lesser emphasis on see-through stockings as pants).
My ideal website would have lots and lots of tags: brands, colors, item of clothing, occasions, even material. I'd imagine it would superficially look somewhat like lookbook in terms of structure, with lots of individual contributors. An aggregator site where someone goes through magazines and street style blogs and back-tags outfits would be great, too.
I want to be able to type in, for example, "skinny black jeans" and see photographs of a bunch of different ways to style skinny black jeans-- not on models, or at least not exclusively on models.

Polyvore might be partially what you're looking for? It uses user submitted sets, which are then searchable. Some of them are really artsy, but not all. For example a search of sets for "skinny black jeans" returned a decent amount of results. The tags on the side are also searchable and you can create your own sets. Not really a lookbook, I guess, and maybe not the crowd you're looking for?, but it fills some of your criteria.

Response by poster: Awesome, weardrobe seems to be pretty decent. (I (1) apparently already have an account, (2) forgot my password, and (3) didn't know it had a search feature.)
I'd love to hear if there's anything else like this out there.
