I assume by your question, you're asking not only what we're wearing, but also the brand...?

Today is "casual Friday"...

AG jeans, Addidas sneakers, Cole Haan belt, Victoria's Secret bra & panty, Kenneth Cole wrist watch, Gap socks, and a no-brand Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fitted t-shirt...

Yes, I was interested in the brands as well... um about the under graments... I have those on... but didn't think to list... you are very detailed oriented. 

FYI, calvin klein bras are just as comfy as VS, but cheaper at TJ MAxx...

We could too, but I am so scared that if I dress too feminine to work, I won't be taken seriously (I am an Engineer - Currently working as an Electrical  Engineering Project Manager), so I saved all my dresses for the weekend or church... lolz!

I've got to get my a set then. I'm always at VS and walk out spending at least close to a 500+ with not a lot to show for. I'm faithful though, but if you say so then I'm gonna give it a try. I'm excited!

Anyhow... I'm at work in a pair of black Guess slacks, a white Guess shirt, and my pointy boots from Baker's.

Instead of describing what you're all wearing, can you also post a picture?  I'm a visual person.
I can't picture how each article of clothing looks like nor the accessories that go with the outfit. ;D ;D

I'm at school so nothing too fancy. am in a pair of forever21  jeans, white charlotte russe lace cami, and a dark green cardigan since it was chilly out this morning and my old navy flip flops, sterling silver studs and necklace from kohls. ;D

That what I was looking to buy last night at Target but short sleeve since I had some while pregnant and it just so comfortable that I want more in different color.  I was able to add a blue one to the rest of my other colors at home.  I'm so petite that a lot of maternity clothes never fit me so those tees was the best thing whether the short or long sleeve.

Those maternity tees from Target are my favorite! When I was pregnant, that’s all I wore even to work…every day. In fact, those were the only maternity tops I bought all  throughout pregnancy. I still wear them just because they are so comforty!

I’m a visual person too. So yes, if possible please snap a picture of your outfits for inspiration for us all.

It’s casual Friday in the office so wearing –

Gap straight leg jeans
Jcrew pinstripe cotton button down
Target Mossimo gray sweater
Thin brown belt (forever21)
Ralph Lauren flats in chocolate brown
Green jeweled bracelet
Burberry watch


I agree with you about those maternity tees from Target.  Still keeping and adding more colors to the collection.  I like Old Navy maternity tees too but they don't have it at the store and mostly have to be order online so forget it even though I did have 2 of them.

Here’s a camera phone pix.

(http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/burberry78/april06.jpg)

Urgh, I still look pregnant!

Shirt (Forever21)
Black cardigan (Jcrew)
Black slacks (The Limited) – not wearing these pants again, they are not very flattering on me....
Black pumps (Madden Girl by Steve Madden)

Hmmm...this is very helpful, maybe I need to snap a photo before I leave the house every morning to make sure I look ok!  :D

From that photo your tummy still look like you're pregnant.  I'm glad I'm the type that don't gain weight or get big during pregnancy that after labor I'm just go back to my old size right away without even working out because my tummy will just go flat after the baby is out.  I always consider myself lucky to have easy labor/birth and going back to my old body right away.

How's your baby doing?  My baby will be 5 weeks old tomorrow which is also suppose to be his due date.......... Still have to deal with every 2-3 hours of feeding, changing, etc.  Without my kids here because of spring break this week  it has given me a little break and less stress........ .
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: SummerBerry on April 06, 2010, 01:06:29 PM
i dont think ss looks pregos at all in that pic.
she looks great for someone who just had a baby
post-prego, most can't even fit into their pre-prego clothes, and some never can again! 


She's not on the big side but you can tell she has a little tummy but working out will get her back to her size but she's still in good shape.  I don't work so I never bother with buying clothes too much so whatever I have around is just what I wear and everything still fit fine.
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: Moo.Moo.Yee on April 06, 2010, 01:26:09 PM
I think it's the shape of SS's shirt. it looks to be billowy...I wouldn't call SS fat even if she was 9 mos preggo! I've probably got 50 lbs on her and I'm the one ppl should be calling preggo  ;D

SB, my little girl is doing great! Thanks for asking. I'll have to share some recent photos of her. She's just such a joy. I'm back at work now, just started last week - I had 11 weeks off. She's 3 months now and sleeping thru the night. She sleeps like 8+ hours a nite, it's amazing! LOL... We feel so lucky that we have sleep too!  ;D

You have to share a photo of your baby! I haven't seen!


LOL... no I agree with SB though, I looked at that photo this morning and the first thing I thought was "dang! I still look pregnant!"  ;D ;D ;D  It is the shirt, like Moo said, it's kinda billowy in the front. And I don't like these slacks on me either! LOL... I try again tomorrow. I feel frumpy in this outfit... won't wear again.  :D


It was your shirt that gave that little appearance that make it look like you can be 2-4 months pregnant.  Hehe.......... .

My son is doing good but just that he's not sleeping through the night straight yet.  I'm still getting up every 2-3 hours for feeding and changing diaper.  After feeding it he fall right back to sleep then good otherwise it will be 1-2 hour of wide eye awakening that I have to play with him or just let him chill out and I watch tv until I feel like he will go back to sleep then it another bottle.  Its no wonder we sleep in the guest room for the moment so my son can sleep with husband and he can look after him while my daughter who just turn 2 over the weekend is still staying with my mom on and off in LA. 

I have plenty of pictures but I don't really know how to post in here and have tried a few time but seem not to work so it all in Myspace....... ...

me too.  I never dress up anymore since I started working here.  I wear jeans everyday with a different top, follow by a sweater or something to keep warm.  oh and sneakers, flip flops during the hot summer months.  once in a while, I'll wear a skirt with sandals or a heel, but that's seldom.

maybe I'll make it my own rule NOT to wear jeans......... .............. BUt I've gotten lazy now.  Jeans are so easy to pair. :D
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: SummerBerry on April 07, 2010, 05:18:22 PM
I LOVE scarves! OMG, I have like a 100 of them! LOL...

Anyone can pull it off... just try it sometimes SB, even if you're just at home.  :)

I don't work so I don't really bother with shopping for clothes.  Clothes in my closet such as sweater, jacket and blouse just sit there pretty for years without even touching it much.  My drawers pants and jeans are just fold neatly there and only very few time would I take it out to wear but I do stock up on jean only because I'm petite so if I come across a nice pair at Ross, TJMaxx, or Marshalls in petite size then it a must to grab otherwise its hard to find jean especially when you have no curve and just slim.  My daughter is starting to come around and grab a sweater or jacket to wear sometime but always asked for permission first. The only thing I don't own is a single skirt, dress, slack/dress pant or flowery/print top, etc.  I clean it all out after a few year of marriage because church is not my thing anymore.  If i was to do yard sale it will still be a good steal since it might still have a tag or just hardly worn.......

Scarf is never my thing.......my daughter use to stock on them after winter season along with a few that my sister gave her but I can never pull it off or bother with it.

HELL YEAH she looks great all the time!  Even when she was 8 months pregnant she was looking sharp.  Baby about to pop out but her hair was all done up and she had matching bracelets and earrings along with her shoes.  And not even any with bland colors she wears like lime green, red, teal...you name it she's got it.

i LIVE in VS Pink Sweats all winter. lol. Its nice cause i dont have any place to be but on campus most days & my workplace is a jeans & t shirt kind of place, so i'm comfy all of the time.  sometimes i miss dressing up though! since the weather has been a little nicer I have been breaking out my dresses & being more girly (see pg 2 of this thread) but we got snow today in wis so its back to the sweatpants i go!  ;)

SY,

Usually the only time I am wearing sweats is to work out or go to sleep at other people's house.  Once in a while, I will travel in them... but more often than not, I am nicely dressed up with make up on...
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: LadyLionness on April 14, 2010, 02:42:20 PM
ll,
i'm too lazy to get all dolled up on weekends. so much so that i dread weekends when i know i have an event to attend with the hub cause that means, i'll have to look decent...

Hahahaha... one reason I choose to marry my husband was b/c he likes me in make up... I dated someone who said he liked me with no make up on... I was thinking that if I married him, he may not let me wear make up as much or would not let me take the time to put on make up... lolz!  And my husband likes it when I am dressed nice... even though HE doesn't... he said his worse fear was that his wife would start dressing like an old lady... whenever he complains that I take too long, I threatened that I would go with him to places dressed like an old lady...

With dresses, it's easy to look pulled together... I hardly do anything with my hair anymore, just wash and go, unless social function.  Having a great hair cut helps.

Post by: go-go on April 19, 2010, 01:31:11 PM
I thought it would be too busy at the top, but, that wasn't the case at all.  The patterns somehow played together nicely, and you get a little pink peeking out from the cardigan, and with the black bottom, all the attention goes to the colors at the top.  I really wanted a spring look, and this was just perfect.   I felt dressed up, but not too overly done for such a casual place....

I've stopped buying in dark colors too, but when I see a nice top, I'll get it.... luckily, I have a Little Mother who is always telling me that my clothes aren't "colorful" enough (for her!), so I have plenty of colors in my wardrobe.

You gals are sooo stylish.  I tend to wear the same clothes for days.  I know.  Not good.

Today I decided to wear a black turtle neck with jeans in honor of Steve Jobs Day.  I've had the turtleneck for maybe 20 years now.  The jeans are Levi's...maybe a year old.

Ignore the dumb face and awkward pose. I did it like that so you can see the boots. And I don't accessorize because I find it tedious. That's just my everyday purse/bag. Lol.

Just curious, what do you wear under them booties? socks? or nothing..? I have one.. just don't really know how to wear it.   Great outfit by the way.

Stores sell no-show or low ankle socks that you can buy and wear with your ankle boots.  You could wear them without socks and I do from time to time, but if you wear them that way too often, they get stinky.

Lolz... I am sort of particular about my clothes... and I am afraid to order online unless I know and trust the brand... and if that's the case, then I list the brand... lolz!

I got bored of dressing business/ business causal too, so that's when I begun my journey into finding casual clothes that are fun and interesting, but would still be work appropriate.  It was hard at first, because I own exactly 2 pair of jeans and one t-shirt... and didn't know how to put together an outfit that included denim... I dated a guy once and his dad asked him... does your girlfriend ever wear jeans?  lolz...

From reading all your excerpts, I guess I dress boring everyday!!  I only try to dress up (or put in more efforts is more like it) in the summer time.  In the fall and winter, it's basically jeans and something warm with a pair of boots.  Dressing up takes too much efforts and I've gotten lazy now.

Jeans from NYC
long sleeve purple tshirt from Kohls
Nike running jacket (it was by the door!)
Ascis running shoes
Yes --I have a skirt like the one you're wearing and I only paid 5.99 at Ross.
Anemome, I love your blouse and I love that color....I was really into the yellow/butter color this summer.

Go-go...

Once you have the pieces... and an idea of what you like... (via magazines)... it takes no more effort than throwing on a T-Shirt and Jeans...

Also... if you have a few nice blazers, leather jackets, and jean jackets... you can just throw it on top of what you have on today and still look sophisticated. .. if you so wish... lolz!

Yes, I can wear Jeans and Cargos to work... most of the people here wear jeans and t-shirts with gym shoes... a few had tried wearing flip-flops... but that didn't go too well.  Even the owner and vice-presidents wear jeans... except they were nicer shirts and will often sport a blazer.

How does the rest of your co-worker dress?  Are they in 3-piece suits, etc?

Most of them are pretty business casual like me. And then the others are in skirts and blazers. And the bosses are always in a 3 piece suit. So I'm pretty okay, but should I slack more than this, then I become the odd one out. I NEVER wear skirts. I think I'm the only girl who works here who has NEVER worn a skirt...haha!

speaking of work attire, i feel like i'm always the dressed up one here. our code is business casual with jeans on Fridays. I usually wear dress slacks, a printed top and a cardigan over it with some sort of matching accessory and nice shoes. I never wear tennies here, even on casual friday. On jeans day, I wear dark colored jeans or trouser style jeans with a nice top. Just like any regular work day look but with jeans. Some people just show up in a sweatshirt, khakis and tennies everyday. That's not biz casual in my book. lol. Our higher ups are always in a suit and tie (males) or pant/skirt suit (females). I would hate to walk around looking like a bum in front of these people, you know?!

I agree! I used to wish I worked in a posh environment where I got to dress up all the time. Well, I'm in an environment like that right now! Everyone here is so styling and trendy...omg, I should take photos of the way the women here dress. It looks like the pages of Jcrew or Banana Republic ads. My sister came to my work place once and said, "Wow, everyone here looks like a freakin model!".

There are some non-model/normal people here too... ahahaa (like me).  ;D But I guess if I ever was to "dress down" which I think is the way I pretty much look every day, I would feel like an outcast just because everyone is so dressed up.  :-\
For me, I think the really big factor as to why I don't want to dress up anymore is that there's only 3 of us ladies here and I'm the youngest.  LOL!! The other two are over 50 for one and 66 for the other one.  So, for me, there's no competition to dress fashionably.  When I do put in effort and look fashionable, then I feel as if I'm way too over the top.  I used to work in a business attire only environment, but I'm really glad to have the option to dress up or dress down now.

I usually dress to make me happy... and I don't feel over the top... b/c part of it is attitude... and I don't dress overly sexy or girly b/c it's mostly men...

No leather jackets and colored blazers would be too much. The unfortunate thing about my work place is, it's is not stylish, just very conservative and businesy. If I wore colors or leather for that matter, I'm pretty sure I'd get odd stairs. It's not really an environment that is trendy persay, it's more of a very conservative, business attire kind of place. Tons of older people. That's why I don't dress TOO trendy, but I can't dress down either.

I have trench coats, but do you wear it all day? I guess, in an office, I'm not wearing a coat of any sort. I'm a huge cardigan fan though.

Today, (YAY FOR FRIDAYS, Business Casual). Blue skinny jeans, black fats, white tank, blue cardigan (this I remember, Nordstrom Rack), black/white tribal scarf.

Yes, I wear my trench coat all day... unless I get too hot...

I like cardigans too, and have few, but I don't wear them as often as I wear jackets and blazers... My cardigans are from Ann Taylor and really thin, so they are great over dresses... or layering under blazers and jackets...
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: LadyLionness on October 28, 2011, 10:30:48 AM
If you want to wear your trench coat all day, it should be one that is fitted in the back, so that it looks more like a blazer and not loose like a rain coat... that's just my opinion... lolz!

Since I’ve been posting my daily outfits, I realized how much black I actually wear! Another black day, I guess.

Cream ruffle blouse, Gap
Black trousers, Limited
Black blazer, Gap
Black heels, Tahari
Orange/gold bracelet, F21

The angle I take the pictures from is not the best or most flattering… But I guess at least it gives some visual vs just writing what I wear. LOL

Oh I can never pull that look off, plus I got fat calves so I hardly wear boots. I really like the boots though!

I love Marshalls for shoes as well. I usually find a good selection at the one in Maplewood (near Maplewood Mall).

Really? Thanks for letting me know. I actually haven't been to that one. Will be sure to go there. Need some new boots for upcoming weather.

Cali_lady - I like that scarf against the colored shirt! I'm a sucker for scarves! I wish I can pull off the leather/pleather look... but it just looks funny on me, so I don't even bother.  :-\

Thanks, I’m very shy when it comes to being center of attention…so I normally don’t wear much color at all…I was afraid my shirt would stand out w/ the rest of my tone down colors I’m wearing today…thus why I have the scarf to cover it …but I guess it looked ok after looking at it…  :P

And thanks to wowsers for posting up that 25 ways of how to wear a scarf…I found a favorite youtube channel  :D…I looooove Wendy and her style …my frame is similar to hers, but I’m prob. a fatter version …lol

I love scarves... and have been intentionally collecting them.  You really make an outfit...

You are welcome about the eyebrow pencil  I was afraid you didn't go for it.  It's really nice and ALL the people that I have introduce them to, have never gone back to anything else.  Most of the ladies don't live near a store that carry origin, at least an hour or more away... (me included), so whenever they buy, they usually buy two or three...

My mom is extremely generous about everything, but she is stingy about her Origin eyebrow pencil... lolz... she gave one to her of sister law (she bought 3)... and she was like... aww... I shouldn't have given it away... but she has been helping me a lot... lolz!

cali_lady - OMG, you are so right about that scarf! LOL! I remember shooting my niece with her senior photos that year and she wore that scarf in all her photos, I insisted she take some without the scarf but she didn't want to remove the darn thing!  ;D

As much as I love scarves, that is one print I did not add to my collection because everyone had it at the time. LOL
I like your clearance pants though!



Thanks.  :) yeah, when i first saw the scarf, in my mind i'm thinking "oooo..wow, Hmong inspired...i should get it..." but then i didn't realize ALMOST every teen had em'...so i never wore it out  :P

Like everyone else, I am in love with Anemone's style too!  :-* :-* :D

Today, I'm wearing a red/gray striped cardigan (F21) over a black tshirt (Mossimo brand from Target) and black pants (The Limited).

My male coworker (one who I'm NOT very fond of, btw) came over and said "You are wearing Ohio State colors!" I told him that I don't dress according to sports team colors and he was all trying to act slick about it. Good Lord!! Leave me alone!!

Now that I think about it, yesterday I wore a purple shirt and I didn't know that we were OK'ed to wear Packer jerseys/colors for the game against Vikings, so if we're using my coworker's logic, I was rooting for the Vikings. lol. Oh well. I don't care!  :2funny:

Lolz... I like that last one too... I'm gonna try that with this leather jacket the next time I wear it....I have a pair of kenneth cole  heels similar to that...

Google and Fashion Magazines have been my inspiration... after 13 years of being married to a control freak who picks out 4 outfits plus one shoe every 6 months for me, I didn't know how to dress anymore... so I have been trying to learn... but as y'all know... following the trend does not do well for us older ladies... so... I first started out just buying what I love... suits and blazers... that was all I knew... lolz...

Then leather jackets and lace whenever I can find something that does not look cheap or sleazy...

After that, I just browse until I see something that I like and could pull off with the stuff I have...

Are u serious 4 outfits and one pair of shoe every 6 months?  Must be outfits that u don't even want to wear but have to because of him?  If only I was working I would buy a little here and there every once in a while otherwise I don't have a reason for it unless I have to have it only because its a good steal/deal, fit good and probably won't come across it again especially when I'm petite.  I was able to grab some skinny slack/pant from Ross and Marshalls but only to end up not able to wear it because I am pregnant so probably will have to sit in my closet for a while.

I own a nice collection of lace stuff... but it's been from searching for many years... often, it's hard to fit my body b/c I have big hips, butts, and thighs... lolz... and calves too... only small part is my torso...

I was able to clean all off but because we had to wash it right away in a sink with club soda, the lace stretched out and the entire skirt looks off. It's supposed to be dry clean only  :-[

Yeap... and he would buy them 2 sizes too big... I didn't know how awful I looked until after we were separated...

I wanted to go out, so I asked one of my co-worker and she suggested that we go to a bar after work... so I asked her what does people usually wear... and she said jeans... so I went to work with a pair of boot cut jeans and a white button down shirt.... ALL day long people have been stopping by and talking to me... about 2:30... my friend/co-worker came over and said, I have got to see you what you on... everybody has been over by my desk telling I need to come over... lolz!  A few days later, I was talking to another of my co-worker... male... lolz... and I brought up the fact that other ladies... especially the younger ones... all wear jeans and white button down shirts, so I didn't see what the big fuss was all about

He said, "We just never knew you had that body underneath all those clothes..."  Lolz!  After I married my husband... and when we run into my ex's relatives... they hardly recognize me... and they all thought that I lost a ton a weight... lolz!  I only lost about 10 pounds... hahahaha... but changed from a size 14 down to a size 6.

I got my skirts from The Limited, H&M, Ann Taylor and the BR skirt I got from a forums. I like pencil style skirt so I look for lace pencil skirt.  Have you consider having the lace item alternated to fit your body? This lace skirt from Ann Taylor http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/product/AT-Petites/AT-Petite-Skirts/Petite-Glazed-Lace-Pencil-Skirt/266186?colorExplode=false&skuId=90228155&catid=cata000031&productPageTyp e=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=2012 (http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/product/AT-Petites/AT-Petite-Skirts/Petite-Glazed-Lace-Pencil-Skirt/266186?colorExplode=false&skuId=90228155&catid=cata000031&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=2012) really slimthe body. It's pricey online but you can find it in store for a lot cheaper.

I bought a lace skirt from The Limited earlier this year. I wore it to a party where my then-fiance spilled red wine all over it   >:( :knuppel2:. I was able to clean all off but because we had to wash it right away in a sink with club soda, the lace stretched out and the entire skirt looks off. It's supposed to be dry clean only  :-[
That's a bummer.

LL...........s eem you can pull off wearing bright color and no wonder you like rich color like pink, purple, green, etc. or should I just said neon colors.  I think I have to stick with darker color from brown, black and grey only.  Maybe if I'm working like some of your ladies then I can be more into fashion otherwise I don't want to go beyond shopping or getting clothes/accessories/shoes every once in a while when I know it will sit in my closet for years.  My church day are over and with the kind of lifestyle I live doesn't involved going clubbing, bar, etc. or even a party......... that I don't have a single dress, skirt, etc. in my closet.  I only have dress pants and a few dress shirts but it seem like I'm getting rid of my dress shirts every once in a while but I do have plenty of sweater/cardigan which is something that can never go wrong with a pair of jean.

I used to just wear a lot of neutral colors too, but then they start making clothes in all these beautiful colors and I just love them.  For me, the color is not as important as the material and the fit.  Lolz... I only have one piece that is neon color... the rest are just bright jewel tones.

It's terribly hard to pull off a boyfriend jacket, especially if you're petite and plus size.

But, I think this jacket suits me; what do you ladies think?

Yeah, I wore this to dinner with the ladies after church.

How do you women find the time to dress up?!!! I do not dress up for work at all. I just go in a plain slack with a nice top. No make up either. LOLZ

No make up either, but when you have all the pieces, it's as easy as putting on a pair of slacks and top... you just have to get use to dressing that way.

I love the jean and shirt...but I don't think I could ever pull off the leather trench look! You rock it though!

I love all your outfits... lolz.

Wearing leather takes some "getting used to it."  It's easier when you have dressier pieces and that have to fit well.  Otherwise it looks sloppy and westernish or bikerish... feminine colors are the best.

I'm too lazy. All the years that I've been working. I never dress up. I just put on whatever makes me feel comfortable for the day. I figured I'll be sitting 8 hours of day. Don't want to wear clothes that will make me feel uncomfortable. I onlly dress up if there's a important meeting with a client.  ;D

I only wear comfortable clothes too.

It takes the same amount of effort... really.

Anemone,

With trench coats, they have to hit at the right spot... lolz.  I think you are taller than me... I am only 4' 10"... but usually wear 4 inch heels.

Anyway, this one is right at the knee, so it's good.  I have taken all of my trench coat and ask my co-worker to shorten them up to slightly above the knees.

By the way how's your stepdaughter doing and what grade is she in now?

lol Thanks LadyLionness. You have a great leather jacket collection. I don't own a really leather jacket just a fake one.

Reload, love the layered look!

TuesdaysGirl, thanks for sharing! I love the 2nd outfit and color combo!
Thanks Anemone. I love your grey and black outfit.

By the way how's your stepdaughter doing and what grade is she in now? 
SummerBerry my outfits are a mixed of old and new clothes. I usually head to the mall to window shop during lunch and I shop online when the store offer free shipping. I have a spending budget and try not to go over the budget.=)  I usually buy my clothes when there is a sale.  And yes my workplace required me to dress professional. No jean are available and there is no casual Friday.

My stepdaughter is great. She is growing up so quickly. It seems like it was just yesterday when she was 3 yrs. She is in 6th grade.

Blue-green shawl collar sweater - The Limited
Black pant with small light white strips - Express

My sister has the Michael Kors rose gold watch, it’s really nice. But I couldn’t get myself to buy one at that price. So I picked up this look-alike at Target. I figure I already have a nice classic Burberry watch so this cheapo will do just fine for now.  ;D
I saw the Michael Kors one. Love but too expensive for me. I don't wear watch often so I looking for a cheap one.=)

I just bought this last month and I love it.  I have not taken it off since I got it sized.  It's a man's watch, but I have been wanting something big like that and when I saw the rose gold, I thought it have just the right feminine touch.  I will try to remember to snap a pic the next time I post... mine the face is a bit bigger than Anemone, so it covers more of my wrist.

I have only started to feel more comfortable with the style that I have defined for me.  And this thread does help in a way.  Seeing all the professional office attire, I am tempted to get back to it.  I was so bored with them for a while and I rebelled and refused to wear them for about a year or so now... lolz.

My husband is an anything goes kind of a guy, except when he is preaching... then he 's in a suit... but I want to make him fashionable.  My favorite style for him is a black v-neck shirt (high quality), black slacks, and a black suit jacket.  Black socks and nice and comfortable dress shoes.

A nice black polo works too.

They're 3/12 inches heel. Since I'm so short. Most of my heel shoe are 3/12 inches.

Hey, as far as I am concerned, that's still part of your fashion style...

Do you assume you are walking around in your birthday suit with nice nails?  Lolz!

I say list your clothes anyway, whether you think they are fashionable or not.

 :D :D I gotta say my nails are REALLY bling blingin' today...haha. I keep looking at them cuz they're so sparkly.

Ok today I am wearing dark gray trousers from GAP, a black t shirt, and a dark red cable cardigan sweater. Only jewelry I have on are my fake diamond studs and my wedding band/ring.

your nails look awesome with your wedding bands.  Very nice.  So, what's your favorite color?  I have not worn nail polish since I gave birth to my first child.  She is turning 18 this Friday.

But recently, I have started wearing nail polish again.  My problem is that I only want to wear the green... and maybe the royal blue... lolz.  So in appropriate for work, I think...

LL, I know...I really like the greens, blues, purples, and glittery colors. We're not THAT conservative at work, but I'd rather not take my chances with my wacky colors. haha! I thought this one was work appropriate because it's still kinda muted for a glitter.  :D it's not like a lime green glitter, you know.

forgot to take a pic of my outfit yesterday... will try to remember for today.


Today's outfit:  Still trying to dress more on the professional side...

1.  The Limited black slacks - cassidy cut.
2.  Covington black v-neck shirt
3.   Wilson red leather blazer - so beautiful... I also have this exact style in yellow, mint green, and blue.  I will have to take some pictures to show you guys... lolz.  Yes yes, I know, I am probably the only leather jacket fanatic here.
4.  Born red maryjanes pump.
5.  Red and white paisley scarf - silk/ cashmere blend - bought from Kroger for $9.99.  Too bad this year's supply is only a polyester blend, but still wears really nicely, so I bought 4, $6.99 each.. there's there more I would like to buy.

No photo today. I’m just lazy.

Navy top, NY&Co
Navy straight leg pants (as close to skinny pants as I’ll ever get…ahaa), Gap
Long carmel sweater, H&M
Beige ballet flats


Urgh, not clothes related but I'm just annoyed. So about 3 weeks ago I chopped off about 12 inches of hair. My hair is now shoulder length. Today, one of my co-workers asked.."Hey, did you get a hair cut?".... WTF - yeah, like 3 freakin weeks ago!  :idiot2:
Anemone - My co-workers are like that too.

Fashion Victim, Trends Slave - Why It Is Bad And How You Can Avoid The Pitfalls Of Seasonal Fads

As a fashion blogger, I am (or should be) really accepting of people going overboard with 'style', but I have to say, I am guilty of laughing at "don't" photos of Glamour magazine - People with their eyes hidden behind a black rectangle, totally unaware of how uncool and funny (not in a good way) they look!  I think Oscar de la Renta must be thinking of such people when he coined the term 'Fashion Victim' that is used to define a person who is unable to identify commonly recognized boundaries of style.  Fashion victims are victims because they are vulnerable to faddishness (intense but short lived fashion trends) and materialism and consequently are at the mercy of society's prejudices or of the commercial interest of the fashion industry, or of both. I have a another word for a situation like this - 'Trends Slave' - when we forget the style and only focus on whats new. We are actually susceptible of of getting something new without making sure that it looks good on us. And society's prejudices aside, being slave to 'trends' has some other downfalls too-
1.Trends slaves work with the latest fashion, not with their own body
Hence the black rectangle over the eyes!! I f I wear something that is all the rage, but doesn't make me look good - its not for me! The trend should fit my body, not the vice versa. You will never feel beautiful or stylish if you 'judge' yourself with clothes/hair/beauty products made for other people's body.
2.Trends slaves shop more than they should (yes, shopping should have a budget limit! Its not like its 2006 y'all!)
When the trends slaves try to catch up with ALL the new trends, they make retailers very happy, but spend more of their hard earned money on another pair of shoes they may not wear after this fall. EVER. Debt on young shoulders is a scary thing.
3.Trends slaves neglect the existing good pieces in their wardrobe
Because they are so busy buying the latest IT things, they seldom realize the worth of existing great pieces. Blindsided by the latest style, they forget that they have 3 other, better fitting outfits hanging in the back of the closet!
4.Trends slaves lose their style identity
Trends slaves forget what is unique about their own style and just blindly follow the latest IN thing! Versace had once said, "When a woman alters her look too much from season to season, she becomes a fashion victim". You know why after decades, we still remember Grace Kelley and Audrey Hepburn as style icons - they did not change with fashion, they changed fashion with them!
5.Trends slaves have messy closets
And for obvious reasons! If you collect 'things' because 'some people' are saying these are the 'must haves', chances are you collect junk too - Ain't Hoarders a REALITY show??? And Most regular people don't have Kardashian Kloset space!! (ughh, i had sworn I will never mention those Kitches* on my blog!)

But not being the trends slave doesn't mean you can not keep up with whats hot. Invest some time to figure out what works best for you, what is needed NOW and what can wait, what is smart and what is not! Its as simple as going to a buffet and eat what you really love and what makes you fell good! All you can eat is not really ALL you can eat!!
Here is how not to be trends slave (while rocking the newest trends!)-
Know your body - Wide leg pants on a super petite frame might not be a good idea, even though the celeb picture in magazine screams at you to buy it.

Know your style - Follow the trends that make you feel comfortable in your own skin. From personal experience - I know I have a more conservative style, and I LOVE seeing other people pushing out of their comfort zone.  But If I am not comfortable enough to wear something with total confidence, Its not for me - even if its the number one trend this season!

Know your environment - A traditional office environment demands a different closet than say, a trendy boutique PR firm. Whats new doesn't make it fit for all the occasions/places.

Know your logistics - What is your budget, how much closet space do you have, If you need or have storage space needed for not-in-use items - answer these question before you make a buying decision - unless its something you really need and can work with it even with logistical constraints.
Now I have a question for you - How do you decide if you want that latest "must have"?

Reload Wife.......... you was able to grab something from Jason Wu line.  Last night while watching my favorite tv series " Revenge" while on commerical.... ....it was the 1st time I got attention or a grip of Jason Wu line for Target.  I did check out both Target by my house on Sunday but the line was not carried there and they had nothing.  I might go later today since I need to grab a few supplies I'm donating to my son preschool Valentine's party since I can't be around to volunteer so I always buy something off the list for the teacher whenever there is a little party or event.

Reload Wife.......... you was able to grab something from Jason Wu line.  Last night while watching my favorite tv series " Revenge" while on commerical.... ....it was the 1st time I got attention or a grip of Jason Wu line for Target.  I did check out both Target by my house on Sunday but the line was not carried there and they had nothing.  I might go later today since I need to grab a few supplies I'm donating to my son preschool Valentine's party since I can't be around to volunteer so I always buy something off the list for the teacher whenever there is a little party or event.
I heard about the Jason Wu through facebook last year and noted the date in my calendar. I was one of the crazy people. I went to the store at 7:15am since I didn't know what to expect. There were only a few who were there for the Jason Wu collection. I got the chance to tried on several piece the store carried. The clothes were very boxy so I just settle on one piece.  =)

That's what I see with all the "designer" coming to target and Kohls... does not compare to their normal brand.  I love vera wang but have not bought anything from her Simply Vera line... bought one trench that I ended up giving away to my daughter.

Personally I think the Jason Wu collection for Target is better than Vera Wang for Kohls.

Unfortunately, if they are boxy, they won't work on me... I have broad shoulders and gigantic hips... and a small torso... so boxy will literally make me look like a box...


The only designer that I could wear at Department store end are:  Max Azria's (designer of BCBG and Herve Ledger) for Sears and Walmart....

Otherwise I prefer their designer brand.

Lolz... probably not much better than the Simply Vera line which is such a disappointment ... looks great on the hangers but awful on... I think they just "buy" the designer's name... I doubted if the designer is really designing these clothes for them... the thing I like about designer clothes is not so much the "look" of it but the fit... I remember reading that Vera spend hours and hours putting the seam in just the right spot to create the best fit and drape... none of that exist in the Simply Vera line...

I am very disappointed in the Jennifer Lopez line too... she has big hips like me, so I figured the clothes would flatter my body type... PLEATS??? come on... seriously?  argh...

Post by: LadyLionness on February 15, 2012, 06:31:00 PM
Why?  I just get what works or fits well.  I usually get the stock shirts (with standard sizing) taken in a bit.  IDK, 18 1/2 neck by 34/35 sleeves generally tend to be slightly wider at the waist.  For a couple of bucks, I get them fitted.   O0

MA's line, or even Express for Men...no dice.  Doesn't fit me right.   :-X

I could see why Marc Anthony's line would not work for you, HPA.  Even the women's they are pretty slim fitting... which is why I love his leather jackets.

2.  Teri Jon Velvet Jacket
3.  Hmong Sau

5.  Sofft black ankle boots

Funny ya'll are talking about color blocking. Wearing a hot pink top today (limited) with navy blue cardigan (limited).

This is a different pink for me as I normally don't venture into something this bright...but I actually really like it with the navy blue.

Try to post a picture later.

Ohh... I haven't tried hot pink with navy... but I love it with olive green... and then with gray... I love red and purple together also.

I got something odd on today... might post a pic just to show the colors... but I don't really like the "fit" of the pieces... I will list it here and post up the pic later...

Grey and black python print skinny jeans - JC Penny
Mint green dolman sleeve top - Max Azria for Miley Cyrus (Walmart)
Orange Liz Claiborne (I think) button down peasant blouse on top
Andrew Marc black leather jacket
Born yellow heel sandals

No scarfs today b/c the blouse is founcy already... was too busy...

LL- Ok so maybe I've been reading too many fashion blogs where they pick apart celebrities outfits and styling but as I was looking through your pictures, I'm beginning to pick apart some of your styling.  I'm no fashion experts, but I do have opinions.  If you don't mind, could I point some out?

The hems on your pants - most of them look a bit too long.

The shoes in that purple jacket picture needs to go.  I think that's the best outfit you showed, but it's ruined by those shoes.... they totally look too clunky for that sleek look and the brown is not working for it at all. Try a gray pair. and not by Born.

The scarf in the olive jacket is a skosh too long... it's throwing off your proportions... with wide leg pants, the scarf shouldn't come half way down to your thighs... maybe wear it shorter, just right below where the jacket ends...?

And then in the black trench jacket picture, there's too many elements, you have the zippers in the jackets, the buckles on the shoes, the open zipper on the arm, the watch, the hem on the pants... I think if you sub a different pair of shoes, maybe a pair of color boot (with no visible buckles) and switch out the scarf with no fringes so that the fringes and the zippers on the coat don't make your middle area look so busy...? or don't even wear a scarf...the jacket is the star here, so maybe try something sleek and minimal (a dress with color pump)

Then the one with the green jacket, I think it would look awesome without that red scarf.  It's simple but colorful.

And the white trench picture, at first glance, it looks like a doctor overcoat... with your hair down and all.   Maybe put your hair in a chignon, and change out the shoes... try a wedge?

I don't know......kuv laam tau laam has xwb, hopefully you're not mad at me for making some stupid suggestions :)

No, absolutely not... that's the purpose of this thread... to learn from each other... will try your suggestions... lolz...

The hems... I have been thinking on it... but haven't decided yet... the wide leg pants one... just haven't have time yet...

ok thanks!  I think the wide legs jean is good, it looks really good on you but somehow the black pants one doens't.  Maybe it's the cut in the thighs... the jeans looks more fitted and straight whereas the black one looks like a looser fit.

LL- Ok so maybe I've been reading too many fashion blogs where they pick apart celebrities outfits and styling but as I was looking through your pictures, I'm beginning to pick apart some of your styling.  I'm no fashion experts, but I do have opinions.  If you don't mind, could I point some out?

The hems on your pants - most of them look a bit too long.

The shoes in that purple jacket picture needs to go.  I think that's the best outfit you showed, but it's ruined by those shoes.... they totally look too clunky for that sleek look and the brown is not working for it at all. Try a gray pair. and not by Born.

Forget the gray... try it with these!

(http://images.hhbrown.com/Born/Pair/B16813-145x155.png)

I was looking at Born shoes because you have them in every one of your outfits...and I was wondering what's up with them? i have one pair of Born shoes and I hardly wear it.  Anyway, then I saw this pair of gorgeous blue sandal and I loved it!    It's a wedge...and it's Born so I thought I suggest it to you.  

I might even get it for myself.... maybe.  :2funny: :2funny:  More than likely, NOT!

(yes I have a long afternoon to kill!)

Born shoes feels like gym shoes, you can walk around in them all day... yes, those are beautiful... I will have to pick up that ... don't have blue shoes yet...

yes They do feel comfortable, but the overal asthestic of the look is just not my cup of tea. Except that blue wedge - I love that color, but at $115?  Nah.

I only have a pair that looks like this and I wear it occassionally.  Bought it Marshalls for $49.

I don't wear the flat born ... well except for the beautiful flat flora sandals...

I like mine and I like the new styles coming out... Can't wait to buy some.  I usually wait until eBay has them for roughly $50 or less before I buy them...

Anyway. I'm feel bad for making all those suggestions. It might seem like I'm criticizing you without sharing my own outfits.  I don't have a camera with me and my cell phone sucks, so here's what I can find on the internet.
I don't have any fancy jackets... just standard items.

Yeah, it's hard to get into a comfortable style.  I don't know what my style is, but it's not trendy. I guess it's more of a classical style - straight lines, clean hems, not of lot of those trendy details like bows, ruffles or braids or all those bell and whistles. 

I like jackets too, but cardigans more.  It seems to me like you like outwear jackets -- all of those jackets are outwears.  Do you wear them all day long in the office?

Yes, I do.  I have blazers too and I love them equally.  The colored leather jackets are actually not outerwear... as they are designed to be worn fitted...same as blazers... the trench coats are more outerwear, but I try to find light materials... I have more... will have to wear them and take pix...

Thanks, Anemone.  I don't mind constructive criticism either.  But, I've observed that, most often times, people don't like things being pointed out to them.  Especialy here on PH, for some reason.

I am not an fashion expert and by no means am I "fashionable"!   :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:  Heck, most days, I look like a bum, esp in summer.  But, I do like fashion and I'm learning to accessorize --- just not on myself.  I like to do it to other people -- same with makeup and hair.  I love doing other's hair and makeup, but hate doing my own.  Not sure why that is...  :2funny:

Constructive criticism is not bad.

I would not mind at all if anyone gave me feedback on how I dressed. In fact, I welcome it! I think we can all learn something from each other. What I think looks awesome on my body might not be true, maybe I just think it looks awesome because I’m so comfortable with it and when we get comfortable, we don’t step outside our comfort-zone.

I rather someone be honest with me than try to sugar coat it and tell me I look “great” all the time without any real feedback.

Heck, I might start posting my daily wears again. I still need to find what works well for me, how to style my clothes, etc…

thajyeeb, I think you're on to something here.  O0

and yes, please post up your daily wears.  I have noticed that you like the same styling as me... LOL.  

I dont think I will ever be able to post up my daily wear - because one, it means I'll have to dress up everyday and two, I hardly have time in the morning to grab a bite to eat before I herd my kids off to school.  so, unless I wake up extra early and dress up all the time, I'll just critique!   :D

I wanted to point out some items from LL's photo's but didn't want to say anything either. I'm no fashion expert and I'm very NPAJ NAUJ so I have no right to give constrictive criticism. ehehehe

This thread is inspiring me to post some of my daily outfits however I throw whatever on. My workplace is business casual but I do it with no style. I wear whatever I feel like in the morning and they do not match at all. LMAO

Here’s my share for today.

It’s casual week at the office this week so I’m in jeans. And today we have some award ceremony so my division was slotted to wear yellow.

Mustard cardigan – NY&Co (one of my favorite sweaters, bought it about 4 yrs ago)
Cream shell – Ann Taylor LOFT
Dark boot cut jeans – Levi (petite)
Black strappy wedge – Mossimo Target

(http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/burberry78/IMAG1414.jpg)

That's something that I would wear on a daily basis.   ;D I think it looks fine, but you could change out the cream shell for something more visually stimulating, a print or a floral to compliment the mustard cardigan.  And pair the cream shell with a wild-color/print cardigan to tone it down.

I’m not big on prints so that’s my problem. And I’m very self cautious about my body so I just feel like prints scream attention. I wear cardigans/sweaters/anything that covers up…almost daily. And 98% of my cardigans are solid colors.

My wardrobe is pretty safe and boring. I really don’t experiment a lot and I am not a very trendy person.

I think it would be interesting if someone else dressed me though, I'd like to see what kind of clothes they’d put me in.  ;D

Are you sure about that? See that yellow floral tee shirt I posted yesterday? You're saying you can't wear something like that underneath? It's basically just a v-neck tshirt with some floral prints from Liz Clairborne at JCP.  

How about something like this from Anne Taylor website:  

(http://anntaylor2.richfx.com.edgesuite.net/image/media/273514_6079_pdlg488x600.jpg)
It's pretty safe but has some visual interest from the vertical strips, and the muted grays (I think it's gray).  

I'd be interested to see what others put on me too.  Do you watch What Not To Wear? I watch it religiously and all the re-runs too.  When I go to the store, I try to go outside my normal, safe items.  And I've tried to stay in one store and make an outfit. Or else, I buy pieces from different places and then I take a picture of it so that when I go shopping elsewhere, I'll remember to buy something to go with it.  It's frustrating and time consuming (so don't take along any kids or spouse!), but it makes sense! You can go home and have a complete outfit (minus the shoes, of course, and the purse hahahaha)

I have a lot of solids too, but I'm finding that when I piece a solid cardigan with a printed shell (or vice versa) - I feel better about how I look that day.  Plus, if you're frugal, the printed piece is very verstile and you can mix and match with other color cardigan.  So, that yellow floral top from Anne Taylor, I'd pair it with the yellow cardigan, the lavender one the next time, a gray one the next time and a coral one another time.  You can belt it in with a pencil skirt or capris.  I love capris with summer cardigan -- it's my go-to summer style. LOL

See this printed cardigan? You can pair this with the cream shell you have on.
(http://blog.couponalbum.com/images/2010/11/women-printed-cardigan.jpg)


Or, I flip it around and wear a solid cadigan with a printed top to tone down the print.

(http://img4.realsimple.com/images/1009/white-sweater-skirt_300.jpg)

This is the style that I normally wear... so I have a lot of cardigans and printed tshirt/shells.  ;D

These are just pictures I found on the internet, but you get the picture now, right? You said you're a visual person, so I got some pictures for you.    :2funny:

LOL! I know... I used to only have solids, but, I love prints now and I only buy the ones in my taste preferences.  I don't do the wild animal prints or the African prints, but I do like florals - not big florals, but florals in abstract designs, and other printed abstract.

Now, I am into a black shirt only phrase... and adding colors via outer layers or scrafs...
I got over the black and brown and white phase.  I found that I actually look really good in colors!  LOL!!   :2funny:  Especially gemstone colors and even some soft feminine color like-- PINK, lavender and coral! who knew!  

OHH!  Ladies -- go try on gemstone colors tops -- with our dark hair, it frames our face beautifully!!  I swear it!  For me, it's the amethyst, emerald, green and garnet colors that really stand out.

thayeeb,

I do wear colors... and I used to be into gemstone colored tops b/c I use to have all neutral jackets and bottoms... but now that I have colored jackets and pants, I prefer a dark, solid base to build from.

I do still have a few prints and colors that I wear when I am wearing a neutra color jacket.

I can not do colored pants. They scream 80's and old to me.  Maybe it's because when we were young, my parents always got us whatever color pants (or clothings) they could find at the salvation army or the thrift stores.  :2funny:

It's like hardwood floors.  Back then, we were poor and always lived in houses with hardwood floorings.  I've always thought that hardwood floorings were for poor people who can't afford carpets.  (:idiot2: @ me) Everyone that we knew then that had nice houses always had beautiful carpeted living rooms/bedrooms. As I got older, I learned that hardwood floors are the desired choice of floors.

Lolz, it's funny how our childhood impression affects us today, huh?  To this day, I hardly ever eat tootsie rolls.. b/c as kids, we would take a dollar to the candy store and buy 100 candy... some toosties, some of theose pink bubble gum... so to me they were poor people candy....

I love colored skinnies... but trying to not buy too much b/c it's trendy.... so it could go out of style soon...  so far, I only have the green one and a blue one... the rest are all neutral colors...

I have some tops and cardigans very similar to the visuals you posted. I will put an outfit together tomorrow and you guys can give me some feedback. I feel like the prints don't look good on me, like I can't pull it off. But who knows...look forward to constructive feedback.  :)

Looking forward to it! I thought about playing dress up last night and posting up some of usual looks, but, decided against it. Was too tired after dinner, and since I have no husband for the week, I wanted to sit and relax with a book instead since no one will be interrupting me every few minutes to look for something he "misplaced".

OK! So tonight, I decided, on a whim, to take some pictures of some normal tops that I usually wear.  I didn't change out the jeans (but most of the times, I'm in jeans or slack - rarely in skirts), and didn't add any accessories because I'm just too damn lazy right now -- and because, frankly, I dont have alot of cool accessories.  The ones that I do have are for dressier occassions, which didn't go well with these normal, everyday wear.  (I'll have to remedy that!) 

These are pretty standard looks for me. I'm looking to change it up, but MAN! It takes $$$$ to get some nice clothes!!! I do a lot of mix n match as you can see and trying to work with patterns (after watching Mondo on Project Runway).

(http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv304/a20p100/outfits039.jpg)
I think this yellow tshirt is a skosh too short and too tight across the chest, huh?

(http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv304/a20p100/outfits035.jpg)
optical illusion is good... makes me look like I actually have skinny thighs!!

(http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv304/a20p100/outfits030.jpg)
I could've used a different belt, but ....this was on top and it's skinny enough! It'll do.
OH! And in order for this look to work, I find that you must have a skinny torso or your fat will look divy up like this...sad but true.

(http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv304/a20p100/outfits021.jpg)
wow, do I have a flat azz or what?? My butt doesnt even fill out the jeans. hahahah...

So, gimme your critiques..... ....what accessories can I add?  I think the lengths of the cardigans are just right for me, not too long and not too short.  What else can I wear with it besides jeans? I've tried skirts, but I don't think I look good in skirts.  Too short-waisted and short-legged.  Plus, I'm chubby, so I tend to stay away from them because I have fat knees.  :-\

ThajYeeb, your attire and mix goes very well with e/o. I can't pull that off since my body type and shape is different from yours. I only wear solid prints and can pull off animal prints. Animal prints are only for the nightlife. Other than that it's mainly solid colors. I have 2 or 3 that has some kind of design but it's more on one spot versus all over the shirt.

As for skirts, you can totally pull it off. I see you in a Pencil skirt down to your knee's. It will accentuate your body and give you a very sexy and sophisticated look. Here's a visual of a pencil skirt below your knee.

Yeah the yellow shirt is too short, it was meant to go with another yellow cardigan also cut a little bit short.

As for skirts, you can totally pull it off. I see you in a Pencil skirt down to your knee's. It will accentuate your body and give you a very sexy and sophisticated look. Here's a visual of a pencil skirt below your knee.

I have a black pencil skirt that is a high waisted one and I LOVE it. I gained weight so it's a little tight on me but need to lose some weight to fit back into it. lol

Thanks....I like the colors too, but still trying to mix and match patterns.  I'm liking it more than I thought I would.  Also, I actually own quite alot of skirts and dresses, and some of these cardigans were bought to go with a skirt.  it's just that I just don't like to wear them to work (fat knees, ugly legs, more work, etc).  I have a black waist high pencil skirt too, and yes, I agree, it's very figure-flattering -- BUT -- I hate wearing it to work because, as you said, it's too sophisticated. Our workplace is not that kind of environment.  And if I dress up, then I feel as if the other folks are looking.  And if I wear heels, the long walk down the hallway makes too much noise with all that heels clicking on the floor.  *sigh*  Brings too much un-necessary attention.

That's why I wear BORN shoes to work only... all rubber, no clicking of heels down the hall way.... I know they are not the most flattering shoes, but for 3.5 inches and  cuter than most painful shoes... I will live in these the rest of my life... lolz!   :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:

I was lazy this morning so I didn’t spend too much time picking an outfit out. I’ll put more effort tonight.

I decided to pair a fuchsia top with a gray/cream print cardigan with dark denim jeans, and black heels. After I took the picture and saw it, I didn’t love the outfit so I changed up the printed cardigan and went with a black cardigan & chunky grey necklace and went to work (solid on solid again...I know!).

(sorry for the weird color, I had my camera set on the lomo effect and was running late so didn’t have time to retake a picture in normal settings).

Just changed the cardigan and put on necklace, wore the same jeans.

(http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/burberry78/IMAG1421.jpg)



Ohh Anemone, I like the 1st look!  You should've stuck with it! You can add the necklace of the 2nd look to it to really make a statement.    You probably didn't like the look of the 1st one because you're not used to wearing it in that combination.  I think your comfort zone is solid on solid.

The 2nd look is fine, but it's just SOOOoooo plain.  And black and red is such an ordinary combo - I'm trying not to do ordinary combo (even though I did do a yellow and black combo in one of my looks hahahah)

yeah but.... but I don't like Borne shoes.  I think they are too clunky and makes my feet look bigger in proportion to the rest of my body, like a caricature of a tiny head, spare tire in the middle and big feet sticking out.   :2funny: :2funny:

I found an ankle boot with rubber heels, and some other ones from Aerosole.  Plus, in the summer, it's mainly flip flops.

I feel you on the work environment. I tend to dress according to my work environment which is very casual as well. I use to wear heels to work all the time but walking from the parking ramp, down the hall, up the stairs, then to my cube was such a damn hassle. So I learned to leave a pair of heels at work, wear my flats, and change when i'm here. lol

I'm not a dress nor skirt type of girl. I would only wear it on special occassion. I would pair if with a black nylons cause I'm very conscious of my fat white legs and surgery scar as well.

I actually like the second look. I don't like wearing animal prints to work cause it screams ATTENTION! That's just me. LOL
I would wear the first look for an evening/weekend outing though.

I like both look, but the first one is more casual and I think Anemone's work place is more formal.  My work place is super casual, so I could probably get away with almost anything... but I don't like dressing too sexy to work... I just don't feel comfortable...

OK! So tonight, I decided, on a whim, to take some pictures of some normal tops that I usually wear.  I didn't change out the jeans (but most of the times, I'm in jeans or slack - rarely in skirts), and didn't add any accessories because I'm just too damn lazy right now -- and because, frankly, I dont have alot of cool accessories.  The ones that I do have are for dressier occassions, which didn't go well with these normal, everyday wear.  (I'll have to remedy that!) 

These are pretty standard looks for me. I'm looking to change it up, but MAN! It takes $$$$ to get some nice clothes!!! I do a lot of mix n match as you can see and trying to work with patterns (after watching Mondo on Project Runway).

(http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv304/a20p100/outfits039.jpg)
I think this yellow tshirt is a skosh too short and too tight across the chest, huh?

(http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv304/a20p100/outfits035.jpg)
optical illusion is good... makes me look like I actually have skinny thighs!!

(http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv304/a20p100/outfits030.jpg)
I could've used a different belt, but ....this was on top and it's skinny enough! It'll do.
OH! And in order for this look to work, I find that you must have a skinny torso or your fat will look divy up like this...sad but true.

(http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv304/a20p100/outfits021.jpg)
wow, do I have a flat azz or what?? My butt doesnt even fill out the jeans. hahahah...

So, gimme your critiques..... ....what accessories can I add?  I think the lengths of the cardigans are just right for me, not too long and not too short.  What else can I wear with it besides jeans? I've tried skirts, but I don't think I look good in skirts.  Too short-waisted and short-legged.  Plus, I'm chubby, so I tend to stay away from them because I have fat knees.  :-\   

Thajyeeb, I really like the way you mix up prints with solid colors. I use to always be a solid & solid type of girl but I've learned it's much more dazzling with prints.  O0

I agree with Anemone for you to try straight leg pants. They do elongate you and give you  more of a fitted look ?

My workplace is very formal as well. Well we have 2 buildings and the first one is very formal with suits/ties, dresses, etc but the second one where I work at we're all more casual. We don't have the executives and vp's in this building so we're all more laid back.  ;D

MHS and Anemone, did my jeans look like skinny jeans to you guys? cuz it's actually a straight leg.  :2funny:   Maybe they're too tight in the middle area...? Or my thighs are too chunky...?  Anyway, my problem with jeans is that I have a spare tire, but small waist and small (okay, fine, sagggggy) butt and slightly larger thighs.  (Getting old and fat.  Two of the most evil-est combo out there!) It's hard to fine a pair of good jeans that fits everywhere.

Post by: DeceiversChick on March 22, 2012, 11:45:10 AM
thajyeeb -

Here are my thoughts:

Your outfits are fine and I think you’re good with mixing it up. If I could change anything, I would put a darker denim on you. Or perhaps wear straight leg/slightly cropped pants in black or a nice cream or light khaki color now that spring is here.

The only look I didn’t love was the print on print. Maybe I need to see it in person but I didn’t love it. LOL!

I love the pink cardigan w/ black&white though!

As far as accessories - I tend to wear a lot of accessories because my clothes are pretty solid so I layer the accessories on to change it up a big. If I’m wearing anything printy or too busy then I don’t do accessories at all, maybe just a bracelet if anything. But on most days, I wear necklaces – long, short, chunky, pendant, etc…

I agree with the fitted and slight cropped pants.

So, here are some mixing of prints and patterns I found on the web.  I never actually liked it before and always thought, how ugly, when I see people mix patterns.  But, after much digging into it and looking around the web -- and watching Mondo do it on Project Runway last season, I was really intrigued.

I'd love to be able to mix and match prints and patterns like this one day:

Mondo's work

Anyway, you get the idea.  Mix and match, with a bold color splash.  I don't know if this something that I can actually pull off, but I like the concept of it.

well, yes, quite true.......... ..these were made for models, and they're all slim and skinny -- and TALL.  I was just showing you guys the concepts of mixing patterns and stuff.  It's not that you should go around looking like a bowl of Trix or Fruit Loops cereal.  You would have to be picky and choose pattern wisely according to taste, construction and how it flatters you in areas that you wish to hide or accentuate.

LMAO, I'mwith you. I refuse to mix patterns cause I'm a chunky gal. It will make me look very npaj nauj and ruam. It's more fitting for skinny chicks. I guess I'll stick to solid colors. I do wear some tops with beads/some kind of design but only on a certain area and not all over the top.

But how would you know if it flatters you when you do look like a bowl of trix? I have no sense of fashion so i wouldn't be able to tell if it does flatter me or not. I may think it does but everyone else doesn't. I dont' have any fashion sense friends who can give me advice so if it looks ugly on me I'm going to stay away from it. lol

I don't think that's true at all.  I used to think that too, but, that's just because we see it on runway models all the time, so it's more ingrained in our heads.  But I like patterns and prints now more than solids and I'm not a skinny chick by any means! 

Here's a blog you can look at for inspiration:  http://www.tminus-tplus.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

I love how she's not afraid to be big and bold.  Some of the outfits don't work, imo inexperience eyes, but most of them do work and she looked fabulous.  When they do work, you don't see all the lumps and bumps...you see a smooth silhouette, with curves in the right places.  I'm not a big gal like her, but I like her blog nonetheless.

Well, I don't know how but if you keep trying, eventually, you'll learn what works for your body and what doesn't.  By now, you should've came across all these "rules" about stripes, what type of clothings works best for your body shape, and what type of fabric looks good, what cut accentuates and flatters you, and you stick with those basics.  Plus, you don't have to go from head to toe in prints or patterns.  I'm not quite there yet... it takes some getting used to.  I started with tshirt and blouses, then cardigans and then adding on skirts.  I haven't even gone into the shoes or scarfs or bags ---or pattern nylons.  Start small and simple and build from there.  

You can read about the rules of mixing patterns, colors and such.  I just started about a year ago and I'm not that good at it but at least, I'm trying. There's a lot of information out there if you really want to learn, then you go start with what you have in the closet and then eventually to the store to try them on!  

In T-minus, T-plus blog, she has a page on mixing patterns and colors.  You can search for other blogs too.
Here's the page on the mixing patterns:

Subtle prints like chains, architectural designs, simple 2-color plaids, tweeds are all flattering. 

Also, I'm learning that the better quality of the fabric, the better construction of it, the extra details to the lining, darts, boning etc -- they all really make a big difference! But they cost more $$$$!

Yes I like this too! I always shy away from animal-looking print, like that skirt, but that actually looks really nice.  

Also, you don't have to mix and match print from head to toe like the pictures I posted -- this toning down a big print is a basic concept that I use.  If I have a big floral cardigan, I tone it down by wearing a solid shirt underneath. or vice versa.

That's how I prefer to do my prints too... but they can't be too busy or I look like I just keep on expanding.

I only buy brands that I own already... and only in styles and cuts that I know fits my body.  I have taken a few risks... and discovered some really awesome brands... such as the Nicola Berti Leather jackets... which I love... he will become super high end some day.. but for now, I buy most of his stuff that I see on ebay... lolz...

Not a huge fan of leather, but you talking about it makes me want to wear them in this hot weather! Stop it already! :D

Not great at it, but I'm okay with mixing solids and certain prints only. Some of you ladies are SO lucky to get to wear open-toed pumps. Not me. :'( Here's what I'm wearing today:

LuLus Fuchsia Cropped Jacket

This pretty cobalt ruffle dress I just got in the other day from modcloth.com. Very comfy! I just paired this with a plain pink skinny belt I picked up from the thrift some time ago.

And Fergie stilettos in hot pink!


Anemone, love the nail polish choices. I only go neutral with the nails because I never make enough time to change it with my outfits accordingly. :( Maybe I should start doing it just so I can post up pictures too, lol. :D

Constructive criticism is not bad.

I would not mind at all if anyone gave me feedback on how I dressed. In fact, I welcome it! I think we can all learn something from each other. What I think looks awesome on my body might not be true, maybe I just think it looks awesome because I’m so comfortable with it and when we get comfortable, we don’t step outside our comfort-zone.

I rather someone be honest with me than try to sugar coat it and tell me I look “great” all the time without any real feedback.

Heck, I might start posting my daily wears again. I still need to find what works well for me, how to style my clothes, etc…

thajyeeb, I think you're on to something here.  O0

I'm still learning how to style clothes and love feedback too.

I like that color and I'm sure it'll look good on you.  But I was looking at the lapels and thinking, how big are they? The points seems too long (more than half way across the front of the shoulder) and too big for my small shoulders.

Confession time: I get too absorbed and immersed in this blog.  I go there when I want to rip up some beautiful models (or actresses) in expensive dresses that I can't afford.  *sigh*  I think that's why I'm looking at clothes and styling with new eyes.  When I look at a celebrity, they look fabulous to my untrained eyes, but TLo always find something b!tchy to critique say about their outfits and they're always right!

LOL! I did critique you!

But I think this is really great what we just started doing. This is going to inspire me to put outfits together to see what you gals think! I am not fashionable or trying to stay hip or anything like that. My main goal is to make sure I still look nice, despite being a working mother, housewife, etc... A woman should never use it as an excuse to not look nice, you know what I mean?

Plus like I said before, it's good to hear other people's opinion. I am open to change and ideas. What I think looks great on me - might not be so.

Yes you did and I've written it all down, along with the clothing stores that were suggested and what I found online

but what about Reload Wife's outfits? And what about accessories for me?? I'm pairing colors, but I don't know what to do with accessories. I hate wearing necklaces.  When I put on a necklace with earrings, all I see is the necklace and the earrings popping out, I dont even see my me or my outfit anymore.

I have to set a budget now. Makeup budget and clothes budget.   :2funny:

Anemone - You're too sweet. The clothes does a good job of hiding my tummy fat and rolls.  My nude pumps are a bit bigger on me so I'm in the search for a better nude pump. I saw some on the target websites but I am not to sure about the pump. I would love to get a pair from Ann Taylor but it too expensive for me.

I'm with both of you guys on this too. I would like to look nice, but limited budget and hard to find pieces that fit.  I've started to do my own tailoring, simple things like hemming pants and pulling in straps and side seams on a simple top. 

You ladies are really into the ensembles!   ;)

Should guys be more attentive, ladies?  I mean, one can slob out so much, right?  Thanks.
I don't know about the guys. My husband used to dress pretty sloppy for work, until he got promoted to a project manager.  We threw out all his old shirts and pants and got new ones, more fitted for his body.  Before, he bought whatever was on the clearance rack whether they fit or not... most of the times, they were ill-fitting.  And ugleeeee!  Now, he looks so much more put together and he likes it!   ;D

Here is another blog I visit regularly.  Look into the Body Proportions, Body Shapes and Body Variations tabs.  If you don't know your body shape, that'll help you figure it out.

She also goes into the fashion rule of thirds and how to build a column of color for your body shape.  Very helpful indeed.

Def my favorite of the 3. This is the best season to wear bright, fresh colors! I love that skirt of yours. It reminds me of floral watercolors.

The necklace looks nice on you!, but it wouldn't have been my preference. Instead, I may pair it with layered, spacious beaded necklaces or a simple floral necklace like this one here for a romantic and vintage feel O0:

Pretty casual today with Friday. And more solid on solid. I looked in my closet last night and I guess I don't have as many prints as I thought I did! Maybe that means I should go shopping this weekend.  :)

I’m wearing a black chiffon blouse with dark-washed Levi jeans, these are straight leg jeans, the closest I’ll ever get to wearing skinny jeans. LOL

Decided to go with my favorite black heels today. And I threw on a gold/emerald necklace.

If you guys are looking for blogs for inspiration – I really like this one. She’s really petite and I’m nowhere near her size, but her outfits are inspiring so I check her blog regularly. I love her styling. If I was her size, I’d totally sport her clothes. LOL

I also like that she mix and matches affordable pieces with expensive pieces. Most of her clothes are from H&M or Gap, etc… She wears Target heels but she also sports expensive CL heels. I never shopped at H&M much until I started reading her blog – that’s when I realized that H&M does have some nice and affordable pieces.

I agree with the ladies. The maxi skirt looks soooooo nice. From what I've seen, it's usually a skinny belt that gets paired with the maxi.

I don't think I can pull off this look. I'm very petite. If I wore this, it will drag on the ground or I'll look like a ghastly ghost/ poj dab. LOL!! :2funny:

Anemone, would love to see you style your maxi look too.

Post by: Reload Wife on March 23, 2012, 02:47:48 PM
RL, I love that you're experimenting!

I love the colors but I'm not sure if I like the shoe and belt combo....to me something is off about it? Maybe black is not the best color? Or maybe the belt is too wide? Let me study it some more. But I LOVE that skirt on you. You are slim that you can totally pull this off. If I tried to wear this skirt, I'd ridiculous! LOL

Also, I would have liked you to open your shirt up some more and put your necklace inside the shirt rather than over so you can expose the necklace on your skin (does that make sense).

But totally love what you're doing! This is great!

Who takes your photos for you? :)

I will try to post better photos of my daily wear but it's kind of challenging. I don't own a full length mirror at home. The only person who prob photograph me is my husband but gosh... how do I ask him? LOL!!!

Anemone, thank you for the recommend. I was thinking of a lighter belt but didn't have one that work with the skirt.  There is so much extra fabric on the skirt that a skinny belt didn't work well. It make me look frumpy so I reach for the wide belt.

As for the necklace, I'll did that next time =)

My husband is my photographer. He usually join me for lunch.

Yeah, I am 4' 10" and I love maxi dresses too... but gotta keep trying... materials makes a big difference... for me, it's brands... I can only wear certain brands...

But you're slim RL so you look really thin and tall.

I'm not slim so for sure I'll look funny. Trust me.  ;D

And how did you meet Jean? She seems really sweet! I think her styling is awesome and she looks really great in whatever she wears. I wish I can pull off skirts like her and look cute. Urgh. But I have short, white legs so it's a no-no for me. LOL!!!

Anemone... you are skinnier than me... but if you have big thighs, then high end brands will work better... I loved a pleated black one from the Limited... but it was $90...and a few weeks later went on sale, but I missed it.

Reload, I hope you don't mind. I took the liberty of your picture and tried to upgrade this outfit.  I tried to look for a top for that maxi skirt that would go with your body shape.  You're definitely on the skinny side, and it appears that you have a long torso with boxy shoulders, which is why you look good in belted outfits and with your shirts tucked in.  

So here are some choices that I thought would take that skirt up a notch or two. All of these tops are to make you look curvy because they have a defined waist.  And because your skirt is a solid color, I thought you could pair it up with a printed top that already has a cinched-in waist with other interesting details to make a nice flow with the skirt.  Again, personally, I'm trying to stay away from the solid-on-solid look, so that's why I'm not too keen on the outfit.

You have long dark hair, so it will give an illusion of height with the black from the background of this blouse.  There's a yellow trim that compliments the teal color of your skirt and brings more spring color to your palette, and then white polka dots to add visual interest to the top and to give you a fuller bust line.
(http://ak2.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/mask/1/size/orig/tid/52781186.png)

Brown and teal is a great color combo - you see it in almost every designs from interior decorating to pillows to beddings to clothings.  I thought it would be a classic combo to pair it with this brown top.   The white/brown print shrug with the belt-in waist gives just a hint of sex appeal because it gives the illusions of curves.
(http://ak1.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/mask/1/size/orig/tid/52788652.png)

If you want to keep it soft and toned down the way you have it styled originally, then I think this white top would do nicely! It has the cinched-in waist, with flouncy sleeves and a little visual focus around your neck.  It looks very romantic and feminine!
(http://ak1.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/mask/1/size/orig/tid/47379371.png)

Then, lastly, I found this piece that has some analogues and complimentary colors to the teal skirt. You can see that the teal color is picked up in the shirt and makes the skirt and the blouse flow together.  The only thing I don't like are the sleeves and the lenght of the blouse.  The sleeves are too big and full.  And the lenght of the blouse is just an inch too long.  If I owned this piece, I would definitely bring up the hem on the blouse about an inch and alter the sleeves to be a little shorter and less full.
(http://ak1.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/mask/1/size/orig/tid/38772677.png)

Well, that's all I could do today.  I don't know if you like the suggestions or even the prints, but let me know what you think of the concept -- the cinched in waist, a little attention-getting print that brings the focus up to the face, colors combo and curve appeal.

(Sorry, I did not have time to scope our some accessories, this was way more time-consuming than I thought it would!)

Thajyeeb,

I don't think those two last shirts would work... the top needs to be slim... b/c the skirt is flouncy...

I have tried shirts in the cut of the first one with flouncy skirts and for some reason, it just doesn't look right... maybe if tucked in...I do like the idea of black and white with teal though...
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?

Thajyeeb,
Thank you so much for the suggestions. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this. I like the first and second top.  I think that I pair the other tops with the skirt I will need up looking frumpy because their is too many extra fabric.  I didn't realize that I have a long torso. Thank you again for this information.

The skirt is flouncy from the sheer chiffon, but not full or volumnious.  And the these tops were suggested for Reload's body shape (long waist, slim and boxy shoulders), so it would give her a define waist and some curves on top.

To me, it looks like you have a short waist (as I am), so these would never look good on us because it will make us look even shorter.  The attention is focused at the waist, and we actualy want no attention there.  We want the attention to flow down our torso and right past the short waists.  So, no belts, no side pockets or zippers, no tucking in shirts or any other designs that brings the focus to our short waist.   Anyway, I never look good in belted items because it looks like I'm cut in two.

Those are my favorites too.  I only added the other because a) the white of the 3rd and b) the color coodination of the 4th piece.  And by that time, I was too tired of looking....  :2funny: :2funny:

And you're welcome. I hope I'm correct about your boxy shape.  Try on different variations of styles to see if you better in one fit than the other.  That's what I did...so I know I am a short waisted person...  :'(

Mrs. Vang, you are not old at all. I think you have a classy and chic fashion and you dress according to your age, which is good.  Ever see Mariah Carey dress in junior sizes??  It's hidous and embarassing.

Anyway, I like your style, but not the ones with the halter tops and the tank top.  If you have big busts and you want to maximize them, then I guess that is the way to go.  Wear something tight across the top to bring focus to the girls.   But if you want to minimize them and bring your attention to your face (and not have them stare at the two girls as some of us were doing hahahaha me included  :2funny:), then wear something with the neckline like the one with the pussy bows.  Plus, a big necklace with a v-neck top will also bring focus up and away from the girls.

Also, some of us can't sport pussy bows because it probably makes us feel old because we associate those images with schoolmarms and librians.  When I wear one, it makes me feel very mature and studious-looking, like I'm the class president or soemthing. LOL!

Okay, so I decided to play dress up today, too... but darn, it's very tiring!  LOL 

Just some of my usual work clothes.  I wear a lot of slacks and suits too, but I'm too tired to dress up now.  By the way, I forgot to change jewelries. :D

OK, so after posting a pix of a sexy work outfit in Calypso's thread yesterday, I have decided to wear a version of my own sexiness... something I am willing to wear that might be considered sexy work wear.

1.  Emmanuel Ungaro Lace Pencil Skirt
2.  Sears sequinned black tank (could not find a plain black shirt in my rush)
3.  Dana Buchman black leather moto jacket
4.  Born Knee-Hi heel boots

I can do sexy with an edge, but I can't do sexy sweet...

Shesaid,

That Dana Buchman was among the first few leather jackets that I bought and it was the SECOND one that I really really really like.  The first one is also by Dana Buchman - Lime green... but I don't think I have a pic of it.... well, I do a tiny bit... not the full look... let me go and grab it.  Both of these go with pretty much anything.

Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: LadyLionness on April 08, 2012, 11:32:22 PM
The thing I love about color blocking is that you can do it with separates... which you can use again in another season, with another trend... I probably won't buy any already made color blocking pieces b/c this is too strong of a trend and will be easily dated... I would use these as ideas for creating color blocking with things I have in my closet already or in adding a few more pieces that can be used by themselves season after season.
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?

Post by: go-go on April 09, 2012, 03:04:03 PM
Funny how I thought wearing bright color with another bright color was "clash-y" .  And on top of that, some colorblocking outfits I've seen reminded me of how "colorful" Hmongs dressed in the early days of coming to the US (MTT, fobby, etc).  Everyone was in different colors, probably mismatched from head to toe, in a group of 10+ walking to a store or somewhere....  :2funny:  And now it's a "trend" heheheheh

Seriously now, I do like some color blocking dress that are like optical illusions where they accentuate your curves or de-centuate them...and I like them simple, two color or something with a neutral color in it.

 Been busy so haven’t shared in a while but here’s Monday –

Pink t-shirt
Black ankle pants
Navy blue blazer
Mint green & pink strand necklaces
Black open toe heels

Here’s a really bad photo I quickly took in the work bathroom this morning. I still need practice on taking self-portrait in the mirror. I didn’t have time to play with the camera settings so I just set it on auto, I tried flash but it came out horrible as well. Anyhow, you get the picture.

In person, the pink and navy combo looks nice. Maybe I’ll try another picture later.

RL, love that skirt! My goal this summer is to wear more skirts. I used to wear skirts quite a bit and have so many (like 40+ in my closet!). But after I had my baby, I put on some weight so I haven't worn them much. Now I just need to tan my legs so I can start wearing skirts again. LOL

BTW, I love the AT Perfect Pump! It's on my want-list.

I love my AT Perfect Pump.  I have two pairs and bought them on sale otherwise they pricey.

I'm going to my skirts and dresss phrase. I found that skirt and dresses are more flattering on me than pant .

So please, let’s share pictures! :)

I love browsing NY & Co for blouses.

Technically, I was out of the office today for training so it was a very, very casual day for me. Quick shot:

Piperlime cardigan, brown (This is one of my favorite cardigans. It's so soft and comfy.)
VS bootcut jeans
Gap long sleeve tee, black
Alfani boots, black

I need to start accessorizing more. The only jewelry I wear is a gold necklace.

Forever 21 is a store I would mainly get tops and blazers there but since I don't work so no tops but blazers to pull it off with jeans or slack/pant is what I usually get to wear year round.

Anemone, thank you for the recommend. I was thinking of a lighter belt but didn't have one that work with the skirt.  There is so much extra fabric on the skirt that a skinny belt didn't work well. It make me look frumpy so I reach for the wide belt.

As for the necklace, I'll did that next time =)

My husband is my photographer. He usually join me for lunch.

Good thing your husband don't mind snapping photo of you when asked......... . My husband would give me weird looks but my little ones can never go wrong and love playing with my camera here and there.  I couldn't find my camera for almost 2 weeks and on the day I told my kids whoever find it will get $20 and only to end up having my 5 yo. son finding and still asking me for his money these day.

All your outfits are great.  For me to be dressing like that I must work otherwise I don't want to have a closet full of clothes for no reason but I might start shopping a little here and there vs. grabbing something out of my daughter closet.

Just found this thread.. Wow.. Nice.. thanks for sharing..  O0

Ed,

I hope you will contribute too... farmer overalls are so sexy... lolz...

Asia:  I love leather jackets... I hope to photograph them all... hehehehe... very recently, I had to reassess my love of leather... could not figure out why I love it so much, especially now that I am growing older and am supposed to dress more like an old lady... lolz... then I saw pix of me as a teenager... as young as 12 and 13... wearing leather and lace... and realized that I have had a long long long love affair with leather... and that I will probably be buried wearing leather... and lace... lolz!

I heard you ladies talk a lot about Forever 21 and H&M... so I tried some things on over the weekend... I really don't care for the fit and material... they make me look fat and short... lolz.

I do love Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft... especially their cardigans and jeans... and blazers... they are the perfect length for my short torso.

I like New York and Co for their button down shirts... but over that phase... I am into plain V-Necks ands graphic T-shirts...


Blazers and jackets, I still prefer quality...  I don't like the materials and fit of forever 21 or H&M... they don't nip in my body like Ellen Tracy, Ralph Lauren, Tahari, Ann Taylor, Michael Kors, Tommy Hifiger, and Anne Klein...

Forever 21 and H&M are only for cheap buy if you don't mind for the material.  Maybe, I'll played dress up this weekend and snap some photo since I'm already back to my old self/size after 1 week or more like I never have to work out to get back in shape after my pregnancy.  Maybe I'll get some picture of my daughter up because she can pull of scarf, cardigan, etc.

Alright Ladies! I'm sharing today....proba bly the only day that I will dress up because we have VIPs coming this morning....
otherwise, I'd be in some comfy capri and sandals.  :D

I wanted to wear something with spring colors, so I knew I wanted to wear the yellow pencil skirt, but didn't really have anything to go with it except black and I didn't want to do the typical black/yellow color combo.  So I thought of this purple top and it was just right since they are complimentary colors.  And then to go with the purple top, I didn't want to resort to the usual black (again), so I pulled out these muted red pumps that I got from Marshalls. 

I don't think I look toooooo colorful...... ...right??

Anyway, now that I'm at the office, I feel too overdressed because the 2 VIPs that came dressed in khakis and polos.   :2funny: :2funny:

I'm wearing an orange top with striped black dress pants. Ugh, I've gained too much weight it's embarrassing posting my photo's up.

LMFAO that's what I did today too. Not posting mine up either, lol. My tank top is kinda tight, so my muffin tops are showing, even though I'm wearing a cardigan on top. haha.

I'll just describe my outfit too then.  ;D

White cardigan (GAP), tank top with tan, coral, blue, and magenta designs from Banana republic, dark blue denim jeans (The Limited) and tan open toe flats (Target?).

uh, no.  I hate stockings!  I think what's throwing off this look is the difference in cotton grade.  I don't know the correct terms, but the top is too plain and too casual while the skirt is too dressy.  That's what I'm thinking.  If I had a different purple top made from finer cotton blends, that might make the outfit look more cohesive.

DC and Asdfghkj -- you guys better stop it!!! I'm not in perfect shape either.   :2funny:  Underneath these clothes, there are lumps and bumps!!  :2funny: :2funny:

Those of you that are afraid to post up photos because of your body – ummm, hello… look at me! I am far from having a nice body but I also know that I am not the only one who has body issues and we as women, ALL struggle with body consciousness and self-image.

For example, that photo I just posted. It took a lot of balls for me to post this one up. I took this this morning and it was the only shot I got because people started coming into the bathroom and well, geesh… I was standing there in the mirror with a phone! LOL…

My plan was to go back and take a more flattering shot and maybe suck in my tummy. That's why it took me so long to post my daily wear today, cause I wanted a better/flattering picture of myself for ya'll! But after I saw the postings here with some of you not wanting to share pictures. I thought…oh screw that, let all of PH see the real me, frumpy and all. LOL!!!  :2funny:

You can see my tummy sticking out and I’m sure the looseness of the shirt didn’t help either because it made my tummy look even bigger than is. Plus, I hate my wrist/arms…it’s short and stubby. And I can go on and on…. I'm sure to some, my photo looks fine - but to me, I know it's there!

My point is....we all have issues.


HOORAH!!!

Yep, I have lots of issues with my body too and I wasn't going to post mine up at all, but I thought, what the heck! I might not put on a skirt again for another month or two.... :2funny:  I have flabby arms and fat legs, and my kid took my picture giving me weird looks and said "you're not going to post this up, are you, mom?!"  ;D Like it was hideous or uncool.  And look, my boobs are going down south and they ain't coming back up!!!!   :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:  I wanted her to take another picture from another angle to make them look perkier or stand differently so that my fat legs don't look so fat....but no such luck! She ran out of the room already  LOL

Lavender and Asia, nice.  :) Thanks for sharing.
I love browsing NY & Co for blouses.
Technically, I was out of the office today for training so it was a very, very casual day for me. Quick shot:
Piperlime cardigan, brown (This is one of my favorite cardigans. It's so soft and comfy.)
VS bootcut jeans
Gap long sleeve tee, black
Alfani boots, black
I need to start accessorizing more. The only jewelry I wear is a gold necklace.
 
I have the same issue I need to learn how to accessorize.  I love your outfit it simple, comfortable and cute.

Anemone inspires me to get accessories. I enjoy wearing accessories ....it's a different feel.
Reload Wife, I like your classic style.  I don't have the body to wear that classic sytle.  Then sometimes I think thin people look good in just about anything.  :)   O0
Thanks Lavender.  I truly believe that anyone can wear the classic style. I have a former supervisor who was on the heavy side and her outfits were very polish and professional.  The classic style looks great on her.  Just because I’m skinny doesn’t mean that I will look good in just about anything. I try to find the clothes that work well with my body type. I have misses and hit outfit too.

Brown and lime green.
Pant from Express
Tops:  I think from JCPenny
Accessories: Forever21

I like this outfit. I think it will look better if the top is tucked in.

Thajyeeb – Thank you for contributing. I love the color combination. I believe it better to be overdress than under.  There is a saying that says that “you should dress for the job you want and not the one you have”.

DC & asdfghjhl- Don’t think that way. I’m sure you look find.
Anemone –OMG you got the pant for $4. I wish I was that lucky.   The red top looks god with your outfit.

I agreed with Anemone. I may be skinny but I do not have a perfect body. I carry most of my weight on on my thighs and  stomach. I try to wear clothes that hides my stomach fats. Additional I have really skinny arms.  We all have issues.

I used to be scare of wearing bright colors.  Recently I have been adding more bright color to my wardrobe. I don't mind wearing bright color to work but I will not wear them out in the Hmong Community.

Hmong tend to NOT understand style and to exaggerate things... which is why I don't wear red lipstick to Hmong functions...

However, why can't you wear that outfit in the Hmong community?  I looks great!

Reload Wife, I used to not wear bright colors too but black/gray/navy got boring so I've been incorporating brights into my wardrobe slowly. I usually just go with a brightly patterned tank top under a solid colored cardigan.

or i wear bright nail polish, as you can see in my picture above  ;D

asdfghjkl and RW,
Thanks for sharing.  I'm not really into floral print and most of my clothes are solid but I think I'd like to sport some smaller print floral.  I'm not a dress person too. Only have about two evening dresses and two summer dresses in my closet and they've never been worn. hahaha... Probably will wear the summer dresses when I head out to CA next week.  will post photos when I returned.

tomorrow is casual friday so jean and T-shirt! O0

Be sure to take lot of photos to share with us.

Your job seems pretty busy so it wouldn't be practical to show up in a suit. hehe But it always pays to look professional. That's why i don't go all out casual like some of my coworkers (hoodies? srsly? tennis shoes??) i want to look like i made an effort.  :D

Asdfg, you posted! Yeah. See that wasn’t so bad. And I don’t know what you were so afraid of, you look fine! I like the colors of that top! I need to get more printed tops like that.

RW, oohhh… I like the classic dress/cardigan pairing here. It looks great! I think you topped it off nicely with a touch of that necklace. And I like the colors! You pull this off beautifully so don’t be afraid to wear colors like this out and about!


Thanks. I love wearing colors to work. The brights colors make the gloomy day more cheerful. However I don't wear bright colors when I attend a Hmong Community event because I will end up sticking out like a sore thumb.

No accessories at all. I'm allergic to nickel or whatever it is so I never wear accessories.  :'(

Alright... my style... no matter what I am wearing... I always try to put in an element of elegance into it... which is why I can't shop from stores like Forever 21 and H&M... the clothes look the same... but they lack that touch of elegance.  I always try to include ONE classic piece as well... or at least one expensive piece... last but not least... I have learn to re-incorporate a dark edge back into my wardrobe... b/c straight classic and elegance tend to age me and is boring... so I always thry to throw an edge in to make it more interesting.

Classic Elegance with an Edge

So, do you ladies agree or disagree?

Interesting.   ;D

Have to have balance.  Not very often is it an "all out balck suit/red tie" thing.   ;)

Like I've alluded to many times before...a simple tee, a sportcoat, loose denim - heck even with leather flip flops on. 

I agree... that is very nice.

quite honestly, I don't spend much time shopping for myself cause I rarely fit into clothes since I gained weight. lol  Now shoes is a different story. I'm starting to buy shoes once a month now since I love shoes. eheheh

Shoes, I only buy what I need... to create a certain style or go with certain clothes... of course, that is still 20 to 30 paris... but for the most part... I don't have too many shoes.  It's jackets and blazers that I want to buy everything I see...

For some reason I love shoes and buy it quite often. I dont spend a lot of money but I have to have it. I've been pretty good for the last year but just recently I've started an impulse buy again.

For the last month I bought 3 new shoes. Well one is my flat shoes. One of my flat shoes magically disappeared so I needed another one. Then when I went to get a new flat shoes, it was too tight so I returned it for a bigger size and found a nine west wedge. They didn't have my size so I went and ordered it online. Then I bought another pair of nude heels from target. LOL

I'm all about accessories and I have tons!

Since I'm home today, I'll post a picture of my accessories. Let me go clean up my jewelry chest first. LOL ;D
I start to purchase accessories after seeing your pictures.  They add a nice touch to the outfit. 

I don't have good taste in them....I mostly opt for black and white necklaces.  I think pearl necklaces look nice in every outfit.  It's my favorite.  :)

I also like silver...they look nice as well especially with black.

I agree with the edge part because you do a lot of the leather trenches, and I always associate long trenches as very edgy. LOL

I also think you try to stay youthful - or at least that's what I get out of it. You dress mature but with all the colors you experiment with, you want to put a little youth in it to blend it up, instead of say always wearing black or gray.

On the youthful part.. I try not to dress too young... b/c that will age you faster than anything else... lolz... but you are right in that I do like a more youthful look to my clothes... and I can usually add that in with edgy pieces... in a way, I want to build a ageless wardrobe... something people in their 20's could wear... something I could wear now in my 30's... and that I could still wear when I am in my 40's in the next few years... dayem... I ma getting old... lolz...

As for colors... I used to have a black/ grey/ and just very dark neutral colors... but they get boring fast... I guess I have a bit of an artist in me and bright colors tend to cheer me up... so I do colors where it will compliment my body and not take away from it or augment it.

 :2funny: I just can't keep up with you ladies!

Anyway, to answer LL's question, I am not classy, or trendy even though I love to look at fashion magazines and read fashion blogs.  I guess I'm a minimalist - I tend to buy clothes that won't go out of style by next year, so I look for classic staples and in classic colors so that I do a lot of mix-n-match.  I do have some trendy pieces, but very few. And I find that the trendy pieces that I do have, I usually end up not wearing them after a few months and they get thrown in the backburner.  Like Asia, I also don't accessorized with jewelries and such because they simply get in my way!  :2funny:   I'm always on the phone, or running about, so I can't have earrings that will interfer with the phone, or dangling earrings that gets caught or makes noises.  I can't stand bangles that moves up and down my arm whenever I move.  And I walk fast, so I don't like a long piece of necklace flapping about my chest as I walk.  *sigh* I know, I have so many pecularities.  I need my clothes to be clean, efficient and almost tailored because I dont like bunching up my sleeves or the pant legs. I don't usually add any statement pieces unless it's a special occassion that calls for it - like going to a brunch with some girls that will go all out, or going to a wedding, etc.  And when going out with a bunch of girls, we do get all sexied-up, but I don't usually skank it up (like DC said LOL!) I always have a sense of modesty around me because you never know who you're going to meet at these places!

Post by: LadyLionness on April 27, 2012, 12:41:59 PM
LL, back to your question... I would describe my style as simple, classic, and maybe preppy.

I've always been into clothes. My mom said when I was a kid, I'd change like 20x a day. When I was younger my style was definitely preppy. I grew up in a mainly white town so I am sure that influenced it. I was voted Best Dressed when I graduated high school.

College wasn't too different - I shopped mainly stores like Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Gap. Looking back, when I was in my 20s I think I was dressing too old for my age though. Now that I'm in my 30s, I feel like I'm dressing younger than I was when I was 20-something.  ;D

I'm not fashionable or trendy though and I don't intend to be either. I like to be comfortable but still look nice.

I am with you on the trendy stuff... and I do value comfort above all else.  When I was married to my ex... he picked all my clothes ... 4 sets every 6 months with one pair of 1 inch heel pump... and in my 20's... he had me dressed like the 50 year old hmong church ladies... hehehe...

So, it took me a long time to recapture my style... and looking back... I am veering back towards leather and lace again... I have always been unique in my clothing.... I would buy something ordinary and alter it to suit my own taste and to make it different.

As for jewelry, I don't have too many pieces (in my opinion... lolz... I think my husband will beg to differ)... but I only buy real pieces... such as 14K gold or silver pieces... I don't even like to buy lab created jewels...

In the last year or two, I have started buying some cheap jewelry... but I hardly wear them... I just go back to my gold and silver pieces...

I use my blazers and jackets as accessories... can't y'all tell?  lolz... that and scarves...

DC,

Please allow us to see the whole shirt girl.  

Your shirt is pretty.  :)  Where did you get it?  

The shirt is from Express. No wonder I didn't remember cause I "rarely" shop at express. I usually don't fit the clothes but this top is stretchy so it fits. I bought this in 2011 so it might not be at the store anymore.

no they are not prom-ish dresses, I'm talking about cocktail dresses and evening wear types of dresses.  I will pair them with other pieces like you said, but that's to church and to some gatherings, etc, but what I meant was that I don't wear the same evening dress to another special evening occassion where we'll take tons of pictures because I don't want all my pictures from different events (maybe even from different years) to show me in the same dress!  makes sense?

 :D

So, ladies:  Thajyeeb, Reload's Wife, asdfjkl, Lavender, Asia, DC, and Anemone... how would you describe your style?

HPA:  You too, how would you describe your style?

I feel so behind.  I haven’t given much thought to my style. I am drawn to clothes that are feminine, classic and girly.  I love floral, lace and ruffles. I tried to dress accordingly to my age. Can you guess my age based on how I dress?
Though I do have shops that I always visit I don’t limited myself to only those stores.  I have found good clothes from Forever 21, H&M, Ross, Marshall ect.
I read lot of fashion blog and magazines but I'm not fashionable or trendy.  
If you would have met you 10 yrs you probably won’t recognize me today. My style evolved so much.
I like Bruce Lee philosophy of” The Style of No Style”. I know it has nothing to do with fashion but I like the idea behind. I don’t want to restrict myself to one style or trend. I like to find thing from each style, trend and Incorporate  them into my wardrobe .

I also have some jewelry that belonged to my grandmother that she gave me right before she passed away last year.  :'( And I just put my daughter's small necklaces here because they are tiny so don't want to lose them.

Nice collection.  I don't even have such thing at all.  I only have my diamond stud earring.  Not much of a jewerly person at all.  I also don't like to go through my daughter stuffs for anything.  I don't even have a single skirt or dress in my closet or even a black simple dress.  My church day are over so you would not see me in anything at all beside dress/slack pant with top.  I got rid of most blouses/tops in my closet over the year since I don't work and it just taking up space.

I'll see if I can snap my daughter collections later.

Kelly green as your leather jacket?  You can pull it off.......... I don't dress up so I don't know which color look best on me but simple color that can't go wrong that I have around when necessary to dress up are basically just brown, grey and black.  Only active wear would I have color from pink, purple, green, etc. but they are more on the side of not being bright bright but more of the darker tone color.

Dress to church:
Dress, Hmong design from Hmong Village store in MN.  $75  :-\
Top, black blazer from Forever21
Dark purple shoes from K-Mart.  I don't have a purple dress to go with the shoes but they are very comfortable.  So I bought them and wore them since the dress has purple design. 
Ankle bracelet from Wal-Mart.  I love ankle bracelet when wearing skirt or short pants.
Pearl necklace and earrings from Wal-Mart. 

Lol....I'm cheap like China.  ;D

Nice I see a lot of ladies these day are wearing a little of those Hmong fashion skirt or 2 piece set to church.  Along with those fashion purse too.  I find those purse are way too expensive when it got my sisters and I attention at a Hmong store once.

Love that outfit... hmmm... blazer wise...  for us ladies that have kids already, I find that Forever 21 and H&M's blazers simply don't do enough to nip in our shape... no sure how much your blazers cost... but the Limited blazers on sales for about $50 is not bad... and once you have determined your sizes in each brand... ebay is the best place to get nice designer blazers that do more our post baby bodies...

In regards to jackets... I like what she says here... so when I order jackets and blazers online, I made sure that the length of the jacket from bottom of collar, down the centerline to the bottom of the jacket is no more than 22 inches... It hits me perfectly at hip level like the picture on the left... and it's very flattering...

How low is "too low", and how high is "too high" when it comes to ladies and skirts.  Mid thigh?  3/4 thigh?   ???

 :D


2 inches above the knees is still consider decent.  Above that and it's not decent...
 
In the Hmong culture... I have gotten ding for wearing suits AT the bottom of my knees... lolz!

If you and your wife to be want to be respected and be viewed as two professional people who knows what they are doing... that dress is a little too short.  Yes, lots of Hmong ladies now wear skirts/ dresses that short to Hmong functions, but those women don't really care how they are viewed...
Watch the cleavage as well... and my husband tells me not to expose my shoulders... even with cap sleeve dresses, he tells me to wear a blazer or cardigan on top...

Dang.   :P

She has the attire needed, but sometimes it wouldn't hurt to push the envelope a bit, right?

Or not?   ???

Again, same as making a speech... gotta know who your audience is... and who you want to engage... I think there are more opportunities to glam up than not... if lots of Elders are going to be around, cater more towards them.  They don't know much about sexy or not... so she could wear something that skims the body, but at knee level...

I've never heard of a strapless dress being referred to as a shoulderless dress  :2funny:    I don't think Hmong people are THAT behind that wearing a strapless dress (or should I say shoulderless dress) is considered TOO extreme. As a matter of fact, some of the new modern Hmong clothing are strapless.

Everyone looks so fashionable! I'm afraid to show my pics now. I'm not that fashionable because I don't shop as much as some of you.  I usually reserve my budget to get fashionable clothes for the kids instead of myself. 
 
HPA, where do you do most of your shopping? Do you do online shopping much and do have much success with online shopping (for clothes)?  Also, all of your clothes seem to fit exceptionally well, do you have a tailor?  I can't imagine most stores would have your clothing size off the rack. I've revamped my husband wardrobe since he got promoted back in January and I've done all the local stores and department stores.  Where else should I be looking?  I'm also thinking of going to a local tailoring shop becuase I dont have time to tailor his clothes anymore, plus, I'm not too good!  Can you give any suggestions?  And shoes ------- I gotta get him off these grandpa looking shoes!  Damn stubborn man.  Thanks.

I basically wear the same thing too.  I mean, what you see above is what I typically wear on a daily basis to work.  A tshirt, a cardigan and capri with either flats or sandals.  I don't think that is being "fashionable" like you ladies who dressed up every day.  I think this workplace has made me very lazy and I like it!  :2funny:   But on the downside, I don't have a very trendy or fashionable wardrobe either. Just basic stuffs.

No. I don't usually wear blazers to work because it's just too much for the office (if you know what I mean).  My crummy co-workers will be giving me weird looks.  Also, it's too damn hot to wear a blazer all day long.  I save the dressier stuff for other functions.

Yep... I know exactly what you mean... hehehe... my work place is very casual too... that's why I wear my leather jackets and denim jackets more b/c they are more casual... I wear cardigans every once in a long while... but you ladies make me want to wear mine... hehehe...

I can't imagine wearing my leather jacket all day long in this heat. The cardigan has a 3/4 sleeve that is long enough to cover the chill in the morning, and then I can take it off when the sun is shining into my office in the afternoon.  This office is very casual to the point of being scruffy.  I'm not kidding....we're a bunch of hooligans!   :2funny:
 
Thanks, Reload Wife and Peachy! I don't know if this is a hot pink or a hot coral color.  I tend to think of it as hot coral. lol

Well, I do have a tailor touch up on the clothing.  Often enough, most men's clothiers will tailor to fit, even if it's off the rack.  I think a crisp, form fitting look is ideal, yet also functional, without breaks and obvious creases.  Smaller details are vital and would certainly add flavor.

Shoes, stay within budget but you find great footwear for awesome prices.  A guy should have his "everyday" suits, as well as those that hardly gets touched unless special occasions call for it.

Just my thought.
Ok, thanks.  I threw away all his old ill-fitting clothes and we got new, form fitting ones, with good design details and in colors that are more suited for him.  He does look much more put together and more polished.   I've just started looking into men's fashion blog and it's just as exciting to look at than women's fashion.
 
Still working on the shoes though... and have to get him fitted for more suits.

I would but I'm too chunky to show off a full look. Bits and pieces should suffice.

I bought the Loft top 2 weeks ago. It's actually my first time shoppin at Loft. Boy it was Expensive! I'm use to a top that is $30 but luckily it was BOGO so it came to around $75 for two tops.

Yes, Loft and Limited are expensive... but I like their clothes... and like Anemone... I don't ever buy anything full price... I always always wait for sales or only shop the clearance section... I don't buy trendy pieces... so it doesn't bother me if it is a bit out of style...
 
Shirt-wise... I don't think I have spend more than $15 per shirt...
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: DeceiversChick on May 02, 2012, 03:17:30 PM
Oh I love Loft! And yes, it can get pricey....heck, even I don't buy full price items. I am very frugal so I only buy it when it goes on clearance or if they have 40% off sales going on. Even $30 is a lot for me for a top, I would have to think about it.  ;D

Loft always has sales or discount days so I've learned my lesson to never buy anything full priced.

I think this thread is inspiring some to step outside their comfort zone and start exploring other stores. Like the other day when I was at Loft, I saw a Hmong woman come in (with her husband and kids) and it definitely looked like it was her first time there. She looked around and then left quickly after I saw her looking at the price tags of a couple tops. I was thinking to myself, "I wonder if she's a PHer? And she was inspired by the fashion thread".  ;D

You know I never thought of shopping in LOFT cause I always thought it was Poj Laus clothing. Little did I know I found a more mature attire to fit my age. The only reason why I went into Loft cause I have 1 top from Loft that I found at the Thrift Store and loved it. So then I decided to go there 2 weeks ago on my moa trip.

This thread is inspiring to me cause I'm finding clothes that are more appropriate for me. I feel like I'm still dressing like I'm in my early 20's. It's not a bad thing but I want to feel more mature, classy, and sophisticated. ehehehe

I bought the shirts full price (exception of bogo) since I needed some new spring tops so I didn't mind the price. Lesson learn so from now on I'm buying it when it's on sale.

I'm wearing the wedge today and my darn feet hurts! Ugh, it's expected since they are new and it's not broken into. You should check DSW. They have a ton of spring shoes in and wedges are very in right now. I'm tempted to get another pair but I'm holding off for now. eheheheh

Here's my second Loft Top. It's a Dark Navy Blue see through top with a white bottom attachment. I'm really into these light and see through top phase since it's spring. Plus it's a flowy shirt so it's not clingy to my rolls. lol

I took these photo's yesterday morning thinking I would wear it to work but didn't. I tried on the gold necklace and it didn't match so I took it off and wore it today instead.

This will give you ladies an idea of my style now. Simple and Springy - If that's even a style. lol

Lav, I like that printed dress. I like that you paired it with a blazer.

Asdfg, finally a body shot! Lol... I like the LC jeans. And the printed top!
That dress is 10 years old.  ;D
I just learned to coordinate it with the black blazer a couple weeks ago when my friend visited. 

In the past, I had white tops on.  :)  Not sure if white looks better or the black.  But I love the black blazer over it.

Post by: LadyLionness on May 03, 2012, 09:39:34 AM
Lav, with a busy print, black works better at "containing" the look... creating a frame.  White with busy print gives the illusion of continuously expanding... unless you are extremely slim and trim.

When I am in a good shape again, I would love to dress sophisticated and elegant, yet simple like you...but I am concerned about the the price tag. I have never really spent that much on clothes. Seems like the clothes you wear are mostly brand name. And, do you go shopping often for maintain your wardrobe?

I think I bought that particular tank top because it was dirt cheap. Probably $7 or under. But it's too flowy by itself (maybe I'll wear it again when I'm pregnant and super big, lol) so I had to belt it.

I have to practice taking mirror pictures. hahaha.

I try not to spend too much on clothes. I have a budget of $100 per month for clothes. I usually buy my clothes during sales. I love Ann Taylor and Loft additional 40% off sale. The only bad thing about waiting for sale is that most of the times the items I like are sold out in my size.  The Banana Factory dress here was on sale for $25. The shoes were $29 and the necklace from Forever was $9.80.

Reload Wife, I love your outfits.

---

Thanks LL. For most of the time, I lean towards the classic look for office wear. Although, I'm quite a big gal, I still like to wear fitting clothes.  ;D

This is what I wore to my interview. I decided not to wear my black suit jacket on top. I hope this wasn't too much, and hopefully, I got the position. 

Outfit
Vest: Maurices
Button up shirt: NY&Co
Skirt: Grace Elements
Shoes: Adagio
Pearl Earrings: Target
Watch: SmartHealth

Great outfit for the job interview. Good luck.

I try not to spend too much on clothes. I have a budget of $100 per month for clothes. I usually buy my clothes during sales. I love Ann Taylor and Loft additional 40% off sale. The only bad thing about waiting for sale is that most of the times the items I like are sold out in my size.  The Banana Factory dress here was on sale for $25. The shoes were $29 and the necklace from Forever was $9.80.

Back in the days when I was dressing up for work, I had a budget too.  But, I've quit doing that a few years ago when I got this job.  Now, I budget for skincare and makeup and put clothes in the backburner. After seeing and listening to you guys talk about your offices and saw what you ladies wore in this thread, I took a good, long look at my closet.  I basically have old stuffs from years ago (dresses are a different category).  Yes, I can mix and match to make outfits for work, but nothing really new and nothing really eye-catching.  And it's very limiting as to what I can do with what I have.  I can't believe that I've gotten into such a rut.  I still love the capri and flip flop look but I think I'll start to set aside a budget for clothes again. Today is the beginning of that .....as I just went to JCP during lunch and bought some stuff!   :2funny:    And I will attempt (note the italic!) to dress up at least 2 or 3 days out of the week.  This thread is inspiring me to do that.

So busy today at work but gotta make some quick time for PH!  ;D

Here's my outfit today - pretty casual.

Black/white butterfly print tshirt - F21
Black ankle pants - Talbots
Turquoise blazer - Lauren Conrad for Kohls (looks so washed out here but it's actually a nice blue/green)
Black open toe heels - Aldo
Silver bracelet - F21
Oversized ring - H&M

I wore a scarf with today's outfit but I took it off briefly and went to take a picture and forgot to put it on. Oh well, the outfit looks cuter with the scarf on, so it's not so plain. LOL

TY, I'm with you. I feel that for the last few years I'm in a rut as well.

However I think this year I'm realizing I need to dress up a little bit to make myself look more appealing. Well this is only for work but once i'm home im in PJ's and hair is tied up. LOL

I can't see myself all glammed up going to the store or gettin gas. It's not me.

Ok Ladies, I'll go home today and post up a top that looks like a dress ( don't know what it is called lol) I have that I LOVE. I want to find a way to wear it to work without overdressing. My workplace is Business Casual but I feel the top is too much. Every morning I wake up and look at the top but can't seem to find a way to incorporate it into my work wardrobe. I've only worn the top out clubbing with black skinny jeans and heels. I don't feel comfortable wearing it to work since it has a small slit to the shoulder and with black skinny jeans. Who knows it may just be appropriate for clubbing or a girls night out.  :2funny:

I'm thinking I might hem it so it's shorter but unsure. I'll need your advice once i post it up later.

It's called a Tunic and you should try it with sharp black dress pants... and high heel boots.

RW, looking good last night with your cocktail dress! So classic and simple. I think I have like 5-6 dresses like that just because they are so good to have around. But since I've had my baby, I haven't been able to fit into them. LOL! Love the play up of the necklace and shoes!  O0

I don't shop much for clothes at Francesca but I love their accessories! The clothes are cute but they are still kinda pricey for me. I always look for their little corner of sales/clearance but whatever is left is sooo big in size or too tiny! I like how you wore the dress as a top though! I don't think I can ever pull that off because the 'excess' material will be too bunched up for me since I already have enough going at the waistline. LOL

Peachy, hope you got the job! You look very polished!

I can't get enough sheath dress. I love how they are so versatile. You can wear them to work or dress them with accessories for a night out or event.

I love Francesca's but will have to agree that it pretty pricey. The dress is the only one I have from Francesca's.

And what are you talking about waist line. You looks fine. It's not hard to wearing a dress as a top.  The key thing to remember is that you wear should a longer skirt over the dress.  You can pretty much wear almost any dress as a top.

I can't do that whole 'wear a dress as a top' thing either.  Too much material at the waist.  I think skinny folks with no potbelly are the only ones who can pull them off.

How come no one told me the Forever21in Fresno is this humongous?  OMG, I was going nutz in there;excited, yet frustrated due to the size of the place and so many selections, so many things I wanted but anxious because I was afraid I wasn't going to have enough time to shop.

I have not been to a Forever21 for the longest time and when I walked into this one, I was amazed at all their clothes. Loved the designs, prints, materials, color and prices! I was hesitant to buy because why would I buy here while I can buy at home where there's no taxes but the Forever21 at home isn't as big and probably don't have as much and maybe not as trendy/up to date yet.

Bought all these at the Forever21 in Fresno.   Spent $148 (taxes included)

My sister has a mannequin... ;D  My favorite piece is the bomber leather jacket (my first leather ever).  It fits so perfectly, feels so comfy and looks good with anything!




Asia - Great haul. They just recently open a two story Forever 21 store here. I I feel like that as I get older I shop at Forever21 less and less.  I guess it doesn't help that my little girl tell me that I should shop at Forever21 because I'm not 21 yrs.  :2funny:. I love their cheap accessories.

The lace dress is worn over the nude blouse and the skirt is worn over the lace dress.  You can pull this off. The key is that each separate piece of clothes is light and thin with the exception of the skirt.

Nice haul!
I've mentioned once or twice that the F21 in Fresno is freakin' huge, but then, when no one said anything, I thought perhaps it was just me.  Our store is tiny in comparison to the one in Fresno.  But I thought you're from the Midwest...so you must out here visiting....
Is that leather jacket really leather?  I like the cut of the jacket, but the leather looks wrinkly and thin.   But I can see if you're a younger age, you would totally go for it... it's cute and comfy and looks almost hobo-ish (the color) yet has a stylish cut to it.  I'm old, so I would've just wrinkled my nose at it and walked away from it.   ;D

Asia,
Love your leather jacket and the color!  I have been looking for that color... no success yet... but probably not gonna look for it anymore as I have a gold leather jacket that is close enough... looking forward to seeing your outfits with  the leather jacket.

Thajyeeb... I like your outfits... the only thing is that with the prints... it seems to expand and make you appear top heavy... which I don't think you are.  I think all you need is some jackets to nip you in... if blazer will be too formal for work... there are lots of jean blazers out there that will work also... and denim vest.  I know you like cardigans, but they are not very good at nipping you in at the waist. 
Like you said, you and I have shorter torsos, so probably a jacket that is no longer than 22 inches (measured from bottom of collar, down center line, to the bottom of the jacket)... and nip in the waist like my Teri Jon jacket that I wore with the flag shirt.

Thank you, I must say I enjoy checking out different styles from all the ladies who shared their outfits in here weekly. It's always nice for the ladies to always look good going out and even when she is being a mom and a wife at home. I have always like for my mamasita to look good and upkeep with herself.
 
Thanks again Ladies  :) Much appreciated

I wore this today: (don't have picture of myself)
don't have picture of the cardigan. But it's gray and white with a cut way in the back and entailed sides, it also have a cute bow in the mid back. BCBG. It didn't take away from my plain romper, also BCBG.

(http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l543/hercampusphoto/fashion/53363ea0.jpg)

wore it with this wedge sandal: (http://aff.ysi.bz/assets/75/174/l_p0013317475.jpg)

I also wore it with a fedora jane hat. Its probably too much, but my face and arms can't take the sun.  ;D

I love the romper, shampoo!!

Black heels - Aldo
Pink necklace - F21

I want that lace top in cream so badly the first I saw it but unfortunately they run out my size. So I got the navy one instead.

Thajyeeb... I like your outfits... the only thing is that with the prints... it seems to expand and make you appear top heavy... which I don't think you are.  I think all you need is some jackets to nip you in... if blazer will be too formal for work... there are lots of jean blazers out there that will work also... and denim vest.  I know you like cardigans, but they are not very good at nipping you in at the waist. 
Like you said, you and I have shorter torsos, so probably a jacket that is no longer than 22 inches (measured from bottom of collar, down center line, to the bottom of the jacket)... and nip in the waist like my Teri Jon jacket that I wore with the flag shirt.

So, you're saying all these prints make me look fat because they expand my top half??   :'(  I don't know, I don't think they make me top heavy.  I agree that maybe they are not nipped at the waist, so that hour-glass image is not visible in the picture, but I don't think it makes me appear wider or bigger at the top.    I don't usually put emphasis on my waist because I don't exactly have a small waist like some of you.  I carry my fat on my stomach  and I tend to wear clothes that will hide the lumps and bumps.  The last picture posted (with the black/yellow top) should appear boxy and that is because I tucked it so that it would appear boxy, thus aligning with the pants to give me that straight look. 
 
Jackets are not ideal for this climate.   I'm wearing a cropped jacket now, but even that will eventually come off in the afternoon. 
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: Reload Wife on May 07, 2012, 12:35:09 PM
So going back to look at Thajyeebs outfit, I dont think it made you top heavy, I think the print is fine.

I probably would suggest a belt to break up the point from where the top ends and where the pants begins, so it doesnt look continuous I hope that made sense. I dont have a small waistline or a flat stomach either so I tend to wear my tops over my belt line, but when I do tuck in my shirts, I notice that even with a not-so-flat-tummy, if I wear a beltit helps make me looks like I have longer legs.

I think having a blazer/jacket on wouldnt necessary work for this outfit. Her pants are very loose and I think wearing more layers will just make her look like shes swimming in her clothes.
I agreed with Anemone. The print is fine. You should try a belt to clinch the waist line to create the illusion of a small waist.  I maybe skinny but I don't have a small waist and not-so-flat tummy either.
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: go-go on May 07, 2012, 01:00:45 PM
Yes I thought about a belt, but didn't wear one at the time. I usually don't like belts because they make my belly even more bulgier!  And if I do wear a belt, I make sure to wear a top that floats away from the body and doesn't emphasize the bulky belt. 
 
I love that black/yellow top.  It's so loose and free-flowy.... and light and airy!!!  I wear it as a tshirt, but I will wear it differently next time. I'll layer it with a jacket and will wear long pants to dress it up.

I am not sure... there are just some styles and some trends that I will never wear b/c it simply does not suit my body type.  I would depend on how much liberty we have to intrepret a look and whether we have it in our closets already or not.

Or go with Asia's new leather jacket... and let's see all the different styles, etc... different ways of wearing one piece... etc... maybe our interpretation or spin on it.

No sheer skirt for me. I will most likely up end wearing a slip with the skirt and that defend the purpose.

I have a lot of clothes... but none of them are trendy either... so if we do trendy, I won't be able to participate either... that's why I said that we could participate if we are allowed room to interpret the challenge... kind of like project runway... you are given the rules, but then you put your own spin on it..
 
For instance... lace pencil skirt...
1.  Dress it up the way Reload's wife did or...
2.  Wear it with a T-Shirt and denim jacket like I did a couple of weekends ago...
3.  I also were it with a leather jacket and boots...
4.  I added black skinny jeans and a bronze leather jacket for a date with hubby.
And... mine was actually a lace shealth dress with spaghetti straps, worn as a pencil skirt.

My body and it's limitations is something that I can not change... no matter what... so I have learned how to live with it... and accentuate the positive while minimizing the negative... it's about working with what you have... limitations and all... and finding a style that makes you feel sexy and glamourous... it is especially most fulfilling when you KNOW that you do NOT have a perfect and/or ideal body... but one with tons of flaws.
 
So, NO MORE EXCUSES on why you cannot share photos of your outfits!!!

The Hlub wears slightly higher above the knee caps for skirts, so it's probably not kosher to display amongst the business style ladies' outfits.  Hmmm.

HPA, it's fine to display here... we are not of the older generation... OK... I am way older than you... but the only generation you have to worry about is your parents' or older...

yes, i have a couple of them.  the leather isn't as comfy as the AT or NW...they remind me of CK and RL, you have to break them in.  the heel is also a bit higher than the AT, NW, and RL.  if you don't break them in, they'll give you blisters so if your feet are like mine, i had to wear nylons at first.    :-[

NW has a nice patent nude pump.  the only problem is it can stick together when you're walking.  hahahaha.....    :P  but it is comfy.  ;)

otherwise, aldo and FS have nice ones....but then again, you'll have to break in the leather there too....    *sigh*  FS's leather is a little stiffer than the aldo one though.....

If worn with taste, then I'm not sure what the big deal is.  Just a thought xwb.

OG's don't understand taste... all they judge by is too short... too revealing... or lipstick too red or eye shadows too blue... etc.

And I had no idea Nine West made clothes.

They do, and their clothing are getting better and better... am still tempted to buy one of their ruffle jacket from Macy...

Post by: LadyLionness on May 07, 2012, 05:17:30 PM
Sad, especially when they put their daughters into a little box, expecting compliance and restrictions.

Anyway, back to clothing and taste. For women, nothing wrong with wearing articles of clothing that exudes flavor, that's all.

I dress very conservative.. . yet I still have people telling my mom or tell directly that I wear skirts or shorts too short (and they are AT the knee or slightly below).  But in those instances... I just tell them to bring it up to my husband b/c that's how he like it...
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?

oops....i should have clarified myself.  when i said heel, i meant the back of the heel and not the height of the heel.   :2funny:  that's why i say it could cause blisters if you don't wear nylons.   ;D

yes, NW is nine west.  do you prefer round, almond, or pointy toe pumps?

Nice assemble Trouble!  I like the pop of purple. 

One thing I hate is breaking in shoes!  Ladylionness, almond or round toe, will be more comfortable than a pointy toe.  You can start with that then work your way to pointy toe pumps.   O0


thanks.  i wanted to brighten the boredom blackness of the suit.  hehehe....  ;)


They do, and their clothing are getting better and better... am still tempted to buy one of their ruffle jacket from Macy...

yes, they definitely are.  i sometimes prefer their suit separates as compared to the suit pieces that are sold together (i.e. blazer and slacks).  then you can mix and match or get different sizes.....   O0

1.  White under shirt to hide your cleavage and match it with a pair of white shoes.   Or wear a white belt and white shoe. 

I wish I was born a chick.  Men fashions are boring.  99% of all guys at the clubs all dresses a like or similar styling...

What I wore earlier. I believe I bought this at Burlington for 12 bucks.  O0

I like this type of dress, too. Also, what a nice $ you paid!

Eeek! OMG! I'm so glad sunsets referred me to this here thread! Sorry I didn't bother to look through all 105 pages... here's my contribution.. .

My Saturday night attire. Sister in law's birthday party. We went to Rock Bottom.

Nice Pea. You look great in pink.

this would be interesting.   O0

this is what i normally wear for work.....today i wore a nine west black suit, purple calvin klein top, purple ralph lauren earrings, and michael kors pumps.

Very cute. I love your style Trouble.

 :2funny: :2funny:  Why does she want to hide her cleavage?? That's the best part about this shirt.. it's a drop cleavage style... Go with a black slack or a skirt. keep it simple because the shirt is already doing all the work. :D
 
I agree with sweet tears about the slacks....you could even get away with wearing black tights/leggings since the top is long.  you can accessorize the outfit with earrings/bracelets and black pumps.  ;)

They have a forum for petites?

Reload Wife, that's a great idea!  Before you posted, I was just thinking white t, and if you don't own one, use your spouse/bf white tshirt so the white t and jeans is perfect for a first challenge cause everyone has those two items! 

Will there be a deadline?  Do we share by the deadline date or should we have one person host and everyone forward their pics to that person so that it kinda remains somewhat annoymous?

Personally, I prefer a deadline and one person hosting because I like the annoymous aspect since I'm new to this and not as comfortable sharing me in my own skin as some of you   ;D :D

That's fine.  I can host.  And I think most of you trust me by now... lolz!  Or you better... :knuppel2: :knuppel2: :knuppel2:
 
Deadline:  May 31 so that people get to play with different variation... and send me ALL of the variations that you like.  I will post all of them up on June 1, 2012...
 
Is there to be a winner with prize or is it just for fun?

skirt? Why would I wear a shirt dress with a skirt? I think it'll look weird.

Yea I usually pair it with a black skinny jeans but no leggings since I want it work appropriate.

If not then I will never wear it to work.

DeceiverChick, I like the color, drape and flow of this piece.  As suggested, I would probably pair with skinny/tapper leg slacks. Gold accessories; no necklace as Anemone suggested though.

How is winner determined? Random Selection? Or does Finest select the winner since s/he is giving prize?


I think we should have a poll for people to vote on the winner.  I'm only providing an additional incentive for people to post their outfits and make this challenge successful.  We run a few "assignments/challenges" in the Photog forum once in awhile and give away gift cards/prizes to winners all the time.  Think of it as PH's contribution to it's members.   O0  8)

Wait, there are going to be winners?  ???

I thought it was just going to be like a "this is how I would style it" thing to show others, not necessarily picking a 'best person or winner'.

That's what I was thinking too... but we shall see... hope that does not deter people from participating. .. if most prefer to just share... then there will be no poll, no winner... and no prize...

Post by: LadyLionness on May 08, 2012, 10:53:35 AM
Anemone, Finest graciously uped the challenge by offering a GC to the outfit with the most votes.  I don't care if there's one or not, but if there's one I think there needs to be guidelines. 

I would prefer not to have one... just participate for fun... that way there is no self-consciousness...
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: LadyLionness on May 08, 2012, 10:58:46 AM
Im not thrilled about having winners. I think style is so diverse among each of us that we cant deem one person has having the best style or whatever. Im not sure how these challenges are usually done and if there are always a winner announced.

I would rather just do a showcase/gallery of heres how these participants style a basic white t and jeans.

If you want to mentally vote for a winner, go for it. But I dont think we need to make announcements of so-so is the winner. The challenge should be used as an inspiration..i n my honest opinion.

I agree.  Will let Finest and the rest of the folks know.

Im not thrilled about having winners. I think style is so diverse among each of us that we cant deem one person has having the best style or whatever. Im not sure how these challenges are usually done and if there are always a winner announced.

I would rather just do a showcase/gallery of heres how these participants style a basic white t and jeans.

If you want to mentally vote for a winner, go for it. But I dont think we need to make announcements of so-so is the winner. The challenge should be used as an inspiration..i n my honest opinion.
I second this.
If there are going to be polls and winners, then I'm out. Sorry.  I participate (in the fashion thread) on my own accord and will not do it if there are going to be rules.  I will not vote either because I think everyone's taste is unique and different and it will turn out to be a popularity contest in the end. It always ends up that way. 
 
Besides, who's judging? And what are they judging on? You can see where this is heading already.....

Yes, let's just keep it fun and no picking winners.

Sorry, I don't mean to be a party pooper but I just don't think it should be a competitive thing. Or maybe I'm just afraid I'll get no votes. LOL!!!  :2funny:  :D

Anemone you're a great dress. I look to you for inspiration. You will always get my vote.  O0

You guys can compete if everyone is in agreement to the challenge.  It's just that I won't participate because I'll probably not get any vote and it'll look embarassing!!   :2funny:   
I hope I didn't put a damper on things here.  Sorry nawb!

No competition.  This is for us to share.  The challenge is not in who win... but it's for us to challenge ourselves and create outfits we would not normally think of.  This is all for fun... as fashion should be.

Ok how about this:

- No voting, no polls.  Everyone participates for fun and just to show off their creativity.
- But I'll still contribute the GC to the person LL feel best represents the theme.  Deal?

You can really pull it off with clothes from Forever 21 and H&M.  I know the fabric is not the best there but price wise is what I'm going for........... .  Right now I do not have any top or just shirt in my closet to pair with jean or pant/slack.

As Anemone stated even if you're a stay at home mom you should still have a few nice tops/pants/dresses to dress up. I'm always a plain jane but when the time calls for it I do have something nice to wear.

 I haven't done my makeup for weeks but this past weekend I dressed up. I had on a full face makeup, curled my hair, dressed up in a nice top with jeans and heels. I felt like a HOT azz girl who was ready to take on the world. However I was only going to a coworkers "pure romance" party.  :2funny:


It's nice to dress once in awhile once I'm out. It makes me feel good about myself.

Just my bracelets, here's a closer shot. It might be a bit much but I was feeling a naked without a necklace so I loaded up on bracelets.  ;D

I also wore a scarf to work, as I do most mornings since it's still a little chilly here in the mornings. But I don't wear it all day. It depends on the outfit.

I'm not feeling this outfit. The pants are too frumpy and the outfits doesn't pull together.

I missed this comment.
I didn't think the outfit looked THAT bad....It's not chic or as fashion-y as what others have pictured, but I think it's suited for the atmosphere of this workplace.... esp on a Friday where's there may be a few people left by the time lunch rolls around.

Boy, if you guys think this looks ugly, I wonder what you guys would think on my other days where I come in flip flops and tshirts?? And when the weather's really burning hot, I throw off the cardigan and have on only tank tops...  :2funny: ;D

 :2funny:  i doubt our s/o's would like that very much.   :2funny:   she's my other half cause we're always together.  hahaha....  ;D

Trouble,  I love this RL heel, I think its the Zamora, its classic looking yet still got some height (its only 3) so I wear it for work a lot. In fact, the heel lives at work and I switch in. I have a bin under my desk for work shoes. I usually come to work in flats.

I think I have that H&M scarf youre wearing! Its hard to tell in the photo but it looks like the one I have. I love scarvesoh I just love accessories in general. Love your look today!


yes, the pumps i have are one and the same.  i have it in black and tan.  hahahaha....  ;)

you have the scarf too?  i got mine beginning last year.  it's cream, brown, and tan in color.  i went crazy with scarves last year so a bought quite a few.  hehehe...  :P

You seem to be slim and tall and kind of just remind me of your step-daughter mother.

Post by: SummerBerry on May 08, 2012, 06:53:50 PM
Of the two stores, I pick H&M over Forever 21 as far as quality.

Ive stopped shopping at Forever 21 because I found that 1) Quality doesn't hold up 2) Clothes tend to be trendy so it goes out of style fast.

In the last year, I havent bought much from F21, I made a couple of purchases on their basic stuff like tank tops and t-shirts because its cheap and the quality on those is fine. I have shopped more at H&M this year than I have in the past. Their quality is not too bad. I rather invest the money there than F21.

I know you are a stay at home mom, but you should definitely play with clothes. I know you are also very petite so use the internet as a resource on where to shop. There are a lot of really petite bloggers that give great advices on where to shop for those XXS sizes.

RW, thanks for the info! With additional 50% off, I might have to check it out. I looove it when they have those additional discounts to already marked down prices!  O0

If I buy something I find myself returning it 2-3 day later because I don't have a reason to wear it but just like it so I'm learning the difference between want and need.  I hate to shop online and make return at the store or ship it back.  As for store we don't have much here because our mall is small and don't always carry a large variety like a store in a bigger city.  Another thing is the size for petite are mostly carry online. 

Forever 21 and H & M.  I don't hang around Forever 21 and just walk across to H & M and shop in the kid section for my little one.  Forever 21 is a store where I think you need to look around for hours or just take your time and I don't have that extra spare time to do it.  My daughter always bug me to go shopping at Forever 21, H & M, Hollister, A&F, etc. at Modesto Mall but I find myself going to DD's Discount and Ross while she roam the mall with my sister.

I tried playing with some clothes today but I really don't have any top or shirt and I went looking through my daughter closet and only to find that even though she is just 3 inches taller than me but her shirts or tops doesn't feel right on me at all.  I don't know how she pull off those clothes but I can't.  I went digging through her scarves but couldn't find where she put them and only came across 3 of them but so clueless of trying to wear it different way to see which one I can pull off.  I guess I might just have to have date with her one day and have her help show me a little here and there.

I have no white tee and try wearing one of my daughter white tee that is more of a lower v neck and it didn't feel right on me at all.  Try to pair with a scarf but just couldn't find one or don't know where she put all her scarves.  Time for me to go shopping for some tops every once in a while.

I love this skirt! When I was skinner, in my former life... Ahhahaa... I wore a lot of pleated skirts like this. I just love the look. Now if I could only go back to pre pregnancy body. :-(
I think pleated skirt can be flattering on just about any body size and type. It will depend on the cut of the skirt and how small or wide the pleats are. I have a pleated skirt from H&M that always make me look like I have very wide hips.

Reload Wife.......... ...I think you can really dress well in any type of skirt.  I think some of us PHers need to get a walk through your closet one day since you seem to have so many clothes or something.  If I don't have a career/job that is going to required me to dress up every day I would not have that much clothes because you don't always find something on sale, clearance, etc. all the time that is suitable unless you really have the time to go back and forth to see if there is any mark down taken......... ....

Thanks SummerBerry. You don't want to see my closet. I have a tiny closet.  Even though it seems like I may have lot of clothes. I do not.  I signed for the store email and keep an out for sale through fashion blog.
 What I usually do is to check the store and see what items I like then I keep an eye on the item until it pricey goes down. Sometime I got lucky and sometime I don't.

My pictures makes me seem tall but I'm not. I'm only 4"11. I have a hard time finding clothes that fit me well.

I like to dress up when I go to work or to event. However on the weekend I'm usually in t-shirt and short or jean.

I missed this comment.
I didn't think the outfit looked THAT bad....It's not chic or as fashion-y as what others have pictured, but I think it's suited for the atmosphere of this workplace.... esp on a Friday where's there may be a few people left by the time lunch rolls around.

Boy, if you guys think this looks ugly, I wonder what you guys would think on my other days where I come in flip flops and tshirts?? And when the weather's really burning hot, I throw off the cardigan and have on only tank tops...  :2funny: ;D   
As long as it's suitable for the atmosphere of your workplace that's perfectly fine. We have casual friday's and I'm usually in a women's golf shirt with jeans. I'm not saying it's ugly I felt the pieces didn't go well with eachother. But who am I to say? I don't dress up all the time and I'm always frumpy looking.  ;D

have you tried it with a long pencil skirt like this or is the top too long?  i think it could go well with that....

(http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w3/ms_lin28/top-1.jpg)

The top is pretty long so a pencil skit may not suit it. hmmmm Let me go dig up an old picture of when I wore it out with black leggings.

If I buy something I find myself returning it 2-3 day later because I don't have a reason to wear it but just like it so I'm learning the difference between want and need.  I hate to shop online and make return at the store or ship it back.  As for store we don't have much here because our mall is small and don't always carry a large variety like a store in a bigger city.  Another thing is the size for petite are mostly carry online. 

Forever 21 and H & M.  I don't hang around Forever 21 and just walk across to H & M and shop in the kid section for my little one.  Forever 21 is a store where I think you need to look around for hours or just take your time and I don't have that extra spare time to do it.  My daughter always bug me to go shopping at Forever 21, H & M, Hollister, A&F, etc. at Modesto Mall but I find myself going to DD's Discount and Ross while she roam the mall with my sister.

I tried playing with some clothes today but I really don't have any top or shirt and I went looking through my daughter closet and only to find that even though she is just 3 inches taller than me but her shirts or tops doesn't feel right on me at all.  I don't know how she pull off those clothes but I can't.  I went digging through her scarves but couldn't find where she put them and only came across 3 of them but so clueless of trying to wear it different way to see which one I can pull off.  I guess I might just have to have date with her one day and have her help show me a little here and there.
You should have your own style and not dig through your daughter's clothes. Her body type is different from yours so it will fit differently.

Even if you don't wear the clothes it would be nice to dress up once a month or so.  Dressing up meaning wearing a nice top with a nice pair of jeans and have some light makeup on. It really does make you feel better and have some sense of fashion. I rarely dress up or have makeup on but once in awhile I do it so it boosts my confidence. lol

i was thinking if it's not too long, maybe this length.....wit h the right accessories and shoes, it could look great for work.   ;)

(http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w3/ms_lin28/me.jpg)
My dress shirt is longer than yours.

Ugh, see this is why I can't find a way of wearing it to work but only when I'm out with skinny jeans/leggings. I don't want to wear leggings to work cause i feel it's not work appropriate.

So I took everyone's constructive criticism and put it to work.  I wore a blazer over it, put on a belt, added a necklace AND a bracelet (but it's covered up, so sad) and wore an actual dress pant with heels. 
 
Anyway.  Here is Take Two of the top I wore last Friday:

yes you could do that....I do it with pieces that are too long in the sleeves or in the hem.  Or I take it in the waist and add an invisible zipper to the side.  That way, the waist is tailored in and the hem would fall at the hip and you won't have to deal with belts or tucking it in.

Thajyeeb, are these the same pants you wore with the top last Friday? I love this look! It looks very polished, very professional! I think the heels added to the look, plus I like that you threw a colored blazer on!

This is really good! You took constructive criticism and really turned it around! I love this thread! O0
Thanks. You're really too kind.  I think my outfits are pretty plain... no pizzazzz to them.  I think I'm a minimalist.  LOL
 
Last Friday, I threw on the top with capri jeans and wore some black flats.  They were loose fit, so it appeared really baggy, but I think it was because I cropped off the feet, so it made the outfit looked ill-fitted and choppy.  These dress pants are the ones I was raving about (in the JCP thread) that I got from JCP Worthington.

Thajyeeb, I hope you don't mind me post this. Please let me know and I can take it down but I thought it was a good visual for before/after.

(http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/burberry78/thajyeebbeforeafter.jpg)
I don't mind.  To me, they both look the same - one is everyday comfy and one is a little more dressier.  I think it's because I'm used to wearing plain outfits to work, ESPECIALLY on Fridays where the workplace is dead by lunch time....

Thaj and LL, I think I'm going to shorten it cause I use to wear this shirt dress out clubbing. I don't club anymore and would like to wear it for work or a casual girls night out.

Thanks!

Busy day today at work, early morning meeting, more meetings.

Decided to wear a skirt today but my legs are really pale and I havent had much luck with fake tan so I opted for black tights with the skirt. Its May, ideally I would prefer to go bare legs and a lighter color shirt but Im really self conscious about my legs until they are tan so oh wells, tight it is. So with black tights, I felt like I had to go dark for my top as well.

This skirt is a different print for me, Im not sure if I pulled this off though. I went a conservative route with the cardigan. LOL I would love some feedback on this look! Please be honest!

Colorful floral patterned skirt, Urban Outfitters
Black top, Gap
Black cardigan, NY&Co
Tights, Target
Heels, RL
Bracelets, probably F21

I like this outfit! However maybe a light color top? A peachy/light pink top? I don't know that's just how i'm feeling at the moment.

You really took the suggestions and did great.

Todays photo, especially the pants is very flattering on your body. It makes you slimmer (not that youre big! But you know what I mean). Im a big believer in belts. I think using a belt helps with proportions and creates an illusion of a slimmer waist.

The blazer is a nice touch and the color is perfect!
Ditto.  O0

Here's my top of the day.

Loft Navy Blue top
Black under shirt
Pearl necklace
NY&CO black dress pants
Flat shoes

I was going to wear a different color dress pants but realize i only have black or gray. I didn't want to wear gray so went with Black. I wanted to hear heels with my dress pants but have not done a pedicure so opted for flats.

When you look at the side-by-side pictures, I can see that the dress pants is more flattering and more slimming.  I actually look pretty thin around the waist!    :2funny: :2funny:   I like colors and I like matching solids with prints so it's natural for me to add a color.  I tried it with a black blazer and it was just too plain and one-sided.

I loving see you wear a floral print skirt.  The outfit looks great but I agreed with DC and Sukie about wearing a lighter color blouse so that the skirt can really shine.
 If you want to be daring you can wear a green blouse.
Kind like this.

Sunset,
 
I like your looks... was planning to do something similar... looks like you have lots of brown clothes.  For the longest time, I didn't know how to wear brown... and didn't have many pieces in brown... now I do have some... but not as much as the other colors.
 
Do some more tonight.

Busy day today at work, early morning meeting, more meetings.

Decided to wear a skirt today but my legs are really pale and I havent had much luck with fake tan so I opted for black tights with the skirt. Its May, ideally I would prefer to go bare legs and a lighter color shirt but Im really self conscious about my legs until they are tan so oh wells, tight it is. So with black tights, I felt like I had to go dark for my top as well.

This skirt is a different print for me, Im not sure if I pulled this off though. I went a conservative route with the cardigan. LOL I would love some feedback on this look! Please be honest!

Colorful floral patterned skirt, Urban Outfitters
Black top, Gap
Black cardigan, NY&Co
Tights, Target
Heels, RL
Bracelets, probably F21

(http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/burberry78/Outfit%20of%20the%20day/IMAG1643.jpg)


From that angle, that skirt looks longer than most of the UO skirts I've seen.  Most are pretty short, like way above the knee short!   I think that looks fine and safe, depending on your fashion aesthetic, but too heavy on the black.  How about wearing black hosiery instead of tights?
My suggestions are to change out the the black top for a neutral color - white or beige with a wide belt.  Add on a soft color cardigan/jacket, like light gray or light blue.   But if you really want to go outside of your comfort zone, go for a colored top like RW suggested.  I would suggest a complementary color to the colors that are on the skirt, though, and not a green like RW suggested because there's already too many greens on the skirt.  I would probably pick a yellow top, but that's just me... I like colorful combinations.  I like that cardiga, but I'm not sure if it goes with that skirt.  Maybe opt for a cardigan with a shorter hem length.

Here's my top of the day.

Loft Navy Blue top
Black under shirt
Pearl necklace
NY&CO black dress pants
Flat shoes

I was going to wear a different color dress pants but realize i only have black or gray. I didn't want to wear gray so went with Black. I wanted to hear heels with my dress pants but have not done a pedicure so opted for flats.

Without a bigger picture of the overall outfit, it's hard to say but it sounds like a perfectly safe outfit.  I like what I see though... it's a classic look!  Since you have on dark colors, maybe you can wear a colored shoe....like RED.

Maybe try it with a longer or shorter cardigan... and off-black or sheer black stockings... with a skirt like that, you will have to try different combination of shirts to see which one work better... it's so busy... the cut and shape of the shirt should be simple as well... I would opt for a v-nect black t-shirt... if it was me... lolz... and maybe top it off with a more plain grey sweater.

@Thabyeej, giving you my stamp of approval on this!   O0 Love the blue and yellow combo!

I too love this thread!  Thanks for sharing everyone!

 
VERY NICE! I love this look.  O0  I'm glad you turned it around and made it into a positive. I love this thread as well.


 
Really loving this look. The blazer make the outfit look very polish. Good job on recreate the outfit with everyone suggestion.

Thank you all.  I enjoy reading everyone's suggestions.  I like this thread too... probably the only one that I really participate in on a daily basis.

@Lady, casual date night is good idea.  I didn't have anytime lastnight but if I find time tonight or Thursday evening, I was planning to do a casual date with white t and jeans. LOL

@Thabyeej, I'm still shy! LOL

OH LORD.  There's no need for shyness in this thread.  You don't have to show any faces... so you show what you want others to see.  If you want to show your face, then we're all for it.  If not, then it's perfectly fine.  Also, we're all about women power, so no one is going to diss on your body.  *Ahem, DC*  So, regardless of your body shape, or what kind of condition your clothes are in, it doesn't matter.  Look at me, I never dress up for work and haven't done so in the last few years.  I just started to do it again, thanks to the encouragment and inspiration of the ladies here.  I'm trying to dress up at least 2-3 times a week... but looks more like maybe only 1 or 2 times a week.  Mondays and Fridays are definitely "never" and so that leaves me with Tue, Wed and Thurs.... and since I might get lazy by Thurs, that only leaves Tues and Wed left!  :2funny: :2funny:

Thanks everyone for the feedback!

It's prob the angle I took the photo since it's not straight on. But it is an inch above the knee. I thought about wearing it with a cream blouse, similar to the one I wore yesterday but I wore cream yesterday and didn't want to wear another cream blouse again so I decided on black. I will definitely try this skirt again with a lighter color top.

I think lighter hoisery like black nylons make me look bigger so I always opt for black opaque tights. Like I said, ideally I would just wear this skirt with bare legs but my legs are really pale now so until I get a tan I prob won't wear this skirt again.  ;D

I raided my younger sister's closet over the weekend, she was getting rid of some clothes. So I picked this skirt because it's not something I typically wear. And I thought I could certainly make it work for me. Plus, it helps me get out of my comfort zone of solids, solids, solids.


My husband have been trying to get me into stripes! The horror! :( I like my solids. I don't like any prints unless it's polka dots because I think I can sort of pull that off.

Actually you look good in this photo. And your hair must be getting long. I'm taking prenatals to get mine to grow longer. :)

Ahhh so that's it.  I was quite surprised when I saw your picture and saw you wearing a floral skirt.  I thought "wait a minute! I thought she only likes solids! What is she doing wearing a floral skirt and in that many colors??"   :2funny:  Seriously.   LOL!
 
Well, I think you did pretty good going out of your comfort zone then.... if you top that with a complementary color too, wow, you'll probably be walking around thinking "I'm too bright! I'm too colorful! I look like a peacock!"   :2funny: :2funny:    That's how I feel walking around in the heels and jacket this morning (which I already took off).  I already got asked "Why are you all dressed up?  what's the occassion?".  *sigh*  I couldn't say "because I'm gonna write about it in PH" so I said "oh  because I haven't done laundry yet "  HAHA!

Errmm, I forgot to wear accessories with two of the outfits. LOL.

But I'll post 'em ... ;D

(http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s390/sunsets20/basicteejean1.jpg)

VOILA! don't laugh.  ;D

Info on clothing:

1. Dark brown cardigan, Sears. Scarf, payless. Skinny belt (I don't remember). Boots, JCPenney. Jeans, Walmart.  ;D . White tee, Sears. .

2. Velvet blazer, I don't remember. Jeans, F21. Shoes, Kmart.  ;D

3. Sweater, ON. Boot, Charlotte Russe.



These are great outfits! I think the middle one is a bit plain, so it could use a scarf or a necklace.  Lovely figure, btw!

So I took everyone's constructive criticism and put it to work.  I wore a blazer over it, put on a belt, added a necklace AND a bracelet (but it's covered up, so sad) and wore an actual dress pant with heels. 
 
Anyway.  Here is Take Two of the top I wore last Friday:
 
(http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv304/a20p100/blackyellow013.jpg)

this is nice.  i really like how you added the blue blazer to the outfit, brightens it and brings it to another level.   O0


Busy day today at work, early morning meeting, more meetings.

Decided to wear a skirt today but my legs are really pale and I havent had much luck with fake tan so I opted for black tights with the skirt. Its May, ideally I would prefer to go bare legs and a lighter color shirt but Im really self conscious about my legs until they are tan so oh wells, tight it is. So with black tights, I felt like I had to go dark for my top as well.

This skirt is a different print for me, Im not sure if I pulled this off though. I went a conservative route with the cardigan. LOL I would love some feedback on this look! Please be honest!

Colorful floral patterned skirt, Urban Outfitters
Black top, Gap
Black cardigan, NY&Co
Tights, Target
Heels, RL
Bracelets, probably F21

cute skirt.  i really like how colorful it is.  you can match a variety of tops with it, it's so versatile.   ;)


so it's another casual day at work.  woohoo!  hehehe....   :D   this is what we wore.

LOL.  Ok, I can't really see it... but a lot of guys wear a white tshirt under their sweaters/shirts... I think the point of this challenge was to wear a white tshirt and dress it up, not cover it up.   :2funny:

yes it is so... LOL

Seems like the only thing you can do to dress up a white tshirt is to add a jacket/sport jacket, a sweater, a vest, or scarf and pants are basically, still, just pants or jeans.  Without being tooo metro, there's not a lot of other options.  You can play with colors and textured, but that's up to the person...

RW, maybe this is just me, but to my untrained eyes, the chest area looks very big and, even though you have a belt to cinch in at the waist, it doesn't look like you have any waist at all.  I think there is just too much material at the side areas, so it makes your chest look poofy and roomy.  And add that to a full skirt, and it looks too round and bulky overall. If you look at your previous picture (the one with the black top and pleated skirt), you'll notice the difference in that area.  You have a nice figure and this picture doesn't show it.

Thajyeeb I did notice that when I took the picture. I think it may be the cut of the top because the sides fit me well.
Here is the same dress with a blazer on.

Participate anyway, Lisa... I am planning to do a couple of graphic white Ts as well...

Funny how you guys mentioned the Target Hmong scarf because I wore that today. 
 
My 2nd day in a row that I'm dressing up... this is too much work!  I'm going back to being a scrub after today.   :2funny: 
 
I don't really like this outfit now that I'm seeing the colors played up against each other.  I was hoping that the pink in the scarf would appear more orange against the orange jacket, but it doesn't appear to be the case.... oh well.    I don't like the pink with the orange... it just looks weird.  I will have to try it with something else.....

Thajyeeb I did notice that when I took the picture. I think it may be the cut of the top because the sides fit me well.
Here is the same dress with a blazer on.

This is very nice.  See? you have such a nice figure, girl!  And while I'm at it, can I just say I totally envy your ankles???   (I can see people scrolling up to take a second look at your ankles...hahah)  I don't have skinny ankles and when I see people with skinny ankles, I always look at them with longing.

Another contribution before tomorrow's deadline... :2funny:

I purchased the jacket from Burlington Coat Factory more than a yr ago... I forgot about it until this white-t and jeans contest. It's by Adolfo. It wasn't all that expensive. Less than 30 bucks for sure.

Very nice.  O0

The pink in yours ar actually red in mine...
 
No, don't stop... lolz... Once you get the hang of it... and don't need to keep trying on pieces that will go well together, it's just as easy as the way you have been dressing.
 
When I first started... it would take me a long time to find an ensemble that I like... now, it doesn't take much longer than pulling on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt... the only time I have hiccups is when I just bought something new... then it takes me a while to work it into my wardrobe.

I would've liked red in the scarf rather this pink.  It's hard to work this scarf into any outfit, now that I think about it.  The only time when I think it's appropriate is when I use it as a winter scarf with the black wool coat.  LOL
 
And being a scrub is so easy... just throw on random things, make sure they don't look tooo wrinkly and out the door you go.   :2funny:

White cami F21
Charcoal grey top H&M
Cream blazer LC for Kohls
Black ankle pants Talbots
Black heels RL
Necklace F21
Bracelet F21

I've worn these pants a lot since I got them 3 weeks ago.  :D

See, this is more your look.  You like solids and neutrals and you do it very well!
 
I was at Kohl's last night but forgot to check out the LC stuff.  I looked through JLo's stuff and I do not like anything from her line.  Saw some linen jackets from R&R, but nothing in my size and they had them on sale too...

Did a look or two last night, nothing fancy...

I love accessorizing with skinny belts, not too into necklaces but I suppose adding a necklace would complete an outfit. I need to shop for more necklaces.  ;D

(http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s390/sunsets20/blzcrmjeans1.jpg)

1. Cardigan--Charlotte Russe (9.00)
    White button up blouse-- (12.00)
    Jeans--579 (20.00)
    Skinny belt--Wet Seal (6.00)
    Open toe pumps--Payless (3.00)  :D
    Necklace--F21 (5.00)
    Purse--Burlington (14.00)

2. Same outfit as yesterday's post except I added a black skinny belt and changed the shirt.
 
3. Again, same as description #1, except I used a darker belt and changed into boots, jeans are F21 as already mentioned in previous posts from yesterday.

**I really enjoyed this challenged, I got to mix and match things that were just collecting dust in my closet**  :)

Same here... since I have started my scarf collection, I hardly wear my jewelry anymore... but just as well b/c I don't want to wear out my jewelry... I tried buying some cheap necklaces and such... but ended up hardly ever wearing them... I always end up choose the gold or silver pieces over the cheaper ones...

they say that necklaces can "appear" to take off 5-8 lbs...and the more the layer up on necklaces adds to to what u 'take off'.  Of course this works more so with long necklaces.  this being that it draws your eyes to the core of your body more.....so perhaps scarves could work the same (depending on how u wear it).

@Pea-Gravel, nice!  Can't go wrong with a white T and blazer.  So reminiscent of Miami Vice!  Yeah, I like to see the shoes too!  :D

@Sunset, you have a body of a goddess....... .so jealous! You did a great job styling the white button down shirt with the jeans.   I would have love to see the middle outfit with the shirt tucked in, belt around the loops of the jeans, and perhaps a 16" necklace.  And where's the shoes?  LOL...that was a joke cause you said it to Pea.

@Thabyeej, that is a beautiful scarf.  I can't really tell from the pix that the scarf has pink in it, looks coral to me?  Regardless, I think the pink against the orange is a nice unexpected combo.  Your pumps look comfortable.  I take it you drew the color from the scarf?

Thanks for sharing everyone!
The scarf definitely has pink in it... not coral.  The shoe choice was more from the orange jacket... the colors are all analogues, so that was my angle.

RW, you wear those soft colors really well. Still love those JS nude pumps. I was at DWS last weekend and saw some nude JS pumps but they didn't have them in my size but it looks pretty good or close enough to what I was looking for. Still searching for the perfect nude pumps - not too low, not too high, nice color.

trouble, very casual and chic. Are you guys Hmong? Your hair looks blonde/light brown.  :D You both have such nice fig!  O0

@ Sukie. Thanks. The green blazer does seems to take center stage. I think a cream color blaze may work better with the dress but I don't own any. I original paired the dress with a white cardigan but the white cardigan make the dress look bulk.

@ Thajyeeb - I do not have a good body.You can see the stomach fats I'm trying to hard. I need to tone up my body.  BTW I never give much thoughts to my ankles. I sure your looks fine.

trouble, you girls look sophisticated. .. I'm digging those capris because it's one of my staples!

thanks.  i like certain capris but not all since some of them make me look short.   :(  they're great for casual days.   ;D

Here is the same dress with a blazer on.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v373/shystardreamer/Witheachpassingday%20blog/forever21greenblazerfront.jpg)

i like how the color of the blazer complements the colors of the dress....and i see you have a matching ring.  great accessorizing.   ;)

Lovely outfit. You girls looks so pretty in skinny pant. I can't wear pant like you do.

thanks.  anyone can wear skinny jeans/pants.  you just have to find the right fit on you.   ;D

trouble, very casual and chic. Are you guys Hmong? Your hair looks blonde/light brown.  :D You both have such nice fig!  O0

yes, we are hmong.  my hair is brown right now, but it used to be as light as my other half until a few weeks ago.  hehehehe.....   :P

White cami F21
Charcoal grey top H&M
Cream blazer LC for Kohls
Black ankle pants Talbots
Black heels RL
Necklace F21
Bracelet F21

I've worn these pants a lot since I got them 3 weeks ago.  :D

(http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/burberry78/Outfit%20of%20the%20day/IMAG1646.jpg)

nice anemone.  you must wear your RL heels as often as i wear mine.  hehehe....  i just purchased another one but they are pointy toe pumps.

Funny how you guys mentioned the Target Hmong scarf because I wore that today. 
 
My 2nd day in a row that I'm dressing up... this is too much work!  I'm going back to being a scrub after today.   :2funny: 
 
I don't really like this outfit now that I'm seeing the colors played up against each other.  I was hoping that the pink in the scarf would appear more orange against the orange jacket, but it doesn't appear to be the case.... oh well.    I don't like the pink with the orange... it just looks weird.  I will have to try it with something else.....
 
jacket by East 5th Ave, JCP
tank top, St. John's Bay, JCP
pants by Missimo, Target
scarf, Target
(http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv304/a20p100/orange010.jpg)
 

i think the scarf looks fine.  it complements your slacks.  there's really nothing wrong with the pink and the orange next to each other.  also, it looks like they match your shoes.   O0



this is what i'm wearing now:

green rl sweater (too bad the lighting isn't good to truly appreciate the color.  *sigh*), at bow tie blouse, talbots capri, nw peep toe pumps.

@Trouble, nice casual outfits.  I perfer your's over your sister's.  With the drape of her top, I felt like it was competing with her long necklace; I don't know maybe it's just me???  Perhaps a shorter necklace?  I was going to ask the same thing Anemone asked cause you both have light hair and fair skin?

she's my sister from another mother/father.   :2funny:  i think her intention with the longer necklace was to cover up.  due to the draping of the top, if she were to wear a shorter necklace, eyes would go to the cleavage.   :o    ;D   

here's my share today...plain jane.
 

nothing plain about this.  i like the color and ruffles.

Loft Shell
N&Y Company cardigan
Target Skirt
Ann Taylor Pump
Necklace - Gift from my little sister

i wonder if we have the same at pumps...   O0   i like the cameo necklace.  i've been searching for a nice cameo brooch.....

@trouble It's too bad the lighting is so bad. I would love to see the color of your sweater. The bow tie blouse is super cute.  BTW You have an good eye.  I wasn't wearing ring. It my silver band ring that I always wore. It has reflect the color of the blazer.

We may have the same pump. The pump is Ann Taylor Perfect Pump in black.  My sister got the cameo necklace from a little boutique at the San Francisco Pier 39.

Here is one from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Cameo-Brooch-Pendant-Black/dp/B003TLZD1S (http://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Cameo-Brooch-Pendant-Black/dp/B003TLZD1S)

yeah, i do have those too.  i'm planning on getting their pointy leather pumps when they have their next sale.  hopefully they're as comfy as their perfect pumps.

thanks for the brooch suggestion.  it looks nice but i'm a bit cautious when purchasing something from amazon/ebay.   :-\

Hey Ladies, I can't find any pumps that fits right and comfy. I love pointy pumps and I perfer to wear them with my slacks but I just can't find one that will not come off loose when I walk or hurt my feet.

out of all the pumps i've owned, i'd say that nine west and ann taylor are the most comfortable.  i would suggest getting leather and not the patent pumps.  with any high heel pumps, they will eventually hurt your feet with prolong standing/walking.

RW, I love it with the green blazer... pink and green are opposites on the color wheel, so they are perfect together... both are nice, but the blazer does a better job at defining your shape and refining the dress.  The cardigan is more casual, but with a light light cardigan and print dress... it does appear to expand... making you look bigger than your size 0.

Thank you, Sunset.  I love all my jackets, but this one is one of my fav... not just for the color but also the cut, fit, and feel of the leather... buttery soft and silky smooth... still want to buy more stuff from this designer...

LOL!  Thanks.  I added the pirate necklace at the last second because I saw it hanging in the closet next to my hat.   :2funny:  But I guess it works with my cowboy theme.

But I've been away on business trips this week.  Just flew back in last night.  Hopefully my team has held up their own against you guys?!!!!   >:D

Hope u had a great trip. O0 And no, ur team is no use w/out u. They're like lost sheep w/out a shephard.  ;D ;D  The egg challenge got so boring for my team that we quit trying altogether about halfway thru. :2funny:  Anyway, we r off topic here in this thread.

Back to white shirt/jeans....

LL, your jacket collection is awesome! Some of those colors look pretty cool on you.  Thanks for the fashion show!  But that's basically a tshirt with different jackets, wouldn't you think?  You should put all your jacket collection on a different thread so that we can comment on which one we like without taking up so much of the space for this thread. just a thought.
 
Oh, who's the guy with the vest??  I like that vest outfit!
 
Finest, you remind me of Trace Adkins.  You do look badass as OV said.... nicely done!!
PS - What genre do you play? I do not play the guitar, but my son plays acoustic guitar and he likes flemenco, whatever it's called.
 
OV, did you do a new look today with a jacket?? You could totally rock a James Dean/The Fonz look.  And I think PG could totally go with the Grease look -- what's his name?  Danny.  The lead character.  What do you think?? Show us some pics!!  ;D

Trace Adkins, lol!  Yea, I can see that.  But I can't grow the awesome facial hair like most country guys.   :2funny:

Flamenco is nice, it takes certain skills to play it, plus a lighter guitar to get the extra percussion sound out of it.  But it's mostly energetic and suave when done right.   8)

I'm basically a free-for-all, I like some Christian songs, some R&B tunes, and some current Pop melodies.  Just something with a different take where I can get a little more creative with, yet people can still recognize.  I try some covers, but honestly I'm not all that good either.   :2funny:

i like the scarf.  you can pair it up with a few different things.  it's always a plus in my book when things are more versatile then it gets more use.   O0

RW, I love it with the green blazer... pink and green are opposites on the color wheel, so they are perfect together... both are nice, but the blazer does a better job at defining your shape and refining the dress.  The cardigan is more casual, but with a light light cardigan and print dress... it does appear to expand... making you look bigger than your size 0.


Thanks LL. I think I need to wear blazer with the dress or wear the dress without the blazer.

May 9, 2012 Outfit


1.  Target Hmong scarf... wanted to take a pic of it.
2.  Marc Anthony black leather jacket
3.  Chico black skinny jeans
4.  Born red heel sandals
5.  Unincorn silver pendant (my oldest and youngest think it's a dragon unicorn... my middle and I think it's just a unicorn... lolz)

(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y65/LadyLionness/DSC01294.png)

We have the same camera.  I lost my mind when I couldn't find my camera for almost 2 weeks and only until I told my kids whoever find it will get $20 and somehow that same day my 5 yo. son was digging through the book shelves and found it nicely stack up behind stuff and only to recalled I did put it there somehow.  But instead of giving me the camera he had to put it on the stairs somewhere only to see my oldest daughter said she found it and I was like where......... she was on the stairs going up and then my 5 yo. son was like I found it 1st.........so they have to split the money. 

Are you snapping it against the mirror?  I might just have my daughter snap some photo of us playing dress up this weekend and teach me how to wear scarf from her collection.  If I like the idea then I'm just going to go through DD's Discount and Ross for it because I find Target sell them the cheapest at $14.99 while I can get it mostly for $3.99 at Ross or DD.

LL,
You look s3xy with the black boots.  Your long jackets are cute on you.  I love the green color. 

I honestly think she wear the black knee high boots well because it make her look slimmer vs. the other shoes like Born.  She has too many jackets even though she is short like me she's has more meat so those jacket seem to fit her well because her body proportions.

No casual Friday for me. Do you have one of those day when you have a outfit in mind but can't seen to find the item. I initial plan to wear this blouse with my H&M black lace skirt but couldn't find it so I settled on plain black skirt.

Modcloth Blouse
Banana Republic Skirt
Ann Taylor Pump
H&M bracelets
Express necklace
Limited Belt

Thanks... will try and play with it some more... what do you think about this scarf with the other jackets?
I looked through your pictures again and I only saw this hmong scarf paired with a bright pink jacket.  In one picture, you were carrying a hmong bag and in the other, you weren't.  Right? Or were they different jackets?  anyway, I like that pairing too,  the color play off each other very nicely.  But you have so many different colors, you could match them with the purple ones or the yellow ones.  (I'm really digging that bright yellow one, the one where you put a hat over your face.)  I guess just try it on with those different colors and see which photographs the best.
 
Oh I notice you like to wear your scarf pretty low. Do you do that for a reason? I think it would look a little more put together if you didn't extend the scarf so low.

no I don't think it look childish at all, it's  it certainly has that retro feel to it, and when I saw that you got it at Modcloth, it made sense.  I like the addition of the navy belt, but if you wanted more color, a different color belt would be more attention-getting.

pffftt! I think you and Anemone do a great job at accessorizing.  It's me that needs lessons!  I can only give critiques after seeing an outfit.  I think I do great at that aspect from all these years of reading fashion blogs and looking at the outfits from their critical eyes.  Sometimes, I'd look at the picture of the celebrity and I'd say "she looks great" until I read the little review caption... then I start to see the flaws and it'd make sense.  However, I can't quite put them to practice because I'm limited by my wardrobe and accessories.  Sad sad thing.

From what I see you have done a great job with your outfits. My wardrobe is pretty lacking too. I don't know if you notice but I have worn the same pumps for most of my outfit posted here.

You have a great eye for fashion and just need to step out of your comfort zone. Sometime I think we limited ourselves because we are so hung up about body not being the perfect body.

Reading fashion blogs has help but I admit I have a hard time taking their advise and applying them.  It's easier for me to have someone show me what wrong or how do do something.

Awesome contribution, everyone!  Love all the pix...
 
Thajyeeb, of all the outfit you have shown so far, I like this one the best... it shows off your body and you have no fat at all... lol!  The jeans fit you perfectly on the wasit, stomach, butt, and thighs... very sexy.  Peachy Fish, I can't see yours... so can't comment until I get home. 
 
Summerberry... join us... as for jackets... trust me, I search high and low for these... some of these jackets existed in my imagination for 3 to 10 years before I find them... lolz!  Once I find a brand that fits my body type... I tend to stick with it. 
 
I love m y born shoes... lolz.  I am wearing the blue velvet jacket today with the black boots and boy.. are they NOISY... people can hear me coming for miles... lolz!  My born shoes are comfy.... no sound and cute... BUT... they have sexier ones coming out... they are just too pricy for me yet.... even BORN shoes, I refused to pay for than $50 for them... I prefer between $20 and $30... I love love love love my Black BORN oxford thought... hahaha...

I don't do well with fashion blogs either... I do better with google images... when I buy something new... say a "pink leather jacket," I google "pink leather jacket style" and save the looks that I like and might want to try out... for any pieces that I am missing, like a black v-neck shirt... I keep an eye out for... and when I see it on clearance or sales... I pick up a couple of them... such as $30 shirts at sears for $4.00...

Not sure  if it's a curse or a blessing, but I have a cold core... my back is very sensitive to cold... so I can wear jackets or the very least vests during the summer time with no problems... I have hot feet... and hence the reason why I am always in sandals, even in the winter time.... as long as their is no snow on the ground, I am wearing my sandals.

The first one, being a white T was quite challenging for most of us... lolz... except them goddess and gods with the sexy bods.... so... thought to make this week's challenge a bit easier... and being mother's day weekend, most of us will be going out for dinner anyway... so... just snap a pic of your casual date night outfit and share with us... if you are not going out... then put together your version of it and share with us... there is no limit as to how many you can post...
 

Guidelines:

1)  Post them here yourself or pm them to me for posting so that you can remain anonymous.
2)  Not a competition, all participants are winners.
3)  Have fun and enjoy the challenges.

Picture 1

Dress:  Forever 21
Shoe:  Lite Stride in Black

Picture 2

Shirt:  Forever 21
Pant:  New York & Company
Shoe: Guess (kind of flat)

Picture 3

Skirt:  ??? (cut tag off)
Shoe: Lite Stride in nude/beige

Reload Wife.......... . You look taller than 4'11.  I'm the same height too but just shrink in shoe size so it much harder for me to find unless I order online. 

LL.......... You guy encourage me to dress up now but that mean I have to go shopping...... I took these today only because I was bored and didn't have my wallet to go anywhere until husband was back home for taking his licensure test in Fresno.  I still need to practice snapping photo......... .

I have very white pale legs because I don't show them off or get around to dressing...... ..

Summerberry, you look lovely. I know I often see you post that you're at home most of the time and you don't dress up much. I like to think that regardless of what our job may be, stay at home mom, working mom, etc. We all deserve to dress up from time to time.  I'm glad to hear that the ladies in this thread have encouraged you to go out and shop! Now you can come on to the forum and share your outfits of the day with the rest of us ladies!  :)

Some moms like to dress up, put on make up and do their hair even if they are home.  I can't picture myself doing that on a daily basic.  I like myself as a plain jane better and with little ones at home and constantly running and chasing them around then I'm better off just wearing sweat or regular active clothes to make it more comfortable.  I like being in jean and tee but have never own a white tee like the challenge in the other thread.  It made me realized after I took that picture today that a white tee can never go wrong with a jean pairing with other clothing articles which is why LL has over 25 photos of her.  I don't even remember when is the last time I even did a load of white clothes because I refused to buy white knowing it is dirty and hard to get off.

Hopefully once I start a little shopping here and there I'll post up more since majority of the clothes I'm wearing in those photo are just my daughter except the jean and shoes.

LL you have a great jacket collection. I like seeing you in your boots. Have you consider wearing point pump. I think they will look great on you.

Summerberry you have a great body. It's nice to see your outfits. I agreed with sunsets regardless of what you do, we (ladies) all deserved to dress nice. It's fun to play dress  up =) I'm glad we are encouraging you to going out shopping. We're such enabler  ;).

It's hard to find shoes that are small than a 6. I'm a size 5.5. My Ann Taylor only carries size 6 and up in store. I have to order my Ann Taylor online. I can't wait to see more. Please be sure to share your shopping with us.

Most of my heel/pump are only size 4.  I order online and return a few because it doesn't fit right or kind of width.  Boots 5/ 5.5.  If I'm at a store where I see a shoe in my size then I usually buy it and sometime the mark down price is a steal. 

I probably won't be going shopping until Memorial Weekend since I have to drive out of town for it otherwise there is no store here.

I use to hate my body or maybe its because I don't dress up enough to experience what fit right and what I need to do to enhance certain area.

capri Jeans, Gap
white pumps, Bandolino (a steal from Ross for $20!)
blue neck, JCP

nice.  i like to dress up casuals with a blazer and heels too.   O0

Very beautiful!

From this pic and the others that I've seen, ur always so well put together and polished! O0

I agreed

I concur. I wish I can look polish wearing just a t-shirt and jean. I always feel frumpy wearing a t-shirt and jean.

thanks, ladies.  sometimes it's the accessories that will make the outfit.   ;D

Today, I am wearing one of the outfits from the other thread... will post pix later... but it's the only one with the blue velvet blazer by Teri Jon.  Added the blue and dark blue/black scarf with it.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y65/LadyLionness/DSC01470.png)

you look great when you wear boots like this.  i also like the pic where you are wearing the pink leather jacket/target scarf with these boots.  it really lengthens your legs.   O0

The only casual day we have is the Friday the company has their summer picnic.

that's too bad.  we used to have to dress professionally everyday but fortunately, they've changed it so now we have casual fridays.   ;D

Trouble, are you hmong?

yes i am.

No casual Friday for me. Do you have one of those day when you have a outfit in mind but can't seen to find the item. I initial plan to wear this blouse with my H&M black lace skirt but couldn't find it so I settled on plain black skirt.

Modcloth Blouse
Banana Republic Skirt
Ann Taylor Pump
H&M bracelets
Express necklace
Limited Belt

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v373/shystardreamer/d6e6cd269b8e11e1af7612313813f8e8_7.jpg)

i like everything about this outfit.  simple and refined.

@trouble, chic as always, and loving the off the shoulders look! 

thanks.

i don't think you necessarily need to do it on a daily basis but you should do it once in a while.  i used to be able to telecommute so when i was working from home, i didn't get dressed up or anything.  i realized that when i didn't do that, i always felt tired, lazy, and not so good about myself.  then when i started to dress up, i felt better about myself.  you know the old saying.....the way you dress could affect your attitude and self-confidence.  i dress up for myself and no one else.  hehehe....   ;)

a black winged dress (length is not short ) I'm tall, but this dress came right down to above my knees.
(http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=7891404)

with strappy heels. it killed my aching feet and so i had to switch it to sandals later. I don't know what I was thinking.  :idiot2:

I own a few pointy toes pump, but have feet that has a big bone before getting to the big toe... so pumps tend to hurt my feet, especially pointy toes... while I do like to dress up nice, I don't believe "pain is beauty."  There's nothing beautiful or sexy about limping or walking barefoot b/c my feet hurt too much.


I know my born shoes are not the sexiest shoes out there, but I think they are not that bad looking and they are as comfortable as wearing gym shoes.

Very pretty. I love the yellow dress. The dress is such a fun and pretty print. I think it will look even better if you shorten the dress length to your knee or above your knee.

Most of my heel/pump are only size 4.  I order online and return a few because it doesn't fit right or kind of width.  Boots 5/ 5.5.  If I'm at a store where I see a shoe in my size then I usually buy it and sometime the mark down price is a steal. 

I probably won't be going shopping until Memorial Weekend since I have to drive out of town for it otherwise there is no store here.

I use to hate my body or maybe its because I don't dress up enough to experience what fit right and what I need to do to enhance certain area. 

I think we all have body issues. You look great after having your baby. I hope I look as good as you.  As for finding items that fit you. It's a trial and error. You will have to try on various clothes and see what will or will not work for you. One of my favorite blogger told me that sometime you will have to find what clothes fit better than the rest and have it alter to fit your body.  Don't be shy to try every style the store has.

my outfit of the day was this:  gap sweater, nine west top, mossimo capri, rl pumps, pearl necklace/bracelet/earrings/ring.


I love the green. It's very refreshing.
Today I wore, to my cousin's mothersday feast:

a black winged dress (length is not short ) I'm tall, but this dress came right down to above my knees.

with strappy heels. it killed my aching feet and so i had to switch it to sandals later. I don't know what I was thinking.  :idiot2:


Love those shoes.

I own a few pointy toes pump, but have feet that has a big bone before getting to the big toe... so pumps tend to hurt my feet, especially pointy toes... while I do like to dress up nice, I don't believe "pain is beauty."  There's nothing beautiful or sexy about limping or walking barefoot b/c my feet hurt too much.


I know my born shoes are not the sexiest shoes out there, but I think they are not that bad looking and they are as comfortable as wearing gym shoes.

The most important thing is comfort. Have you try almond shape shoes as an alternate to pointy one?

I'm bored today and can't go anywhere without my wallet so finally decide to play dress up....... I don't own a white tee but this thread is encouraging me to go shopping more. 

White tee : Forever 21 (my daughter)
Jean:  Levis
Scarf:  H & M  (my daughter)


I love the scarf.  You should play dress more.  :)
I like every outfit that you have.  :)
Thanks. Lavender. You're always so sweet.
RW, you look fabulous!  (as usual)  :)

Lol not always. I was surprise to find out that my husband really love this outfit. He said that I'm always dress up so it was nice to see me in a white t-shirt and jean.

I see in the fashion magazines that Sofft and Born are both coming out with sexier shoes.  For my mother's day shopping trip with my girls, I bought the red version of my born flora sandals (I have them in black, yellow, hot pink)... and a Sofft strapped tough sandals... my best find was the the nude Guess sandals... yay... got my nude shoes...

Post by: Reload Wife on May 14, 2012, 12:06:44 PM
Summerberry I hope you dont mind that I give you some feedback on the outfits you posted.

Black dress I think you wore this dress very well. I can tell you are very petite (height & weight). I think the dress looks good on you. It is comfortable and the length is appropriate (youre a mother with young kids). The only thing I would do is accessorize the outfit, perhaps a long stranded necklace or do a shorter statement necklace. I know you are very new to the whole dress up thing, so take one step at a time. ;) Overall, I think this dress is a hit!

Turquoise shirt & black pants
this outfit did you no favors. The blouse is too busy with all the ruffles that your upper body is loss. The sleeves on the blouse is too loose. The pants are pulled up way too high, my guess is the waist line is big for you so you had to hold it together with a belt? Because you can see the clinching of the fabric around the crotch area (usually happens when one pulls up the pants too high with a belt).

Red/white striped skirt I like this skirt look on you. It reminds me of how Reload Wife wears her skirts. I think you wore this well!

Im really glad this thread is encouraging you to step outside your comfort zone. I realize youre a stay at home mom with young kids so its unrealistic to dress up like this every day. If I were a stay at home mom, Id probably wear sweats all day too. But I think its also good to have a couple of nice pieces in your closet so when an occasion arises and you need to dress up or wear something nice, you have options.


Anemone you have a good eye for noticing all the details.

One thing is that I don't have accessories like necklace, bracelet, etc. because I don't really dress up and don't have a  need for them unless I go through my daughter stuffs.  I know she has a lot but then I totally forgot about it because my daughter gave me those looks like What is mom trying to do when she never dress up...........  The black dress actually has side pocket and it was my daughter.  I didn't really like fabric because it was cotton. 

I guess it time for me to do my own shopping here and there a little and maybe start getting some accessories too.  Just got to make sure my husband doesn't give me those weird looks too........... .

Summerberry - you look great! And especially for just having had a baby! I think you accessorized it well with the scarf!

Thajyeeb - I like this look on you. The blazer definitely compliments you and you look very slim and tall!

Reload - We don't see you in pants often but I totally dig the jeans on you! It makes you very slim and tall! Love how you styled the simple tshirt with the lace blazer!

Trouble - lovely as always! I wish I can pull off that look. LOL

My daughter actually had to put that scarf on me because I'm clueless.  When I told my daughter maybe its time for me to do some shopping here and there after playing dress up and feel like I need my own wardrobe...... ...She wanted me to go to the mall the next day but I told her we can't because it mean driving out of town and also we have to pick up the kids already.  I see my daughter always online looking at Forever 21, LoveCoulture, etc. and other store online.

thanks, I love the print on this dress too and I agree on the hem length, but it's only the 2nd time I've worn this dress.  If and when I do take up the hem length, I'll take in the skirt too, it's a little too big and roomy at the hip.

Summerberry your husband may like seeing you dress up. My husband always tease me about dressing up because when he first met me I rarely dress up and wasn't into makeup.

I got rid of most of my clothes that is outdated and then I never got around to buying new ones only because I didn't feel like I need it because I'm not working or anything.  My make up right now is only consist of 5-8 different shade of nude lipstick and my 2nd set of bare mineral foundation that I haven't even touch since I reorder.  I see my daughter trying to open it one day and touch it that I had to tell her No! along with trying to taste out those lipstick.  I like myself natural better and putting on make up make me look like a clown or maybe I just don't play around with it much. 

Clothes I'm not that worry about finding and searching but it will take time to find what is right for my body but problem will probably be shoes which I have to order online.  I like boots a lot but find them sometime the calf is width and not tight.

I'm giving myself a $200 budget to start a little here and there this weekend and see what I can find but mostly it will be at Forever 21 and H & M and clearance rack.

Sounds fun.  Don't be scared to try on everything... that's the only way to figure out what looks good on your body and what doesn't.  I usually take a cartfull (Ross, TJMaxx, and Marshall) and walk out with one or two pieces that fit properly and is what I like only...

Yes she is but I have to limited her shopping because I rather have her dress more appropriate for school then having a closet like she's going out or too much skin.  Many time she has clothes that I never agree to buy for her or think she would buy such clothes.  You give her $40 she come home with only 2 shirt. 

I save her photo on my file so I'll tried to upload a few of her........... . One thing I don't know how people pull off wearing those tank top or shirt that look all width and loose like falling off......... She has so many of those in her closet and not my thing.

Summerberry. You should try Ann Taylor and Loft. Sometime you can find good deal there.  I think you are smaller than me. You should try the petite 00 at Ann Taylor and Loft.
$200 is a good budget to start with.

Forever21 Blazer & Necklace
Walmart T-shirt - kinda of long so I have to fold in the bottom.
American Eagle Jean
Ann Taylor Peep Toe Bootie

The white shirt I'm wearing I actually had to pull it up a little higher and pull it in the back to tied it with a band.  My daughter wear it loose but with a cami tank because of the v-neck.  It light and almost see through that you can almost see my bra.........

Summerberry... I am so jealous... you look great for just having had a baby.  We finally get to see you!!! yay!

Thanks but you don't want to see my tummy.  I hate that I have burning marks that left scar on my tummy from a jingle bell for me during my 2nd year of marriage.  To this day I told my husband I would never participate in such thing if it was for me because I don't like it or believe it is necessary.

Whte House Black Market runs fairly small too... you should also try there.  Limited might be a good place too... not sure how small they go... but they have different cut so you may fit into one of the cut there... I am hippy so I am either a Cassidy Cut or a lexie cut...

Yes she is but I have to limited her shopping because I rather have her dress more appropriate for school then having a closet like she's going out or too much skin.  Many time she has clothes that I never agree to buy for her or think she would buy such clothes.  You give her $40 she come home with only 2 shirt. 

I save her photo on my file so I'll tried to upload a few of her........... . One thing I don't know how people pull off wearing those tank top or shirt that look all width and loose like falling off......... She has so many of those in her closet and not my thing.

Yes please share a picture of her if you don't mind.  My little girl is into t-shirt, skinny jeans and carpi right now. She refused to wear a dress out. She love pretty dress but only want to wear them at house.

I can't wear those type of clothes either. I'm afraid I will end up looking frumpy wearing them.


The white shirt I'm wearing I actually had to pull it up a little higher and pull it in the back to tied it with a band.  My daughter wear it loose but with a cami tank because of the v-neck.  It light and almost see through that you can almost see my bra.........

The Limited is not really petite friendly. Sometime their smallest in skirts and top are too big for me.
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: Reload Wife on May 14, 2012, 02:37:54 PM
I agree. Limited is not petite friend. I'm a small in their tops while I'm typically a medium in most brands.

Another store that is not petite friendly, Gap! Gap clothes run really big. Or so I've noticed in the last few years. Their medium size tops are huge on me! And I ain't small.  :D

It's due to the vanity sizing. The Limited top in XS used to fit me well now they huge on me.

Summerberry. You should try Ann Taylor and Loft. Sometime you can find good deal there.  I think you are smaller than me. You should try the petite 00 at Ann Taylor and Loft.
$200 is a good budget to start with.

Nordstorm Rack has a one day small shoe day event where they bring out all shoes sizes that are 5 and smaller and sale them. You should check out Nordstorm Event calendar.

I love Nordstorm Rack and that is one store where I can find size 4 shoe but still a little expensive compare to what I would find at Ross or Marshalls but never my size.  We don't have a store nearby but I usually go there when I'm visiting my parents because it will all be in the same shopping complex of Ross, TJ Maxx, Burlington Coat Factory, etc. 

I'm more of size 00 or 0 vs. 2 but with a flat butt and no waist then it what I'm lacking when it come to wearing jean and dress pant. 


Sounds fun.  Don't be scared to try on everything... that's the only way to figure out what looks good on your body and what doesn't.  I usually take a cartfull (Ross, TJMaxx, and Marshall) and walk out with one or two pieces that fit properly and is what I like only...

Only if we have more stores to choose for shopping then I would do the same and load up a cart full of clothes to tried on and spend more hours taking my time but can't do that because no store here unless it mean driving out of town so no luck.  I always allowed myself 1-2 hours in the evening to have a little free time for myself when husband is home from work and dinner is out of the way but only end up at Barnes & Noble.  I don't want to be seen going to Ross and Target like almost every single day because those are the 2 store I roam the most here.

I won't be going on any dates for while :-\, but I guess I can contribute.  ;)

This is what my son and I wore a few weeks ago to his gf's surprise bday party.  He's sporting a black slim fit shirt, rolled up sleeves, and a blue striped tie.  I was wearing a full Macy's Men's Store light pin stripe black suit and a Claiborne Modern Fit short sleeve shirt with no tie. 

The story was that our family was getting family pictures taken that night and the gf was invited to take pics with us (her parents and my son came up with idea).  The photo studio had a large, open room upstairs where they usually have photo shoots, but also rents for private parties.  All of her friends, her parents, uncles/aunts, and the DJ were already there at 8 PM.  Surprise was scheduled for 8:15, but my son and his gf took really long.  We actually met them on the main level at around 8:30 and I even acted angry telling them they were late. ;D  We all walked upstairs and everyone shouted out SURPRISE!  She was very surprised. ;D 

We were the most dressed out of everyone but it was OK because we were the only Asians there, so might as well look classier.  My wife was commenting on how many of the teenage friends were staring at us - probably in shock at how young we look. ::)  Most kids that age have parents that are 40+ years old.  We're not. ;)  Sorry, but the gf's mom took the pic waist up only.

Thanks RW and Trouble.  I'm learning and am glad that I have you fashionable ladies to learn from.

RW, beautiful as always!  I'm obsessed with collar necklaces at the moment too.  I picked up one from F21 few weeks ago, but I don't think it's as beautiful as yours.  The jewelry dept at the F21 here is quite limited.

Trouble,  again, beautiful and classy!  Sad to say, but the mirror in the bathroom at my place of employment is hideously small!  It's no bigger than 16x20!  When I'm not rushing out in the mornings, I will try to take at home.

Thanks for sharing ladies!

Sukie I got lucky. I has been eyeing the necklace on the Forever21 online site but didn't want to spend the money for shipping.  I went to Forever21 looking for another necklace and found the collar necklace. I have a plain gold one from Forever 21. 

The bathroom here at work doesn't have full length mirror so I use the reflection on the glass window to take my full length photo.

Sukie, gorgeous... am inlove with your necklace...


RW, love your lace skirt and the shirt... I like the necklace, but seems to be in competition with the skirt... I would love to see this necklace with a more simple outfit.  The simple dress is very ladylike and chic... that's the one thing I love about dresses... is when in a crunch for time, you don't need to worry whether they match or not.


Trouble, love both of your casual date night outfits... try swapping both top for a "opposite" color and not so neutral look... just something different.

Reload - you wear lace so well! I love the lace skirt on you.

Trouble - sophisticated as always. I wish I look that good wearing neutrals. LOL...


Been so busy here so no time for pictures.

Today I'm wearing a blue chambray shirt (Gap) w/ my navy H&M blazer and my infamous black Talbot pants. Decided to top things off with a pink necklace. Pretty casual.

Thanks. Anemone. I hope you will get a chance to post your photo soon. I miss seeing them.

Booya! Was busy so couldn't come on to comment, but I like what I see.
 
SUKIE, thanks for sharing!  See it's not so bad, right? Once you get over the first pic, then the rest comes much more easily.  I just wish the pic was expanded more so that we could see the overall outfit.  It appears that you have a flare for being sassy with that touch of leopard necklace!  :D
 
RW, I like your lace skirt outfit with the collar necklace. Someone said that they compete with each other, but I think they actually paired up pretty nicely.... it makes the whole ensemble look like something from a victorian period (as mentioned) because the lace and the intricate patterns on the necklace play off each other perfectly.  I like that it makes your collar-less blouse look like it has a collar.  Your outfit makes you look very womanly, soft and romantic. 
 
LL, about your NW ruffle peplum blazer, it's beautiful and you wore it very nicely, but here are some of my thoughts on this blazer.  To me, it just seems a little bit busy with too many elements going on in the front.  I like the ruffle lapels and the peplum together, and they give a good visual interest, but the belt is distracting, esp with those wide belt loops on the front.   I wish they were more to the inside arm area so they could be hidden by the arms and not sticking out like sore thumbs in the front.  I also think the blue color peeking out from the sleeves and the bottom is distracting and makes the overall look appear disheveled and unfinished (or unrefined?).  And maybe you could opt for a different top instead of tshirt.   I'm glad you went the vivid blue against the black (instead of  demure looking color) but the tshirt material is too noticeable (cheap?) against that nice shiny, satin material.  BUT, It makes a strong powerful suit without wearing an actual suit.  I love the overall concept though. Oh and try it with the black boots. I think the boots would make it an KILLA outfit!  Ok, sorry, this is so lengthy! *running away now*

ok before I run away, I think this is a nice enough dress, but it appears too matronly on the top half and too much dress overall for your small frame.

Your waist appears amazingly tiny!  I'll bet the tie is higher, like at the empire waist level, right? It does wonders for you.  And your medallion necklace brings the focus right to your tiny waist.

Lav,


I actually like that blue outfit alot... And I think the length is perfect... keep them coming...


Thajyeeb, I like the uniqueness of that blazer, including all the aspects that you pointed out... I do agree with you on the "cheapness of the t-shirt," but in a way... b/c the suit jacket is so formal, I needed to "dumb it down."  I like mixing super fancy pieces with really casual pieces... gives more mileage to my wardrobe... as for the sexy boots...lolz.. . it's a bit too sexy for work for me... everybody comes to work in jeans, t-shirt and gym shoes... I am one of the more dressier people there... sometimes the only one.

Yes everyone has different tastes.  I'm like to mix fancy pieces with casual pieces too, but I just think the jesery material against a satin is....... odd.  Also, I didn't mean to over criticize the outfit...I'm just giving it a critical look regardless of who is wearing it.

PS: I don't think the jacket looks formal ... to me, the ruffles and peplum speaks fun, flirty (not the "flirty" that is defined in PH), womanly, romantic but the satin and the belt speaks sophisticated and polish.

The jacket was on clearance, so it's a size too big... would not be able to wear it without the belt.  We shall see if I end up picking up the one that is a size too small... lolz.. they are out of my size... the one that is too small can be worn without the belt and left open, but not this one.  I will try the blazer with something more streamlined and see how that looks.


Just had a thought... let me try it with the belt tied back like a normal trench and see how that plays off... might negative the fact that it's a bit loose...


Thajyeeb... I would say... go ahead and critique those of us old timer all you want b/c we have been posting and will continue to post... be gentle on the newbies... lolz...

awww (hmong word) I will be gentle.
PH is too sensitive and I should realize that by now.  *knock myself on the head*
 

Thabyeej, it's nice to hear other's opinions.  Sometimes we think we look good, but our eyes don't see what others see.  I don't view your suggestions as criticizing another person's style.  Even celebrities with stylists dressing them get it wrong too!  I rather you give me an honest opinion or suggestion on how to rework the pieces than simply saying, you look great!  ;)
I understand and I think that's why I'm overly outspoken in here -- it is because I read those fashion blogs that critiques the celebrities.   ;D   When I come here, I tend to let my opinions fly free as I do on those blogs too...  :2funny:

It great way to see what is wrong with the outfit and what changes I can make.  I don't mind constructive criticism.  What I don't like is people that are made rude comments example. that outfit is ugly. Ok what make this outfit ugly?

I don't know how to describe the top.  I think it's a dress shirt.  It's grey.  The vest is also grey.  I wore brown tight.  Ummmm the vest adds style to the plain dress shirt.  Without the vest, the dress shirt is plain and doesn't have sytle. 

That's not my waist.  It's actually tied higher than my waist. 

It's comfortable.  :)

I don't know if I'm going to submit. I feel like it, but then again, I don't. The dress is a bit short.  :D

LOL I'm tiny compare to you and your son. Wow you two are taller. My husband is only 5'2" and he is shorten than my dad who is 5' 6".

Your legs look long, slender,  and not typical for someone your height. ;). Whatever you're doing, keep it up! ;D

My dad is barely 5' 6" and my mom is only 5'. Thank you American food. ::)

Trouble,
You two are fashionably beautiful as always.  Is that your twin?
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: tRouBLe on May 17, 2012, 05:29:23 PM

ok before I run away, I think this is a nice enough dress, but it appears too matronly on the top half and too much dress overall for your small frame.

i agree with thajyeeb.  i think if the top part had a deeper v-neck, then it wouldn't look so matronly.  i do like the design though.  ;)

I don't know how to describe the top.  I think it's a dress shirt.  It's grey.  The vest is also grey.  I wore brown tight.  Ummmm the vest adds style to the plain dress shirt.  Without the vest, the dress shirt is plain and doesn't have sytle. 

That's not my waist.  It's actually tied higher than my waist. 

It's comfortable.  :)

I have not been exercising and eating more.  ;D  I think I look bigger in this picture.  ;D

it's grey?  i thought it was blue, it looked blue on my screen.  i also thought it was a one piece, both vest and dress shirt.  maybe trying on a different color vest to give it some contrast?

(http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w3/ms_lin28/thursday.jpg)   (http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w3/ms_lin28/thursday1.jpg)

on me:  at top, gap sweater, express skirt, aldo pumps, necklace/earrings/bracelet from macy's.

I like the length of the skirt.  It is more like pencil skirt?  I have to make a list of store to check out this weekend at Modesto Mall and start my collection.  I might have to stick with color that I can wear year round or go with just about everything 1st before jumping into other colors. 

Accessories like bracelet, necklace, etc.  I might have to slow it down because they do cost a lot and if I was to choose between it or clothes then I rather get clothes.

Post by: SummerBerry on May 17, 2012, 07:14:34 PM
Trouble, business chic!  Thanks for sharing.

Summerberry, if you are building a wardrobe and want essential pieces that you can wear for years to come, definitely get a black pencil skirt and the classic white button up shirt.  These are two items that will withstand the test of time, and you will be able to wear them with many pieces in your closet. O0 

I think it was already mentioned for you to check Ann Taylor or Loft.  These two stores are pretty petite friendly.  Also check out Banana Republic, some stores carry petites.  H&M has some really nice pencil skirts at reasonable price so check them out too.  Sign up to receive promotions because when they do they will email you coupons.  I think if you sign up, you will get a coupon for 20% off one item of your choice.  There are so many more essential pieces to add to your wardrobe, and you just have to start with one or two pieces and go from there. 

As for jewelry, check out F21 or H&M.  A lot of my jewelry are from F21.  Target has nice jewlry too.  Check out Macy's clearance racks.  Last weekend it was additional 50% off the clearance price.  If you are patient and look you can find some great pieces for a great price!

Have fun shopping!



F21 and H & M I will look for accessories but those 2 store take time to dig in but the H & M in Modesto Mall is not that big and usually so dark inside while the kids section has brighter light.  I go to Target almost every day or every other day so I don't feel like roaming there anymore. 

I can't do white blouse because I actually still have a few blouses in my closet over the year that still has tag and haven't even worn them but just different color.  A lot of time I feel petite section of the store cater more like old lady when it come to their tops unless hitting Limited, Ann Taylor are more for the younger look and even if they have it too big unless ordering online is the only option for smaller size because I've been in a few in the past and that what they said the size they carried in the store mostly target average size while petite or misses is more online. 

Express banner are hitting my page so it look good to get $10 of a $30 until Sunday so I might have to look into it now.

That would have looked nice too, but this is also fine... a nice boho purse to offset the prettiness of the dress.

F21 and H & M I will look for accessories but those 2 store take time to dig in but the H & M in Modesto Mall is not that big and usually so dark inside while the kids section has brighter light.  I go to Target almost every day or every other day so I don't feel like roaming there anymore. 

I can't do white blouse because I actually still have a few blouses in my closet over the year that still has tag and haven't even worn them but just different color.  A lot of time I feel petite section of the store cater more like old lady when it come to their tops unless hitting Limited, Ann Taylor are more for the younger look and even if they have it too big unless ordering online is the only option for smaller size because I've been in a few in the past and that what they said the size they carried in the store mostly target average size while petite or misses is more online. 

Express banner are hitting my page so it look good to get $10 of a $30 until Sunday so I might have to look into it now.

Since you have lots of white blouse, try to find a nude one. A nude or tan blouse is a great versatile piece that you wear with anything.

I picked this two blouses in a size 4 for $4.95 each from H&M. Size 2 should fit you well.

Post by: tRouBLe on May 18, 2012, 06:16:23 PM
Oh...ehehehe.  Are you Hmong?

yes, i am hmong.   ;D

I like the length of the skirt.  It is more like pencil skirt?  I have to make a list of store to check out this weekend at Modesto Mall and start my collection.  I might have to stick with color that I can wear year round or go with just about everything 1st before jumping into other colors. 

Accessories like bracelet, necklace, etc.  I might have to slow it down because they do cost a lot and if I was to choose between it or clothes then I rather get clothes. 

yes, summerberry.  it is a pencil skirt.  i prefer those for work cause it looks more professional and i like how it forms on a woman's body.  sexy yet sophisticated.   O0

Trouble, business chic!  Thanks for sharing.

Summerberry, if you are building a wardrobe and want essential pieces that you can wear for years to come, definitely get a black pencil skirt and the classic white button up shirt.  These are two items that will withstand the test of time, and you will be able to wear them with many pieces in your closet. O0 

I think it was already mentioned for you to check Ann Taylor or Loft.  These two stores are pretty petite friendly.  Also check out Banana Republic, some stores carry petites.  H&M has some really nice pencil skirts at reasonable price so check them out too.  Sign up to receive promotions because when they do they will email you coupons.  I think if you sign up, you will get a coupon for 20% off one item of your choice.  There are so many more essential pieces to add to your wardrobe, and you just have to start with one or two pieces and go from there. 

As for jewelry, check out F21 or H&M.  A lot of my jewelry are from F21.  Target has nice jewlry too.  Check out Macy's clearance racks.  Last weekend it was additional 50% off the clearance price.  If you are patient and look you can find some great pieces for a great price!

Have fun shopping!

i agree with sukie.  you should get basic and classic pieces that will last for years.  some of my suits, i've had for a while and i still wear them.  they never go out of style.  i also try to take good care of them so they will last longer.  make sure that the pieces you get, you can mix and match to make a couple of different outfits.   ;D

Beautiful outfits as always.

thanks.

Since you have lots of white blouse, try to find a nude one. A nude or tan blouse is a great versatile piece that you wear with anything.

I picked this two blouses in a size 4 for $4.95 each from H&M. Size 2 should fit you well.

I usually roam accessories and purse/wallet at H & M.  The clothes I get confused on their size but then I usually don't buy myself anything there but love their clothes for my boys.  I have to see if I can go shopping at the mall this weekend unless my mom want me to take her to visit relatives here and there since she's here and staying for 2 weeks.

The price you got for those shirts at H & M is not bad.  I went to Ross last night just to shop for myself but end up with nothing.  Only if I have bigger feet like a size 7 I would have grab a few of those open top pump or strap pump.  I think having a size 7 in shoe is easy shopping.

I haven't walk into Fashion Bug for the longest time but look like we have one next door or same shopping complex as Marshalls that I might have to check out.  I was thinking of Wet Seal in the mall today only because I can't get a break away to go out of town to shop at the bigger mall with more stores.  Last night, I kind of clean out my closet but still got clothes on the floor that need to be organized and check through later today.  With all my kids here, my sisters and my mom it like a house full of people and no break.

Trouble....... .. I really like your style of clothing even though they are kind of pricey but the quality look good.  I think store like Ann Taylor, Gap, Limited and Express is out of my price range only because I don't work but if I still have cc then purchasing a little here and there from time to time wouldn't be problem because its good to have a few piece of their wardrobe that can be mixed and wear more often.  I like the pencil skirt but check it on their website and even on sale is still almost close to $50 but I have to check it at the store vs. ordering it online for a black one.

Are you saying your scarf from Jo-Ann fabric are usually just sewn?  Do you just measure the size with another scarf?  I don't think the price is bad if a yard of fabric is all it take to get a scarf.  It does give you more variety of print to your own taste.

RW............ I think a lot of your clothes are pricey just like Trouble too.  You seem to wear a lot of them from Express, Limited and Ann Taylor too.  I guess it is more classic and professional look compare to just getting something from Forever 21 and H & M.  I don't live on cc so what I buy has to be important and a need vs. just want and then having it sit there collecting dust.

I think blazer works with just about any outfit.  It also makes us look more formal.

I like your outfit and the color coordinations.  :)

I picked this two blouses in a size 4 for $4.95 each from H&M. Size 2 should fit you well.

I bought those exact blouses in all the avail colors...lol they're surprisingly high quality for being only $5! I wore one allll day on Saturday..it was in the mid80s...washe d it and it still looks new. Some shirts I get from H&M fall apart in the washer/dryer so I'm glad these shirts are still holding up!

Lavender - Great outfit for church.

Trouble - I love how you show us how you put together your outfit.   You're so creative with the scarf from Jo-ann.

Summerberry- All the clothes I wear from Limited, Ann Taylor and Express were bought on sale. I always shop the sales and never buy anything full price from those store unless the full price items were a reasonable price. I don't limited myself to brand label. What is important to me is how the clothes fits on me.  I hate having to deal with alternation and since I can't really sew I try to find clothes that will fit without alternations.  I find that most of the clothes that fits me are from those stores.

I spend some time looking over those website and their clothes in petite size really do run to 00 and 0 but have yet to step foot in those store to try it out myself.  Only if we have a bigger mall here with those store then I can spend my evening like 2 hour the most shopping or just giving myself a little break when my husband is home from work and after dinner is out the way.  I really want to grab a few pieces that can never go wrong with anything.

After she post this up........I check out the website and they are only $5 but too scared to order them because as much I go to H & M with my daughter and sister I only check out the purses and accessories but never the clothes and their size on the label confused me all the time.

I bought the dress at F21 for about $20 and vera wang shoe for about $50. They have the dress in few different color but can't go wrong with a little black dress. I would like it in red but they didn't have it in red, only in blue, peach and few other colors I can't remember.

You can never go wrong with classy piece. Ann Taylor currently have a few items under $50. You should check it out. http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/catalog/category.jsp?trail=&pageSize=101&gridSize=md&catid=cat810006&goToPage=1&fRequest=true (http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/catalog/category.jsp?trail=&pageSize=101&gridSize=md&catid=cat810006&goToPage=1&fRequest=true) Unfortunately not all Ann Taylor currents 00P. It seems that Ann Taylor is only offering 00P online.

Size 2 for H&M should fit you well. You are smaller than I am.

RW, comfortable shoes are hard to find.  You will get lots of wear out of those.   O0

Summerberry, H&M sizing look at the US size and ignore the rest.  The US size are even numbers by 2's:  0, 2, 4, 6, etc.  I think H&M clothes tend to run small.  I think you are probably between a 0 & 2 in H&M.

Thanks Sukie. I can't wear flats because the doesn't provide support for my feet so the sandals are prefect alternative.

Your dress is beautiful.   :)  I would wear that with silver necklace or pearl necklace and match bracelet as well.

Your shoes is very s3xy as intend.  I am being honest, so forgive me here.  If you want a wild look, the shoes will go well with your dress.  If you want classic and elegant look, the shoes won't go well.   :)  The dress is too elegant for the shoes.   :)

As Ive mentioned before, I dont have many accessories and dont know how to accessorized myself so Im always plain.

I have another black heels that I think works better with the dress but I didnt have that shoe with me at the time I took the pick and I agreed; the dress is a little elegant to be wearing that vera wang shoe with it.  If I do wear that dress for a night out, I wouldnt be wearing that shoes in the pic but the more elegant one I have at home.

In regards to the H&M tops, I wear almost the biggest size they offer, so they usually have plenty available in my size haha. Their European sizes are kind of confusing but my rule of thumb is I buy one size bigger than my pant size. So...since I wear a size 10 in pants (yeah yeah I know), I buy the size 12 in tops. Works out fine for me. I hate trying on clothes at H&M...the lines are always so long!

True the line is long and slow.  I have to wait for my daughter a few time so while she is in line I killed time just by looking at handbags and accessories.  I have to check my daughter H&M clothes to see the size she's wearing to get an idea.

Lav- great church dress! If I go to church on Sundays, I'd use that as an excuse to dress up too.

Trouble - love how you showed the transition of plain to complete! Adding the jacket and the scarf definitely completed the outfit!

Reload - glad you kept the sandals! Love that pop of color.

Summerberry - don't be turned off by the online pricing you see at Loft. It is pricey but know that they always always have sales. I have many pieces from Loft and I've never paid full price for anything. On average, most things I've bought from that store are about $20 after discounts.

What are way to get discount?  I actually want a few pants and pencil skirt that can never go wrong from those website but even if its on sale its still anywhere between $40-50 when regular price are like $70-80.

You can never go wrong with a black dress and that why I have to search for at least 2-3.  Gosh.....why does the mall have to be so far from here that I have to make time to drive out.......... I wish I could just order online but hate disappointed and return.

summerberry, here's a couple of outfits that's very affordable.  i like to mix and match different brands also.

(http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w3/ms_lin28/me.jpg)

first pic-casual:  cami (jcp), sweater (target), mossimo capri (target), scarf (jo-ann fabrics)
second pic-semi:  shirt (jcp), vest (limited), mossimo capri (target)

all this is under $80 (excluding shoes/jewelry).  the target capris fit like the talbot ones but the fabric is different.  you can find some really nice things but you will have to take the time to look for it.  there are some good deals online but i know what you mean when you say you want to see them in person.  i'm cautious about sizing online too.   :(  you can also get discounts if you sign up on their e-mail list.   O0

in regards to the scarves, i'm a bit picky on the type of fabric and design.  i couldn't find anything that i really liked so i decided to create my own.....saving money on this was a plus.   ;D   O0  you just have to figure how long you want the scarf and what type of fabric/design you want.  mine was about a yard and a half.

You people seem to find Target clothes Mossimo very fitting but I was there this morning to killed an hour break for myself looking though and nothing seem to be in my size.  Juniors clothes are too kiddie for me and then women/ladies are too big and just not my taste.  I'm trying to stay away from Juniors clothes because they don't give you that professional or casual look that I want and can never go wrong.

What style are your DKNY jean you wear earlier?  I have 2 pair of the slimming but then I feel like throwing them away because I have no hip or butt to fill it up and only the leg slim on me but upper top is too loose.

Summerberry- H&M has a good return policy.  If something doesn't fit you can always return them.
In regards to getting additional discount. You can signed up for their e-mail and wait for the holiday. Ann Taylor and Loft usually offers an additional 40 % entire store during holiday.

Trouble - Love your outfits and best part are they are under $80.

The petite friendly stores are Ann Taylor and Loft. You can find a few things at H&M but they may require alternation to the length.

Target clothes are hit and miss for me.

RW, maybe it's just me, but H&M USA, we can order online now?  I don't recall seeing the shop icon on the site?  Or have I been visiting the wrong site?  Please share link if there's online shop because I most times what I find online, I can never find in the stores.  Thanks.

Summerberry, how far is the closest mall to your locale?  The fit of juniors and kids are not made for the curves of a woman's body, but sometimes when you are extra petite, certain brand's kids sizing can be more flattering in comparisons to women's petite.  Check Macy's Junior's section.  Sometimes they have nice juniors business wear that will work well on petite women.  As trouble suggested, you just have to try different stores.  Good luck.

Either up north to Modesto which is about 30-45 min. depending on your driving speed.  If not then south to Fresno about 45- an hour.  I prefer Modesto Mall because it just right off the exit on the fwy while Fresno is too far off the exit of the fwy going toward Clovis and CSU Fresno.  I never been to their mall.  Our mall is just small with no women apparel store that you like beside Kohls, Sears, JCPenny, NY & Co and Lane Bryant.  NY & CO.  they carried the average size and hardly any petite because they are targeting customers in that area the most so if you want petite you have to order online.  They also have Wet Seal which is a store I used to shop when I wasn't married otherwise other clothing store they have there is like those typical Korean owner that have fashion and not really something you would want for the long run.  I used to be able to buy my jeans and tops there years ago but it look like they change it a little and just not my style or don't fit me anymore.  JCPenny petite is too pob laus when it come to their tops but not sweater.  Sears and Kohls.......ne ver like those 2 store.

unfortunately, i can't really suggest any good petite-size clothing stores.   :(   the mossimo line fits me ok, but i'm a bit picky on what i wear so there's only a few things i have in that line.  like i said earlier, you'll have to try different brands/stores to find which ones fit you well, it's trial and error....

the dkny jeans i have are the soho skinny.

I don't think my DKNY jean are the soho kind then because I have a darker one that I like and then recently order a lighter color one that still has tags on but never got around to wearing it because I was pregnant at that time.  I know different store has different size and they are not always the same fit but its going to take me some time to get use to finding what store size fit me and everything.  Mall are just too far and not like I can just go in the evening for a break while husband and kids are home.

RW, loving the mustard yellow and the scallop edges of your lapel-less blazer.  I like the outfit overall, and I'm not sure what, but feels like something is missing?  Maybe a belt? Not a skinny belt, but wider one?

Thanks for sharing!

The dress has a gold belt with a bow that come with it but I think the belt may be too much.  I was thinking about adding a belt but didn't have time this morning.

that's too bad that the jeans don't fit you well.  if you're able to, you should just send the one you recently ordered back.  i understand it's hard to leave the hubby and kids at home, you all should go shopping together.  you can make it a family event.  also, while you browse, he can watch the kids.   ;D

Trouble- You're are tall. I wish I as tall as you. Thanks. Forever21 is a hit and miss for me. Most of the time it a miss.

i guess height is each person's own perception, i don't think i'm that tall....more like average.  hehehe....   :D  yeah, i know what you mean about that place.  not only that but they have so much stuff, it can be overwhelming.. ..and most times, the quality isn't that great.

that's too bad that the jeans don't fit you well.  if you're able to, you should just send the one you recently ordered back.  i understand it's hard to leave the hubby and kids at home, you all should go shopping together.  you can make it a family event.  also, while you browse, he can watch the kids.   ;D

i guess height is each person's own perception, i don't think i'm that tall....more like average.  hehehe....   :D  yeah, i know what you mean about that place.  not only that but they have so much stuff, it can be overwhelming.. ..and most times, the quality isn't that great.

LOL when you are petite like me, anyone over 5 is consider tall.  :2funny:

Trouble, given that most Hmong girls are between 4'10" - 5' 0", you are considered very tall for Hmong. 

Like RW, F21 is a hit or miss for me too.  It's so unorganized it's hard to find things. 

LOL when you are petite like me, anyone over 5 is consider tall.  :2funny:

hahahaha....yo u gals are funny.  when i was younger, i used to wish i was shorter.  hehehe....   :P  just imagine, being able to see the top of people's heads, feeling like a giant, being poked by umbrellas at the soccer tourneys, etc. etc..... :2funny:

Fabi, love... I like the little black dress with the shoes.  It's true the dress is elegant, but that's the beauty of accessories... to change the "look" of the dress... I prefer this and then adding your leather jacket... preferably a black one...


Makes it less girly and more wearable for more causal events... then you can wear it with a blazer and classic pumps for a more formal occassion...


Try it with a denim jacket, brown ankle boots, brown belt and a brown purse...cross body or boho will give it a more casual look... maybe out and about at the mall or something... have fun with it... that's the beauty of clothing... it's not permanent... you can take it off...hehehee

I own a really great pair of flora embroidered jeans from there.

I will look into the store directory at Modesto Mall to see if there is one called Justice.  Might remind me of a store sign almost similar to Journey's.  I went to Kohls last night before picking up my husband medication and my mom from Dr. Lee house......... . Kohls petite section is like pog laus to me too and their size are still too big.  I saw a top that I really want to tried in PXS but the color that I like there wasn't anymore.  I guess no more Kohls, Sears and JCPenny and good thing I don't go to the mall here.

Sorry ladies. I've been so busy at work! I have a huge project I've been working on that will last til mid summer, so I haven't been able to take pix. Plus, I hate taking a photo in the restrooms here. And my outfits have been so blah and boring.

Today wearing black top, black slacks, and a grey/white striped cardigan and my beige sandals. When I got to work I realized my beige sandals does not even go with my outfit. LOL... Geesh, what was I thinking! I have some black heels here I can switch into but my beige sandals are soooo comforty I don't want to take them off. Oh wells, I can be mis-match today.

I picked up a super cute bracelet from H&M over the weekend - it's gold & yellow links so I'm wearing it today w/ my mis-match outfit.  ;D

Same here... lolz...

I agree with you... all their petite clothing are pog laus only... I mainly stick or regular... the higher end clothing brands have good petite... but they run larger... so if you are extremely skinny... that won't work either.  Who would have thought being super skinny like you is a draw back... (makes us fat ladies feel better... hehehe).

It takes time... when I was still learning... when I buy somethin new like this dress or your leather jacket... I will go and google it to see how other people are wearing it... then I save those pictures and try to find the pieces that I can re-create similar looks.  Now, most of my clothing go with each other and it's much easier getting dressed in the morning and still wearing the style that I want.

It is a big draw back because you expect petite to be smaller size than regular women size but sometime they are bigger depending on brand and store.  I don't really like Juniors clothing because that what my daughter is already wearing unless there is a few pant or top that can look more like business like then I don't mind.

Maybe afternoon when I drop off my son at preschool I will drive straight to Fashion Bug to see what they have because Lavendar seen to wear a few pieces from there and since its the same shopping complex as Marshalls then I'll check it too.

Kohls does not have a good petite selection at all. Very pog laus. I see a lot of elastic waistbands in their petite sections! No thanks!

I looked at Sears petite a few months ago and wasn't impressed either. It reminds me of Kohls, the clothing looked too old fashion.

JCP is a hit/miss. And I think it depends on the store and area. I live in a big city and the JCP by my house is well stocked and the petite section is pretty big. They have some clothes that are pog laus but they also have some decent stuff. I've bought skirts and pants from JCP petite before and it doesn't look pog laus.

The JCP across town is smaller and their petite section is very pog laus, again...elasti c waistband and polyester pants or wild design blouses.

Our JCPenny is a small section for Petite and very pog laus about the size of my master bedroom or even smaller.  Only store left to check out if Lane Bryant and NY & CO but I already know its too big so I'm not bothering with it and hopefully I can find some time this weekend to go shopping out of town or even to the outlet.  PH really got me hook up that I must do a little shopping to have a few pieces of wardrobe these day.

Petite girls has a hard time when it come to shopping for clothes. The clothes are either too big or too pog laus. When you do find a item of clothes that does fit it's expensive.

SB, don't go to Lane Bryant. Lane will be way too big for you.

NY&Co also runs big. You might find some nice cardigan in XS but it might still be big depending on style. I am a Small in NY&Co and I am not small! But NY&Co sometimes have some decent stuff so it's worth checking out but just know that they do run a little big in size.

Do you have Gap Kids in your mall? Regular Gap runs very big (again I am a small in their sizing). But if you have Gap Kids, it's worth checking it out. I know a lot of petite bloggers have lucks with finding some great pieces at Gap Kids.


Now everyone is recommending kiddie clothes.  I love Gap for their sweater which I have plenty.  Our store directory if you look at it we got no good stores which is why I don't really care about stepping foot inside the mall.  I may go like 1-2 x a year but stand around looking dumb or sit outside while my daughter get what she came for at Aeropostale and go home and never look around at other store. 

I actually like to dig outlet center better but most location are almost 1 1/2 hour drive away.

BCBG is gorgeous but way too pricey for me. I don't think I have the patience to search ebay. LOL... But then I've never come across anything I really really want enough to search for it on ebay. Maybe I need to utilize it more?

I'm like you LL, when I see something and it fits me well...I tend to buy multiple colors, etc.. This usually happens with jeans only though. Last month I bought 4 pairs of the same jeans in diferent colors! LOL! Red, white, dark blue, light blue!  :2funny:

When something fit me well I do go and buy multiple colors in case they don't have the style anymore and hard to find.  That what I did with my Life Stride shoes in all the color.  No more jean for me but just need to find a perfect fit pant/slack and maybe get 2-3 color along with 2-3 pencil skirt.  Blazer is a easy find but it just the length that I'm concern if I'm wearing it too long or too short or is it okay to fold the cuff.  Top/shirt is something I can buy from time to time and wear it with what I already have.

I honestly prefer not to shop in kids selection for myself. The reason being the kid clothes doesn't fit me well and  that I have a little girl who loves going through my clothes and will tell me that I'm too old to be wearing kids clothes.

I think kids clothing would be ok for the basics, but I wouldn't do anything trendy in kids clothing then you'll just look like a kid. Plus, Gap isn't super trendy (in my opinion), they are more your classic, basic clothing pieces.

From the bloggers I've seen, they pick basic stuff - jeans, khakis, button downs, tshirts, jackets. And it looks good and doesn't look like they are playing dress-up or trying to be a kid again. I say if it fits, go for it. Back when I was skinny (very long time ago...ahahaaa), I used to buy Gap Kids pants all the time because it fit well. The fact that it came from the kids department didn't bother me.

And ultimately, I think it's how you wear it that matters. I'll try to post some examples later when I have more time.
I carry most of my weight on my hip and thigh. I don't think kids pant will work on me. There is nothing wrong about shopping in the kid department.

I love the look of that scallopped jacket...gave your outfit a unique look to it.   I also like your pleated mustard skirt.   I could never wear pleated anything because I just don't think it looks good on me.  *sigh*
 
sukie, i'm not that tall, only 5'5".   8)
again, as sukie said, you're pretty tall in comparison to us shorties...
 
And you guys mentioned Justice...I've been to Justice plenty of times with my daughter and they're usually very trendy pieces for children.  The clothes are flowery and glittery.  Even my daughter is sick of them now.  You guys must be tiny people to get clothings from there because I know that nothing from that store would fit my thunder thighs or arms.  :2funny: :2funny:

Reload Wife,
Your outfit is beautiful as always.  I wouldn't say no to any of them.  They are all very cute, feminine, and unordinary.

Ameno,
I love your blouse.  It's pretty and I like how the fabric shines.  :)

Thanks Lavender - You're always so sweet to me.

Dark sportcoat, olive earth tone slacks (looks kinda brown here  :-\ ), blue pinpoint, tangerine dotted tie, cordovan brown belt and matching shoes.   8)

Love the color combs.
I love the look of that scallopped jacket...gave your outfit a unique look to it.   I also like your pleated mustard skirt.   I could never wear pleated anything because I just don't think it looks good on me.  *sigh*
 again, as sukie said, you're pretty tall in comparison to us shorties...
 
And you guys mentioned Justice...I've been to Justice plenty of times with my daughter and they're usually very trendy pieces for children.  The clothes are flowery and glittery.  Even my daughter is sick of them now.  You guys must be tiny people to get clothings from there because I know that nothing from that store would fit my thunder thighs or arms.  :2funny: :2funny:
 
 

Thanks - The skirt is actually a dress.  I think you can wear pleats.  You just need to find the right kind of pleats that will work for your body.

Justice is my daughter favorite store. She love the t-shirt, colored shorts and sporty clothes from Justice. I doubt I will be able to wear Justice jeans.

Trouble, I like the pop of green, and the accessories just gives it that right touch of bling.

thanks, sukie.  the necklace/bracelet are actually a mix of pearls and beads.  the beads have a hint of green and blue in them so i thought they'd be perfect with the sweater.   ;)

Post by: Reload Wife on May 22, 2012, 04:28:09 PM
Anenome, I like the black on black with the gray/white cardigan.  I like nude with black so I think your nude heels works with your outfit.  I think you just think it looks off because your pants are black. 

RW, like what I said to Anenome, I like the dark on dark with the lightness of the white/blue print top.  Thanks for the info on the sales at AT and Loft.

HPA,  O0

You're welcome. Let us know if you get anything.

Those tops sold out quickly. I went to H&M on Thursday and got the two blouses. When I went back on Sunday, they were sold out in all the sizes and colors expect for the blouse I was wearing.

HM is a hit/miss for me all the time!  I would say 95% of the time, I do not find the things online at the stores.   :(

I notice that something the items maybe shown online but they are not available at the store until a couple week later. Last month I saw the $4.95 blouse online but could not find them in store until last week.

My husband does like it better when I dress more business like as well, but I have been doing it for so long that I cringe everytime I think about it... even when I put on the lace dress with the pinstripe blazer (at the request of my daughter... I was hesitant... but relented b/c the dress was lace and by BCBG... and the blazer was not plain... but had interesting details to it... and then the nude heels were so sexy... I went with it...)

A lot of my active wear are from the girl section in their Large but I usually just get it at Walmart and Target otherwise women section at Marshalls and Ross in small for top only.  I do stock up on them if they fit well.  Target petite xs short length in their active wear pant fit me perfectly but too much..........

I like the colors in this outfit...and the texture of the blazer too. 
 
In the full length picture, with your hands on your hip, I think the hem of the blazer can be shorten a bit by an inch or two.  To me, the blazer is throwing off your proportions... it's stretching out your waist and, combined with the shape of the skirt, it makes your legs appear short (and we know you're not short!).

I think my better half is used to it now cause most days I look like I just rolled out of bed.   :2funny: :2funny:

sometimes, i'm like that too.   :2funny:

yeah, i know what you mean.  unfortunately, some fabrics make me look bulky on top so to avoid that, i need a little longer blazer.    ;)  too bad i can't wear shorter skirts/dresses (1-2 inches above the knee)....:(....then i wouldn't look short.  hehehehe....   :P

Hi, Elise.  Of course, you are more than welcome to participate.  We love seeing all the different styles of all the participants.  Looking forward to it. 
 
We have a couple of different fashion challenges going on.  Last week's was date night.  This week's (due Friday) is camo/ outdoorsy looks... anything that has a touch of outdoor wear... incorporated into street wear is what we are going for.  This one is challenging... so we have only one submission so far. 
 
Looking forward to seeing your style.

Mossimo Orange top from Target - I loved it so much I bought it in royal blue and magenta. LOL
Mossimo Black Cardigan from Target
NY& CO Dress pants
Nine WEst Heels
F21 ethnic inspired necklace

(http://i49.tinypic.com/zo71xg.jpg)

Here's my FAT self. I've gained so much weight. The top is actually loose around the waist which I like. It's also wrinkly but I didn't have time to iron it so I didn't care. I sit at my desk all day so no one would notice. lol
(http://i49.tinypic.com/2lbdziw.jpg)

I also want to post a pix of when I was losing weight. Boy I am CURVY! I wore this outfit to a funeral. I love the dress. It complements with a big fat belt but in this one I didn't wear one.

Hopefully I will have time tonight to take pix of ALL my camouflage items... I have a ton of them b/c I am so inlove with the look... love that sexy toughness that it brings to an outfit.

I think that's what it is  :) .  Unfortunately I do not have any camouflage wear at this time.

I tried dressing in a few style of them last night but khaki short are too short and I won't bare my leg so I won't share and already delete it from my camera.  My daughter help me put a few outfit together mainly from her clothes.  I finally told my daughter about these challenge in PH for the fun of it since she was curious why again......... . My husband was walking by and giving us looks that I had to smile and bump him and tell him its just for fun too. 

We'll see if I can find something later tonight....... .....

DC, I think you look great in both outfits.  You have to embrace your figure, girl.  We can't get away with it what we were born with.  Just "WORK IT" (as they say LOL!) and you'll be surprise with what you see.  I've always thought I've gotten too big over the last few years, but, after trying on fitted clothes instead of my usual baggy clothes (that I seem to have a lot of), it came to my pleasant surprise that I am NOT as big as I thought I was and even though I've gained weight around some areas, I can still look pretty darn good in nicely fitted clothes - when I wear them!  So, all is not lost. 
 
Do you watch What Not To Wear?  most of the times, they featured full-figure women who don't know how to dress their shapes so they accentuate all the wrong areas.  At the end of the show, they usually walk out with nicely fitted clothes that accentuated the curves and hide all the lumps and bumps.  The clothes that they ended up buying (thanks to the help of Stacey and Clinton) always makes them look strong, lean and sophisticated. 
 
And yes, you do have a very CURVY figure. Your 2nd pic reminds me of Peachy Fish when she posted up a similar outfit.  She was very curvy as well.
Thanks for sharing!

Thank You.

I currently do not have cable so I haven't seen the show in 2 years. When I use to have cable I did watch it from time to time. Even then I wasn't inspired at all cause outfits they chose didn't suit my taste at the time. Currently, I feel like I'm more comfortable in what I'm wearing for a bigger lady myself. Now I need to concentrate on losing weight so I can more fitting clothes to show my curvy self.



trouble, i like the touch of color and ruffles.  O0

DChick, both outfits are beautiful.  The self is always its worst critic so do not feel that way. You radiate with beauty inside and out!! O0

Thanks for sharing.
Thank YOu.

DC- Yay we finally get to see a full body shot of your outfit. I love the color. I'm glad you are inspired to dress up more.

I'm a firm believer that you should always find clothes that fit the body you currently have instead of the body you wish you have.  We ladies all things about our body we dislike and would glad change if we could.  I don't think anyone should limited themselves because of their body type.

I've been MIA from PH but here's my OOTD.

Mossimo Orange top from Target - I loved it so much I bought it in royal blue and magenta. LOL
Mossimo Black Cardigan from Target
NY& CO Dress pants
Nine WEst Heels
F21 ethnic inspired necklace

(http://i49.tinypic.com/zo71xg.jpg)

Here's my FAT self. I've gained so much weight. The top is actually loose around the waist which I like. It's also wrinkly but I didn't have time to iron it so I didn't care. I sit at my desk all day so no one would notice. lol
(http://i49.tinypic.com/2lbdziw.jpg)

I also want to post a pix of when I was losing weight. Boy I am CURVY! I wore this outfit to a funeral. I love the dress. It complements with a big fat belt but in this one I didn't wear one.
(http://i45.tinypic.com/ilzrsj.jpg)

nice.  i like the necklace.  i've been thinking about getting something like that but still debating.....

trouble, i like the touch of color and ruffles.  O0

Trouble,
You two are fabulous as always.

Post by: Reload Wife on May 25, 2012, 03:06:03 PM
Trouble, I agree with RW on the power suits!  I like that you added the nautical stripes; it adds interest to the cream suit.  O0

RW, I like your pleated skirt and you wear it well.  As much as I love pleated skirts, it doesn't favor my curvaceous figure.  :D :D :D  I like that you added gold necklace to the outfit.  I think gold goes so well with most colors.  I especially love it with black or dark colors. 
Also like your dark on dark outfit with the drop pearl earrings.  O0 

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Sukie. The last outfit is navy blouse under a black dress. Sorry for the bad quality. It's raining here.

I had no clue who I was back then... no idea how to dress myself or what I even like...

This is my dressing style. I love this simple dressing.. I have a lot of shorts like that.

I won't purchase short for myself but if I have to wear one can always dig through my daughter closet or those in the storage bin in the garage.  I have to be more cover up in person or around people so less skin is only in my own home or with my own family........ .....

I have many shorts and tank tops... but if I have guest than I will cover up.. otherwise.. that's all I wear at home.

With no guest or friend stopping by our place at all.  I can run around in just tank top and bikini or boy short undies without a problem because my kids are still young.  Husband and I have no problem.  Good thing about my house........b oth of my side wall facing neighbor house has no window so they can't see anything going on...........

Reload Wife..........  I was paying attention to sale and regular items on Limited website vs. their clearance section....... .....  I finally figure out that maybe shopping at the Limited is not bad after all because the price is reasonable for something that can never go wrong like a nice blazer, pencil skirt, etc.  I'm just afraid of ordering them online because I'm not sure about my size yet and the mall is too far and most of my weekend are either dealing with something that I haven't had the chance to shop.  I hope after this weekend dealing with a funeral in Stockton and then dropping off my kids to my parent for the summer (I would have done it this weekend because Friday is their last day of school) will give me a break to do what I want even if my baby is home with me here.  I can just stroll her without a problem and still shop.

you look nice in the lace dress.  i noticed that lace dresses/skirts/tops have been really popular this spring.

I like trouble's idea of creating an outfit that is under $50 excluding shoes and jewelry....  but I think it would be too easy if we don't match it to a theme... such as work appropriate or date outfit or something... what do you ladies think? 
 
I am a bargain shopper, so this would be easy for me... hehehe.... I hope... lolz!

that's a great idea  O0 .....or even something you would wear to a work/holiday party?  just let us know.

summerberry, there are some really good sales out there.  you just need to take the time and look.  sometimes it can be time consuming but then there are those times that it is totally worth it.   ;)  too bad the mall is too far from you.  like you said, hopefully you'll have some time this summer to browse and shop.   :)

the navy blue and black look the same...but they're not. 

I used to wear bandanas all the time in high school (no, no gang affiliation here) and then I stopped (especially since my dad used to steal my bandanas and use to them when he played soccer--eewww, I don't want it back).  But a few years ago I was working in a local deli and u either had to have a hat on or something or opt for the hair net.  Thus I sported my bandanas almost everyday.  I did that for about two years.

Reload Wife..........  I was paying attention to sale and regular items on Limited website vs. their clearance section....... .....  I finally figure out that maybe shopping at the Limited is not bad after all because the price is reasonable for something that can never go wrong like a nice blazer, pencil skirt, etc.  I'm just afraid of ordering them online because I'm not sure about my size yet and the mall is too far and most of my weekend are either dealing with something that I haven't had the chance to shop.  I hope after this weekend dealing with a funeral in Stockton and then dropping off my kids to my parent for the summer (I would have done it this weekend because Friday is their last day of school) will give me a break to do what I want even if my baby is home with me here.  I can just stroll her without a problem and still shop.

Limited does have good piece you can find an affordable price. The only problem is that most of the clothes are not petite friendly. Their extra small and small can be big at time. I used to always  shop at Limited and Express but now I shop more at Ann Taylor and Loft because those store has a better petite selection.

Finding clothes that fit you may be overwhelming task but just remember to try on the clothes. You will never know what fit you if you don't try it. 

I hope you get a chance to go shopping.

There is just something about the pant I don't like. Maybe it because my daughter used to wear those kind of pant when she was younger.  Personal I don't like the floral pant even though I love the floral skirt.

In this thread... the hat and pink leather jacket... 4 pix... from all 4 directions... lolz... the flowers wraps around the left leg and then there is some on the bottom of the right leg and some on the front pocket of the right side as well...

ok I see it.  I had to go back several pages.  I think, as RW said, the concept of embroidered flowers wrapping around the legs is a little too young for us.  It's cute, but not age-appropriate because the embroidery extends all the way down the one leg.  Had it been just a little bit in the front, I would've liked it much more.  But  If you're ok with that, then wear it and own it. Who cares what we think, right?! LOL  So if you're gonna own it, then hem it.  :2funny:   Sorry I'm very anal about hemming... I don't know why it's such an easy thing to do but most people dont do it.  It makes or breaks the whole outfit, imo.   I thought you were wore flats, but it said "aldo ankle boots"... and I was just gonna about say put on a pair of boots! LOL
 
PS:  I love LOVE that leather blazer jacket.

yes my daughter loved these pants too, basically anything with flowers and glitters.
now she's older and won't even think about it anymore.

Lolz... I should hem it... but I am so lazy... hahaha... I still have pants hanging in the closet that needs to be hemmed...
 
I have a few other ones that the embroidery is just on the side... or a little bit on the front or the back... but these are my favorite b/c of the asian looking flowers and the wrapping around the leg.
 
Leather blazer is one of my very first ones.... before I discovered more colors and more styles...

My little girl used to always wear skirt or dress only when she was younger. I couldn't get her to wear pant even if the weather was cold outside. Now I can't get her to wear a dress at all.  She is in her t-shirt and skinny jean phrase.

Lolz... the main piece in that outfit was the pants... and for some reason, I always pair it with this blazer... the hat was a last minute thing so I could post in the hat challenge... but I will hem up the pants... and it does get too too wrinkle... that's one thing I don't like about clothes from the kids section... there's too much elastic in them and they don't wear as well...

No, I don't have money to burn... am just a leather fanatic... plus my co-worker still have a bunch of my dresses and blazers that she is hemming up... hehehe.... I can usually do pants on my own... but just don't think about it when I am home and have the time... the only time I think about it is when I am about to put them on...
 
Plus, I am a bargain shopper, so I don't really pay alot for my leather jackets... the yellow, red, blue, orange and green wilson leather jackets that all look the same and I wear with the first lace skirt... I paid $20 for each one except the yellow one which I bought from the mall for about $120... it's my second most expensive b/c I really really really wanted it.  My next most expensive one is my olive green Andrew March which I paid about $140...and the usually retail between $500 to $600... and then after that... it's my kelly green Tommy Hilfiger that I paid $100 for... I think my red wilson shorten leather trench was fairly expensive too... but I don't remember how much... might be around $100... but all the rest were roughly around $30 to $40... I try to stay around $50 for leather jackets unless I have been searching high and low for them... I lost a kelly green leather jacket b/c they won't come down from $250 to $150... kind of still regret it... but I just can't pay that much for a jacket... mall price for that jacket was $500.  Still waiting for the Diane Von Furtzenburg Kelly Green Leather moto to come down to $200... retail for $650... and on ebay for $350...

you look nice in the lace dress.  i noticed that lace dresses/skirts/tops have been really popular this spring.

that's a great idea  O0 .....or even something you would wear to a work/holiday party?  just let us know.

summerberry, there are some really good sales out there.  you just need to take the time and look.  sometimes it can be time consuming but then there are those times that it is totally worth it.   ;)  too bad the mall is too far from you.  like you said, hopefully you'll have some time this summer to browse and shop.   :)


I check the store locator for Limited and it seem they are all far from here like Sac. there is 2 stores but I don't shop or go anywhere when I'm up there because were only there for family gathering like jingle bell, baby hu nplig, etc. which is like leaving the house Sat. noon and getting there in the afternoon and sleep overnight and get up Sunday morning for the event and after it is over head home straight 2 hour away.

Since I'm from southern CA.  I'm dropping my kids to my parent for the summer next week instead of this weekend since we have a funeral to attend and I can't be missing or not help.......... .  I will just go shopping at Cerritos Mall which is just 5 min. on the fwy from my parent.  They have a few other location close by too but I'm not familiar with those malls or shopping complex.

Sukie - Thanks. I received lot of compliment. People really like the shoes with the cardigan.

Lavender- Thank you.  I love the color of the blouse. It necklace looks great with the color.

Anemone - Thank you.  I only had 30 minutes before the mall closed so I stop by Ann Taylor and Banana Republic which didn't have anything good in my size. I did pick up  stackable mint ring and earring from Banana Republic. BTW the 50% of sale at Loft is still running.

Tried on, but haven't bought any... at the time, they were a bit too pricey and there were other things I wanted to buy, so left them behind...

Trouble - I love the black and white outfit with the polka dot scarf.
Trouble, classic!  Love the touch of polka dot!

thanks, ladies.

trouble, I like your outfit from today... you look so fresh and ready for a stroll in a garden.
 
I can't participate as much anymore... I'm entering into my program soon and I need to do a lot of studying for the entrance exam (which is only in 3 weeks!).  So, I'll check in from time to time. 

thanks.  i wanted to add something different to the outfit.   ;)

good luck on your studying and your exam.

Somehow I end up matching my shoes to my cardigan. This wasn't planned. I had another outfit in mind but couldn't find the skirt.

Loft Cardigan
Limited Cami
Express Skirt
Sole Society Sandals
Forever21 Necklace
Banana Republic Rings.

you look nice, RW.  i really like the pastel colors on you.   O0

I check the store locator for Limited and it seem they are all far from here like Sac. there is 2 stores but I don't shop or go anywhere when I'm up there because were only there for family gathering like jingle bell, baby hu nplig, etc. which is like leaving the house Sat. noon and getting there in the afternoon and sleep overnight and get up Sunday morning for the event and after it is over head home straight 2 hour away.

Since I'm from southern CA.  I'm dropping my kids to my parent for the summer next week instead of this weekend since we have a funeral to attend and I can't be missing or not help.......... .  I will just go shopping at Cerritos Mall which is just 5 min. on the fwy from my parent.  They have a few other location close by too but I'm not familiar with those malls or shopping complex.

Once I get an idea of what size really fit me then back home I can always order online.

summerberry, keep in mind that not everything will fit the same....for example, i've tried different styles/colors of the gap skinny jeans and i don't always wear the same size.  some may be made smaller/larger than others.  when ordering online, try to see if there's free shipping for returns.


(http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w3/ms_lin28/stripes.jpg)

target shirt, rl sweater, dkny jeans, bcbg pumps, pearl necklace/earrings/bracelet.  unfortunately, i did a "don't" with the pumps and jeans but i was fine with it.  hehehe....   :P

Mr.luvs.Mrs,
The camera is finicky in that it doesn't really show what we see with our eyes, but it's own thing... so to get the camera to love the items as the eyes, it must be from the right angle, twist, turn, and lighting to create what the eyes naturally love...

There were soooo many good sales this past weekend! And I'm so bummed I didn't get in on any of it! I was out a few times at the stores but I was with my 2 yr old the entire time. My husband was out of town all weekend, plus I was entertaining my sister who visited, so that meant no me time to do some real shopping!

Urgh. I am crossing my fingers that Loft 50% off is still going on.... I spotted some stuff but my 2 yr old was running out the door so I had to go chase her.  ::)

Did anyone do any shopping over the Holiday weekend?

My 2 yo. son is like that so can't take him anywhere at all.  I'm just waiting for my kids to spend the summer with my family and then I'm home alone with just the baby then I can do whatever I want.  One thing is that being home.........m y husband come home most of the time for lunch break and it like I can't seem to break away or feel like I always want to be there because it usually when we can have a nice conversation or some time to talk without the kids interrupting all the time.

I noticed that about jeans too because I have a few that are the same style/brand and size but feel different in some way that you can tell it off a little or something.  Its always best to try it on in the store before buying even if stocking up in a few color/style.

Your hat kind of remind me of my fil favorite black one that he left at my house and now that he's gone I just kept it for memories and probably want to frame it nicely whenever I get the canvas painting of him done.

here's one where i've posted a billion times on here already...when we first got the car, i was super excited, i wanted to take it for a spin and had to wear a hat w/ it or else my hair will be a total mess  ;D

now it's a hassle just driving it that i would rather drive my other car instead...

It's casual the whole week so I've been wearing non business..

I want to share this shirt because it's one of my favorite and the only one I have in red. It's so comfy and flowy. The fresh red color brings out the natural brightness color to  my face. I've been on a hunt for more red top but have not been successful.

I am too..more like I'm a plain person.  I like to wear plain clothings such as solid color, hardly any strips or floral. I don't even accessorize myself except for earrings. Finding something to wear already took enough time, I don't have the whole morning to find accessories. hahaha..

HAHA! I know how you feel! For my brother's reception, girls were stressing out as to what to wear, for months! I just went out and bought a summer dress along with accessories within a matter of weeks! I don't have time to make things complicated!!

I can't see the rest of you ladies' outfits... but Yugnag... I love the whole thing... even the skirt.  Gives you a very nice shape...
 
The thing I love about fashion is that once you have learned what works with your body and your style, it's a lot easier to shop and once you have pieces that work well together, getting dressed is no longer that big of an issue.  I used to have a hard time even though I have a lot of clothes b/c they did not integrate well... I have spend the last 1 year to 2 years buying the bridging pieces and now most of the clothes in my closet work well together...
 
Now it's easy to dress up jeans and dress down cocktail dresses b/c I have all the right pieces now... now I just have to find time to organize everything.

I have not had the urge, but I could see where Yunag is going.. often times, if I have on an outfit that is very nuetral in color... I would wear a colored shoe... took me a long time to find my yellow, pink, red and green shoes... now I just need blue and purple then I am good to go.

My dress is a mixed of pink, corals, white and red so I chose a nude sling back. I think a coral colored pumps would have work but I don't have a coral colored pump.

Wow, Elise, that is sexy!  I thought it was a dress. 
 
To make it appropriate for a wedding, you could add a cardigan, blazer or a scarf wrap for the shoulders... then you should be good to go.

I am an engineer, so I work in an office and this is actually head quarter, but we are a medium size, privately owned compay so the dress code is very lax here... most of the people wear jeans, t-shirts, and tennis shoes.  I am used to wearing suits to work, so I can't go that route, but have learned to adopt it in my own way.
 
Our office is kept fairly cold at 70 degrees.. many of us turn our heaters when it gets too cold.. hahaha... I live in southern IL, so it's still cool in the morning and when it's hot at noon or evening, I just carry my jacket/ trench/ or blazer.  When it gets really hot, I use a button down shirt in lieu of a blazer... similar look, but not as hot... my issues is that I have a cold back... always needing something to cover it up... and hot feet... so I am also in sandals, even in the winter time.

Thank you, Trouble.  I have always looked the look of a long necklace with a big pendant, but I didn't like the look of most long pendant necklaces are the stores... I wanted something more unique... so I started looking for unique silver pendants... and then just putting them on necklaces I have or buying a few... I am really into them at the moment so I wear these three every day unless they clash with my outfit... or unless the outfit really calls for something different.
 
Even then, I usually wear the horse pendant.

Thanks - Trouble. Now that I can't shop as much as I want to. I have find dresses that are versatile.  I love your cute and casual outfit. I need to learn to dress down.
@tuesdaysgirl, great assemble, espcially love the turquoise bow top. 

@Yunag, your outfit looks great!  I especially love how you added the leopard print shell to accentuate the black/white dress giving the outfit an unexpected yet pleasant look.

@RW, I'm gonna sound like a broken record, but as always, nice!  The color of your dress you layered is gorgeous.  I love the shape and style of your multi color dress.  I too think I know where Yunag is going with her idea regarding a pop of color.  I think pink and yellow goes well together, and think that dress will look great with yellow heels; you can always all a yellow skinny belt to tie with the heels.  I also think pink and turquoise is a great combo, so you can also pair with your turquoise heels that we all adore with this dress and it will look splendid.  ;)

@trouble, I have a love affair with stripes so I'm loving your outfit!

Thanks for sharing everyone!


Thank you for the suggestion. I like the idea of the yellow heels with the yellow belt.  I would have to try the turquoise heels with the dress. I can't really picture it.

No, you haven't missed the photo.  Have been busy and not in a picture taking mood... lolz! 
 
Here is a repost of the pendants... sorry about how big the picture is... I guess the better to see the details.
 


The pendants are super cute. A pendant is a great way to add interest to a outfit.
Sooo...for hnub no...  ;)

Office admin day with heavy calls.  Busy busy, so comfy clothing is in order.   O0 O0

Textured denin, tan belt and tan loafers (loafers not shown), C&B checkered pinpoint, sportcoat (behind me on office chair)...   8)


Looking sharp.


ON dress, print
Limited cardigan, black
JCP belt, red
Nine west pumps, black

Love the print. I haven't have much luck with ON dress. Usually ON dresses are too big on me.

Fabioretta, great top! I love the length of the sleeves.
Yubnag, cute outfit. It's perfect for a night out. I would definitely wear something like that.
tRouBLe, very chic. I really like the top. :) As always, you look great.
RW, I love that dress. I think the necklace compliments  your shoes so well.
LadyL, nice jacket! The necklaces are so cute.
HPA, nice.

SUKIE, thank you. Did I miss your outfit?  :)

Thank you. I feel very ladylike with the outfit.
thanks, ladies.

nice pendants, LL.

i know what you mean, ST.  sometimes i think i look odd in my mirror pics.  hehehe....   :P

nice dress, TG.  i can never find any good dresses at ON.....or maybe it's just my luck.  hahaha...   :D

outfits of the day...



work:  jcp cami, gap sweater, limited skirt, leggs hose, cl simple pumps, pearl earrings/necklace/bracelet/ring

When I get home, if I change, it's usually into a maxi skirt of some sort... I don't like being hot, but I don't like wearing shorts b/c they are not much more comfy than my work close.

My contribution since I won't be here tomorrow.  :P

A simple black dress I wore for New Year's Eve a few months ago. Out of pocket for dress was $15--thought it was a great deal. Earrings are from Dots ($3.00), heels are from Payless (not shown).

The second picture I took so you ladies can see the detailing of the dress.  :)

Elise, nice outfit.  From the pix, I thought it was a dress, but it's even better that it's separates!  You can add a shaw for the wedding, but I don't need it's necessary because it's not like your outfit is revealing any unappropriate bodily parts. 

Perhaps it's just me, but when I'm at a wedding, and on the dance floor, I don't like to lug a shaw around with me so that shaw is often left on the chair.   :2funny: :D

Yuna, again, love the added touch of leopard to your outfit. 

Thanks for sharing.

Sukie, you make a good point. I wouldn't want to lug around a shawl at the wedding. Plus it's going to be in the 90s this weekend! Too hot for that. Maybe I'll try to find something lighter to go over my shoulders.


AOZ and sunsets, those are pretty dresses, and for a great price too!

Oh my gosh... my blue Kenneth Cole trench coat just came in and it is exactly what I wanted... as far as color, fit and length goes.  I might have to get the sleeve shorten a bit... but no big deal!  I have been looking for one in this color and everything in the past have been way more than I was willing to pay.
 
Found this one ebay for $30!!!  Yeah!!!  Love the whole outfit today.  Hopefully I have time to snap some pix later in the afternoon.  If not, I will be sure to recreate this outfit and take pix to share next week.

5.  Red Born flora heel sandals (I don't have blue shoes yet... and I keep seeing red purse paired up with this color trench, so I figured I would do a red shoe... lolz!)

Sukie,
 
My husband was doing a valentine banquet and I packed two long formal dresses.  After we got there, it turned out that it was casual.  I was lucky in that I grabbed this on the way out the door... (it was hanging on the closet door). 
 
Plus my husband thought the dress was too short... so I didn't have much with me to "cover up."  Lolz... I do like the look of ankle boots with dresses... it makes the whole outfit less formal in a way... and gives it some edge... but I think it's a little off in this out... it's probaby due to the jacket being velvet... might have been ok with  a leather jacket and scarf...

Aww! You ladies all look so gorgeous and lovely... and there's more of you showing your pictures.  Yay! 

Yubnag, you have such a sexy and feminine silhouette in that dress that you wore out to dinner!  I don't know if anyone's told you this, or if you know this yourself, but in every picture I've seen you've posted of yourself, you've always looked so well dressed.  I don't mean the quality of your clothes, but how you wore the clothes to give your body a pleasing shape.  You seem to know how to dress your body because each piece is well fitted and each piece suits and flatter that particular area.  For ex, the white top clearly shows off your feminine assests, but the focus is on the long bottom half, where the black column of the skirt effectively makes you look long and tall.  The jacket is great too because it also draws attention to the narrow of your waist.  You look stunning in these kinds of looks.  I wish my stepdaughter, who has your body shape, will learn to dress like this more often.  Too many times, she likes to squeeze herself into something too small and too short (never a good combo), which doesn't flatter her at all...but she thinks she looks sexy.  *sigh*  I think otherwise...

I'd say 99% of the time when I go places on the weekends, I don't even want to suit up!  I just want to be comfortable.   :D  When I go shopping, I see many girls dressed up looking nice and wearing mile high heels!  My feet aches just looking at them walk around the mall. :D :D. 

I go shopping in sweats and sneakers or jeans and flats. Many times, when I walk into a store, I know the sales associates judge me base on what I have on.  If I receive rude service or if an associate welcomes the white chick with a warm hello and none for me, I will not buy anything from the store, especially if the associates receive commission off my purchase. 

I can tolerate many things, but I can't tolerate rudeness.  I'm the customer (with the money to spend in your store), you work here for crying outloud!   :idiot2: :idiot2: :2funny:

Usually on the weekend I will dress up if I'm going to a family event or community event. Otherwise I'm in t-shirt, jean or short. I can go shopping in heels and may do so something if I feel like dressing up but for the most part I prefer to go shopping in sandal or wedge. Flat shoes are to flat and hurts my feet.

I go shopping in sweats and sneakers or jeans and flipflops or uggs if it's winter time. Many times, when I walk into a store, I know the sales associates judge me base on what I have on.  If I receive rude service or if an associate welcomes the white chick with a warm hello and none for me, I will not buy anything from the store, especially if the associates receive commission off my purchase.

Amen, sista!   :2funny:   When I go shopping, esp if I know I'll be at a large shopping mall that I won't get to again for a long time, I will wear sneakers because my heels will hurt after a bit of walking, esp if I'm in flip flops or - God forbid - some heels.  My arches need support and I can't afford to have heel pains just to look good walking at the damn mall.  I really don't care if I don't look stylish while at the mall... I need to be comfortable while walking around and browsing, so that I can be efficient in hitting all the stores that I want to go to. 
 
Store associates have dismissed me because I'm not wearing a brand name shoes or carrying a brand name purse.  But like you said, that just means I won't be spending money there.  Heck, when I go on a serious shopping day, I don't like to carry a purse...just my driver's license and a credit card.  That way, I don't have extra baggage and I can go from place to place and not have to worry about where I left my purse.

I like this dress with those sexy red heels!  Very stylish...!  But with the red belt and the red necklace, the pop of color effect is not as strong.  Does that make sense?  Also, because of the red shoes, the red belt and the rednecklace at each planes of your body, the color cuts your body into 3 tiers... I'd say, try it with either just the red shoes or just the red belt to make the color actually POP!
 
PS, I like your floral dress that you wore to the graduation too.  You do floral dresses very well and I'll bet you turned heads that night.

my stepson graduated last week, but hardly anyone dressed up too much...it was in the evening and that day turn dark and cold, freezing shivering cold with massive wind.  There were women with short dresses and/or billowy ones, and each one of them was blue in the face from the cold...but they looked good!

Use something (it can be a comb, hair tie, a flower, pair of shoes, ) as an inspiration and create an look base on the inspiration.

For example, using a comb:
I pick a pink comb.  The comb has pricks, so I can interpret this comb into clothing as follows:   a pink stripe top/botton/dress,then add accessories to complete my outfit. 

For the challenge, show a picture of the object used as inspiration, and then your inspired look.


If possible... do multiple looks for your inspirational piece... such as:
1.  Formal outfit
2.  Semi formal outfit
3.  Casual outfit
4.  Fun outfit
5.  Lazy day outfit
6.  Weekend outfit
7.  Family outting outfit
any other types of outfit that you might need for the events in your life.

trouble, nice casual outfit.  I too love the cap toe pumps.  Saw one at NS last week that I really liked, but it was a tad too high for me.  I'm on the hunt for the perfect leopard and cap toe pumps so please share if you see or find any.

thanks, sukie.  i'll keep you in mind if i should see those types of pumps.  i really liked the rl ones because not only is the cap toe of the pump black, the heel part of it is also.  to me, it balances out the color of the shoe.

Usually on the weekend I will dress up if I'm going to a family event or community event. Otherwise I'm in t-shirt, jean or short. I can go shopping in heels and may do so something if I feel like dressing up but for the most part I prefer to go shopping in sandal or wedge. Flat shoes are to flat and hurts my feet.

95% of the time, i'm dressed up but if i know i that i'll be walking a lot, i'll wear my wedges instead of heels.  like you , i can't wear flats and they eventually become uncomfortable. ....maybe due to the arch of my feet.....

Today I am wearing an outfit that I have already shared with you guys. The only different is that I wearing a different color cardigan.  I'm will a previous outfit that I didn't get a chance to share with you.

Ann Taylor Factory Dress
Belt borrowed from a dress
JS Pump

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v373/shystardreamer/ATpolkadress.jpg)

i love the pop of color here.  thanks for sharing.

Love this look...esp the shoes...
but sorry for my ignorance, what does "rl" mean?  and they look like narrow sizes, usually pointy toe shoes comes mostly in narrow and I wear wide. 

thanks, thajyeeb.  the ralph lauren cap toe pumps are narrow.  i agree with you that most pointy toe shoes are narrow but i have seen some that are wide, you just have to look for them.....

oh yeah I think it'll look striking with the red pumps too.
 
my stepson graduated last week, but hardly anyone dressed up too much...it was in the evening and that day turn dark and cold, freezing shivering cold with massive wind.  There were women with short dresses and/or billowy ones, and each one of them was blue in the face from the cold...but they looked good!

Not even talking about graduation but just award night.  My daughter school held it right after Open House and to see those that know they are getting an award dress up like they are going to the prom with fancy dress, hair all done, etc.  My daughter didn't even want to go at all.

Folks, I have been thinking about my inspiration for this challenge and I believe I have found it... lolz.  And thinking about it, I realize it's going to be multiple looks.  So, I am thinking that your inspiration may lead you to creating multiple looks as well... let's post as many as possible...
 
I will list the different possibility categories on the first post.
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: LadyLionness on June 11, 2012, 10:07:56 AM
I don't think I can do this, I don't find very many things to be of inspiration to be dressed after.

You can choose a nice flora piece or perhaps some of your favorite flora pieces... I love lace... so my inspiration is going to be lace... or it could even be your favorite color... I love kelly green and soft baby pink... so I have a ton of clothes and jackets as well as jewelry in those colors... in casual to very formal dresses...
 
But I have bought a lot of lace recently and so that is what I am going to do it on... I might do one on my favorite color of green as well.
 
If you love stripes, you could also do it with that as well.  I was going to do one on one of hat as the inspiration... but I was not very inspired by it... lolz.  Or even a fourth of july flag inspired look... creating red, white, and blue... I did that last year.  All my outfits for that trip was variation colors of those colors.

I was able to do some shopping over the weekend in LA for tops and no bottoms piece yet.  I have to wait for my new camera to arrived sometime this week to take some picture since my son threw my camera in the toilet a week ago.  I can take some with my daughter's camera but I don't have the manual to adjust it correctly because she has it set so weird and so many files to dig through just to find a photo.

I saw a nice burgundy lace dress at Ross with a belt too.  I was going to get it and even had it in my cart to tried it on but decide not to at the last minute along with another dress I got only because I know I won't be going anywhere at all.  Now looking back I regret it because those 2 dress would have fit me perfectly even if it just sit in my closet.  You guy got me all into doing shopping for clothes, make up, shoe, etc.  when I already know it will sit in my closet barely untouched. 

My son doesn't want to stay any longer down in LA and husband wanted to go pick him up tomorrow/this weekend but I told him its better to do it next weekend.  I told him if I might plan to stay a few more day than expected so probably be better if the kids and I just go down and he can stay behind because of work.

Lace dresses are hard to come by... most are tacky looking... next time u see a nice one, u should buy it.  every woman needs a few dresses in her closet.

Yes it is... I have a few fuzzy photos, but not sure if I should post b/c I will be wearing it on 4th of July in MN...

the first is a rose (full of elegance, romantic, and it reminds me of ruffles when it opens) and the second is the burberry perfume (classy and sophisticated).  i love the colors in each so i decided to literally use those colors as well.   ;D

nice accessories, sukie.  thanks for sharing.

here is the amrita necklace and the macy's bracelet i wore to match it.  i really like the necklace cause it's reversable.   ;D  i believe it's in her hampton line.

i don't have much stripes in my wardrobe other than my pinstripe suits and shirts (mainly for work and those i won't post), but for the two casual tops that i do have at the present moment, here are a few ways that i wear them.....

i have two inspirations for my two outfits....

(http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w3/ms_lin28/challenge.jpg)

the first is a rose (full of elegance, romantic, and it reminds me of ruffles when it opens) and the second is the burberry perfume (classy and sophisticated).  i love the colors in each so i decided to literally use those colors as well.   ;D

I love the green dress!

Great outfits! You're all more creative than I am.  :)  I couldn't really come up with an inspirational item and an outfit to go with it. I was thinking about doing something with a sun but that didn't go well.

Here is a striped summer dress that I have. Now that I look at the pic, I don't think the faux pearl and shoes go well w/ it. What do you think? Maybe dress it down instead with some nice sandals and bangles? Or can it go both ways (dressed up or down)?

Dress is Mudd. Nude pumps are Nickels. Faux pearl bracelets from Target. (I buy cheap stuff).

(http://i.imgur.com/4ApRL.jpg)

I don't really like the pleat or folded part in the front of the dress but I decided to buy it because I like the back. Please ignore my tan lines on my shoulders and back. ;D

Lolz, Sukie, you are too funny.  I still love how a suit looks on me, but I am so bored of it... done that for more than 10 years... I am really into what I am wearing now... causal with just a touch of class... whether done with a slack or a blazer or a button down blouse.
 
For going out, I love wearing dresses and skirts... but nothing too girly... more of what I showed you via PM.

Trouble, you did a nice job putting together different looks for your striped shirts. I like best the outfit in the top row, right pic as well as the dark outfit in the bottom row, middle pic.

HPA, you have a good collection of striped ties and shirts. I like them, and yes, I agree with Sukie about mixing patterns--very nice!

Sukie, sorry about my picture being a little too dark. I really need to get a better camera.

It's been a long time since I posted up any outfits. It's back to being basic since summer is here and its hot as heck!  Finally did a little bit of dressing up, if you even call this "dressing up". Haha.  Basic tshirt with a skirt.  I was going to just wear a no-nonsense flat or even a flip flop, then decided to wear this peachy sandal instead to make it look like I actually put in some effort and because I have yet to wear this shoe to work!  Then after the shoes, I thought, heck, I might as well put on a blazer or a cardigan and a piece of necklace...so this is what I assembled today, going from one piece to another .... :D
But by the afternoon, I'll probably throw off the jacket, necklace and shoes (I have a pair of flip flops at work!) and back to being basic again... :D

Now this sounds like a definite challenge -- I'm not really inspired by anything right now.  Got too many things in my head...
 
LL, your lace skirts from the olden days were the bomb! We didn't wear too much lacy dresses, but a lot of those shirring and ruffles dresses -- in plaid!  :2funny:   And no, I won't repeat them now. LOL
 
Trouble, your inspiration outfits were literally cool.  ;D I think that green/red outfit would be perfect for a company christmas party or something! You could be the "rose that blooms in winter" haha
aww too bad I didn't get to see Sukie's outfit.

thajyeeb,  because I like you and appreciate your inputs; pictures and comments on these threads I've linked again just for you.   :2funny: :2funny:
Thank you thank you thank you! I can't believe you're letting me view the pictures... Why did you deleted it? you look so damn good.  I don't know what I thinking... I guess I thought you bought the rainboots and wore it in your outfit....haha h!
 
Your outfit is fantastic!  Simply modern yet classic (polka dots and stripes), fashion-forward (mixing of two contrasting patterns), and way way chic (styling)! but what's in the first picture? I couldn't make it out...? 
The necklace and the cuff really pulled the outfit together to another level, by making it look sophisticated and fun.  Did you do your hair? Would love to see how you style your hair too, if you did....  The only thing I will quibble about is the shoes... I think this outfit deserves a KILLA pair of shoe... but I'm getting overboard.  I like the fact that you did this from your closet and didn't have to get anything new.  Pretty cool there.  Yes, it's definitely a eye-catching outfit, but I think, in in a good, jealous way (from the women).   ;D

the thing about a written promise is that you can't pretend you never made it! so here is the pic from the other daily fashion thread...as promised..  ;D

on the second viewing of this outfit, I no like the blazer. This outfit looks too pog pog laus, imo. what was I thinking...??  :-X

Post by: LadyLionness on June 26, 2012, 03:10:16 PM
lolz... yeah... a promise is a promise.  I like it.  I agree with you a tiny bit on the jacket... the problem is that it is a tad long and a tiny bit too loose on you...
 
For you and I, we need blazers that are roughly 20 to 22 inches long from bottom of collar to hem of jacket... down the centerline of the jacket.
 
It should be fitted too, to create and accentuate our curves.
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: LadyLionness on June 26, 2012, 03:16:14 PM

Hmm.... maybe...
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: go-go on June 26, 2012, 03:31:53 PM
yes this jacket is a bit long in the sleeves and in the hem length, and not fitted in the waist. It's actually quite baggy in the waist area, unless I button the jacket and I don't like to button it up because, as you can clearly see, it makes me look so stiff! It was a 50% sale that day, and I had 30 mins, so I just tried it on really quick and paid for it and left.  Now, I wished I had not bought it.  I guess I will wear it to funerals and such...

ps: it's perfectly fine to critique my outfit/clothes as you see it... sometimes, you may see something that I didn't see.  I don't mind critiques on my outfits at all.

awww you are so sweet!  :-*
 
the rainboot! Duh, why didn't I think of that?  I was thinking that it looked a lot like the siv ceeb on a Hmong hat, do you know what I mean? But, I shook it out of my head because it made no sense whatsoever!   :2funny:
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: LadyLionness on June 26, 2012, 03:45:43 PM
Lolz... I see fashion as a very personal thing... and to me, it may look a tad to long and baggy, but you may like it that way. 
 
In the beginning of my fashion discovery way... I bought so many ill-fitted jackets... and you don't know that until you have bought a few that fits good... now, now matter how much a love the color, material or style, if it doesn't fit my body right, I won't buy it.  I like a "rich" classic look... so if the clothes I am trying on don't impart that feel, I don't buy it.
 
One thing I notice about you is that you THINK you have junk in the middle so you tend to wear loose clothing that "hides" that.  You are actually quite trim... way skinnier than me... you should wear clothing that are more fitted or body skimming... the trick is the material and cut... and higher end clothing line...
 
The lower clothing line... although the clothes look the same as the higher end on the  hangers... it fits the body totally differently.  Lower end clothing cuts and squeeze the body in the wrong places... while the higher end clothing line skims over the trouble spot and creates a nice trim shape.

LOL!  old lady like! Ha!  :2funny:  That jacket is good to look at, but not good looking on me. Sad but true.  I guess it's the way I was standing -  so plain and fobby - combined with the jacket.  Also.........I take my picture in my office, with a self-timer-- 10 FULL SECONDS of it.  I had to do it quickly before anyone walked by...imagine how awkward that would be?   :2funny:

I bought so many ill-fitted jackets... and you don't know that until you have bought a few that fits good... now, now matter how much a love the color, material or style, if it doesn't fit my body right, I won't buy it.  I like a "rich" classic look... so if the clothes I am trying on don't impart that feel, I don't buy it.
 
One thing I notice about you is that you THINK you have junk in the middle so you tend to wear loose clothing that "hides" that.  You are actually quite trim... way skinnier than me... you should wear clothing that are more fitted or body skimming... the trick is the material and cut... and higher end clothing line...
 
The lower clothing line... although the clothes look the same as the higher end on the  hangers... it fits the body totally differently.  Lower end clothing cuts and squeeze the body in the wrong places... while the higher end clothing line skims over the trouble spot and creates a nice trim shape.

LL, I know what you're saying about fashion being personal.  But sometimes, I think it would good if others with different eyes and tastes point something out to you, something that may have totally went unnoticed for a long time.  At least, that is how I am.  Others may not like it, but I always appreciate people telling me something that needs correcting on my part, whether it's from my sister or from a stranger.  I may not like it at that moment, but I appreciate in the end because it's for the better of me.  Plus, if it was given sincerely and honestly, then I know they were just looking out for me.  I appreciate honesty like that.
 
And, you're very kind to say that I don't have junk in the middle, but yes, I DO have junk in the middle.  A big one too.  I think (looking down at my junk in the middle right now) I'm about 2 months along.   :2funny:   I'm kidding.  I'm kidding.  I'm not preggo, just feel like I am with this extra weight.  And yes, you're right on the money, I've always tend to wear something baggy.  When I do wear something slimming, then I'm amazed at how slim I am, but then, I am very self-aware of myself too.  So, I always revert back to my normal way of dressing.  It's a stupid cycle that I've always battle with all my life.

Lolz, Thayjeeb, I will keep that in mind.  My problem is that I am not very diplomatic... so I try to be careful... lolz!  I can come off as being abrasive if I am in too much of a hurry...

O0 ... I thought I recognized those jeans LoL  I have a similar pair of AE.

 they are so comfy, don't you agree?  hehehe....  ;)

It's been a long time since I posted up any outfits. It's back to being basic since summer is here and its hot as heck!  Finally did a little bit of dressing up, if you even call this "dressing up". Haha.  Basic tshirt with a skirt.  I was going to just wear a no-nonsense flat or even a flip flop, then decided to wear this peachy sandal instead to make it look like I actually put in some effort and because I have yet to wear this shoe to work!  Then after the shoes, I thought, heck, I might as well put on a blazer or a cardigan and a piece of necklace...so this is what I assembled today, going from one piece to another .... :D
But by the afternoon, I'll probably throw off the jacket, necklace and shoes (I have a pair of flip flops at work!) and back to being basic again... :D
 
Mossimo skirt
Old Navy black tshirt
NY&Co blazer & necklace
Etienne Aigner sandals
 

the way you describe it, this outfit is perfect for "from work to home."   you won't even need to change at all.  O0

You looks greats with cropped pant.

thanks.  those are really nice during these hot summer days.   ;D

It's has been awhile. Here is my outfit from the weekend. This is my second attempt at wearing a maxi skirt.

the pink and green looks really nice together.  i haven't tried maxi skirts yet and doubt i will since i don't think they look very good on me....   :(

@trouble, both outfits are nice, and look very comfy.

thanks, sukie.

RW, I like your attempt at the maxi skirt! I love the freedom of a maxi, but I always look so pregnant in them.... *sigh*  I have 1 or 2 skirt/dresses, I will try to remember to take a pic when wear them next time.

Thaiyeeb I think you're being too hard on yourself. You just have to find the right one.

RW--I love the color combo and the simplicity of your outfit.  You have a great body and can definitely pull off the maxi look.  I think though, that if you paired the maxi with a tank and tucked it in, it would show off your waistline and elongate your lower half.   O0

Today, I am wearing something I don't normally wear... a pencil skirt... and a leather one at that... don't even remember the last time I wore a leather pencil skirt.
 
1.  Arden B. black leather pencil skirt
2.  Company Logo blue button down shirt by Lands End
3.  Sofft black studded cage sandals
4.  Multi-color 8 FT long pearl necklace
5.  Old antinque looking flower silver ring on my right pinky
 
Will see if I feel like taking a pix later.

Great July 4th outfits, LadyLionness and yubnag! They are great for the occasion and very comfortable looking. For both of you, I like the look of the blazer or sweater over the tshirts. That would be perfect for night time and watching the fireworks outdoors (helps keep mosquitoes from biting your arms, that's for sure!).

I love your outfit! I like how you wore the H&M Peplum dress as a top. Very creative. It's always great to figure out different ways to wear a piece of clothing.

 O0

Thanks Elise. Reading fashion has really inspired me to find way to make the most of my outfits.

nice!  i've thought of wearing dresses as a top but i'm afraid it might get too hot or uncomfortable if i have to wear it for 9-10 hours.  was it like that for you?  i've worn it as skirts before and it's not too bad....

Trouble - You should try wearing a dress a top.  Hmmm it's never bother me that I'm wearing a dress as a top. The important thing is the material of the dress. You wanted to wear a dress where the material is not to thick and where the material will stay still under the skirt.  Does that make sense?

Trouble, nice combination of red, white, and blue. The 3rd outfit is my favorite.

I like the white pants and have always wanted to buy one, but they make me nervous that I'm going to dirty them. I'm kind of clumsy with food. ;D

Just what I wore on July 4th. White and blue American Eagle shirt, red F21 shorts, blacks sandals. I was not at home and didn't bring any accessories. That is just a black hair tie around my wrist for when it got too hot during the fireworks, so I could tie up my hair. ;D

Hey ladies...y'all still looking good and fashionable, I see!  I'm going through all the posts from last week and just catching up. 
 
I've been dressing up more than I've ever had in the summer months, but just don't have time to take any pictures.  And I guess not in the mood to mess with the pics anymore.  Today, I'm wearing a new crop pants from NY&co. I love it... it's fabric blend of cotton, polyester and spandex, just enough to give it a little stretch.  It's sooo comfortable, and feels very relaxed, but still very dressy.

anyway, on that note, I've been browsing through the usual shops (express, jcrew, ny&co, etc) and I am kinda not feeling the latest trends.  Maybe I'm not in the mood to shop so nothing is speaking to me! I went from stores to stores and I ended up buying this one crop pants.  Boring.  My daughter has since given up on me... went into express and they have these glittery tank tops and dresses and she was so excited because she was sure I would actually buy something.  But, nope, I said I didn't like anything and we left...she doesn't want to go shopping with me anymore.  Poor kid!  :2funny:

Wish I have your strength, Thajyeeb.... I always seem to find something I like.  I am loving the hi-lo tops I see at the stores now... only some will fit right though, so I am carefully selecting them. 
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: go-go on July 18, 2012, 06:16:27 PM
Lol my strength at resisting the urge to buy?  ;D  yeah... it's foreign to me too.   It's weird, I really want to spend, but when I get to the stores, I don't want to spend and it gets depressing when nothing is speaking to me!

I'm not liking the hi-lo tops at all... they always make me look short and cut in half for some reason. must be my perception of myself...
 
I wanted to like some tunics that I saw, but they're all ugly!!!  *sigh*  I'll wait another few weeks, maybe this feeling will go away and can shop til I drop again!

From Closet Edit to Closet Review  Editing (http://youlookfab.com/2012/08/06/the-six-piles-of-closet-editing/) is only one aspect of the closet review process. It is a very big aspect, which is why we spend so much time talking about it, but in addition to editing things out, you need to think about adding things in. So once the edit is complete, your attention should turn to the following question:
 <blockquote>What should you add to your wardrobe so that it reflects your current style preferences, lifestyle, environment and climate in the form of great fitting, comfortable and flattering items?
 </blockquote>You will be thinking about how to put together your looks for the next few months, the next season, or perhaps even the next couple of years, and building a shopping list for what you need to acquire.
 
Of course, you were probably already doing this while you were editing your closet because it is natural to think about the adds as you deal with the edits. You probably also created a list of missing wardrobe items along the way. Great idea! But its alwaysbest to also do a thorough review once your wardrobe is edited and organized.
 
Without this final review, you run the risk of putting the wrong things on your shopping list, buying up all this stuff, but still feeling like you have nothing to wear. On the other hand, if you have the discipline to take this final step youll get a better idea of how your wardrobe items relate to each other, which in turn will help you to make more informed decisions about what to put on that shopping list.
 
You can think about the final step of a closet review in terms of the following questions:
 When I review closets with my clients, we answer these questions as we haul out the items and spread them onto the bed. That helps us think of items in the outfit and capsule groupings. Visuals are important! I also encourage clients to try on suggested outfit combinations to make sure that they like the pairings. There is no use thinking up a combination in your head just to satisfy the need of creating an extra outfit when it doesnt work in real life. Get cracking and try on those outfit combinations.
 
We end up spending a chunk of time creating outfits with existing items, as well as thinking about how we can create that next level of fabness by adding the right new items into the mix. As we go I capture the shopping list on a piece of paper, but you might want to use your laptop or iPad.
 
Remember that your shopping list is not cast in stone. You can change your mind as you see fit. But it does help you to focus on your needs when you shop. For example, as much as you love to shop for tops, you might have that covered. And what you really need is to flesh out your assortment of bottoms. If this is reflected on your list, and you make a point of using your list, there will be less dilly-dallying about, looking at tops. You will naturally focus on looking for the right bottoms.
 
This process might sound overwhelming and I wish I had a shortcut solution, but theres no free lunch. If you want to create a fully functional wardrobe in a cost effective manner, closet review discipline pays off. The good news is that the more regularly you review, the faster and easier the process becomes. As practice hones your closet review skills, you will reach a point where editing and adding to your wardrobe becomes much less a process and much more intuitive. When that happens, fashion becomes more fun than ever.

I suggest creating six piles of items when you edit your closet. Ive mentioned them when writing about closet editing challenges in the past (http://youlookfab.com/2011/04/25/closet-editing-challenges/), but in this post Id like to go into a little more detail.
 
Here they are:
 
Youll greatly reduce the closet editing process by making it a more frequent event. And if you do a fast edit every few months like I do, youll create fewer and much smaller piles.
 
How often do you edit your closet? Are you challenged along the way? Please post your closet editing questions in the comments section and well get you sorted. If you are a seasoned closet editor, do chime in and share your own tips.

Closet Editing Challenges  Closet editing should be a straight forward exercise and Ive written several posts (http://youlookfab.com/2008/01/04/your-closet-inspiration-or-irritation/) on how to attack the process (http://youlookfab.com/2009/01/06/clean-your-way-to-an-inspirational-closet/). If youre not in the habit of editing regularly (http://youlookfab.com/2010/01/05/five-more-reasons-why-wardobe-editing-is-fab/), set aside about 5 hours to create six piles. Here is a summary of the pile sorting strategy, which involves lots of re-trying of clothes, footwear and accessories:
 Unless the item is for Pile 5, get rid of stuff thats soiled, ill-fitting, unflattering against your complexion, uncomfortable, doesnt make you feel fab, or just not part of the current leg of your style journey. Seems simple, right?
 
For some people this process is dead easy, because they have a clear sense of their style preferences and what looks best. They also understand how items should fit, and dont have trouble letting go of things that have seen better days, or never worked in the first place.
 
For others, closet editing is an overwhelming, time consuming and lonely process filled with doubt, guilt and the battle to pass on items that dont work. It can even lead to negative body image, spinning people into a downward spiral because clothing doesnt fit the way it used to.
 
There are many potential sources of frustration. Perhaps youre not sure how items should fit or you cant tell when they are dated (http://youlookfab.com/2010/10/28/how-to-decide-whether-an-item-is-dated/). What if you cant tell when a colour looks fab or drab? What if, heaven forbid, you get rid of things that have stylish potential? What if everything just ends up in the holding zone and you are back to square one? How are you going to get through the editing process without feeling like giving up all together? How are you going to find the time to do it?
 
These frustrating feelings are completely understandable and its one of the reasons I have a job. But hiring a fashion stylist or wardrobe professional is not essential. You can edit your own closet even if its sometimes hard to make the right decisions. Here are some ideas to ease the process:
 
Practice makes perfect. The more you closet edit, the easier and simpler this process becomes. I promise!
 
Spring often motivates us to clean-up and get organized. Have you recently edited your closet? What types of closet editing challenges do you face, if any, and how have you overcome them? Do you enjoy closet editing?

Has anyone ever regretted doing a major closet sweep?
 
I just did an "out with the old, in the with new year" sweep and my criteria was:

1) I had to love it
2) It had to fit what I see as "my" style (which has developed since YLF this fall)
3) I had worn it at least once this season
 
My closet is half empty, and I'm a little panicked. BUT, what I have hanging there is great, and I wear it all the time.
 
In a way, I feel great, but do you think I've gone too far? For example, there are things that I bought last year that cost good money that I am shedding (an Oilily skirt that is mid-calf that is just not me anymore, for example).

Clean your way to an inspirational closet  I encourage regular closet sweeps (http://youlookfab.com/2008/01/04/your-closet-inspiration-or-irritation/) and there is no better time to do it than early in the new year. I notice on the forum that some people got stuck in (http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-sweep-can-you-go-overboard?replies=15) before my annual reminder. Brilliant.
 
Your goal is to have a small, fully-functional and efficient wardrobe. Trust me ladies, this is how you alleviate what to wear stress and save money. Here are the guidelines:
 
Once you have a fully-functioning wardrobe, adopt the one-in, one-out principle. This forces you to keep things under control. Thereafter, the skill lies in updating your wardrobe with the right items and in the right quantities to keep your look current, appropriate and fabulous. Bring on the closet sweep!

Your closet: inspiration or irritation? I believe in a small, fully-functional and efficient wardrobe. Those of you who have seen my closet will back me up when I say that I share a small walk-in wardrobe with my husband and I keep all my seasons, footwear and accessories together in one place. I keep my coats in a closet downstairs and my underwear, socks and workout wear in a chest of drawers that I share with hubby.
 
Thats it. Everything that I need to put together an outfit is in sight and on hand and this is key. I get to shop in my own closet (http://youlookfab.com/2006/07/24/shopping-in-your-own-closet/) everyday which keeps me calm and makes my toes tingle. It takes a bit of energy keeping your closet organized but once youre in the routine, its easy as pie and worth the effort. I swear that I save time and money by knowing exactly what I have and being able to retrieve it instantly.
 
Creating a happy, practical and comfortable personal dressing environment is achievable, even if your closet is relatively small. Its a question of savvy editing and clever storage. Take the time to clean out your closet (http://youlookfab.com/2006/08/01/closet-cleanup/) over the next few weeks and make 4 piles (a pile to donate, to alter, to store and to keep). Once youve done that, get organized and introduce a closet system (http://youlookfab.com/2006/08/16/closet-organization-part-2/) that works for you.
 
I edit my closet 4 times a year and use a one-in, one-out principle which keeps it tight and manageable. The skill lies in updating a wardrobe with the right items to keep your look current, timeless and fab, and in the correct amounts to keep your wardrobe balanced.
 
These skills can be learned and applied. It also helps to have the right storage and these IKEA wardrobe systems (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/rooms/bedroom/10449/) are affordable and may serve as some inspiration.

Wardrobe essentials  Ive written several blog entries suggesting the minimum number of items you need in different categories in order to have an efficient wardrobe that covers all the bases. Of course, these suggestions are just a starting point. You may find that your wardrobe functions better with more items in one of these categories. Look at the details in the individual blog entries and adapt the suggestions to your specific situation.
 
You will also need tops, camisoles, jackets, knitwear, more bottoms and accessories to put together stylish ensembles on a  daily basis. It is difficult to specify quantities for these additional items because they depend on lifestyle, dress codes, body types, personal preferences, your local climate (http://youlookfab.com/2006/12/27/shop-for-your-dominant-season/) and travel requirements. If you are building a wardrobe of the bare essentials, however, the list above is a good place to start.

Your wardrobe favourites  I love everything in my wardrobe, but do have favourites. These are the items that make me feel extra special when I put them on. Some of these items are worn daily, whereas others are worn weekly, monthly or a few times a year. They are extremely versatile and Id really miss them if they were gone.
 
I hold a special place in my heart for tunics, jackets and handbags, but they didnt quite make the cut. Id love to hear your wardrobe favourites. As with the preferred shopping categories (http://youlookfab.com/2008/03/07/preferred-shopping-categories/), I expect to see a lot of variation in your lists.
 
 
______________ ______________ _______
 Preferred shopping categories  Its interesting that different product categories tickle our fancy to different degrees when we shop. Some of us love to shop for shoes and bags, while others prefer to shop for skirts and dresses. After being in the fashion game for ages, I have concluded that this is a very personal thing, greatly influenced by individual and regional differences.
 
Heres my personal list, ordered from best to worst:
 I feel the cold quickly, so it is a good thing that jackets and coats are high on my list. On the other hand, a fashion stylist who doesnt like to shop for shoes is not the norm. I love looking at shoes and dressing my clients in them, but its become increasingly frustrating shopping for my own shoes. Fussy feet and fabulous shoes do not go hand in hand.
Id love to hear your list. I suspect that it will be quite different.

Your wardrobe orphans   I like and wear everything in my wardrobe because it fits and flatters in the very best way (its imperative that I practice what I preach!). But there are items that I seldom wear, simply because I like them less than other items. They dont look bad, they just rank last on my list of favourites (http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/18/your-wardrobe-favourites/#comments).

Wardrobe golden oldies   Fashion evolves. Our bodies and lifestyles change constantly, and with them the contents of our wardrobe. Updating, replacing and duplicating clothing, footwear and accessories is a way of life. But alongside the items in our wardrobe that will only last for one season, there are others that have lasted a lot longer. Today we pay tribute to these wardrobe golden oldies.
 
These are the rules:
 
Ill go first:
 
Now its your turn. What are some of the oldest items in your closet that are still in stylish circulation?

Fabulous unworn items: keep or toss?   Here is something Ive read in fashion magazines, heard on television and seen mentioned in the forum:  if you havent worn an item of clothing for over a year, pass it on.
 
I encourage closet editing, but I dont agree with the strict application of this rule. If an item is dated, uncomfortable, ill-fitting or unflattering by all means pass it on (http://youlookfab.com/2007/02/20/give-your-clothes-a-second-life/). But what happens to the items that are perfect, but are not in current circulation. Do they need to go? I dont think so.
 
I suggest keeping items that are still in vogue, fit well, look good and that you enjoyed wearing before your preferences changed. Here are a few examples from my wardrobe:
 It is important to be selective though. Dont use this rationale to hoard questionable items (http://youlookfab.com/2006/08/01/closet-cleanup/). If in doubt, pass it on.
 
Whats your keep or toss rule?

Closet Cleanup   Its easy to get caught up in the illusion that with a full closet, we have a wardrobe that is brimming with possibilities. However, most closets are stuffed with items that you dont need, shouldnt be wearing, or dont even get around to wearing. The objective is to create a wardrobe that is fluid and consists of pieces that are easy to combine. This does not just refer to clothing, but to shoes and accessories as well.
 
The first step to creating a wardrobe that works for you is to prune what you already have. Youll need to re-evaluate your existing wardrobe one piece at a time. Be ruthless when you prune, because ultimately every stitch in your wardrobe should be flattering to your body and suit your lifestyle.
 
Ask yourself the following questions as you tackle each item:
 
Ideally, your wardrobe should consist of only the cherries. If you dont love everything in your closet, re-evaluate it before you contemplate any more purchases. Pruning should happen at least twice a year. After years of doing this, I still regard cleaning out my closet to be an act of liberation!

This seasons it skirt: the pencil   Pencil skirts are typically part of a business formal clothing capsule. Thats where weve seen the bulk of the pencil skirt trend over the last few decades, but not this season. Playful pencil skirts are popping up all over the show in an abundance of fabrications (and their style detailing is wicked). For those of you who like to sport the naughty secretary or librarian look, your fashion fantasy just came true.
 
The pencil skirt has been making its comeback for a while. Its resurgence goes hand-in-hand with the rebirth of 80s tapered jeans. Both profiles are about looking sleek, sleek, sleek.
 
Pear shaped body types should be careful with pencil skirts (http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pears-in-pencils), because A-line silhouettes are generally more flattering. But if youre a pretty pear and you want to wear a pencil skirt, I say give it a bash. Ive had success with pear shaped gals in pencils if the silhouette falls straight from the hip down (no tapering). This type of pencil style offers the look of a pencil with the advantages of an A-line. Its a win.
 
The opposite holds true if youre after a little more curve on the hip and thigh area. Opt for a silhouette that tapers in from the hip and follows the contour of your legs. Also a win.
 
A lass in a slick top and curve-hugging pencil skirt is as feminine and alluring as it gets. I like to pair my pencil skirts with a tucked-in button-down (http://youlookfab.com/2008/09/09/in-support-of-the-beleaguered-button-down/), form fitting polo-neck, or blousy top, a biker jacket (http://youlookfab.com/2008/09/04/biker-jacket-101/) or denim jacket, and knee high boots, fancy flats or chunky pumps. YLF forum members are having a ball sporting their pencil skirts this season. Feast your eyes on Sarah (http://letitrainagain.blogspot.com/2008/08/august-17-23.html), Kyle (http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn99/KKDD_2008/greypencil2.jpg), Eva (http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/E-RPics/IMG_0187.jpg), Nicole (http://s289.photobucket.com/albums/ll230/Nichripar/?action=view&current=overdue006.jpg), Patience (http://s282.photobucket.com/albums/kk269/platoscat/spring08/aug08/?action=view&current=IMG_0665.jpg), Tanya (http://s300.photobucket.com/albums/nn19/dancing_starr/Week_of_July7/?action=view&current=DSCN3070.jpg) and Ana (http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/July%20Outfits/S6300674-1.jpg). Each a different body type sporting a different style. They look fab!
 
(http://youlookfab.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/satin-top-and-pencil-skirt-2.jpg) (http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3005006/0~2376776~2374327~6013751~6013752?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6013752&P=1)(http://youlookfab.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/double-serge-pencil-skirt.jpg) (http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/skirts/pencil/PRDOVR~96477/96477.jsp)(http://youlookfab.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/stretch-vintage-cord-skirt.jpg) (http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/skirts/pencil/PRDOVR~96175/96175.jsp)
For some reason there arent many pencil skirt options available online, but there are fantastic styles at stores like Anne Taylor, Express, Macys, Club Monaco, Benetton, Anthropologie and Nordstrom. Remember that denim (http://youlookfab.com/2008/08/20/adaptable-denim-skirts/) and corduroy (http://youlookfab.com/2008/09/11/the-corduroy-debate/) pencil skirts are superb casual alternatives if you feel that tweed and smarter fabrications are too fussy for your lifestyle.

Closet Organization: Part 1   Having done your closet cleanup (http://youlookfab.com/2006/08/01/closet-cleanup/), it is now time for some re-organization. You should have been left with 4 piles of clothes:
 
The first step to creating a happy, efficient and comfortable personal dressing environment is to arrange the appropriate storage space and invest in the correct storage aids. Most of us are not blessed with lavish walk in wardrobes and have to make do with the cupboards we have. Not to worry there are storage solutions for everything! The most important aspect to create in your closet is visibility you cannot shop in your closet (http://youlookfab.com/2006/07/24/shopping-in-your-own-closet/) if you cannot see and access things easily. This goes for underwear, socks, shoes, belts, hats, scarves, gloves and handbags as well.
 
 
Before we can slot our wardrobe into a system, well need the right tools:
 The above items are inexpensive to buy and can make the world of difference to your daily dressing ritual. Once you have the correct supplies, youll be able to follow a simple system. Stay tuned for how an efficient clothing system can positively influence the way you dress!

Closet Organization: Part 2   Hopefully youve managed to do a thorough closet cleanup (http://youlookfab.com/2006/08/01/closet-cleanup/) and gotten as far as the first part of closet organization (http://youlookfab.com/2006/08/08/closet-organization-part-1/). All that remains is to give your closet a system. Regardless of the space you have available, the guidelines below should help you get organized:
 
 
You will still be able to use the above closet system if you share a wardrobe with someone else. For the ultra regimented, consider sorting your clothes not only by category, but by colour it not only makes your closet look even more inviting but it makes it even simpler when putting together your look for the day.

Shopping in your own closet   Cleaning out your closet, getting organized and practical about whats inside of it is worth every minute of the effort. The end result makes my toes tingle with delight. Seeing neat and tidy piles of clothes can sometimes make a hectic morning seem more calm.  It sounds absurd, but perfectly displayed clothing, shoes and accessories seems to have a positive impact on the way you dress. Without fail, ordered shelves and rails seem to start off my day with clarity.
 
Messy closets are problematic because you cant find what you are looking for in them. It therefore:
 The easier it is to see the entire contents of your wardrobe, the easier it is to choose an outfit. Sorting out the clothes and accessories in your closet has to be done with forethought and planning. Its not just a question of hanging up things that are on the floor. The aim is to be able to shop in your own closet. Stay tuned on how to create a happy, efficient and comfortable personal dressing environment rather like your favourite store.

Dress for the body that youre in today   We have babies, gain or lose weight and get older. All of these things cause our body to change. When our body changes, we either need new clothes or we need to alter the clothes that we have.
 
What do you do about your new clothing requirement when your body transforms? Do you hold off shopping while you loose the 30 pounds your dietician recommended? Do you wait 6-12 months to get your body back after pregnancy? The answer to these questions is no.
 
Dress for the body that youre in today.
 
Shopping for clothing and accessories is one of those rare opportunities in life where a quick fix can have long term effects. The gratification is instant, and the positive reinforcement will help you to avoid internalizing bad feelings about your body.
 
Its never a good idea to wait for what may, or may not change about your body in the future. You are perfect right now go shopping!

I really enjoy reading this lady's blog... and her styling... wish I have time to do a blog for Hmong Women.... lolz... we have different rules, etc...
 (http://fashion.onblog.at/bilder/200908-modestrecken/flache-ankle-boots.jpg)
According styling experts, flowing dresses, big bags, flat shoes and especially boots are absolutely taboo for small women. Yes, yes all those good things let little girls look even smaller (http://fashion.onblog.at/en/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif) . But
I like flowing clothes. They will let beating my hippie heart faster and give me the feeling of freedom. Why should I abstain from them (losing only a few inches)?
I love and need large pockets! Alone, my wallet is bigger than any clutch-bag and I get a few things, without whom I can not leave the house. So wherelse will a small woman like me with her keys, 2 phones, Mp3 player, Filofax (yes, yes Im old-fashioned), notebook, deodorant, perfume, hand lotion, hair brush, hair bands, chocolate bars, candy and chewing gum carry this stuff? ?
 

although I love high heels, but every now and then I just like to wear flat shoes! And besides ballerinas I prefer flat boots. That they are shortening the silhouette visually, I must not say at this point, right? The world is not fair!

(http://fashion.onblog.at/bilder/200908-modestrecken/flache-ankle-boots-2.jpg)
I would still like to go without anything. Sure, as often as possible I try to combine low-heeled shoes with short dresses and skirts, because they stretch the legs, but if I like to wear tubes and ballerinas, I will take them too. Ok, maybe I will look like a dwarf, but then like a happy dwarf! Because I wear what I want and I therefore feel well. And thats the main thing.

My dress (or Longtop) is from adessa, belt from HIS, jacket: outlet, bag: Volkshilfe shop, boots from Belgium (I got them in orange as well;-) ). By the way, for the shoes I paid  only EUR 6. .

Maybe we are related?  Lolz... I get that a lot on PH here.. I think you are the third or fourth person who have said that... I have actually saw one that looks exactly like me... I only saw her from the side... when they pointed her out to me, I wanted to go and talk to her, but I was a teenager back then and scared... so I didn't...  :'(   I could have found my twin... even if from a different mother...

Without the jacket, it does look childish... but I like it with the jacket...

SB, we aren't really supposed to... lolz... but we work in the front office so it's ok.  I keep a pair of steel toes shoes in my cubicle incase I need to run into the shop or climb on a locomotive.
 
And apostophe is hit or miss for me too... but the ones that works, they are some of my favorite pieces... SB, your frame is too small... that's probably why they look too pog laus on you...

Layering Procedure For Winter    Every winter I am faced with the choice stay warm or stay stylish. I mean layers of bulky sweaters, scarves, and long johns don't add up to chic and sleek right? Well I have been working on layering the last couple of winter seasons and I think I finally have it figured out. Five lightweight layers (no bulk)that add up to a warm and toasty outfit.

Here's the layering procedure:

 
 
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-McQyogn-XlU/Tx8rup6_fDI/AAAAAAAABY0/KvPeqFG-ZEw/s640/Layer+1.jpg) (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-McQyogn-XlU/Tx8rup6_fDI/AAAAAAAABY0/KvPeqFG-ZEw/s1600/Layer+1.jpg)[/t]
Layer 1 and cheerleader pose. Am I harboring pent up desires to be a member of the pep squad? Nah! Just happy to be wearing two tanks to add warmth especially when one is a HEATTECH tank (http://www.uniqlo.com/us/CPaGoods/itemcode=069574) from UNIQLO.
 
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h6xXl6L6EJE/Tx8rvWgnbCI/AAAAAAAABY8/vyUaGhFDKdE/s640/Layer+2-1.jpg) (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h6xXl6L6EJE/Tx8rvWgnbCI/AAAAAAAABY8/vyUaGhFDKdE/s1600/Layer+2-1.jpg)[/t]
Steal this sweater from your dad, your brother, boyfriend or buy your own.  The only rules are to look for lightweight wool and to buy it slightly large.
 
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oLgjkEW80qI/Tx8rwHmDPUI/AAAAAAAABZE/fJfU_i7pRok/s640/Layer+3.jpg) (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oLgjkEW80qI/Tx8rwHmDPUI/AAAAAAAABZE/fJfU_i7pRok/s1600/Layer+3.jpg)[/t]
The first two layers are a little utilitarian, let layer 3 put the pretty and feminine back into the outfit.
 
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DZErmAQsy6Q/Tx8rwz1R1YI/AAAAAAAABZM/tdcjMtMzse0/s640/Layer+4.jpg) (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DZErmAQsy6Q/Tx8rwz1R1YI/AAAAAAAABZM/tdcjMtMzse0/s1600/Layer+4.jpg)[/t]
Buh-Bye neck see you in the spring!  I have been know to wear scarves around the house to keep cozy.  While scarves add bulk at least it's not at the mid-section or hip area of the outfit.
 
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0LDMRO4q6yQ/Tx8rxj0FuvI/AAAAAAAABZU/fzgxEYCXClo/s640/Layer+5.jpg) (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0LDMRO4q6yQ/Tx8rxj0FuvI/AAAAAAAABZU/fzgxEYCXClo/s1600/Layer+5.jpg)[/t]
It's blazer time (and cue cheesy smile)! You can also don a lightweight jacket or leather cropped jacket, it's your choice really! Just throw on a heavy winter coat when you are ready for the outdoors.
Items in Order of Appearence:
Tanks: Old Navy and UNIQLO
Pants: Mavi 'Alexa' Jeans
Boots: FRYE 'Carmen'
Cardigan: Ann Taylor
Kimono Jacket: Love on a Hanger
Scarf: Echo
Blazer: Ann Taylor

Sweet Tears,
 
I have been thinking about what you were saying about it being cold... I am wondering if multiple layers like this is enough to keep me warm... what do you think?
 
Would this be enough to keep me warm?  Or do I really need to bring a winter coat?

Here is another one...
 How to Layer with StyleNovember 15, 2011  By Sarah (http://crossroadstrading.com/author/sarah/) 6 Comments (http://crossroadstrading.com/how-to-layer-with-style/#comments) From c-c-c-cold to just frigid, the time of flouncy light t-shirts and cardigans has  come to an endperhaps. We dont all have an array of fanciful, think winter coats to choose from every morning, and while thats a pity, there are plenty of ways to use pieces that are already in your closet to bundle up in style. Until spring, your best friends are coats, boots, scarves, and gloves, but the supporting actors are button ups, loose sweaters, thigh high socks, tights, turtlenecks, cardigans, belts, and vests. You know what else is  awesome about layering? With so many combinations possible, you may convince everyone that your wardrobe is a lot bigger than it actually is. Clever you!
Warning: Once you experience the joy of layering, you may never go back. You may become like me and layer all over the place, all the time, just because you love the way it looks. Remember to keep the base layers fitted and close to the body or you run the risk of going from cleverly dressed to frumpy. Please do try this at home!
(http://crossroadstrading.com/wp-content/uploads/how-to-layer-with-style-1.jpg) (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=39507193)1. Try a button up under a sweater. Maximize that sweaters warmth! Put a loose sweater over a button up for a stylish layering effect. Seal the deal with a statement necklace around the collar and an overcoat on top. No one will ever know you were just trying to be practical.(http://crossroadstrading.com/wp-content/uploads/how-to-layer-with-style-2.jpg) (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=39507170)
2. Belt your cardigan. You might wear this cardigan in the summer with just a loose tank underneath, but for this time of year, put a thermal tank top underneath and belt it closed. Then, I would personally layer a flannel shirt on top of it for a slightly grunge look, but you could also put this button up under the cardigan. Finish off with a clean trench and a scarf in a nice color.
(http://crossroadstrading.com/wp-content/uploads/How-to-layer-with-style-3.jpg) (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=39507220)
3. A form fitting turtleneck will take that summer maxi into the winter. Maxi dresses are easily winterized with a form fitting turtleneck underneath. Putting a posh jacket over it adds just the right amount of glam to this layer-happy outfit. A statement necklace and leather clutch dont hurt it either!
4. Hide a pair of leggings, tights or socks underneath for extra warmth. A pretty maxi gives you leg coverage that you need in these colder months, but your legs may still be tingling with all of that cold air! Toss on a pair of knit tights or leggings to ensure you feel as glamorous as you look.(http://crossroadstrading.com/wp-content/uploads/How-to-layer-with-style-5.jpg) (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=39507147)5. Layer your knee high or thigh high socks over your tights. Socks over tights? For the win!  Your tights and socks can combine forces to keep you cozy and cute as you brave the winter air in a skirt. Scrunch the socks downwards for a bit of I-did-this-because-it-looks-cool texture. Cold? Me? Never.
6. Try a fitted cardigan under a blazer. An easy favorite of mine, give your usual blazer a boost by putting a fitted cardigan underneath, and then cuff its sleeves over the blazers sleeves. This looks particularly neat-o when the cardigan is another color or has an interesting pattern. Button the cardigan up minus the first and last buttons to expose that cute top a little, or leave it completely open.  (http://crossroadstrading.com/wp-content/uploads/How-to-layer-with-style-6.jpg) (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=39507126)7. Double up! Put an oversized vest over a slim jacket. Call me crazy but I can dig a faux fur vest over a leather jacket. The key here is to make sure the base jacket is a slim fit, while the outer layer is a bit loose. Youll be as toasty as you are rock n roll.

Post by: LadyLionness on September 04, 2012, 01:58:49 PM
which is why I am wondering is if the layers would be enough to keep me warm without adding a bulky winter coat... or if I should just stick to normal layers and a winter coat...

1. .BEANIE KNIT HATS.
There is nothing worse than facing the cold with wet hair. But, its 8 AM. Youre hair is so dirty its almost clean again. Enter stage left: the beanie. Cozy and adorable, this cold weather accessory has concealed some of my laziest beauty days.
(http://lavieboston.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/winter-beanie-hats-sienna-miller-michelle-williams-kate-hudson-nicole-richie.jpg?w=640) (http://lavieboston.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/winter-beanie-hats-sienna-miller-michelle-williams-kate-hudson-nicole-richie.jpg)
2. .STURDY BOOTS.
But now its 8:30. An obligatory coffee detour has cut your schedule a little too close for comfort. Not the time for some stylish booties or blister-inducing flats. Give me a no-frills pair of Fryes  (or its Target lookalikes) and I promise I will haul my caffeinated self to my destination on time.

3. .PRINTED SCARVES.
Ever step out the door in late winter only realize that your life-stifling boredom has turned your wardrobe black? Monochrome has its time and place and the bleak winter landscape is not it. Energize your outfit and maybe even your mood with some pops of texture or color. The printed scarf is the easiest fix. The draping options are innumerable and the effect is immediate. Plus, cold necks are the worst.

4. .TOGGLE COATS.
One good coat is just simply not enough. Every day you can pick out the worlds most adorable winter outfit, but what do you inevitably have to conceal it with? Your outerwear. I have me a puffer, a belted swing coat, a trench-all perfect to have in stock. But, only with the addition of a toggle jacket will I finally be content with my coat rotation. While Ill keep scanning the local thrift racks, let the ladies below convince you to do the same.

5. .LAYERING.
This one goes without saying. The more items, the less freezing-ness. And if anything spells out bohemian winter, its carelessly haphazard layering.

6. .FAIR ISLE SWEATERS.
The Scandinavian sweater is a warm, cabin-fever trend that keeps catching my eye. Its another piece Im planning to obtain by means of my trusty local Goodwill. Though I admit Diane does it the best, also note the fearlessness that is Rihannasinglehandedly killing two trends with one stone (fair isle and poncho). Brave woman.

And we all know that means a lot of time on campus.
Overall, I love my campus. What I dont like is the ever varying temperatures. Not only from building to building, but from room to room within these buildings.
This is fine if youre only on campus for an hour or two for that one class tuesday mornings. Unfortunately, that situation isnt the norm. The norm is being on campus, or at least not in your apartment or dorm room, for hours at a time. Im talking eight to ten hours.
Throw in the very different outside temperature and ever-changing weather and wellyou end up either too hot or too cold and, if you live in Halifax, soggy.
Therein lies the conundrum. How does a fashion savvy lady stay comfortable in constantly fluctuating temperatures and weather?
Never fear, I am here to share my wisdom! A lifetime on the east coast has taught this editor how to deal with, lets call it, inconsistent weather.
This post will focus on temperature, the next with the elements.(http://dayumn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Screen-shot-2011-12-02-at-1.11.10-AM-300x262.png) (http://dayumn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Screen-shot-2011-12-02-at-1.11.10-AM.png)
1. Double up!2. Leather gloves!3. Big thick scarves!4. Good, weather-proof boots with thick socks!I know what youre thinking here. What about that one class that is far too hot? Wont I die of heat stroke with thick socks and tights under my jeans? No! Because of:
5. Layering tops! Seriously guys, its the best thing since sliced bread(http://dayumn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Screen-shot-2011-12-02-at-1.26.30-AM-300x273.png) (http://dayumn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Screen-shot-2011-12-02-at-1.26.30-AM.png)
Trust me, when you can get down to a summer-y top, youll lose a lot of that excess heat and the layers on your bottom half wont matter. Our torsos generate and lose a lot of heat, so as long as you can regulate the temperature there, youre golden.
To keep it from looking too frumpy, many, thinner layers are key and belts are your best friends.
Stay warm and good luck on the exams my lovelies!               Category: Fashion (http://dayumn.com/category/fashion/), Featured (http://dayumn.com/category/featured/) /                Tags: Campus Fasion (http://dayumn.com/tag/campus-fasion/), fashion and functionality (http://dayumn.com/tag/fashion-and-functionality/), Fashion Firdays (http://dayumn.com/tag/fashion-firdays/), how to layer in winter (http://dayumn.com/tag/how-to-layer-in-winter/), Layering (http://dayumn.com/tag/layering/), layering and warmth (http://dayumn.com/tag/layering-and-warmth/), layering in winter (http://dayumn.com/tag/layering-in-winter/), outerwear (http://dayumn.com/tag/outerwear/), Sweaters (http://dayumn.com/tag/sweaters/), tights (http://dayumn.com/tag/tights/), warm accessories (http://dayumn.com/tag/warm-accessories/), winter fashion (http://dayumn.com/tag/winter-fashion/)

(http://dayumn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/La_bergere_by_ennil.jpg) (http://browse.deviantart.com/photography/?qh=&section=&q=fall+coat#/d1r9f1a)Photo Credit: La Bergere by Ennil/ DeviantartFash ion Contributor Maggie MacKinnon pulls us out of our bulky winter coat rut with tips and tricks for staying toasty and chic!With winter comes the cold, and with the cold comes that pair of woolen socks that you dont admit to owning, but need to wear on those drafty winter nights to avoid frostbite. I am not a person who enjoys the cold, not many of us are. Ive honestly never really liked anything about winter. Not the snow, the sports, not even the hot chocolate. I prefer to wear sun dresses, shorts and tights that are not thermal. So what Im about to say should really come as no surprise.
The thing is, I kind of hate winter coats.
Theyre large, sweltering, and often times stuffed with little baby birds. Three concepts than I am not entirely comfortable with. Many times they are itchy, or bulky, or have that terrible condition where there is no happy medium (example: Coat  on, youre in a sauna. Coat unzipped, youve just taken a dip in the Arctic ocean). Which is why I came up with an alternative way to stay warm during these obscenely cold Canadian winters; layering!
The way I see it, layering solves all of these problems because your personal warmth does not depend on one sole article of clothing. Its a team effort.  I actually own quite a few coats, but theyre morefall to early-winter coats. Not exactly suited for -20 weather. So what I like to do is sport them anyways, but with a few other things on as well.
Great tools to layer up with:So now, dearest readers, I will leave you with a challenge. Next week, on a rather chilly day, I challenge you to ditch the big hulking winter coat and layer up! It can be pretty fun to put so many articles of clothing on, working with prints and colours.

Fashion: Rocking summer pieces all year roundJanuary 27, 2012 (http://dayumn.com/2012/01/summer-clothes-for-winter/) /               Simone MacLennan /               One comment(http://dayumn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSC_0482-e1327163763852-200x300.jpg)Fashion Editor Simone MacLennan misses her summer staples and shares her tips and tricks on how to rock them all year.We all reach a point in the winter. You look at your drawers of sweaters and jeans, the row of sensible, warm, thick and dark dresses and skirts and you sigh. Now, I love my winter clothes dearly. My grey knit turtleneck dress is the love of my life, but at the end of the day, it is wrist-length, knee length, chin length and grey. It is the definition of winter dressing and some dreary overcast days I resent it. I want my summer clothes, I miss my summer clothes. So I decided to wear them.Here we have three summer staples: floral romper, white sun dress and a maxi dress.(http://dayumn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSC_0482-e1327163763852-685x1024.jpg) (http://dayumn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSC_0482.jpg)Photo: Thomas Sean LePineWhat I learned in the many trial outfits with these pieces is this: half of the piece will be covered. You NEED to layer for warmth, because these pieces just wont cut it (they are summer clothes, after all) and the whole long-sleeve-under-short-sleeve thing is a bit jr. high.
Once I accepted that, things got a lot easier. On the bright side, only seeing half of the piece makes it feel like a whole new top/skirt.
And now, How to Stay Warm When Your Main Piece Just Isnt.
1. Layer your tights. Seriously.
2. Use thicker or looser fabrics to hide potentially awkward layering-bulge.
3. Belt EVERYTHING.
4. Thick socks and boots are a godsend.
5. Heels keep a maxi-dress out of the slush, salt and snow.

Outfit #1: Romper
I knew right off the bat that Id have to cover the bottom half of the romper, that thing is short. So I layered a thick wool skirt. Result? The warmed tush ever.
To counter the the super-summeryness of the romper and avoid going overboard with colours I finished it off with a black cardigan, heels and doubled black tights.(http://dayumn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSC_0467-e1327165904880-685x1024.jpg) (http://dayumn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSC_0467.jpg)Photo: Thomas Sean LePine
Outfit #2: Maxi Dress
I really wanted the sweater to work under the dress, but alas I looked like a schoolgirl, and definitely not in a sexy way. So it is masquerading as a maxi-skirt in this outfit.
I just love the way it drapes (it moves like a dream too) but its a lot of fabric, especially with a turtleneck over it. The belt was the most necessary thing ever. I looked like a sac of potatoes.
If you try a maxi-dress with winter, either belt it up or wear heels. Your hem with thank you.

Outfit #3: White Sun Dress
I really love using this dress as a skirt. Its a bit too much white for winter as a dress, but this way it adds a really nice pop of lightness.
I decided to go with a big, black, warm, very winter sweater over it. Once again I looked like a sack of potatoes, so a belt was necessary.
I wanted to keep all the other elements of the outfit feminine so that the dress wasnt any more out of place. The sweater has the cover of Pride & Prejudice on it and the belt is floral.
Black boots and doubled black tights pull it all together.
 
It always seems such a shame to me that certain piece have a season and are never worn outside of it. Granted, turtlenecks are hard to wear in the middle of July but that doesnt mean we cant try, right?
Do you have any summer pieces you are determined to wear all year round? Or vice versa?

   Monday, August 29, 2011    Transition into Fall: Layers     
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6QQGasJrN1E/TlwB3x9NC3I/AAAAAAAAACQ/x49VEnEeBfA/s400/LayeringBlog.jpg) (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6QQGasJrN1E/TlwB3x9NC3I/AAAAAAAAACQ/x49VEnEeBfA/s1600/LayeringBlog.jpg)
With Fall on the horizon it is time to start dressing for the season! It is simple to carry Spring and Summer items into Fall by layering them with a few key pieces. 
 
Cardigans, Shrugs, and Vests: These layering tools add a little extra dimension (not to mention warmth) to an existing outfit you may already have.  Bring in a couple of autumn trend colors in these pieces to give your whole outfit a Fall feel.
 
Scarves: This accessory is especially fun when the seasons start to change because of the endless possibilities.  Lizard Thicket always has tons of colors, weights, and patterns. We can also show you lots of different ways to tie them.  A cute scarf can brighten a whole outfit!
 
Belts: Cinch in all your layers this Fall with a cute belt!  Belts are the perfect way to show off a waistline despite multiple layers.   Whether you put the belt over a cardigan or underneath, it adds a special something to any outfit.

(http://sartoriography.wordpress.com/tag/why-is-this-models-hair-so-big/)Welcome to Part 2 of this series on how to stay warm in the cold and still look cool.  The most important advice I can offer?  Layer, layer, layer!  Layering is the key to keeping warm but still maintaining your style.  If you do it well, layering can make for a complex, creative look that catches the eye while also keeping out the wicked cold.  Once you become a pro, you can blend all kinds of fabrics, colors, or prints into one funky outfit.  Take that, winter!
Layering 101:
1: The Basics: For the layer closest to you skin, start with a pair of tights or leggings.  If youre going to wear jeans or pants over them (if I wear pants in the winter theres generally something under them), I suggest a pair of stretchy, basic tights that wont make for extra bulk or get ruined by the roughness of jeans rubbing against them for hours.
Even in Chicago winters I refuse to sacrifice my love of dresses, so I tend to wear two paris of tights most of the time, or a pair of tights under my leggings.  If youre adventurous and interested in taking on a current trend, try layering a thick pair of brightly colored tights under an open-weave, patterned pair like I did here (http://sartoriography.wordpress.com/2010/01/31/kind-of-blue-thursday-january-28/).  Even with the open weave two pairs are warmer than one, and provided that you choose tights that are stretchy and well-made, you shouldnt be adding too much bulk.
Next, layer on a close-fitting tank top of a non-cotton material.  I have a stock of basic tanks from places like H&M or American Apparel.  The tank should be fitted: too loose or too tight and it prevents warm air from resting between your body and the material.  Choose something in a thin material that will hold its shape.
Socks are key to not freezing to death in the cold.  Im a big fan of SmartWool (https://www.smartwool.com/default.cfm), which makes non-itchy, relatively thin wool socks that keep your tootsies toasty.  Knee and over-the-knee socks are currently super on-trend and provide a great extra layer on top of tights.

2: Beyond the Basics: After youve got your basic pieces, its time to add some color, volume, and sass.  I have a set of winter standards: a turtleneck and jumper dress, a sweater dress with a cardigan and belt, a pair of shorts and a sweater, a skirt and top combo, or a dress and cape.  At this stage you want to find colors and prints that are distinct but harmonize well and pieces that are designed to layer (i.e. no beading on a shirt under a sweater, no cloth flowers or ruffles on skirts bulging out from underneath tops).  Avoid heavy or thick fabrics or anything that will bunch under or over another piece.  Again, for pieces underneath others, fitted is generally best.
When it comes to layering, the cardigan is a girls best friend.  It can be worn over a dress, a skirt and top, or jeans and a tee, and it can come off when it gets warm inside, a key feature in not sweating to death once youve made it from the tundra to the indoors.

3: Layering Chic!: After youve layered several pieces and have a look you like, add on the accessories.  In Chicago, a scarf is a must.  Its both an essential part of urban style and a major factor in keeping out the cold.  A fur stole can work well in place of a scarf, too.  Its super warm and has a vintage flare that makes any outfit look a bit more luxe.
With layers, its important to avoid looking too flowy or bulky.  Try a belt to cinch things in and help streamline your look.
In winter I tend to be a serious devotee of knee-high boots.  Theyre in style, look great, and add a thick layer over tights and socks.  Theyre also pretty much impervious to snow, which means no soggy, freezing feet.  And who doesnt want to look a little badass when youre tromping through the winter wonderland?
And finally, I often stay away from complicated jewelry or other accessories in the winter.  Im wary of my outfit looking too busy or getting my pieces all tangled together.  This happens often and I end up looking like a cat stuck in a box.  Fun for others, not for me.  So, I generally let my scarf, shoes, and bag do the talking for me.

4: Ready for the Cold!: Once youve got your outfit and your accessories, its time to layer on the final pieces- the hat, gloves, coat, and bag.  The beauty of skillful layering is that youll be warm enough that you wont have to wear a giant coat that obscures your entire body and outfit.  Theres nothing worse than getting FGLC  (Fat Guy in a Little Coat) syndrome in winter, so pick a coat thats loose enough to allow room for the pieces youll have under and thats long enough overall so that you have some extra warmth over your tights.
Coats, gloves, and hats can be super fun, so pick something that keeps you warm but has an exciting print or interesting details.  Since your coat is the first thing people see of your outfit in winter, make it something special or at least eye-catching.  Experiment with wearing gloves over coat sleeves or even with arm warmers in place of gloves.
Now, put it all together and there you have it- a warm, funky outfit that has you looking cool but feeling toasty out in the cold!

How do you stay warm in a city thats so cold?!
It has taken me a while to put this together (read: most of the winter), but here you finally have a post on how to stay warm in the cold and still look cool.  And this post came at such an appropriate time- a whole night of snow in Chicago mean that I woke up strategizing about how to stay warm for a long day of work, classes, and walking all over campus and my neighborhood.
The most important advice I can offer for keeping warm (and the focus of this post)? Layer, layer, layer!  Layering is the key to keeping warm but still looking good.  If you do it well, layering can make for a complex, creative look that catches the eye while also keeps out the wicked cold.  It also means that you can blend a number of fabrics, colors, or prints into one funky outfit.  I particularly like this, as I hate being limited to just one basic style.

Fashion tips: Layering for winterPile it on! Dont let winter take the fun out of your daily dressing. Utilize our layering fashion tips to maximize your winter style. By      Anya Georgijevic   Photography         Leda & St. Jacques         (3 people)Document user evaluation Pagination(http://www.ellecanada.com/img/photos/biz/auto-upload/elleca/MLSJ-02-EQ243.jpg)
As temperatures reach the ultimate winter lows, staying stylish may present a challenge. Instead of reaching for our ski attire and well want to its time to take up the delicate art of winter layering. It takes some smart planning and a keen eye to put together a cohesive outfit featuring what can sometimes be up to ten layers of garments. When browsing famous street style blogs, youll notice that the people most photographed are the ones that appear to be experts at layering: they know how to balance proportions by mixing different silhouettes; how to avoid looking winter drab by incorporating colour and prints; how to put their perennial mainstays to good use; and, perhaps most importantly, how to accessorize.

 1. Winter fashion tips: Balance proportions
  Multiple layers tend to add a lot of bulk to ones appearance, so its important to balance out proportions. Pair your chunky sweaters (http://www.ellecanada.com/fashion/trends/winter-fashion-trend-cozy-knits/s/4222/), cardigans, or bulky fur pieces with slimmer bottom silhouettes. Items like cigarette pants, slim-cut jeans, or leather leggings leather is ideal for warmth can really show off your figure underneath the layers. Or on the opposite end, wear your favourite wide-legged trousers (great for hiding long johns underneath) with a slim wool coat to elongate the silhouette.

2. Winter fashion tips: Mix in colour
  In winter especially when layering we tend to gravitate towards a monochromatic palette of black and grey. While those shades are easy to mix and match, the final ensemble might end up looking greyer than the dreariest of winter clouds. Add some colour to your day by mixing in one bright item into your outfit, whether its a sunny yellow sweater, (http://www.ellecanada.com/fashion/trends/winter-fashion-essentials-7-winter-brights/s/4240/) a printed scarf, or even scrapping your everyday black pump for coloured ones.

  3. Winter fashion tips: Invest in a wool cape

  A cape is a key item when it comes to layering. Its generous width allows for multiple layers to be work underneath, be it cardigan, a blazer, or both. Not only is this comfortable and cozy, but its one of those perpetually chic staples every woman should have in her closet. It makes a wonderful companion to both sporty and dressy ensembles, since it could be paired with anything from jeans to evening gowns.
 
4. Winter fashion tips: Incorporate spring items to mix up textures
Wearing all knits for months on end can get pretty monotonous. If you are getting eager to bring back your favorite spring garments into the mix or to introduce some new ones   you can do so by layering with your warmest attire. For example, wear your little denim jacket under your wool coat or with a fur (or faux fur) gilet, bring your floral silk dress out of the summer box and layer it under a chunky knit cardigan or, if you are really adventurous, pair your open toe booties with thick wool socks. 

 5. Winter fashion tips: Have fun with accessories

 In wintertime, accessories are plentiful: scarves, snoods, earmuffs, headbands, toques, hats the possibilities are endless. If wearing a wrist-exposing cape, invest in a great pair of knit or leather opera gloves you can embellish them with chunky bangles that are easy to slip on and off. An oversized chunky scarf or shawl can add an amazing amount of warmth, so much so that you can ditch that heavy winter jacket for a lighter leather one. Top it all off with a stylish topper, whether its a knit toque, a felt fedora, or colourful earmuffs, because these are the pieces that really allow you to express your personal style.

10 Tips for layering your winter clothing     
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I3RB7vy32PY/TOPUMnNIMsI/AAAAAAAAB24/cOeUGrCk-lk/s320/Pants.jpg) (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I3RB7vy32PY/TOPUMnNIMsI/AAAAAAAAB24/cOeUGrCk-lk/s1600/Pants.jpg)
Looking stylish and keeping warm in winter is easy when you have key layering pieces such as slim tunic sweaters, cardigans, fur vest, and short jacket. These are all must-haves for fall/winter. They make perfect layering pieces for not only keeping us warm but looking chic as well. Its smart to choose warm fabrics like tweed, wool, polyester, & even fleece in order to stay cozy.

Try to avoid looking bulky from head to toe, instead be creative in layering different pieces. Make it that more interesting! Sleek riding boots or suede booties are a nice finishing touch to an entire outfit. Be sure not to forget the accessories such as hats, gloves, belts, scarves, and jewelry to complete your every day outfits! Here are my 10 tips for you to stay cozy and stylish this winter.

Keep Your Head Covered

Most of your body heat escapes from your head. So, wearing a hat will make a huge difference. It will keep you warm and looking fabulous at the same time.

Fabrics for Cool Weather

Tweed and wool are two fabrics that provide warmth, while still looking fashionable. You can usually tell which fabrics would be warmer by the weight and texture - warmer fabrics are generally heavier, thicker, and not as soft as cooler fabrics.

Layer Your Look

The key to layering clothing items without looking too frumpy is using color and bulk to your advantage.

Add Color to Your Outfit

Wearing all one color, even in different shades, or wearing black, winter white or gray with a color that pops, provides a slimmer look rather than wearing several different colors all at once.

Accessorize for Cold Weather

Accessories are an important part of layering. Wearing gloves, boots and a scarf gives you a stylish and complete look.

Use Wicking Fabric

Wicking fabric is used as a base layer to keep your skin from chapping, drying, or feeling much of anything if you put it on tight enough. The fabric is also found on hats and blankets-perfect for campers, hikers, and stranded drivers who have fallen into a snow embankment.

Insulate

Insulate with wool and/or fleece. Fleece scarves, wraps, and sheets are ideal for chilly days. Include at least one tartan/Scottish-inspired fleece shirt or scarf--the rugged lumberjack look never goes out of style.

Windproof jackets

Get a good jacket with a hood, they are essential for outdoor sports, skiing, winter walks, and on the harshest of days, getting the mail.

Synthetic Undies

Don't wear cotton in the winter, they hold sweat and leave skin clammy. Layer with thermal underwear for 'premium' insulation-just buy your real clothes one size larger to accommodate for the extra bulk.

Avoid Cotton Pants

Stay away from cotton pants, and choose the windbreaker or raincoat styles instead. Cotton pants will always absorb moisture and add about five pounds of bulky material to your outfit when wet.

Cover Your Ears!

Get a hat with ear covers. Or be the first on the block to sport those fluffy earmuffs. Just find a way to keep your head and ears warm, by wrapping a fleece scarf around your head, or, do it Survivor style with a 'Buff' head wrap.

Layering Your Look In Winter {Style Insider} Layering your clothing is not a new concept, but not only will it keep you warm and comfortable this winter, youll reinvigorate your current look and discover new ways to wear your wardrobe staples year-round.  With a few winter essentials on hand such as quality leggings, long sleeve merino tops, leather boots and a cosy wool-blend coat, putting a warm winter outfit together is a breeze.
The most important thing to remember when layering your outfit is to avoid wearing bulky clothing together. If you are wearing a thin shirt underneath, wear something bulky and oversized over it.
Another important thing to remember is balance. When wearing something bulky and oversized on top, go for something more streamlined as a bottom, like a good quality legging or a skinny leg jean.
Heres a few inspirational looks to help you layer your own winter wardrobe. Have fun!

A How-to Guide Miami Winter Fashion02 Feb, 2012
Tweet (https://twitter.com/share)c21603e40aeb03bfe7750b8368660e2b0 (http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&noui&jump=close&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffashionparkway.com%2F2012%2F02%2Fhow-to-guide-miami-winter-fashion%2F&title=A+How-to+Guide+%E2%80%93+Miami+Winter+Fashion) <ins><ins></ins></ins>Miami Winter FashionSo how do we Miamians take part in Miami winter fashion without overdoing it? Lets be honest, Miami generally has two temperatures: hot and hotter. But at this time of year, even Miami tends to cool down (although were still in the mid-70s most days!).  Here are some tips and tricks to stay warm and fashionable during these winter months!Tips for Miami Winter Fashion(http://fashionparkway.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/miamiwinter1.jpg)(http://assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png) (http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffashionparkway.com%2F2012%2F02%2Fhow-to-guide-miami-winter-fashion%2F&media=http%3A%2F%2Ffashionparkway.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F01%2Fmiamiwinter1.jpg&description=Miami%20Winter%20Fashion)Miami Winter Fashion, A How-to: 1. (Faux) fur try wearing a fur bag or vest this season 2. Velvet anything 3. Classic leather pieces 4. Winter brights and layering pieces 5. texture in lace and crochet! 6. Baublebar & Jewelmint accessories 7. Clutches! In neutral, prints, or as an additional pop of colorInvest in some winter fabrics. Since most days its too hot to wear a full-on fur (or faux fur) coat, invest in a fur vest or other fur accents, such as a fur bag! I happened to stumble upon a Bloomingdales fur tote bag whilst thrifting last month for a steal (try $5!) and I absolutely love it. If youre unsure about participating in the faux fur trend, I highly recommend you try wearing it in small doses, such as in the detailing of a bag. Need inspiration? Check out Liz of Late Afternoons (http://www.lateafternoonblog.com/) recent look and how she wore her fur bag (http://www.lateafternoonblog.com/2012/01/check-and-mate.html).  Want to try it out this look but dont want to shell out the big bucks for it? Try your luck at thrifting for one, or better yet, for all you handy ladies out there a DIY (http://sincerelyjazz.blogspot.com/2011/10/diy-fur-bag.html) (this one by Sincerely Jazz (http://sincerelyjazz.blogspot.com/2011/10/diy-fur-bag.html) is great!).
Another winter must-have? Velvet. Velvet is one of my favorite fabrics and adds just the right amount of texture to any ol outfit. Try a velvet blazer to add structure to your look or a velvet dress with strategic cutouts for a more feminine vibe. Thrift stores are chock full of all things velvet, so if youre like me and love a good fashion hunt, I suggest you try finding your next statement velvet piece there! Ive come home with quite a few thrifted velvet pieces myself (as I have a borderline obsession with it), which include both a black and burgundy blazer, a velvet dress, as well as a velvet skirt all for less than $6 for each piece! Not a thrifter? Thats okay! Our retail giants, including Forever 21 and H&M, have them in stock as well!
(http://fashionparkway.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/fabrics.jpg)(http://assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png) (http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffashionparkway.com%2F2012%2F02%2Fhow-to-guide-miami-winter-fashion%2F&media=http%3A%2F%2Ffashionparkway.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F01%2Ffabrics.jpg&description=miami%20winter%20fashion)Murval Ulysees faux fur handbag, H&M leather jackets, Modcloth dressNext up: leather. Leather (or faux leather, pleather, what have you) adds just the right amount of edge to any winter look. For my fellow Miamians, while it may be just be a little too hot to wear the leather pants weve all been coveting (these are gorgeous (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/j-brand-lambskin-leather-pants/3206772?cm_cat=datafeed&cm_ite=j_brand_lambskin_leather_pants:379920&cm_pla=bottoms:women:pant&cm_ven=Froogle&mr:referralID=NA&mr:trackingCode=2ACE8E2D-DEEA-E011-8116-001517B1882A)), a nice fitting pair of leather shorts would work as a great alternative. Leather skirts are also just as wearable in the Miami heat, as they are not as restrictive as leather pants may be. Try a full, pleated leather skirt for a classy, yet edgy vibe or a high-waisted leather mini for a night on the town! Also, dont forget about those trusty leather moto-jackets! Some nights dip into the 50s (and dare I say it, the occasional 40s), so leather jackets will definitely come in handy when youre out and about.(http://fashionparkway.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/brights1.jpg)(http://assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png) (http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffashionparkway.com%2F2012%2F02%2Fhow-to-guide-miami-winter-fashion%2F&media=http%3A%2F%2Ffashionparkway.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F01%2Fbrights1.jpg&description=miami%20winter%20fashion)Try incorporating some unexpected color and fun prints in your winter look! These pieces from H&M and Modcloth are great (and won't break the bank!). <ins><ins></ins></ins>
We all know that during the winter months, layers are our friends. But in Miami, light layers are our greatest friends. As Miami weather can be bi-polar at times (as it can be chilly in the morning and sweltering hot by midday), light layers allow you to stay cool yet winter-fashion worthy! Try layering with silk tops (like this lovely Equipment blouse (http://www.shopbop.com/earl-retro-dot-blouse-equipment/vp/v=1/845524441925271.htm?folderID=2534374302168584&fm=browse-brand-shopbysize-viewall&colorId=14249)) and experimenting with different textures lace and crochet are my current favorites! Also pile on the color. Your typical winter palette does not apply to our tropical paradise. So don those winter brights, ladies! Layering with fun prints and patterns will also Miami-fy your winter wear and will add depth to your outfit to boot! Florals, polka dots, and stripes? Wear em!
Lastly, accessorize.
Accessorizing with Miami Winter FashionWhats a Miami girl without her statement jewelry and handbag? Im currently lusting over quite a few pieces of jewelry from Baublebar (http://baublebar.com/) and Jewelmint (http://www.jewelmint.com/), and if you havent already, I suggest you get on over there immediately! Theyre both quite affordable and offer up some great conversation pieces. Besides, everyone loves a good arm party, right? (Take note: The Man Repeller (http://www.manrepeller.com/) does it so well! And veering a bit off topic anyone catch her in Miami a few weeks ago? Wed love to hear about it!). You can also add color to your winter look through colorful scarves or a great bag! Brightly colored clutches (or a makeshift one Ipad cases work great as a clutch!) add a bold statement to any look and are so versatile that they can be worn from day to night.(http://fashionparkway.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bauble.jpg)(http://assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png) (http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffashionparkway.com%2F2012%2F02%2Fhow-to-guide-miami-winter-fashion%2F&media=http%3A%2F%2Ffashionparkway.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F01%2Fbauble.jpg&description=miami%20winter%20fashion)our favorite 'baubles' peri glam strands, azure triad collar necklace, sunglow collar, lotus tear necklace, galaxy choker, geo contour cuff, silver caviar cuff

Fashion Week: The art of layering
by Katie Hinderer (http://www.mercatornet.com/tiger_print/author_page/fashion_week_the_art_of_layering) | 22 Feb 2010 | (http://www.mercatornet.com/themes/design/images/comments.gif) (5) (http://www.mercatornet.com/tiger_print/view/6648#idc-container)
  (http://w.sharethis.com/images/check-big.png) (http://w.sharethis.com/images/check-big.png) (http://w.sharethis.com/images/check-big.png)
tags : fashion (http://www.mercatornet.com/tiger_print/tag/fashion), fashion week (http://www.mercatornet.com/tiger_print/tag/fashion+week), layering (http://www.mercatornet.com/tiger_print/tag/layering), trends (http://www.mercatornet.com/tiger_print/tag/trends)
 New York Fashion Week has wrapped up; the designers have jet off to London for the next week of catwalks; and fashion lovers remain fixed to their computers to get the latest trends. One great trend I noticed from New Yorks week was layering. Why is layering so great? It allows for more creativity, a little eccentricity, and usually means less skin is on display. Plus, with the simple addition of another piece you can create an entirely different outfit.
(http://static.squidoo.com/resize/squidoo_images/-1/draft_lens7315592module60582252photo_1254395407Jigsaw_Autumn_Winter_Fashion_Looks_2_-_Womens_Clothes_Online.jpg)
Layering certainly isnt new to the fashion world. Its been slowly making an appearance for a couple years now. Weve got t-shirts paired with jackets, then someone added the scarf, and then a necklace. Now you can take that combo and add another jacket or another shirt or two.
Designers this year combined different materials, patterns and textures just to create one look. For example, Rodarte displayed floral short-sleeved dresses with a lighter colored long-sleeved shirt made of gauze and lace. Elie Tahari models strutted in a dress, with a chucky sweater belted, and an overcoat. Tight and boots completed the look.
 
The draw back to the layered look is that it can leave even the most well-intentioned person looking frumpy and unkempt. There is an art to layering.
 Try these basic tips: Stick to the same color family. Whether your going to go brown, blue, or yellow try to go with colors that can all fit in the same color family. Going crazy on the color will leave you looking more like a clown than an aspiring fashionista.
Think shape. Layering should not diminish the bodys natural shape. It shouldnt look like you are walking around in a sack. Try a belt or fitted jacket to give some shape and dimension to the outfit.
Go beyond the moment. Maybe you are cold when dressing, but you could step into a warm environment. Make sure layers can be taken off and added as needed without causing embarrassment as to whats underneath.
Be creative. Layering, whether its three necklaces or two shirts and a sweater, is all about creativity. Think outside the box. What can be paired together? Experiment with various options.

Wardrobe Transition Summer Items Good for FallSeptember 22, 2011 by Jane (http://the330.com/author/jane/) Leave a Comment (http://the330.com/fashion-mojito/wardrobe-transition-what-summer-items-are-good-for-fall/#respond) Filed under: Fashion Mojito (http://the330.com/category/fashion-mojito/)Tagged with Perhaps you are in the process of moving some of your summer-like items to a less utilized closet these days Be careful befor(http://the330.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/shorts.bmp) (http://the330.com/fashion-mojito/wardrobe-transition-what-summer-items-are-good-for-fall/attachment/shorts/)e you forget about some of your favorite warm weather favorites for a few months  as many items can be layered up for Fall fun.

2. Maxi Dress.  Skirts are hot for Autumn midi, maxi, and mini so why not hold onto your favorite long summery staple and wear it under either a chubby sweater, fitted moto jacket, or over a second skin turtle neck.  Swathe a lovely scarf about your neck, and toss on some boots and its a (http://the330.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/pink-skirt-342x400.jpg) (http://the330.com/fashion-mojito/wardrobe-transition-what-summer-items-are-good-for-fall/attachment/pink-skirt/)done deal.
3. Floral or solid floaty skirt.  Theres nothing fresher (fashion-wise) than mixing two opposites.  A pretty femme floaty skirt worn with a textured sweater in a robust shade like espresso, black, plum, or whisky is eye-catching and a great way to get extra mileage out of something you may have previously thought of as a single season item.

Need inspiration?  I love a good ole red dress to really up entrance drama.  No one would be able to miss you sauntering into a chi-chi soiree in a hug-a-me tight crimson number and love me tender stilettos.  I love the shape of this number featured right found on topshop.com due to it(http://the330.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/red-purse.jpg) (http://the330.com/fashion-mojito/crimson-tide/attachment/red-purse/)s versatile and universally-flattering shape and interesting beaded detailing on the short sleeves.  Don this piece with black tights and a black suede bootie OR a flesh-toned open toe heel without hosiery.
If an all-red frock isnt your speed try the on-trend menswear trouser in red as an (http://the330.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/red-boots-311x400.jpg) (http://the330.com/fashion-mojito/crimson-tide/attachment/red-boots/)alternative.  Keep the pants as the highlighted piece and pair with simple basics like a white blouse or tee, classic blazer or tailored wool coat, and a simple pump.  I like the deeper colored red pair featured left found on zara.com.
Accessories are another great way to incorporate color into your reportoire.  Whether you choose a bag or a pair of shoes you will jazz it up!  I am keen on this flat clutch that also converts into a crossover bag in supple suede or these fab-oosh wedge ankle booties in merlot.  Clutch available on topshop.com and booties at zara.com.

I read People Style Watch and Instyle Magazines... my ex used to pick all my clothes for me... and dressed me like a  50 year old woman... so after my divorce... I didn't know how to dress myself... it took me a long time... of reading, watching people, searching the net... and trying on different things to find a style that was truly me... that I feel comfortable in. 
 
At the end of the day... it is just a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, some sort of coat... and shoes... but with the right pieces... you can walk out the door well put together... no more effort than the next person....

Just wanted to post this here for Anemone.  I think I told her that I'd post a photo of my top awhile back.  It's been so long since I've worn this top.  Today, I'm wearing it with a white cardigan instead of the green one.  This cardigan is slightly shorter.  I love that look of the longer shirt/shorter over shirt/cardigan.

All are from Kohl's.

I haven't been to Kohls in a while, I need to stop in soon and look at what they have for Fall!

Thanks!  Me too...haven't gone shopping at Kohl's either.

Is it really dimpled?  That's a perfect Halloween color tie.

I think I have lived in a black and grey world for way to long... now, even when I wear mostly black, I need to have a pop of color somewhere or else I feel like it looks kind of sad...


Like this one... this trench coat is beautiful in person, but does not photograph too well and it's too bulky so it is also a piece that I will have to leave home.

Anemone, instead of that one, I am taking this one... they are both lace trench... the first one... the lace is "glued" on... the one I am taking... the lace is overlay... The first one is by BEBE... the second one is by BCBG.


So, which one do you ladies like better?

Post by: LadyLionness on December 12, 2012, 01:48:06 PM
Which one elongates my legs?  Lolz...




I am not sure if the underlayer is wool or not... sure feels like it... but it does have lace overlay on it as well.  It is a more bulkier look.... and much thicker.  The thing I love about this one is the military look... the buttons...whic h you can't see in the pix...




The second one... I love the lace edging... I forgot what it's called... lolz... but it is a very delicate lace.

Post by: Calypso on December 12, 2012, 02:06:53 PM
I agree w/ Anemone. They both look nice.. u look taller. But it's hard to see the details of each coat. Either one would be fine though.

What's the weather like in Cali this time of year? U could decide based on whether you'll need the thicker, heavier coat or not.
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: LadyLionness on December 12, 2012, 02:26:26 PM
Yes, they are.  The these two are two of my more expensive trench coats.


The first one... I bought from ebay... brand new... for about $125.  The second one, I bought from Chicago's China town about 6 years ago for about $150.


Normally, I try to stick around $50... I have been lucky enough to nab a few at $25 to $30...

Summer- most of the clothing I've gotten from JCP is from the petite section, some are from the regular size section. I don't have a particular or favorite section I shop...I browse all over.

I think it also depends on your JCP. The one near my house that I go to regularly has pretty decent selection in their petite section. However, another JCP across town has a small and very very pog laus selection in their petite area.

Some of my favorite tops lately have been from JCP. You have to look around though, they still have some pog laus stuff but if you look around, you're bound to find some really nice pieces. You can also shop online and have it shipped to your nearest JCP for no charge. I've done this before too.

It's become one of my favorite stores.  :)

True our JCP is small and small town so what they carry is different so you always have to check with another JCP or order online.  Some location have more to choose..... The day I post here I went to JCP and the clearance section had a few tops I like but I had my baby so couldn't shop because the idea was just to go to mall an get her ear pierced.  I'm free tomorrow and will have my husband watch the baby so I can go back to JCP and Kohls to check out the petite section.

I like this... but I think that with the flair of the skirt... maybe a shorter cardigan?  Or maybe don't button it?  With both a looser skirt and looser top... it seems to be swallowing you... or maybe add a belt.

Today's outfit -

Skirt (zara), black lace top (F21), charcoal cardigan (F21)

I like the simplicity of this outfit. I think the cardigan work well with the skirt.  A belt will work well with the outfit.

Tuesday's outfit.

I'm wearing my 'frumpy' pants today (they are pretty lose on me) - I haven't done laundry and I didn't want to iron my other pants. Ya know, it's one of those days so don't judge.  ;D

Top Lela Rose (Neiman Marcus/Target collection), pants Gap, purple cardigan Banana Republic

Love the outfit. The Lela Rose top looks great on you. I got the top too but it looked horrible on me so back to the store it went.

You always dressed so well and remind me of home in southern where I would not have problem shopping because Gap, JCrew, etc. are some of my favorite stores.  I just love shopping outlet too but always a drag to drive out there to one if you're in central valley.

Love the NYE outfit! Sometimes I feel like NYE is the only time I can get away with wearing sequins. LOL

Your legs also look super long!  ;)

Thanks Anemone. It's definitely a challenge to wear sequin to work.  As for the long leg, it probably the camera angle. I  may look tall in picture but I'm short in person. lol.

LOL... like I was telling Summerberry, don't be turned off by the entire store. You have to browse around. Not every section is fashionable... hahahaa... I've got quite a few tops from there that I really like for work. And the quality is nice too. Some of the clothing is still pog pog laug looking but browse around if you have time. Or shop online.

My favorite jeans right now is a pair I got from JCP.

 Honestly, I'm too impatience to browse around. Whenever I shop at JCP I always feel like the I'm too old for the junior section but still too young for the pog laug section. The few time I that I found something I like, the price for those items were more than what I would like to pay.

Anemone, I am loving all your outfits... especially the skinny jeans one.


Reload's wife... your new year's eve outfit really shows your curves... you have a beautiful body.




Our JC Penny does not even carry Mango... except what people have decided to return... and even on clearance, still not the price I am willing to pay.  For far, I like the JCP line, and some stuff in the Liz Claiborne line... and the decree line for jeans and stuff... I like their ANA tops... and a few pieces of their worthington line... but this is more of a hit or miss kind of a thing.


I don't think it is so much of whether it is from the junior's section or pog laus section... it is more of KNOWING which cut, length and style looks good on your body...
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: Reload Wife on January 11, 2013, 12:38:13 PM
LOL...I agree. I don't look in the junior section, way too old for that. And some of the women section are very pog laug still. The JCP near me has a decent petite section so I start there first. I also browse the Mango line but it's still a bit pricey for what I'd pay. Joe Fresh (a Canadian line) is coming to JCP soon so I'm looking forward to that.

SB, they are just regular tights. It's opaque so it's a little darker but it's not thick. Most of my tights are from Target Merona line, some are from Marshalls....w hatever I find on sale. I'm not picky with tights.

I can't do bare legs during the winter so I always wear tights.

I will need to give JP another try.

I like Target collection of tight but just never know which one is good but can never do those light nylon stocking.  One thing about me is that I have very small feet so it what stopping me from dressing up and then I have not walk in heel for over 15 year so I'm not comfortable or could get a hang of it anymore.
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: SummerBerry on January 11, 2013, 04:48:28 PM
SB, I like the Merona ones. Xhilaration makes a cheaper tight that is only $5 and I like those too. I'm not too picky on tights. I do like the opaque black tights vs the sheer black tights.

I don't think you need to wear heels with tights all the time. I wear my ballet flats with my tights and skirts/dresses sometimes too and it looks cute.

Here's an outfit I wore last week (I don't think I posted this one). When I wear flats, I make sure my skirt/dress is not too long otherwise it will look like I'm playing dress up. Not saying wearing mini skirts either, but keep it above the knee and it will make your legs look longer. Or at least that has worked for me. LOL ;D

If shoe is not a problem I wouldn't have a problem dressing up.  Girls shoe don't fit me because they are width while I have such small skinny narrow feet that even my 4 pairs of heel that I got from Lite Stride doesn't feel comfortable or tight enough either.  I can't wear flat it even worse than heel.

Anemone....... ..... I went to Target over the weekend to buy my daughter her new Ipod 5 because it was a good deal with a $30 Target gift card for purchasing it.  They were pretty much all the same price regardless of where I go so I took the best deal I can get.

I did get a chance to look at the tight.  They have 2 opaque tight are you wearing the regular one or the premium?  Just $4 in difference between the two.  Do you let them air dry after taking it out of the washer?  I was going to grab one of the premium one but they ran out of black in size s.  I didn't want to buy size M because of the height guideline. 

I'm going to cool down before making another trip to Target.  I go to Target almost every other day along with Walmart.  I told my daughter small town and these are the 2 most frequent store we have to shop all the time.  No wonder my husband and daughter doesn't go there and I have to end up doing all the shopping when we need something.

I was digging through the clearance rack so I got a blazer which was regular price at $30 mark down for $15 but I didn't even pay attention until later in the day when looking back at the receipt and it was only $8.  I really like the blazer and check online and the price is regular and not even on clearance.  A top for $11 and scarf are always expensive but I had to grab it because I like the design.  Next time I'm going to the fabric store and shop like how Trouble mentioned she does it.

The blouse feel funny because it cling to your body so I might take it back and the length if fine but the arm is a little longer.

I bought the same blazer. I like it but haven't found a chance to wear it out. I wouldn't wear it to work because it's too formal...no one here wears suits unless they're an executive. hehe

I just wear blazer with jean.  I actually like the material and weight of this blazer.  They have some online of the same blazer but just longer sleeve but not sure if I want to order it even though I would like a black and gray one.  I probably won't have a time or place to wear it either but just good thing I thought it was clearance for $15 but when I looked at the receipt later it was only $8.  My daughter already wore my scarf today for school.  I bet she's going to wear the blazer sooner or later.

Post by: SummerBerry on January 14, 2013, 06:21:48 PM
Thank you!


Summerberry, I am sooooo happy to see that you went and picked up a few things for yourself! You should start posting up your outfits too. Even if you don't dress up, just put an outfit together and post it up to share with us. That blazer looks really nice! And I like the blouse a lot! I might have to stop by Target and check out their clearance racks as I know there is tons on clearance right now.

I usually wear a cami under my blouse - so if you fee like it's clingy, try slipping on a very thin cami and it should help with the clingyness. Otherwise, I think you should totally keep it! Love the print on that blouse.

As for tights, I know they have the premium Merona ones and the cheaper Xhilaration ones. I have bought both and honestly...I like them both. It's opaque so both are dark. I do machine wash and machine dry but you can also just let it air dry. It's cheap enough so I don't feel too bad if I have to replace them after a few wears.

Good choice on the scarf!  O0

I have never been comfortable wearing a cami under my shirt.  I never find one that is good.  My daughter has one from Forever 21 and kind of almost raggy but we can't find the exact one anymore.  The sleeve is a little long but I have to tried and play with the clothes again this weekend. 

I might head out to JCP and see if they have pants because online has some nice one but not sure about ordering size and Kohls tonight and check their clearance rack if they have anything good. 

We'll see if I start dressing and sharing photo again because I'm still cleaning out old clothes.

RW, oohhhh I love that Amrita Singh necklace! I love the stuff from AS, I have yet to make a purchase though. Love the pop of color on the necklace with the outfit.

Thanks Anemone. I love the jewelries from Amrita Singh but was hesitate to buy them even when there was a sale.  The prices for the pieces was a bit much when you added in the shipping cost.

I found this AS necklace from Ross for $19.95. I know I had to get it. You can't beat that price for AS. The Ross carries a small selection.  So far I have seen a few AS pieces; two pair of earrings, three necklaces and three set of bangles. 

It has been awhile since I went to that Ross. Maybe next week I'll try to stop by to see if I can find any new AS pieces.

I like the top you got there from JCP but unfortuntely they didn't have any in petite xs or s so I can try it out.  The polka dot one is nice but make it look blind on me or dizzy......... ...  I was able to dig through the clearance rack at JCP and got 4 tops.  I didn't find anything at Kohls.......ju st too pog laus.....  I guess Forever 21 and H& M this weekend. 

I like how JCP is like now because the price seem reasonable now and completely like they made a lot of changes.......

Anemone, once in a blue moon, Kohl's petite section have one or two nice dresses in the Chaps, Ralph Lauren Line... I recently bought two... same dress in different color schemes... for roughly $8 each... down from over $100.  Great for work with blazers or over skinny jeans for casual events.
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: SummerBerry on January 17, 2013, 03:43:42 PM
Summerberry, not bad at all for $20! You can easily pair those tops with jeans or slacks and throw on a cardigan or sweater. Good to see you shopping!

I'm not fond of Kohl's petite selection, they are much more pog laug than JCP. Hahahaaa... I've never bought anything from the petite section there. But I do find some decent stuff with the Lauren Conrad collection or the Elle line.

BTW, love the pink wall color against the clothes. :)

I wish I just have a bigger butt to filled in those slack, pant, etc.   Slack and jean I wished they have them in size 0 instead of mostly just 2 up because it still can be loose on me.  I don't want to grab Junior jean either. 

It easier for me to hang the clothes on my daughter board with 2 hook to take picture.  My parents are coming to town tomorrow for a wedding this weekend here so they can watch my 9 months old baby and maybe I can go shopping at Modesto Mall or Gilroy Outlet.  I have not been to outlet for a long time even though it usually like 1 1/2-2 hours away to get to one.  My daughter refused to go to the local mall here because there is no good store so she need to go used her gift card she got during x-mas.......  I really want to tried Limited or Express for their pant.

Post by: Reload Wife on January 17, 2013, 07:31:02 PM
Summerberry, a lot of the petite bloggers who are very very small size like Jcrew and Loft. If you can get to a store, I say check those out. I don't think Express is very petite friendly. Nor Limited. I actually find that Limited sizes run large because whenever I shop there, I always go down in size.

Check Ann Taylor, Loft, Banana Republic, and Jcrew. They all have petites and they are more "small" petite friendly.

Summerberry. I second Anemone on stores.  Ann Taylor and Loft are currently hold sale this week. Ann Taylor is having 50 % of sale and Loft is having 60% of sale.

Limited and Express are not petite friendly stores but every once in a while you can find clothes that work.

I love colors but I don't actually wear a lot of it in my wardrobe...I tend to stay very safe with the blacks, greys.... but I do love to add that splash of color with my accessories. I can't wait for spring though because I bought some colorful pants last season on clearance. We'll see if I can pull off magenta pink! Hahaaaa  ;D

I think you can pull off any color.  I don't mind colorful skirts but shy away from colorful pants.

I'm trying to add more prints to my closet.  It's hard to tell but prints on the blouse are mini clover.

Ann Taylor is having an additional 50% sale items so I decided to stop by Ann Taylor during my lunch break  to check out their sale. 

I ended up getting this dress. The dress with $59.99 with 50% = $29.99.

Trouble, you always look so polish. I envy your tall and lean body!  ;D

Trouble - I love all your outfits. I envy you that you can wear regular clothes. 

thanks, ladies.  i don't think i'm that tall but i am glad that i can wear regular sizes.   ;D 

I've been MIA....and honestly, my outfits this week were boooorrring!  :D It's finally Friday so here's one for casual Friday!

T-shirt F21, cardigan Hollister, jeans Express, boots Target. Also, just to note - I haven't worn these jeans in about 4 years. They were my favorite pair of jeans pre-pregnancy. So glad I saved them. Hahahaaaa  ;D

that's great that you're able to still wear the same size.    you look great in the jeans.  ;)   usually after women have kids, they tend to gain weight and it's so hard to take it off.   :'(

i know what you mean about outfits being boring during the week.....i'm usually in suits and that is very boring.  hehehe....   :P

Checkered shirt JCP, cardigan NY&Co, black slacks Talbots, belt Jcrew (I know I know..I wear this belt alot..ahhaha)... I know my pants look kinda saggy. I loss a bit of weight in the thigh area.... Urgh, might have to retire these. But I love the pants!

anemone, i like how you mixed different patterns and textures here.  i also like the pop of pink peeking through.....it's subtle yet bright at the same time.   ;)

I don't think I've ever seen your hair up like that.  I like it or at least from what I can see.  Is this a bun or ponytail?  It totally goes with your outfit.   ;)

anemone, cute outfit.  what type of necklace is that?  looks similar to something i have.  also, are the pants jeans or pants?  i've always wanted to get different colored jeans/pants other than the usual black/blue/tan/white but don't know if i'd get plenty of use from it.  :-\  i do like seeing it on other people though.   :)

Anemone... I like both outfits... but I think with the bottom one... with the black and the blue being so close in coloring... maybe adding a pop of color with a skinny belt?  Or a scarf?  As it is... makes you look a bit top heavy.

Yeah, that is the thing about puffer-ish anything... that's why a pop of color in strategic places can make a big difference.


In person, it probably looks ok though.

Post by: tRouBLe on February 15, 2013, 02:12:38 PM
Nice, ladies. I love the colors!   O0

thanks, tuesdaysgirl.

It's a chunkier pearl type - I'll try to snap a closer picture next time I wear it.

The green pants are slacks. They are actually ankle fit pants but since I'm so short, it's a perfect length for me.  ;D I'm with you...I'm very black with pants so I'm trying to step a bit outside my comfort zone. I think you would look great with a pair of colored jeans/pants. You've got long legs and those are perfect for a colored skinny jean!  O0

Trouble, what purse are you carrying in the photo with the Burberry scarf? Love it!Is it a Coach?

my necklace is a bunch of pearls together too making it look chunky.  if your's was from AT then we probably have the same one.  hehehe.   ;)

i'd like to try different colored skinny jeans/pants but i don't know......   :-\

the purse is a D&B dillen II satchel.  it's my go to purse nowadays.   O0

This was yesterday's OOTD.

Cream top H&M, charcoal cardigan F21, black pants Talbots.

And today is causual Friday here at work so I'm keeping it casual!

Black top H&M, navy blue sweater JcPenney (Liz Clairborne petite), jeans JCP

anemone, yesterday's oufit, is the cream lace top long or short sleeves?  i would of loved to see the whole top.  i've been looking at lace tops or cream/tan colored tops lately....espe cially the cream/tan tops since they go with everything and you can dress them up or down.   :)

i think your outfit today is fine since it's casual day.  i admit, i dress like that sometimes too, more for comfort.  your booties (?) and the color of it makes the outfit look a little less casual.   O0

luv it  O0

thanks, moscato.  you should contribute if you have time.  i love seeing other people's outfits, whether they're men or women.  it can be inspirational.   ;)

Trouble....... ..have you sew any scarf the infinity way?  I'm thinking of trying to sew one but still need more tutoring from youtube videos. 

Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: tRouBLe on February 15, 2013, 07:54:41 PM
Hi, Summerberry.  I've thought of sewing one and have looked at tutorials but in the end, decided not to since I like the option of tying my scarves to make it like the infinity scarf or just wrapping it around my neck in different styles.

cottonandcurls .blogspot.com gives some great ideas on how to make different infinity (eternity/snood) scarves.  She's pretty detailed and instructions are simple to follow.  If you should have any other questions, just ask.   ;)

By the way, if you haven't seen wendyslookbook 25 ways to wear a scarf youtube video, you should check it out.  I always refer to that when I want to tie my scarves differently.

No, we never know what the other person is wearing.   We have some of the same suits too but fortunately, we haven't worn them on the same day YET.  Hehehe.

It is nice to work with each other.  The only downside to that is all we talk about is work now.   ;D

Trouble....... you sure can pull 2 piece pant suit. 

Anemore....... . I check out JCP last night in their petite and tried some of their slack/pant in petite 2 but still too big and a little longer.  I give up on JCP.  You seem to score good clothes from JCP while here there is only a small section with nothing I can find in petite that fit well.  Maybe this weekend when I'm down in southern CA I will check out the JCP and finally LE, Express, etc.  store we don't have here.

All I need to find is 2-3 perfect slim fit pant/slack.  I think the hardest is still finding shoes because it what I need to complete any outfit I wear........ I hate my small feet.......

Reload Wife:  Love the red bird print dress, but not so much the scarf with the outfit.  With the blazer and scarf it seemed a bit too much.

Anemone:  Your casual day is far better than my regular days.  I like how you add color to your outfit.  I too wore mustard and cream earlier this week.

Trouble:  I agree with the others, you wear a suit well.

All I need to find is 2-3 perfect slim fit pant/slack.  I think the hardest is still finding shoes because it what I need to complete any outfit I wear........ I hate my small feet.......

ann taylor has some great slim fit slacks for petites.  i know that they are on sale now.  sometimes they will have an additional 40%-50% off their sales.  you should check them out.

I don't post because i have boring outfits. haha I'm just here to observe.

believe me, our outfits are boring too.  all it is are suits monday thru thursday.  *sigh*  that's why i don't normally post them.  hehehe.  you should contribute if you have time.  ;)

Where are all the posters? I feel like I'm the only one sharing. It's getting boring with just my outfits.

Well..this was Wednesday's OOTD.

Black blouse Old Navy, grey cardigan NY&Co, black pants Loft.

don't feel that way.  i like looking at other's outfits.  you may think your outfits are boring but i may not.   :P

for this outfit, i like how your belt brightens and how the cardigan brings a different texture to it.   O0

Ummm...hello! It's not like I'm a fashionable person! I'm just trying to make it thru the day!  ;D You see my outfits, it's nothing special.

You should share.

What are you talking about. You always look put together regardless of what you wear. dressy or casual. You should see me when I dress casual. I have not sense of style.
I don't post because i have boring outfits. haha I'm just here to observe.

Asdfghjkl - My outfit are pretty boring too. I'm definitely not a fashionista. I post my outfit to get input. Some time my outfit are good and some time they turn out blah. Please do share.

Anemone,


I am beginning to see that now too.  Sometimes the clothes looks really good until we take a picture of it.  Rachel Zoe, celebrity stylist, says that the mirror and our eyes can lie, but the camera always tell the truth.  When I was packing for my cali trip, I did realize that as well... that something might look really good, but once I take a pic of it, I realized that this or that does not work.

Summerberry, if you can get to a Loft, go there. I think their pants will definitely fit you. It may be a little long but you can always have it hemmed too. Just find a good tailor! My alteration lady does pretty good so whenever I'm shopping for pants, I don't care too much about the length if I can get it hemmed, as long as fit is good.

Express isn't too petite friendly. I find at their cut is on the larger side so in that store I'm a small, whereas I'm a medium elsewhere. Loft and Ann Taylor will have classic slim pants that fit what you're looking for.

Over the weekend in southern CA was able to go to the mall for a few hours but came empty hand.  I don't about Loft store will have to look it up.  As for Express and Gap.  Their pant in petite size look good but too expensive so I didn't bother trying it on to see f it fit or not.  I had my 10 months old baby with me but it was my daughter and sister who took forever to wait and find.... 

I will continued to check online if they have any sale because I do like the look of the pant.  I might have to go shopping at the outlet center this weekend.

Post by: LadyLionness on March 07, 2013, 02:50:40 AM
Summerberry,


You should always try them on... so that you know which ones you like, color, style, etc... that way it would be easier to order online.  Otherwise you will be guessing.  Sometimes, colors can look right or wrong on us too... depending on the cut and style.

I can't pull of colors so I just stick with gray, black or darker tone color of brown, purple, green and blue. 

There is really no place to go shopping where I am so its either online or driving an hour north/south to a bigger mall.  Clothes is really not a problem to me but finding shoes because I have small feet and without a pair of shoes then........

Thursday's OOTD

Black blouse Old Navy, black blazer/jacket H&M, green pants Target

Too bad the lighting isn't better,  I would have liked to see the contrasting green/black colors of your outfit or is it because your slacks are a darker green?  The lighting in our restrooms aren't that great neither.

anemone, i don't think your outfits are boring at all.  i like all the cardigans you wear because i'm a cardi girl myself.  in addition, you always add something interesting to your outfits.....li ke for this, the design on your cardi and your pink belt, which gives it a feminine touch.

we work in finance.  i'm the only female in my dept with older men and she always dresses that way because of her profession.

You ladies are so inspiring.  Trouble, you make me want to start wearing suits again... lolz.

if it is appropriate or can be appropriate for your workplace then you should.   ;)  i feel that the way you dress represents who you are and how you are.  sometimes people's perception of you is based on how you dress as well.  also, i always feel better when i look good.   ;D

The black dress cames with a thin brown belt. Just a pretty casual black dress.

Love the casual looks Trouble!  O0

i see.  that's nice cause it accentuates a woman's waist and proportions out her body, especially when it's a different color.    O0  i haven't been to target in a while, might have to check it out.   ;)

Monday, I went to the zoo with my daughter and finalists from the WISH showcase contests.  We weren't sure what the weather was going to be like, so we packed two rain coats and dressed layers.  Thankfully, we did not have to use the raincoats.
 

1.  Sapphire skinny jeans from JC Pennys
2.  Joe Boxer tank dress
3.  Born red sandals
4.  Hmong shrug - bought from Singer Cha Mee Xiong... if you are interested let me know and I can get you in contact with her.
5.  Kenneth Cole Orange Red leather jacket

I have been searching for a long time for a royal blue leather jacket.  There have been a lot of vegan or faux leather ones in the color I want, but I don't like those.  And of the ones that I found in leather, they were too expensive.


This one is perfect.  I love it so much.  The color is even better than I had imagined, the fit is perfect, the leather feels beautiful. 

1.  Blue leather jacket - 1020 by Nicole
2.  Dress - Chaps by Ralph Lauren
3.  Blue leather heel sandals l - BORN (yes, I know... I own almost every color of this shoes... two pairs of black ones... hahaha)
4.  Hmong skirt Purse
5.  Hmong cross-stitch crossbody purse
6.  White opal jewelry set
7.  Green opal jewelry set
8.  Blue opal jewelry set
9.  Two diamond bracelets
10. Hugs & Kisses gold bracelets
11. Emerald bracelet
12. Ruby bracelet
13. Hmong 24K gold bracelet

Trouble: I wanna be your sister, so I can raid your closet!  ;D I love how you accessorize. I'm really scared to accessorize because I'm afraid of looking too busy....plus it's not very sensible for my job. But it does elevate the outfit in so many ways. Are you looking for a sister?  ;)


We all want to be Trouble's sister.

That's what I was referring to.....when you do dress up.   ;)   As I recollect, your facial structure, build, and hair is similar.  If you're referring to growing older, that's happened to all of us.   ;D    :D

You have a good point.. I suppose everything's the same except more wrinkles.  ;D Well, if I share more it'll just be the scrubby look: jeans and tees.

So I was correct, you haven't changed that much.   ;D   And it's fine if it's jeans/tees.  After all, this thread is about what you are wearing, so you should share more if you're comfortable with it.   :)

Trouble and Trouble,

What do you think of this?

- Don't go strapless. I think that no matter how casual your office, if you work in an actual office building, it's not acceptable to wear a strapless dress or top. Go sleeveless - but the smallest I would go is a thick strap like in today's shirt.[/size]- Don't go short. No matter how casual things are, I think it's best to keep things 2-3 inches above your knees, at the most. Shorts may be in style, but I wouldn't wear them to work unless they follow this rule, so most likely you'll need to go with a bermuda-style short.- Pass on sleepwear. When it comes to sweatpants and hoodies - leave 'em at home. I think a v-neck t-shirt can be great for work, but I would tuck it into a pencil skirt, or dress it up with a statement necklace. I also think you can incorporate a sweater with a hood into your outfit, but again it should be dressed up with a collared shirt or another appropriate work piece. Overall, don't go so casual that you might be mistaken for 1. not caring about your job, or 2. that you are sleeping on the job!- Get creative. Today's look is an example of how you can stay within these "modesty" guidelines, but still have fun! If you work in a creative environment, you can wear jeans, and fun details like a leopard shirt or spiked shoes. Don't feel like you have to give up on style and flare altogether. You should feel free to show plenty of personality, just keep it classy! ;-)[/color]

Pinkie, if you are unsure... try using it as you would any suit jacket.  I find that they are best with one or two other "office appropriate" pieces.  My preferences is sheath dresses or pencil skirt.  The key is that leather jacket are more "boxy" even when fitted, so the bottom have to be more slim... like the slacks you are wearing.  When in doubt, do black slacks with black undershirt and then throw the leather jacket on.  The fit and styling have to be right though. 

Don't wear anything too obviously biker... or too 80's (batwing sleeves, big shoulder pads, etc).  Get something more slim, fitted, so that it's more modern... and make sure it's not too long, should not be longer than your hip bone or just below it.  For us short ladies... nothing longer than 22 inches in back seam... sometimes 23 are ok... depending on the styling.

What a person wears is dependent upon where they work.  I agree with some of the things stated only if they were worn alone.  For example, wearing a strapless top/dress/cami is fine IF it's covered up with a blazer or sweater, but not by itself.  I don't see a problem with wearing sweatshirts (depending on what it looks like and how casual it is) or jeans on casual days, but never sweatpants.  I agree with the t-shirts, shorts, and skirt/dress length suggestions.  A woman can still look nice, sophisticated, and professional without giving up on their own personal style.

LL, I would like to hear your thoughts on this as well.   ;)

I have a white one that I think MIGHT be appropriate under and trench or maybe even a blazer, jacket, etc.... for sure not by itself... but I have read somewhere that ONE should NEVER EVER wear lace to work... especially in a conservative office... and my new work place is.. infact, they have a business casual dress policy, but it's written in such a way that you know they did it b/c they had too... and they state explicitly that they still prefer the traditional suit.

Mine is not this one, but very similar... the piping are not a different color like this, but it's actually white ribbed ribbons... so it's very solid.

1. Liz Claiborne straight leg jeans (I learned from other Pebhmong fashionista that leg jeans gives the "fit" of a skinny jean without being body hugging...
 2. Jennifer Lopez snake print blouse from Kohls...
 3. Now, this trench coat... love love love love... when I first saw it, it was in oat meal color... and selling for $160. I was not willing to pay that amount especially on ebay... so I waited... and tried to negotiable it down to $80... didn't work...
4. Ugg ankle boots... these are 6 inches high and I wore them all day... it's very comfortable for that height... first shoe (that is not BORN) that did not kill my feet.
 
 

Here is the inspiration picture:
(http://i.imgur.com/L2iTrMJ.jpg)

So, a couple of things... ONE, I never did understand the obsession with UGGs... until I tried one on recently... those ugly flat ones. It's like walking on air. So when I saw these ankle boots, I tried them on and they were really comfy... love them... only second to my born shoes... lol.
 
 As for the outfit, I have these white jeans that I wanted to incorporate into my work wardrobe... since it's business to business casual (if you must), I had to make them NOT look like jeans... so I googled some idea... and this is what I came up with.

Pinkie,

I am only 4' 10 ".  The key is having it hit slightly above the knees or higher... some of my trench that were too long, I had to have altered else it makes the whole outfit look dowdy.

LL, since your new employment is business casual, you may be able to get away with wearing a lace dress but you'll have to tone it down with a blazer or sweater and accessories.  Also, look at what your co-workers are wearing, this can give you an idea of whether to wear something like that or not.

I've seen some of J's Everyday Fashion.  I don't agree with everything she says or wears but if she is comfortable in her own skin, that's all that matters.

Trouble, love love those black tall riding boots!

Thanks, PinkiePie.   :)

Troubles (and anyone else):

For a conservative corporate office, is this dress too trendy?  It's uneven hem, with the part at the raised knee a little higher up... about 2 inches above the knees.  If I wear it like this, would it be office appropriate?  Or too much of a cocktail dress?

LL, you might be able to get away with it if you wear a blazer/sweater on top and black tights/pantyhose with it like how you have in your pic.  I've never worn high-low side-to-side dresses/skirts for work before but I have worn the high-low back-to-front skirt suits.  You can still dress trendy and look conservative, it just depends on what the clothing item is and how you wear it.   :)

hello LL, yes, i agree with the other trouble that if the dress is worn with a suit blazer jacket it will keep the look professional; a statement necklace will help finish the look if you're going to be all in black.   :)

Here's my outfit for the day.  I was originally going to wear it with a black blazer, but choose to go with this instead... thanks to some well said advice from a good friend.

1.  Tahari Shealth dress - there are a few designers making these color block dresses, but I like this one best b/c this is the only one I see so far that have a V-neck instead of boat neck... and the black goes all around the back, so the grey is only in the front.  I would say that this is probably my sexiest power suit... lolz.

2.  Michael Kors Gold Shimmer blazer


3.  Kohls sheer black to purple tights


4.  Born heels in the picture, but I actually wore my Black Born Oxford instead.  The dress was too sexy and I wanted to balance it a bit more.


5.  Tiger Eye necklace (tri-color) and earrings.

What brand is it?  I have been trying to find one with a lower top like this one... and yes, comfortable too.

I know how you feel about the leopard print, but I think that in a sweater like that, it's perfect.  I do like the play of soft and hard... and then wild and sweet and innocent.  You got everything going on in this outfit, but still so soft and subtle.  I wonder if the guys will get it too?  Lol... or is it just us women who analyze everything like this?

Those shoes are nice! I've had my pair for over 2 years and it's great! They are very durable and so comfortable! Literally my favorite pair... I wear them with everything.  ;D I would say you should also get the polish from Allen Edmond too, it really makes a difference.  It's a good investment and probably the best shoes I've ever owned~   

I'm sure your s/o will be thrilled!

Chicknorris and Pinkie, I have learned that if we wait until we have the perfect body and everything to take pictures, that day will never come... and if we wait until we have lost some weight to wear that pretty dress, it will never happen too... so embrace the shape you are in and dress your best.

Yes, we do all have different body types and different styles... and they are all lovely.  I love this thread too.  I hope more people contribute... even if not with pictures, at least with a list of what they are wearing...

Happy Thursday!

It's kinda casual today. I was lazy this morning so didn't want to spend too much time finding something to wear.

Black/white printed blouse, JCP. Blue sweater, JCP. Black slacks, Loft. Heels, Zara.

(http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/burberry78/2fbb4805-8800-49d4-bb93-8583b1d807ee_zps9a2416d6.jpg) (http://s379.photobucket.com/user/burberry78/media/2fbb4805-8800-49d4-bb93-8583b1d807ee_zps9a2416d6.jpg.html)

I just got these black slacks I'm wearing from Loft. I ordered them online during a 40% off sale a few days ago. However, it's 50% off now, so if anyone is looking for pair of clean, black slacks...I totally recommend these. I'm wearing the Zoe Ankle Pants in size 4 Petite. The inseam is 27", so if you're a short gal like me, it'll be perfect and hits the ankle. I find that these types of pants fit me better than a full leg or boot cut type of leg.

(http://richmedia.channeladvisor.com/ImageDelivery/imageService?profileId=52000653&id=264349&recipeId=160)

How tall are you? I'm a short asss so the ankle pants are full length pants on me.  :P  Doesn't look good on my chicken legs. Sometimes petite clothing look too pog laus depending on the store. . Have you worn old navy petite? They carry petite online only though. I didn't want the risk of ordering online and the hassle of sending it back if I didn't fit well.
Oh yea I really wanted that shoe in that picture from loft but they don't have my size. Boo!  >:(

Pinkie, I really like that blue dress too.  I have 3 of this dress... one blue and two purple ones.  They were on sale for $8 a piece at Kohls, marked down from $90 each... so it was a great deal.  Unfortunately, I only packed one...hehehe.  So, when I go home for Thanksgiving, I will be bringing the other two as well.

to Pinkie and the Backfdead...

I agree on the "fashion" should not cost a fortune idea.  I love finding bargains and deals.  I do enjoy shopping thrift stores too, especially for blazers... $5 for a blazer... doesn't matter if it originally cost $20 or $500, they simply sell it for $5.

To say that I am a strange creature is an understatement ... lol. In any case, I keep a neutral, go with anything, black blazer at work... just in case I have an important meeting and I may not have on the appropriate jacket that day. Well, it's a good thing that I did. I wore the olive green leather jacket to work today and loved how it look. Maybe the mirror lied though, b/c I could swear that it looked a lot nicer to my naked eyes...


I digress, but my co-worker sent me a meeting invite to an important meeting of all the Project Managers in the company... all the big shots... and I love my leather jackets, but not everyone see them in the same light... so for the meeting... I changed into the black blazer. Although it looked a little bit less hip... I think I made the right choice. Yay or nay?


Marc Anthony olive green leather jacket (love this jacket, one of ... if not the most expensive jacket I paid for... $160... it's a $500 jacket). Love this little blouse... got it from Sears... for around $5. Pants are the Limited Cassidy cut, less than $15. Shoes are my pink BORN heels. The black blazer is from Sears, less than $20.

Trouble (Left):  I did a double take... almost looked as though you had on the same outfit.  I love how you play with the inside shirt... love all your choices...

 :2funny:  Thanks.  I have a lot of suits and many of them are dark-colored, so I have to devise ways of making them look different whether it be by colors, styles, textures of tops, or even accessorizing.   ;D

On a serious note though, I like posting because if anything I hope it inspires other readers (who may not post) to take a look at their own personal style and wardrobe. By no means am I a fashionable gal or claim to be an expert. I just like clothes and I like to share what I'm wearing!  ;D

I've always been a believer that one doesn't have to spend a ton of money or buy brand name clothes in order to look good. Nor does 'dressing up' mean, dressing up in your Sunday best. Dressing up to me means looking polish, not sloppy. It's about finding clothes that fit and finding your style and making it work for you. Trust me, I have certain parts of my body that I hate. But I've learned how to dress for it. I think it's pretty cool that each one of us who post regularly (you, trouble, myself) have different body styles, therefore maybe someone reading can take a note a two and make it work for them.

I totally agree with you on this.  Looking at different personal styles can help a person learn and be inspired to dress for their body type and try new clothing/accessory pieces that they may not have thought of trying.   ;D


I wanted to say thanks to all the ladies and gents for sharing.  Keep them coming.   ;)

2.  Black Shel Laundry dress
3.  Born black oxford
4.  Black tights

LL, great pairings.  O0   It looks nice with either dresses but I prefer the blue one over the black.  The blue dress generates color along with a different texture and dimension..... ..but if you were going for a more reserve and conservative look, the black dress would be the choice.   ;)

It's casual dress today since it's a short work week.

Black blouse, Target. Black/white zip cardigan jacket, Ann Taylor. Jeans, Loft.

This is the sweater I'm wearing from Ann Taylor. Got it a few weeks ago during a 50% off sale. Originally $129, on sale $109, it was additional 50% off plus I had another coupon code I layered on and I got it for $37. Ann Taylor is currently having an 50% off sale items now.

Trouble,

I do like how the blue dress takes it in a total different direction and while it's not as conservative, b/c of the business casual dress code, I think it still works. 

Pinkie,

I have a ton of belts, but they always seem to make the outfit look overly sexy and until I met Paula Yang, I was afraid of my sexuality... lol... at least afraid to embrace it.  She have convinced me that it's ok to embrace your sensuality and BE a woman... lol.  Anyway, I am still TOO conservative in her eyes, but she have been a good influence on me.

Today's outfit.  Bought a new camera, so I am not sure WHEN I will learn to use it and take pix.




1.  Ann Taylor black A-Line dress.
2.  Sears Tuxedo blazer.
3.  Grey Hmong-Inspired Scarf.
4.  Black tights.
5.  Red Born Mary Jane shoes.
6.  Green glass statement necklace and earrings I bought during lunch.

Will try to post a picture...


1.  Anne Klein color block dress (black and grey).
2.  Kenar camel ruffle trench coat.
3.  Green Hmong Scarf.  These can be bulky looking, making them too casual with suits, and such... so here is what I did to make mine look smaller and less casual... I twist the middle portion - minimizing the bulk - and then wrap it around once, with the twisted part in front and the two ends fluffed and draped.  Then I tuck ONE of the ends through the twisted part and tie it ONCE with the other end. 
4.  Born black sandals.

Photobucket removed my mustache disguise so this will have to do for now until it comes back.  :(

Gray & black today. I have a lot of gray & black in my closet. Decided on these gray pants today because I haven't worn them in a while. I think I prefer the skinny slim fit pants because this type cut of pants make me look short. What do you ladies think? I'd love some feedback.

Black blouse, H&M. Black blazer, H&M. Gray slacks, Express. Black heels, Zara.

Pinkie, I like you in both... they have their own place.  But like you, I also prefer the skinny styles too.  However, I think that the trouser legs are more conservative while the skinny are more casual.  I am waiting to see if other women here wear the pencil pants or not.

1.  The Limited Black Cassidy Pants
2.  Arizona black v-neck shirt.
3.  Ellen Tracy pinstripe black long blazer (this is the last of my blazer that hits below the hip bones.  I no longer wear this style but love it too much to let it go.  Oh, and my interview blazer also hits below the hip bones.)


4.  BORN black heel sandals.
5.  Purple Hmong inspired scarf.  This is actually the least favorite of mine.  I don't really care for this color combo.  I think it's kind of ugly.

SMH,

I used to shy away from skirts and dresses for work... I think that I wanted to minimize the fact that I am a woman in a man's world.  However, after meeting Paula Yang and having to wear a few dresses here b/c I didn't bring enough pants with me... I am really liking the ease of dresses and skirts... and all mine will be at or an inch above or below. 
The "right" sheath dress is so easy to put on... add a jacket, belt (optional - but ultra sexy), heels... and you are out the door.  Don't have to worry if the buttons are gapping, if the shirt matches the pants, etc.

SMH,

In my old age, I am also learning to embrace my femininity.  No matter what, there is no doubt in anyone's mind that we are women and not men... so a confident women who isn't afraid of being a woman is probably going to come across as being stronger than one who is hiding herself.

It's super cold here but I decided to put on a dress today. Thank god for downtown skyways.  :D

This is also one of my favorite 'little black dress'. It's a sleeveless sheath style. I've had it for maybe 11 yrs. Hahaaa...yes, it's old. But I love the classic fit and simplicity of it. I've worn it to a wedding, a funeral, parties, and to work. I purchased it from Banana Republic and have it dry clean. It still looks new!

Added a black cardigan and a orange/red belt today.

Sheath dress, Banana Republic. Cardigan, Gap. Belt, F21. Heels, Zara.

ladies and gents... you all look so lovely. i would participate too but unfortunately my wardrobe is only good for about 5 days... after that i'm pretty much recycling the same clothes over... lol!

That because you don't mix and match your clothing before recycling.  :knuppel2: :knuppel2:

Today is our company Christmas Potluck so I am thinking that all the big boss would be there to put in some time.  While I wanted to be noticed, I don't want to be viewed as more than someone who knows what she is doing and a force to be reckon with.  So while I was trying to find something to wear, I had to discard many options.  Red is a very typical color, so I decided not to wear red.  Leather can be seen as both positive or negative.  So, I turn to my trusty interview jacket and pair it with a pair of black slacks, but I didn't want to be too dark so I decided to go with a bright turquoise shirt.


1.  Ellen Tracy double breasted black with grey variation blazer.
2.  The Limited Cassidy black slacks.
3.  Worthington blue button-down shirt ($2 from JC Penny).
4.  Black born heels.
5.  Blue opal necklace and earrings.
6.  Diamond bracelets.
7.  Rose gold watch.
8.  Emerald wedding ring set.

Gray & black today. I have a lot of gray & black in my closet. Decided on these gray pants today because I haven't worn them in a while. I think I prefer the skinny slim fit pants because this type cut of pants make me look short. What do you ladies think? I'd love some feedback.

Black blouse, H&M. Black blazer, H&M. Gray slacks, Express. Black heels, Zara.

PP, the variety of styles of pants that you've posted all look fine.  The only difference is the way it looks on you.  I've included a couple of your other pics so that you can compare and see what I'm talking about.  In the first pic, that style and length elongates your legs and you do look taller.  The second and third pics will show you how the lengths of the pants can assist in making you look taller/shorter.  Since the length of the pants in the second pic is a bit longer than the third one, this elongates your legs or makes you look taller in the second pic as compared to the one in the third.  They all look nice but it's up to a person's preference and how comfortable they are in what they're wearing.  Hope this helps in your question.   :)

I totally see what you're saying. Thank you for doing these side by side! Sometimes it takes another pair of eyes to help us make better fashion decisions.  ;D

I do feel most comfortable in the skinny pants because it's more casual and I can just wear it with flats. With the full leg pants, I always have to wear it with heels and it always feels more 'dressed up'.

You're welcome, PP.   ;)

You're always scoring nice boots, heels, etc.  I have small feet and hate it for a reason because it's the only thing preventing me from dressing up.  I've been looking for boots online for days and still can't find one that will fit fine.  I'm willing to spend $100 and under for a pair but if I can't tried it first then I don't want to be disappointed when ordering online either.  Size 4 is better fit for me but 5 will work only for riding boots.  I like your style and co one but not sure about ordering one similar because the shaft or calves area is where I'm more concerned.

Pinkie,

That leather jacket looks great on you.  It is ox blood color?  I have been thinking that I might get a leather jacket in that color too.  Haven't quite decided yet.  I am thinking about a Navy blue one too.


Try it with dresses too... and skirts too.  I am thinking that I really love the look of leather jackets with pencil skirts.  It's sexy, but contained.

LOL!!!  I am with Petro.  I don't have a lot of clothes.  Most of my clothes are jeans and solid colored shirts.  I used to look so scruffy.  Wait, I still look that way.   ;D  Anyway, I was given a lot of dirty looks at work... so that forced me to evaluate my wardrobe more.  I bought two pencil skirts and some blouses.  Now people see me and they give me all sorts of compliments.  Like, "Are you applying for a job?"  "Why are you so dressed up?!"  "Gee, you look nice today."  I guess they are all giving me hints that I looked gross before and for me to continue dressing up.   LOL.  But hey, when you work in IT, trust me, you do not want to be crawling under people's desks in a suit.  It's very uncomfortable and you ruin your clothes.   :P

Sunday:


I have been wanting to wear one of my Hmong Jackets to work, but wasn't sure how it would hold up - professional-wise.  So I tried it for church.  Verdict:  No can do.  Keep looking.  Will try to snap a picture once I have my camera figured out.


1.  Black Sweater Dress from Sears.
2.  Hmong purplish jacket.
3.  The Limited brown with lace edgying tank... the sweater was a bit low cut and the neckline tend to "wander."
4.  Born black shoes.

Bought this really cute Antonio Melani skirt from Goodwill.  It was brand-new with tags and I got it for $4.  It has a sexy little bow in the back of the "walking slit."


1.  Antonio Melani skirt - $4
2.  JC Penny Worthington black short sleeve button down shirt - $2 (brand new).  Love JC Penny's clearance rack.
3.  Wilson red leather blazer - $30 (I actually have on a my Kenneth Cole moto red leather jacket this morning, but then I forgot my wallet at home and needed to go back and get it so that I could pay for parking.  Having a meeting this afternoon, so I decided to change out the moto jacket since it was not quite as professional looking and I have decided that as much as I love this jacket, it won't work in a professional environment.  I love these Wilson Leather jackets.  I own this jacket in every color they have made:  Red, yellow (my first one), blue, olive green, and orange.
4.  Born Red Mary Jane pump - $40.  I actually had on my black born heels, but decided to change shoes as well. Lolz.
5.  Ruby briolet drop earrings - $50.  Saw a similar one at TJ Maxx a few weeks ago in gold for $150.

Fortunately for us, we have one of the most common sizes for women.  The only problem we run into is that it will usually sell out if it's a nice style.   :-\   The Style & Co riding boot is more narrow towards the top.  I, too, will run into that problem where the circumference is larger and I don't like the gap between my calves and the boot.....or the circumference is fine but it is roomy at my ankles.  I prefer going into the stores instead of ordering online.  At least I can try them on and see how the fit is.  Good luck on your boot search.   :)

I like JCrew store but haven't seen one in Central Valley mall but still remember them in southern CA.  I've been cleaning out my closet and getting rid of old clothes and buying new one but just have no room to put them away since my husband took up all the space like crazy.

This weekend I'll go shopping out of town since I haven't got a chance to do anything since the passing of my mil.  I purchased a boots from Targrpet the Kerry style but return it after trying out a few outfits is the shaft is a little too big.  It look better on my daughter but on me feeling not right.

I realized something in the last few days... just like challenges in life helps us to stretch and grow, I believe that fashion challenges also help us grow.

In my last job, it was extremely casual.  People are in jeans, t-shirt, and gym shoes... some even come in with sandals on.  The first few days, I went in with my usual suit.  After a while, I realized that I needed to learn "how to wear jeans."  This is when I discovered the wonders of Google Image.  Needless to day, it was a hard journey, but I learned to wear jeans and even fell in love with skinny jeans.  Even then folks thought I was still too dressed up b/c I always pair my jeans with a blazer of some sort or at least a dressy shirt.
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: LadyLionness on December 11, 2013, 10:42:04 AM
With this new company, its business/ business casual... with the preference being business.  So, I now have to learn how to dress corporate.  It's been fun and I think I have learned a lot.  The biggest lesson in being "how well" something fit.  In the past, where dressing up was not required, any jackets would do... I have gotten away with wearing ill-fitting jackets.  But since I have to stretch and grow, I am seeing that some of my clothes do not fit right and that as much as I love a certain jacket, there is just no way to make it work for corporate america.


So, how have you been challenged and have you grown fashion-wise?

Summer, I believe Fresno has a J.Crew so check it out next time you are in that area. The size run a bit big so you'll probably be an XXXS.  ;D

I don't shop in Fresno because it's too far and not closed to area where my relatives are where I can just leave for a while and then be back.  I just shop at Modesto mall where it's near the fwy and on my own time.

I used to have no problem shopping at JCrew, gap, limited and New York and co. But lately they don't have my size so either order from their website because regular or petite can fit depending when I tried them on.

Summerberry, once you know your size and the styles that work on your body, ordering from your favorite brands or brands that you have worn is really not all that risky.  Ordering online is usually cheaper and have more variety anyway.

I buy most of my clothes on line.
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: LadyLionness on December 11, 2013, 11:15:50 AM
I do see that, Pinkie.  I noticed that you do buy "expensive" clothes.  I put it in quotations b/c I know that you buy them on sale, but even the sale prices are more than I am willing to pay.  Hahaha...

No, your style is not boring at all.  I find it very refreshing b/c while it's conservative, it also have elements of fun in it.

My sisters and friends say the same thing about me too... that I only buy name brands.  But with post baby-bodies, I feel that the mid to the higher end brands have better materials and seems to fit better.  Plus, if I buy something I would like it to last a long time b/c I DO like the color and shape.  I find that cheaper brands such as Forever 21, Mango, H&M and designers who designed for Kohls and Targets... don't hold up as well, the seems aren't as good, the cuts don't fit quite right and the materials are usually way too stiff or way too thin and it shows everything.

My sisters and friends say the same thing about me too... that I only buy name brands.  But with post baby-bodies, I feel that the mid to the higher end brands have better materials and seems to fit better.  Plus, if I buy something I would like it to last a long time b/c I DO like the color and shape.  I find that cheaper brands such as Forever 21, Mango, H&M and designers who designed for Kohls and Targets... don't hold up as well, the seems aren't as good, the cuts don't fit quite right and the materials are usually way too stiff or way too thin and it shows everything.

I agree I like better name brand for clothing so finding it on clearance rack or when they have sale then I do grab it.  I wear more of H&M compare to Forever21 which I never find appealing but for someone like my daughter then I can see the hype on those clothes and styles.  I tried to stay away from junior clothing too especially when it come to jeans and pants.  I'm starting to find petite or regular length will fit me perfectly if I take the time to look at brand name and get use to their size.  Shoes is still my main problem because without it I can't dress up......

Omg so true. I've tried on some of Target's dresses and F21's clothes and they fit so weird. It doesn't feel like it's even cut and made right. But I guess that's fashion for them.

Missterious,


There's a couple of things that comes into play on those clothing... they look great on people who have never had kids before and even though they are a little bit heavy, their fat are solid and firm... (too much info, I know... lol)  MEN:  Close your eyes. 


Sadly, some people don't realize this and buy the clothing anyway, as long as they can squeeze into it b/c they feel like that is the style.  Unfortunately, clothing that does not conform to the right body parts do no service for you.  They actually end up making you look bloated and fat and oddly shape.  With the right clothes, you have curves in all the right places.


And walmart clothes... wash it a few times and they are stretch out of shape so badly it's hardly recognizable as clothing.  B/c I shop clearance, most of my clothes cost around the same as Walmarts or even less... and for me, I see no reason to buy something that I can only wear a few times before it becomes useless.  (I don't like clothing that "looked worn-out."


By the way, you are gorgeous... and no longer missterious... lol.  Share with us sometimes... even if it is just listing what you have on each day.

Top coat is BR, wool sweater is BR, vintage white button down is JCrew, jean is GAP, red argyle socks is JCrew, suede shoe is JCrew, and a brown vintage belt by JCrew (which isn't shown ;D).




Completely off topic, but what are you using to prop your clothes up? Do you actually have a mannequin at home?  ;D

Today is sorta my casual Friday since I'm going to work from home tomorrow.

Coral sweater, Joe Fresh. Blue chambray shirt, JCP. Black slacks, Gap. Heels, Zara. Black leopard belt, F21. Ooopss, and messy hair....


(http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/burberry78/9da9fca3-7b9e-4078-a4aa-010267055caf_zpseddfbe63.jpg) (http://s379.photobucket.com/user/burberry78/media/9da9fca3-7b9e-4078-a4aa-010267055caf_zpseddfbe63.jpg.html)

Are your black slack from Gap just the slim cropped style?  I love it and they fit perfectly.  I just got back from the mall exchanging my black pant from size 0R to 00R and lucky they had a pair at the store otherwise online cost $5 more and I got mine for 40%.  I want to stock up a few more but we'll see if I can find any this weekend in Fresno since I have to do some shopping to,get supplies for my daughter potluck with her cheer squad.

I didn't have much time to shop at the mall this morning but really did want to look into their jeans because of the size 24s to get an idea if they fit or not vs. ordering petite from their website.

Summer, the ones I'm wearing are the skinny ankle fit. I bought them last spring but Gap always carries them from season to season. I like Gap pants, they've always held up pretty well for me and go on sale often. Glad you found a good fit for you!

I can't get enough of slim black pants. I have like maybe 10+ pairs because I wear them so much. Gap and Loft are definitely my favorite for basic black skinny pants.



I guess if I want to tried their jeans and other pants then I need to order them online in size petite 00 and see how it fit since they never have them in the store unless it's return or exchange.  Their regular length pant are only 2 inches long on me.  I always have my kids with me when shopping so it make it more difficult to spend more time in each store and always rushing.  I know you wear a lot of clothes from Loft a store I'm not familiar with at all.

I'm going to check out the directory store online at Fresno Mall to see what store they got but I'm not really a mall person anymore and hate roaming it like back in my days when I wasn't married yet.  I like to just park, get in, get out and head home.

Shopping with kids is like not shopping at all. Lol It's more like babysitting the kids while they run around the store. Our 21 month old is so naughty now at the store. She used be so good and just sit in the cart or stroller but now she wants to get out of the cart and run around. It's so cute but it also means no real shopping.

I think there is a Loft in Fresno Fashion Fair and there is one at the Riverpark shops also in Fresno. I recently went there but got nothing. I'm tired of shopping now too. Tired of taking off and on my clothes trying stuff on.

Ok I know these pants make me look fat.  :P They're from F21 a few years back.
Sheer blouse from Kohls and I'm just wearing a basic black tank top underneath.
Slouch boots were from Sears a few years ago but I don't like them no more. They're going to goodwill.
And like Petro I usually recycle.

Pinkiepie is a fashion narcissist.

Petro is a cool homie. He's here to share/look just like the girls. Anybody who shops at Costco is cool in my books because it's my go to store for food.

Well, as I looked back at photos taken 6/ 7 years ago that I didn't like and wanted to lose some weight before scheduling more family photo sessions... well... now... they don't look so bad.  I like them... lol.  From that I realized one thing... from this moment on... we will ONLY keep on getting older and more out of shape... when we are 60 and 70, we will look back now and see how beautiful we are.

Yes... a top coat is a must for every man's wardrobe. If you like wearing suits (which I don't unless it's a necessary) then top coat is the best outerwear to drape over it. Top coat can go do wrong if you mix and match it with formal or informal wear. :)

Talking about Italian designer, there is one that I really like.  I am not sure if he designed for men as well as women but he is not very well known yet, so you can still find his stuff online for a good price.  He was a soccer player-turned-designer... Nicola Berti.  Love his stuff.  High quality, well, made, and great materials.

First of all, you are not fat.  ::)  We all have real bodies here. I think you look really good!

I like this look, totally something I can see myself in. Simple and casual.

I love this look! The blazer and jean looks good on you missterious.

You must be from Cali because that thin scarf would not keep us Minnesotans warm.  ;D

You should also add scarf into your wardrobe, not big bulky winter scarves but the thin, fashionable ones. Sometimes all it takes is a scarf to really dress it up or make an outfit.


Lol Yes I'm from Cali. I only wear the scarf around the house usually. I need to stock up on accessories. But since I don't really go out anymore or have a fancy job I have nothing to dress up for. Except myself maybe.

Happy snowy Monday here!

I've always liked the color olive green, it goes well with almost everything. And I especially like it paired with gold jewelry. I usually don't like wearing a lot of gold jewelry without feeling 'flashy' but since the outfit itself is so simple...why not....Wearing today.....

Olive green blouse, Limited. Black slacks, Banana Republic. Heels, Zara. Rose gold watch, Guess. Gold necklace and bracelet, Jcrew.

With this new company, its business/ business casual... with the preference being business.  So, I now have to learn how to dress corporate.  It's been fun and I think I have learned a lot.  The biggest lesson in being "how well" something fit.  In the past, where dressing up was not required, any jackets would do... I have gotten away with wearing ill-fitting jackets.  But since I have to stretch and grow, I am seeing that some of my clothes do not fit right and that as much as I love a certain jacket, there is just no way to make it work for corporate america.

So, how have you been challenged and have you grown fashion-wise?

My fashion and personal style hasn't changed much, other than when I had graduated from college....... .the transitional period from all casual and comfy to professional and businesslike.  Even though I dress somewhat conservatively, I always try to incorporate something of myself into the clothes that I wear or my appearance.... .whether it be color, texture, accessories, etc.   ;D

LL, I think incorporating a scarf everyday would be simple.  Just have a variety of colors, designs, textures, and sizes.  You have an abundant selection to choose from.

today's wear...
 
kirkland signature italian wool sweater...
 
kirland signature dress shirt...
 
men's wearhouse tie

from a different angle...

dockers grey bottom & rockport black shoes...
 
btw, i'm a fan of grey bottoms and so although it looks like i wear the same pants over and over... which i mostly do, i do have a few different pairs to alternate... ;D

Nice, PG.   O0

Monday - December 16, 2013


1.  Liz Claiborne pencil pants
2.  Simply Vera blue chiffon tank

Tuesday - December 17, 2013


1.  The Limited Drew Cut black trousers.
2.  Anthropology (Sears) Multi-Color pussy-bow blouse
3.  Tahari Black Leather Blazer - Love this jacket.  Needed one that is not so worn out to wear - much like my Dana Buchman one... which is a bit worn out on the sleeve and the front.  While leather jacket's charm are the little worn out edges, when trying to wear them as suit jackets, I think they should be as pristine as possible.
4.  Black Born Heel Sandals (Second pair is fast wearing out... need to look for another one just in case this one goes as well.)

Soo, this past weekend I had a potluck with some girlfriends and wanted to wear something casual and comfy. This is what I wore.

The whole outfit cost me about $75 (including the riding boots). The only expensive item was the jean jacket. Which I didn't regret paying for because I always have a hard time finding a jean jacket that fits right. This one fits RIGHT!

Ah, I love being a woman.  :D

PP, I agree with LL, don't let others discourage you from whom you are or what you normally do.  People are always going to judge and make assumptions no matter what a person does.  Just be yourself and don't let it bother you.  Remember, their words can only affect you if you allow them to.    ;)

A lot of fashion guru recommend that women wear jackets that goes past their tush and hips, in an effort to minimize them... I think even Stacy on what not to wear said it too... but I find that on me and especially on petite women, jackets should not hit lower than your hip bones. 


Trench, I love them... but it's probably why I don't wear my collection too often.... couldn't figure out why, but now I know.  Thanks for pointing that out.

Sunset,

Love your casual outfit.  And I agree with you, when buying a jacket, the right fit is important.  It's okay to pay a little more for them b/c you can wear them with so many different things... and they last for years... vs t-shirt or pants, etc. 

Like you, I buy less expensive basics... love Arizona and Decree V-Neck shirts from JC Penny... for $2 to $3 a piece. 

I spurge on shoes and jackets b/c to me, these are critical.  Shoes for comfort and half-way decent looking (I know, they are not sexiest shoes, but better than wearing gym shoes and they are just as comfy as gym shoes).  Jackets... well... they do so much for me.

Missterious, the form fitting jackets actually create shape and minimize or hide those love handles... just don't button it... and make sure that it's not too long and that there are "princess seaming" in the back and front to create the "nipped in" shape.

That plaid button up shirt underneath only cost me $2 bucks. hehe.

Thank you. We have different body types. I know you can pull off a denim jacket. They have less form fitting one's too. I have a V shaped back and so when looking for a jacket, I usually opt for form fitting to compliment the shape of my body. Anything bigger than that makes me look funny around the waist.  ;D

All I have on are:
- Express trousers
- Pink silk blouse
- Shiny boots

I don't really like it when people comment on my clothes.

Very nice, LL!

Post by: LadyLionness on December 19, 2013, 10:21:14 AM
Lilly, it's probably how it fits you... and it does sound like a nice outfit.  I think pink in general, for women... just elevate it up a bit and makes it slightly more dressy.  More eye-catching, if you will. 

I am also a bit uncomfortable when people compliment like that too.  I don't mind if the compliment is focused on the clothes, such as nice jacket, or love those shoes, etc.

anchor, heels are not comfortable.  ;D

But I do love Zara shoes! If you stick to anything around 3.5" and under they are pretty comfortable. I think most of the ones I have are 3.5" to 3.75". I wear them for work but I sit a lot at work...unless I'm running to meetings. The shoes are true to size.

I love Zara for the free shipping!  O0

lol. Some are more comfortable than others. I thought Zara heels might be since you've been wearing them a lot recently.  ;D

lilly, I would be annoyed too.

For me, I'm most annoyed with the "You're soooo cute!" comments. It's not a bad comment but it's always the way it's stated. I have a co-worker who comments on my wardrobe everyday. It's very sweet of her. But the way she says it is always as if she's speaking to a 2 yr old... "Gosh, you're soooooo cute today!". Or it always reference my height or something, "You're so small and cute".  ::)

Yaaahhh!  I hear you.  It gets annoying and irritating at times.  I guess maybe that's why most days I don't care to dress up coz I don't want to have to face the comments.  Haha.  But yeah, it's annoying when people comment on your height and make it sound like you're a child.  I hate that too.

I have a co-worker who is dressed REALLY nice... lots of accessories, like those magazien pictures or blog pictures... and she always smile so people compliment her all the time... even the men.  I am slightly under the radar... which is good.  I don't think I would be comfortable that accessorized. 

I always feel like people would think that I spend too much time and concern on my look.  I want to look nice and presentable, but not enough to be complimented on.  Does that make any sense?  lol.

Someone asked me if I could put all my outfits posted so far onto a collage so it's in one place. I hope this works or is going to be helpful or is what the person had in mind. 

Again, I'm not a fashion expert or claiming to be one. As seen by my style, I'm pretty simple not trendy. I just love clothes and I'm flattered that what I wear can inspire others into looking into their own wardrobe.

These are in random order.

Gosh...I've posted a lot of photos!  :o ;D

I love all of your outfits, Pinkiepie!  You have such a knack for throwing together outfits and matching your clothes and making sure they compliment your body type.  I also love it that you and I have such similar tastes in clothes/outfits.  That is, when I do dress up.  Otherwise, I'm mostly in jeans and solid colored shirts.   :P

Post by: LadyLionness on December 19, 2013, 10:44:14 AM
I agree with not competing. 


I don't know about other people, but for me, clothing is almost spiritual.  It is definitely emotional.  I dressed how I feel each day.  For instance, there are days when I am tired and not feeling too good.  I don't want to dress in bright colors just in case I am not paying attention and something looks odd together.  On these days, I go with basic colors like black and grey.  I don't have too many brown clothes... just a few.


On days when I am happy and energetic, I wear bright colors and have to edit myself.  lol.


Most importantly, I think clothing should speak to who we are inside and that it should compliment our body shape... and be things that make us happy just looking at them... lol... yeah... definitely spiritual and emotional.

Post by: lilly on December 19, 2013, 11:01:35 AM
Thanks lilly!

It's important for us to know what works for our bodies and to dress realistically. I say that because I'm sure if we all have that 'perfect' body we'd be wearing something else....hahahh aa... I know I would if I was taller, thinner, etc...  ;D But I'm not so I have to dress for what works for me.

You should share with us some photos. We can all inspire one another. :)

5.  Hmong inspired scarf from walmart.  Although I was not too crazy about how thin and short it was... I wanted one just to have one... lol.  Turn out to work well with conservative clothes as it is not as bulky as the other ones.

Shoes are my real passion in fashion. I just love shoes but anything over 3.5 inches is a dealbreaker for me no matter how cute the shoe is.  :'(  I just can't walk in very high heels. 3.5 inches is already pushing it. I do love those pointy toe zara heels that you have, but I've not been able to find any lately... even online. I used an app called Poshmark and they had some cute Zara heels that weren't too high but I didn't get it so now I'm out of luck.

Navy blue blouse, Loft. Caramel skirt, Jcrew. Heels, Zara.

Nice pairing, PP.   O0

December 19, 2013


1.  Dana Buchman black leather jacket... my all-time favorite and go with anything and everything jacket.
2.  Worthington black button down blouse.
3.  Liz Claiborne black pencil pants.
4.  Black BORN sandal heels.
5.  Hmong inspired scarf from walmart.  Although I was not too crazy about how thin and short it was... I wanted one just to have one... lol.  Turn out to work well with conservative clothes as it is not as bulky as the other ones.

LL, I like how you brought color into your outfit with the scarf.   ;)

Yes, too bad some of us are limited in our choices.  I'll share someday.   :)

Lilly, you should contribute too if and when you have time, and want to.   ;D

Hey ladies, during the summer time will you ladies be posting pics of yourselves wearing your swimsuit outfits in this here thread?  Just wondering.

Trouble, you're too cute.  You took the picture in the big room with shoppers and everything, huh?  lol.


I like the outfit.  Been wanting to get a flat pair of boots to wear out and about.  I don't usually wear flats, but I have noticed that a flat pair of knee high boots still looks sexy... at least sexier than a pair of normal flat shoes.

1.  Tahari grey leather jacket.  Softest one ever, feels like butter.
2.  Ann Taylor black A-line dress.
3.  Hot pink Hmong Inspired Scarf... looks more dark red.
4.  Red Born Mary Jane pumps.




Like Hush said, I usually start out with the jacket and then find basic pieces to go with.  Anyway, I prefer to wear the scarf this way and at this length.  What do you think?

Trouble, you are like the queen of knee high boot look. You wear them very, very well.

I love the knee high boot look but I'm very careful with how I wear it. I'm short so sometimes it can look overwhelming. On me, it looks best with leggings, never jeans.  ;D

Trouble wear boots well.  I still can't find one all this time.  I only want flat riding boots.  I came across a few of those that Trouble has but not in size 5 and most store has 6.  I give up because the shaft a little taller and the cir. Is too big. 

My daughter has boots but they feel funny on me while she wear them well with her skinny jeans or leggings.

Pinkie,

This was  my very first Tahari leather jacket.  It's so very soft.  The leather quality is superb!  Since this one, I have been wanting another Tahari leather jacket, but they rarely ever have them in size small, and this one is an XS... (trust me, this is not my usual size, only in this brand...lol).

Finally saw one in a price I was willing to pay and in my size as well as the cut and style that I have been wanting.

@LL -

Actually, I was in the back where the fitting rooms were and no one was around, so I took a quick pick.  Hehehe.   ;D

I don't think it matters whether the boots or shoes are flats, I think it's the style of the footwear because I have some cute pointy flats that I will wear in warmer weather that can make an outfit still look sexy.   ;)

@PP and SB -

Thanks, ladies.  It also helps that I'm of average height so it's easier for me to wear and find nice knee high boots.  I'm sure I would run into the same problems that you ladies have if I were petite.

I never knew Macy's carry size 5 in their store.  I was able to score 2 boots today a Vince camuto and style and co one.  I spend about $200.  They would be good enough to last me for a while because I can't have shoes sitting around if I hardly wear them.  I came home and the style and co one was $20 cheaper on their website so I decide to order the tan and brown one and will return the brown one I got from the store later.  Free shipping too.  Too many people and I really want to check out Nine West or Anne Klein boots but I told myself to only limited myself to 2 pairs.  I came home and my husband was like I'm never going to wear them and my daughter was like she's wearing the style and co tomorrow and I told her she can't.

Macys is the go to store for me because they have size 5 shoes and have an abundance of size short pants/jeans. And they have really good sales. Especially online.

That's great, SB!  Yes, Macy's does carry some small sizes in their stores.  I know that I've seen some at the one that I normally go to.  You should check out the NW ones.  They have both classic and stylish boots.  Most of the boots that I have are NW.  That's cute that your daughter liked the Style&Co boot as well.  They do have some decent styles but they're not always leather.  I prefer leather only because it holds up a lot longer.

Macys is the go to store for me because they have size 5 shoes and have an abundance of size short pants/jeans. And they have really good sales. Especially online.

I don't shop Macy's at all.  Not a mall person anymore.  Beside the mall mean driving 40 min. To  get there so unless I really do have to go then I do.  I saw they have a petite section on the same floor but I was busy checking out shoes.  I have to check out store more often to get an idea of their clothes they carry and especially size so if I need to order online I will not find myself making returns. 

I don't know why I came home and then check online that the boots was $150 on sale but $100 at the store while the other one was at the store for $90 but $60 online.  I decide to order them by midnight and will return the other one later when I have time. 

I could only wear size 5 if they are flat and comfortable and better if narrow otherwise I'm a 4.  I told myself I really need at least 2 pairs of boots so had to get them.

I was willing to spend more for boots because I like them leather so they hold up better.  I have one pair that I got a long time ago and it will hold up even if I don't take care of it or put it nicely away.  I didn't like too many of the boots there because of buckle and strap so I'm going to look online for classic plain one and keep myself on their email list when they have it available.  I see a lot of nw that I like but I also have to pay attention to the shaft and cir measurement. 

I do feel better knowing macys give me idea on boots but just hate that the mall are always 40 minute away the most so no time for looking around when weekend is the only time I'm more home.

Post by: Missterious on December 23, 2013, 07:33:25 AM
SummerBerry, Macys usually have lower prices online during sales. I bought a style & co ankle boot a couple months ago for $65 in the store and when I came home and went online it was only $45 or something. The salesman told me that they carry size 5 even if they don't display it just ask to see if they have any in the back because they usually do carry size 5.

I've ordered a few cute Nine West pumps before in size 5 and they were always too big on me.
 :( They always slipped off my foot so I never got to wear them out. I guess I should try size 4 or 4.5 but I've never tried that size before. Any other shoes that have straps on I can usually wear a 5.5.

I think Macy's petite department is more like "pog laus." I haven't explored that area for a long time now because when I did the clothes were not my taste. I don't know maybe now they have some better tasteful clothes for petite?

Quote from: pinkie
Macy's has a terrible petite section...very pog laus-ish. Nothing has changed so you're not missing out on anything. HahaaaI love the Loft, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor for petites. Yes...it can be a little pricey, but really...they have sales all the time. It's worth looking. My sisters and girl friends say they aren't ready to shop at "those types of stores" yet (Loft, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, etc...). They think the clothing is a little too conservative. Well, I disagree with that. We are all women in our 30s now, I think at some point it's time to stop wearing clothes from Forever 21.   



To be honest, I don't know why people shop Forever 21 and H&M.  The clothes are terribly made and the fits are awful.  Like Cali said, their large and extra-large barely fit us.  I am not even sure what SIZE people they are making clothes for. 

Yes, the prices there are much less... but I would rather buy ONE or TWO really nice piece from Ann Taylor than 10 pieces from Forever 21 that makes me look all mis-shaped etc.

The other thing I noticed about Hmong women small enough to wear from the Junior's section (and Junior stores like Forever 21 and H&M) is that the clothes fit well, but but from behind, they look like little kids... and not the women they are.  When they turn around, you can see that they are matured women, but from behind, they look like little kids.  I have had a few married women's husband complained about that.

For me, I prefer to look like a woman... and not a child.  I do buy a few things from the Junior section, but only if I can combine with my higher end stuff and make it look classic and timeless.

I'm the same way.  I don't mind spending a little more if the product is of good quality, it's a classical/timeless piece, and it will endure over a long period of time.     ;)

That's too bad that you don't have a mall closer to your home.

Pinkie and Trouble, can you come put together some outfits for me? Thanks!

bT, what's your personal style like?  From what I've observed,  you seem more like a casual and comfy type of guy.   :)

trouble, you look great in your workout gear. Geesh, I'd wear my workout clothes all the time if I look half as good. LOL  ;D

I have bought tops/blouses from F21 and H&M. And I'm not trying to look like a child either. LOL. Sometimes it's a hit or miss. What I have come to like about H&M as of late is their over sized sweaters. Love 'em. I am not too picky about where I buy clothes. I'm all about comfort.  ;D
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: LadyLionness on December 23, 2013, 01:33:56 PM
Lol... not saying that they TRY to look like a child... they just end up looking that way. 

I think if you buy random pieces to work with your wardrobe, it might not be so bad... but if you wear full-on junior section clothes... you will end up looking like a little girl.





I do have pieces from the junior section too, but I always mix it with other clothes....


Besides, you are skinny, SS... so those clothes might fit you better...

It is true, you have to pick and choose carefully when shopping in the junior's section or you will look like them. :P

I can say that 90% of my clothing comes from junior's and with a little tailoring here and there, I've been able to wear them very well w/out looking like a "teenager". I like to recycle my clothing, wear it with different pieces and etc. Again, I love being a woman! LOL!

Oh, my jean jacket, the one that fit me very well is from H&M and the fabric isn't bad at all. I can't complain, it fits me like a glove.  :-*

I love how some of their shirt dresses are tailored perfectly!!!! Nipped in the waist, just how I like 'em. ;-)

SS,

I will have to spend some time looking through their shirt dresses then... all the ones I have tried on did not fit correctly due to my pear shape.


______________ ______________

Here is what I wore, traveling home on Christmas Day. 
(http://i.imgur.com/gphlbFN.jpg)


1.  Sears black sweater dress from junior's section.
2.  Sears Covington pink sweater vest.
3.  Tahari black leather blazer.
4.  Black tights with extra fuzzy layer for warmth.
5.  Born black heels.


I wanted to wear something that was comfortable and would still look nice when my husband first laid eyes on me.  I really wanted to wear boots, but I wanted to bring more shoes, so I opted for these b/c they take up less space and they are comfortable.

Black lace top, F21. Red skirt, Loft. Black suede ankle boots.

Nice, PP.  I like everything about your outfit from the lace top to the black booties.  I also like your new avatar pic.  O0

Pinkie and Trouble, this is the style I like...... But on a social worker's minimal income.

bT, from the link, is this what you like or is it how you dress now?  The outfits are well put together, yet somewhat casual and very comfortable at the same time.  If this is how you dress, you don't need any help from me....you're doing great on your own.   ;D

Is the styles and co. boots the derby one?  That the one I got at the store but it was not even on sale but they gave me 10% coupon to make it $90.  I came home and look at the website and it was going as web buster sale for $60 so I decide to order the brown and tan and took the boots back to the store which was less crowded and then saw the black style and co in your earlier photo which I didn't see on the day I got the earlier boots which was $75 but not on sale and look flat which I'm short so I need at least 1-2 inches heel.  I was going to tried it on because my daughter want it but I told her no more shoes.

I think I just want to scored one more boots and no more knowing I don't get around to wearing them.  It's a frye one the Melissa button style in dark brown but almost $350 so I'm keeping my eyes on it.

SB, the boots I have are the Derby ones.  Sometimes if the products are less on the Macy's website,  if you get a nice sales associate in the store, they'll adjust the price for you so you won't have to order online.  I'm glad to hear you were able to acquire a couple of riding boots that fit.  ;)   Frye does have some nice boots and they can be spendy, but worth it due to the quality.  ;D

I really like the styles and co boots.  I walked in them all day long yesterday at the New Year and noticed the bottom heel sole or the rubber is showing sign.... I went shopping today hopefully to scored one last pair of black boots but look like it's spring season because all the boots at MJM was mostly just sandals or casual pump and heel.  They got good deal but hardly any size 5.  At Macys most boots collection was gone.  I didn't find any clothes in their petite section at Macys my taste and more old lady style.  They look similar to roaming at Sears, JCP and Kohls.

Left my camera home for the kids b/c my daughter has a play this weekend, so no pix for a while.


Yesterday - January 2, 2014 Outfit:
1.  Black Liz Claiborne pencil pants.
2.  BCBG maxazria black v-neck jersey shirt.
3.  Wilson Orange Leather Blazer
4.  Hot Pink/ Orange Multi-color silk/cashmere blend scarf.
5.  Born Black Flora heels.  Need to look for another pair soon.  This one is going.  The other one is pretty much gone as will not be able to wear it for work anymore.
6.  Red Tommy Hilfiger leather trench as an outer coat.

My outfit is similar to his... except my shirt is black and not tucked in.
(http://i.imgur.com/z6G2cyV.jpg)

My jacket is this one... minus the added fur scarf.
 

My Hilfiger red leather trench looks similar to this one.

Thursday - January 9, 2014


I had a big presentation this day, to roughly 25 people so I wanted to wear something nice but serious.  I wanted something a little edgy, so instead of wearing traditional delicate pearls or diamonds, I opted for long layered necklaces.  I liked the overall look.  It was enough to keep me happy, but subtle enough that no one noticed.

1.  Tahari grey and black dress.
2.  Ellen Tracy Black Double Breasted Jacket - looks much like my trusty interview blazer.  So happy to have found this.
3.  Gold sandals from Ninewest, scored for $10.
4.  Silver unicorn pendant long necklace
5.  Silver horse pendant long necklace
6.  Diamond stud earrings.  I was going to wear my small Hmong earrings, it was simply too  much.  I think when it comes to work outfits, the saying that after you have put everything on, taken off ONE thing is a good rule.

Friday - January 10, 2014


The speaker feature on my phone died, and hence my alarm.  Got up late, so had to put on something that I know does not take too much brain power to match and don't have to try on different items.


1.  Calvin Klein black and white tuxedo dress.
2.  Tahari black leather blazer.
3.  Red born shoes.

Not planning to do anything, except maybe go to the farmer's market.


1.  Simply Vera Princess (teen lines) pink and black splotch tuxedo pants.
2.  Long sleeve black knit shirt
3.  Pink sweater cardigan
4.  Haven't decided on a jacket yet for going out.  Will update.  Most likely will be my favorite Dana Buchman black leather moto jacket.

Hey, there.  Nice to see you back.  Cute outfit.  Do the heels scratch the sides of your feet?  I had white ones like that from Aldo and they always scratched the sides of my feet when I walked so I just stopped wearing them.

 O0   Thanks for sharing,  Moscato.   :)

Hi trouble, today is the first day of wearing them to work and so far pretty comfortable. The heel isn't to high as you can see. It also has a thin ankle strap that you can't see (pants is covering it) so that might prevent it from scratching the sides of my feet. :)

I've been loving strappy heels lately. Hahaa. I just bought a pair from Zara. It's too dressy for work so I'll just have to take a pix to share.

Do the straps scratch your heels?  I notice that I have that problem too, depending on where the straps lay on my heels.   ;D   Those pumps are really cute though.

I was directed in here by a friend. Everyone looks amazing. Don't mind me ok.  ;D

FF, like I said earlier,  you should contribute too.    ^-^     ;D

Reload Wife...... I just wanted to comment, even as a guy with little sense in women's fashion, the polka-dots or whatever, is it making a come-back?  Because personally, I hate polka-dots!  Hahahaha.   ;D

But you look cute in it, I will say that much.   :P

They're not really polka dots, but..... it looks like you took a picture during new year eve countdown and all the confetti landed on you.

Hmm... grey and pink.  I haven't worn that combo in forever.  Love seeing all the pix coming in again. 

I will be sharing soon too. 



One thing I noticed is that I don't like bare legs on me.  I think it's b/c I have gigantic legs... but anyway... I am finding that if I am wearing skirts or dresses, I prefer sheer black stockings... opaque tights work sometimes, but they are too dark for me. 

Anyway, I didn't like the outfit I had on Monday - January 13, 2014 and at the end of the day is when I realized that I needed black stockings.  They are so expensive nowadays... so no idea what I am going to do.

1.  Liz Clairborne black and white pencil skirt
2.  Simply Vera black ruffle blouse
3.  Tahari black leather blazer
4.  Red Born Mary Jane shoes

Pink/gray is a favorite combo of mine. So soft and feminine together.

LL, I didn't use to like bare legs either. But lately, I've been finding myself wearing bare legs more than tights (and I live in a super cold state!)  :D I think it really depends on the outfit. Some of my skirts look better with dark tights, especially in this colder weather. But can't wait til spring/summer....cause I live in skirts and shorts.  :)

BTW, I love that blazer you posted. The tie at the waist gives it thin waitline. Look good on you Lady.  O0

Pinkie,


I like grey as a neutral for some of the brighter and softer colors.  Sometimes black can be too harsh and I am not at a size where whites are only flattering in small dosages.


Good to see you back, Pinkie.  I missed you.  I also miss RL and Moscato's photos too.  Keep sharing, Ladies.  This thread is entirely for us and us alone.  The men are welcome to join as long as they are respectful like the gentlemen who have contributed to this thread.  The rest... better watch out b/c the Lionness have been released.

If it wasn't for the tips I learned in this thread, I would have never had enough courage to try skinny jeans. 

And if Trouble and Trouble haven't made wearing suits look so fun, I would absolutely hate my dress code now as I have learned to love and lived in skinny jeans.


I enjoy seeing all the different personalities expressed on here.  Some have perfect physiques and some (especially me) don't, but that is the beauty of fashion... it helps us to embrace what we have and don't have.

It was a hard and dismal night for me, so I wanted to wear something that would cheer me up.  It wasn't very work appropriate but I didn't have any meetings so I went with it.


1.  Hmong Trench jacket made from a vintage skirt - Orange was the primary color with splashes of royal blue cloth throughout.
2.  Liz Claiborne straight leg royal blue jeans
3.  BORN blue heel sandals.
4.  BCBG black blouse.

I really enjoy today's outfit.  Might try to snap a pic just b/c I like it so much.


Pinkie, you are right.  Some outfit DO look better in bare legs, this is one of them.  I actually wore knee-hi boots to work, but saw that it gave the outfit a very heavy and unbalanced look so I changed into the gold sandals I left at work.  It looks professional and fresh (at least to my eyes).


1.  Tahari grey leather blazer
2.  Joe Boxer black tank (b/c button downs always gap at the bustline area).
3.  Chico grey with black stripe button down silk blouse.
4.  Ninewest pinstripe skirt (that went with the plenum suit jacket I posted a few days ago with the lace dress).
5.  Scratch Born knee-hi boots... Ninewest gold heel sandals.

I don't mind bare legs in the winter. With the right skirt and look, it can work. Ladies, just make sure to exfoliate well and lather your legs with lotion. Hahhaaaa... nothing is worse than crusty, weathered legs in the winter time.  ;D

Post by: LadyLionness on January 16, 2014, 01:26:29 PM
I keep a little bottle of exotic oil in my desk... and when I happen to go bare legs... I slather some on.  It's a mixture of olive oil, soybean oil, and unfortunately, some of my precious argan oil b/c it's actually for my hair... but in a pinch, it works great.

moscato, the sweater is actually kinda cute.  ;D

I've never participated in ugly sweater events. I think it'd be fun. I'd make my own ugly sweater.  :)

I keep a little bottle of exotic oil in my desk... and when I happen to go bare legs... I slather some on.  It's a mixture of olive oil, soybean oil, and unfortunately, some of my precious argan oil b/c it's actually for my hair... but in a pinch, it works great.

Exotic oil? I might have to look into this.  :D

I have a scarf obsession. Yes yes, it's probably from watching all those Korean-dramas. Hahaa... Anyways, the latest addition to my collection. Soft maroon, eggplant, and blush colors. Decided to pair it with a eggplant cardigan.

4.  Ninewest gold sandals.

I decided to put on some black tights at the last minute but didn't have time to re-take a photo.  ;D So here's today's outfit with black tights.

Pinkie,
 
I love the printed pants look, but b/c my legs are so very huge, I have to try them on and really look at it from a disconnected point of view as if I am looking at it on someone else.  Its not often that I can find one that goes with my taste as well as my shape.  I was quite happy to find these in the juniors section.  Its slightly too big, but I really like it b/c it is also tuxedo style. 
This jacket is the same as the black one that you said you liked. 
 
I love love love bold and bright colors.  I have to be really careful what I wear them with and to where b/c they are so very bold.  Red makes me happylols.

Pinkie,
 
 I see that you do animal prints really well.  I have seen one of my co-worker wear it to work, but so many professional career wear sites say that animal print (along with lace) is too much for work.  What do you think?  Do you think that since your workplace is more trendy, its easier to wear these pieces?
 
Trouble,
I see that you wore red and green together.  Although this isnt a color combo I particularly like, I often find myself wanting to put them together b/c of the shape and styles of the pieces I have on hand.  To me, this color combo is reminisce of Christmas so I have always avoided it.  Same with orange and black it reminds me of Halloween.  Could also be why I dont care to wear red and pink together or red with white.  What do you ladies think?  When you see it, does it remind you of the holidays or do you just see the beauty of the pieces and colors together?
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: moscato on January 22, 2014, 11:35:40 AM
LL, I think the same thing. Lol I'm not that bold to pull off those color combos. When I think of wearing orange it reminds me of a pumpkin. I'm very curvy/busty so I won't wear it unless it fits my body well.

LL, the printed pants worked with this outfit. I like the solid on top and the way you wore your jacket. Gives it that edgy look.

Maybe I'll wait til spring and pick up a pair of printed pants.

I know what you mean about animal prints being too much for the work environment. I recently just started feeling comfortable wearing prints like these.  ;D I think one can get away with it if it's tastefully done. For example the top I'm wearing today, it's not like I'm wearing it with a mini skirt. My skirt is still appropriate length and the top covers quite a bit so it's not trashy looking.  ;D

Plus, my work place is on the trendy side and not so much conservative so I feel ok wearing prints.

LL, that picture was taken at work this Christmas where we had to wear holiday themed colors; however, I think you can wear any color combo anytime throughout the year -- especially paired with the right accessories O0  I'd say, take that color challenge and just try it  :)  I'm sure you'll look fabulous  ;)

2.  BCBG black empire waist blouse.
3.  Red Born shoes.


Any ideas on how to make this suit more interesting?  I feel so blah and old in it...lol.

On the suit above, I think I am going to shorten it a little so it hits right above the knees like the model.  For now, it hits me right below the knees.


I did keep it very minimal, but it bored me to death... lol.  I hated looking at my reflection.

Trying hard not to wear a leather jacket this week.

1.  Black Laundry sheath dress.
2.  Simply Vera lime green waterfall front cardigan
3.  Tahari lime green suit jacket
4.  Opaque black tights (TJMAXX)
5.  Born black oxford.
6.  Tahitian black pearl earrings.
7.  Tahitian black pearl necklace.
8.  Mystic Topaz cushion cut ring.
9.  Emerald set wedding band.
10. Diamond bracelets.

My outfit is similar to this one, except my stockings are not sheer and the hem of my skirt angles down so one side is longer, hits right at the knee while this other side is about this short.

Pinkie, you have no idea how longingly I look at my leather jackets every morning, knowing that I can't wear them this week... :P




Kimchi, once a woman has found her style, it doesn't change much... the change is in the details... such as colors, play of textures, accessories, etc.  Once you know what works for your body, you tend to stick with it.  Makes getting dressed in the morning much easier.  You know everything work well together so you don't have to stress about it.

Pinkie, I find inspiration from your outfits... and most of my base are now black... and ALL my slacks at the moment are black.  I have one grey ones in the closet, I need to shorten and I red pair that I have not had the courage to wear yet.


The change is in my jackets and shoes...

You can also mix and match with other suit separates.  I do that with mine all the time.  Just because it comes together doesn't necessarily mean you have to always wear them together.    ;)

LL, thank you! Like I said, it's been so cold here so my black slacks have been a staple in my wardrobe. I can't wait til it warms up so I can wear some of my more casual and light colored pants.

Do you tailor your pants yourself or take them in? I wish I can sew so I can do something basic like tailoring my own pants. I always tailor my pants if they are a bit too long. It just looks more professional and clean rather than tucking them in or folding them, etc... I take them to a Hmong lady who's been doing my tailoring for years.

Pinkie,

I shorten my own pants.  Basic skills from middle school home economic class... lol.


I wish I can still sew and shorten my own dresses and skirts too, but I need to take those in.  I usually do my own pencil skirts.

look on youtube, they should be able to show you how to easily do pants leg... but they don't cost too much so depend on time... it might be worth getting them done professionally .

My husband and kids keep telling me that I need to throw away some of my clothes, especially anything that I have not worn in a year.


Well, the problem with that is... I go through different cycles in my life.  There are times when all I want to wear are pants... no matter where I am going.  And the I prefer wearing skirts.  And then just dresses.  This is a dress time period in my life again... so I haven't worn this dress in probably 4 or 5 years... but happily, it still looks nice and professional.  Each piece of clothing in my closet has its own time and purpose... if I haven't worn it, it's not b/c I don't like it... it is just that the time is not right.

1.  Ann Taylor black and tan polka-dot wrap dress.
2.  Teri Jon cream boulce suit jacket
3.  Red Hmong scarf
4.  Red born mary jane shoes
5.  Opal silver cross pendant on a long silver chain
6.  2 diamond bracelets plus my white opal braclet.
7.  white single stone opal ring
8.  Pink opal earrings  - didn't bring my white ones with me.


My outfit is similar to this, but my jacket is slightly shorter, so it looks nicer.

LL, I've tried hemming my own pants but it does not look good.  ;D I rather pay a professional to do it for me. Luckily more and more stores that I like offer petite sizing so I really haven't done much tailoring in a while.

I agree with you that each piece of clothing has its own time and purpose. I am guilty of keeping everything.  ;D I have a massive clothing collection because I can't seem to part with things. And I do find myself wearing them time after time. I'm sure there are sweaters or blouses I haven't worn in months or years - but I know I will wear them again, that's why I hang on to it.  :)

I noticed, no leather for you today either!  :D

LL, I've tried hemming my own pants but it does not look good.  ;D I rather pay a professional to do it for me. Luckily more and more stores that I like offer petite sizing so I really haven't done much tailoring in a while.

I agree with you that each piece of clothing has its own time and purpose. I am guilty of keeping everything.  ;D I have a massive clothing collection because I can't seem to part with things. And I do find myself wearing them time after time. I'm sure there are sweaters or blouses I haven't worn in months or years - but I know I will wear them again, that's why I hang on to it.  :)

I noticed, no leather for you today either!  :D

As I get older and can afford to do shopping I no longer hem pants/jeans anymore and finding petite size fit perfectly.  Sometimes they just don't have it in the store so have to order online.  I'm looking to get some more of gap pants and jeans.

5.  Diamond stud earrings
6.  2 diamond bracelets
7.  Emerald set wedding bands

11.  Hair style is similar to that of the lady wearing the shirt.

I've never heard of Ellen Tracy but back in December when I went to the eye doctor with my husband.. I end up purchasing a new prescription eye glasses made by Ellen Tracy in her petite frame style.  I paid full price for it because I used up my vision benefits for contact lenses earlier.

Now everywhere I go I see her product in clothes, make-up?? (not too sure because I was at Sephora getting Stila make-up last week and just kind of recall I might have seen it around the store) and other stuffs.

It should go well because you're so use to speaking in front of a room of people already then getting in front or doing more speaking regardless of what is pretty much nothing and normal........
Title: Re: Fashion Slaves...what are you wearing today?
Post by: LadyLionness on January 31, 2014, 12:45:58 PM
No, I still get nervous every time.  Even when I don't have to speak and just sit in the room with them.  Peb cov Hmoob still get intimidated easily.  I didn't think I was like that, but I am.


The funny thing is, my husband has been preaching for over 20 years... and everytime he has to preach... his hands get all sweaty right before he has to go up.  Once he is up there he is fine, but the few minutes before, he gets really nervous.  I think it's cute and funny.

Didn't get to browse that long but I did get a pair of American Rag jean. Not the one I saw online though. And also ordered a maxi skirt. They have some good stuff right now and I may just go browse again by myself. I might get me this shootie; still debating. It's kind of high though.

Post by: Missterious on February 14, 2014, 03:48:16 PM
Looking kinda ghetto today. Jacket and tank top are several years old. Jeans is American Rag I got from Macys last week. Shoes are from Target. I don't like them but trying to find a way to tolerate wearing them. I feel weird wearing it because I'm usually a heel or sandal kind of girl. No accessories. That's still a work in progress. Tell me if these shoes look too ugly on me.

I like this outfit better.  The 1st pix with the jacket and boots is something my daughter would wear but not me.  My daughter love fashion but I'm glad her day of trying to be so stylish and winning a spot in fame of hall is over. 

I still can't wear heels at all. I have 4 pairs of low heel from life stride still new in the box but have worn the black one a few time.  I couldn't walk in them well.  Last week I purchased online another flatter heel more like the style or from the company hush puppies.  I will wear it over the weekend and see how it turn out.  If comfortable then need to order them in a few colors because it's only a size 4. 

I can't seem to take photo at all because I don't dress up often so won't get a chance to share anything.  If I do this weekend at the funeral then I would since my whole family is attending.

I do like the second look better too.  The black jacket was a bit too bulky for the overall look. 

And I agree, if the boots hurt your feet, throw them away.

Sunsets, that's so true; many people have told me I look bigger in photos. Must be a disappointment to them  ;D

LL, I just hate that I spend 40 bucks on that shoe and only wore it once only to have it hurt my feet and can't even return it.

Post by: tRouBLe on February 18, 2014, 07:51:30 PM
@Missterious, I also agree with Summerberry.  I like the second outfit better.  I think the heels and change in color of jacket gives it more contrast and makes the look more feminine, but that's just my opinion.  Thanks for sharing both outfits.

As Fashion Slaves, we all know how far a pair of nude pumps can go... but I have wide feet and the pointy toes always squeeze my feet.  If I get something a 1/2 size bigger, the heel always fall off.  These are perfect for me... b/c of the Mary Jane straps.

On February 22, 2014, I have the privileged to live out one of my fantasies.  As a teenager and into most of my adulthood, those sexy Scottish warrior was every bit as much a part of my life as anything else.  I could go on and on about all the different warriors and their clans, along with their heroines.  One of my favorite highlander author was Jude Deveraux.  I have read so much about all festivals and how much it means to them, I wanted to see it first hand. I was torn about what to wear.  I knew it was at a fair ground, so most people would be really casual.  I didn't want to dress casual, but I didn't want to be overdressed.  As I was trying on different outfits, I thought it would be a great opportunity to wear my hybrid Hmong clothes.

1. BCBG green jersey dress
2. Arizona black v-neck shirt
3. Red Hmong Chinese jacket
4. Born Brown sandals (I wanted something that was comfortable and could be worn on grass... but still give me some lift).
5. Blue Hmong purse (wanted something roomy that would not compete with the outfit).

Yeah, Pinkie, that is a bit too casual.  With torn or distressed jeans, go classic on top, to balance it out. 

I used to think that this style of sweater is dressy, but it is not.  I bought one and wore it to work only once b/c it was way too casual.

I think I agree with you. The distressed jeans plus the loose top is a bit casual.

The sweater is very thin, very loose. I'll try the sweater with black leggings and heels next time and accessorize it.

Since we went casual, I've been very surprised at what other people view as casual. I see sneakers now! And this used to be a business attire dress code environment!

Welcome back pinkipie!  :D

Pinkie,

Here is another hybrid outfit that I wore to speak at a women's function.

1.  Yellow BCBG Lace dress
2.  1020 by Nicole blue leather jacket
3.  Hmong money belt
4.  BORN flora shoes.  I forgot what color I wore... be it the yellow, blue, or hot pink one.  I am thinking it was the hot pink one.

Ok, I definitely cannot pull off that look. Too bold for me. And I can't accessories with Hmong jewelry/pieces even though I love Hmong clothes. It's one of those things where I can't mix old and new.

But Lionness, you match it and you wear it well!  O0

I do like bright colors for anything outside of work, but I din't realize just how bright they are until I have seen them in photos.  Lol.

You wonderful ladies have good taste.

LL, I like your outfits and you eat die in fashion.  ;) I like the outer wear you had on and is that a Hmong outer coat?  You are a beautiful Hmong woman and thanks for sharing.  ;)

WI_SweetGuy,

Thank you.  I had to think about the "eat die" phrase.  Lol.  Yes, it is a Hmong Chinese jacket.  I figured that the Scotts would be in their traditional clothing, so I might as well go in mine.   :)

I like the outfit but wouldn't or can't do the Hmong money belt.  You are now wearing more short or knee length dresses.  If I'm a working lady/woman then blending in bright colors will become a part of my wardrobe otherwise I have to stick to neutral color.  Since I don't work, attend function or go to church anymore then dressing is money wasted sitting n my closest. 

Show us a picture of your nude pump your order recently vs. those born shoes which seem like you got a closest full of them.

Summerberry,

I actually don't wear too many bright colors to work.  If I do, it is only one piece.  Like a shirt, or a jacket, or a scarf, sometimes, it's just my shoes. 

I do brighter colors for social functions. 

Yes, I do have a closet full of born shoes... and very few others that I am still wearing.  My nude shoes, I have only worn it twice.  Every time I wear it, I wonder why women would put up with such pain.  It's a little sexier, I admit, but to me, it still does not justify the pain... especially if my born shoes aren't that bad looking.  They feel like gym shoes, but is pretty close to nice dress shoes.

In all my years of searching the world, I meant world wide web..hehe... I have never come across someone like you before.  I truly admire Hmong people in Hmong clothing and you're one the few in the states who appreciate and know how to make a fashion statement.  I love your Hmong outfits and it means so much for me to see someone like your self still representing the Hmongs.

Thanks you for always giving up something to look forward to. Have a good night and sweet dream.  ;)

Fashion Slaves:


Looking back through all these pages, I realized something... we actually spend more time thinking about our outfits when we take photos and share them with each other.  I would say that I am the most beautiful when I am sharing with you ladies in here.  Otherwise I just throw on something "close" enough to the dress code and I am out the door. 


Please continue to post and if possible, please don't delete them from your hosting sites.  I love seeing all the different fashions.


ChickNorris, you need to contribute more.  I like you causal style.

Cali,


I don't know why everyone deleted their photos...  :'(   I love going back and look at all the photos and get new inspirations.  I hope people will continue to contribute and not feel the need to delete them.  They can use the HIDE feature, if they don't want people snooping.


Anyway, you like taking photos, you should share too.  I would love to see your body as we have similar shape but you are way more similar and sexy!!  Gives me something to focus on so I will keep up with my work outs.

Gorgeous photos of you back in your teens and I'm sure you still are...thanks for sharing with us....i used to call those goddess/greek sandals  :P

Post by: LadyLionness on April 17, 2014, 10:58:23 AM
That's what I call them too.  I am fascinated with Goddess dresses... all the drapes, etc... probably due to all the Greek Myths I read as a kids.


Yes, we are our own worse critics... so...

Trouble, I want to see more of your work outfits... they gave me inspiration.  I am back at a slightly more laid back work environment.  Same company, different location so I can wear my leather jackets again.  This time, instead of with jeans, I am wearing them with sheath dresses and pencil skirts.  It's too hot down here to wear pants, so I am wearing dresses or skirts every day.

@LL, ankle length pants can work but it depends on the style and a person's body type.  I prefer the slim fit over wide for professional wear, the wide legs can make a person looker shorter.....an d on me, personally, doesn't look as attractive.

As part of Asian Inclusion Group from work, we attended the Chambers of Commerce celebration.  I wasn't sure what the dress code was, so I decided go with something safe.  Bad quality camera, but just thought I would share.  Can't wait until I got my camera back.


1.  BCBG black lace dress
2.  Hmong padau belt
3.  Tahari black leather jacket
4.  Born red leather mary jane shoes

@LL, nice outfits.  Did you get your haircut?

@MSV, thanks for sharing.  I've always wanted to wear a romper but not sure if it would look good on me since I'm not used to that style on myself.

I did.  I wanted to keep the long layers, but the guy doesn't really know how.  It's ok, as I needed the layers... otherwise my hair has to be styled every day.  I much prefer a wash and go style for every day.

ST...
Take this outfit, for example.  I knew the black lace dress was sexy... and I wanted to wear these sexy heels... so I added a long satin trench coat to tame it down a bit. 
My husband thought the whole combo was too sexy... and particular objected to the height of the shoes... lol.  I pointed out that other ladies... some older than me was wearing shoes just as high... I guess it was the combo of the lace dress with the super high heels...

Why? lol.  It's a sleeveless sheath dress.  Hehehe.  I always wear a jacket... even here in Florida, in the middle of summer... July and August are the two hottest months.  But my office is freezing cold.  I wear my leather jacket and the other Project Manager brought in one of those Cuddly blanket with arms holes so she could work.

Like Trouble1 said, a blazer (or jacket) can change how an outfit look.  And to me, it doesn't look complete unless there is some sort of jacket or outer covering.
 
The one great thing about living in Florida is that I am finding all these light weight jackets and can be worn in the summer time.  I am happy as a clam.  But my closet is not.  Running out of space even though I am the only one here.... hahahaha

Only if I can have feet surgery to give me size 6 I'll could be dressing up even if I'm just a SAHM.  Little kids shoes are width and weird.  I don't want to order anymore size 4 shoes online because only pump look good but any other styles is just old ladies.  I like boots but with CA weather just not something to dress up year round.

@SummerBerry, I'm very fortunate that I don't have problems finding shoes.  I know what you mean about kids shoe sizes vs adult shoes sizes.  It's the same way with clothes as well.   :)

@LL, nice outfit.  Looks like you had fun on the beach.   O0

Have I mentioned that I love the color green?  lol.  Well, I do.  Hahahaha


A friend of mine is a screen writer and they were holding auditions, so I went along.  I wasn't sure what the dress code was, so I decided on this.  I love this outfit.  I love how it looks on me, how it makes me feel, and ... it's green!  I decided to line both top and bottom lash line green.  I used about three different color green.  And black liner closer to the lash line to balance it out... and then lots of mascara.  I layered two different mascara... and two different lipstick.

I felt absolutely amazing in this outfit.  I know, it's a matter of opinion.   :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:  And you can really see my hair color in this first picture.


 


1.  Liz Claiborne kelly green straight leg pants (I love this pants so much, I have 2 of them in this color - different sizes; in hot pink, in white, and in royal blue)


2.  Sears multi-color tank top


3.  Teri Jon sapphire silk blazer (I love this blazer and I have it in two different sizes too)


4.  Ninewest pink gold sandals


5.  Multicolor freshwater pearl necklace (about 8 feet long)

I got no fashion.  I buy my stuff from Goodwill.  I just bought a pair of women shoes.  They are so light and comfortable.  Who cares if a man wears woman shoes?  :)

Duckwing,


Nothing wrong with Goodwill.  I find lots of treasures there.  As for shoes, if it fits and is comfortable... go for it. 


I would love to see those shoes paired up with your clothes.

I absolutely absolutely love this red dress.  I have a lot of red dresses, but I would have to say that this dress is ME... to the nail!  I haven't worn this dress anywhere yet.  My husband said that if I wear this dress out, he would have to be holding my hands.  So, still waiting, but could not resist taking pictures of it.


1.  Calvin Klein red sheath dress
2.  Ninewest rose gold sandals


Here is the whole look... and completely zipped up.
 


Here is a closer look at the dress.  I love this nerdy look... hahahaha

And here is the dress with both sides unzipped.  A different day, so the make up is different.

August 14, 2014 - Outfit of the Day


It has taken me a long time to find a style that speaks to me and FOR me. In the last 6 months or so, I believe that I have found a style formula that works for me. Work: 3 pieces - 2 formal, 1 casual/edgy piece.
Off Duty: 3 pieces - 1 formal, 2 casual edgy pieces.


This is a work outfit, so I break the dress down into "top" and "bottom." Since the top is very intricate, more fitting for evening wear... it serves as my edgy piece. The "skirt" portion fits like a pencil skirt, so it's business/formal, etc. If I pair it up with a leather jacket, there's too many edgy pieces and would not be appropriate for work. So, I chose a very basic suit jacket that can be worn in any boardroom. Dress is from JC Penny. The Jacket is Ann Taylor Loft. The shoes is the BORN sandals I wore with the pink leather jacket from yesterday's picture.


Here is a picture of the shoes...

Trouble you really love those NW boots.  I really like how it look on you.  If only I can wear heel boot then I'll get one but I stick to riding boots.  I've been checking out amazon, 6pm, etc. for discontinued boots and sometime they are a deal to steal but hardly my size unless I want 5.5.  My daughter been wearing my Style & Co one so often that it look like I need to get a new pair and I can see it for only $30 on some website.  I already order a pair of Frye Jane boots that should be here this week or by Thursday.  Sometime it depend on the color you choose and the price change a little.  I found out we have a BootBarn store nearby about 10 min. that could carry the Frye brand because I want to check out the Melissa Button one.  I need to try it before buying online.  Only Frye has it in size 5 while other store are 5.5.

Omg, you're actually on!   :o   Seems like you're always busy with work......I would expect you to be even more preoccupied now, especially with the holidays.   ;D

I have indeed been busy and it's getting busier. Anyway I want to contribute to this thread but I wear the same thing everyday. How come you all never post pics of what you wear to sleep? he he  :D

You can still contribute wearing the same outfit everyday, just pose differently.    ^-^    ;D   It's funny that you say that because I was actually thinking about that a few days ago.  If you post your pj's, I'll post mine.    ;)

That merona scarf from target look nice.  Only thing I hate is that every scarf there is $14.99.  I tell my daughter go to walmart if you're just buying it as a gift to friend.  You don't work no need to get the more better or quality.... Target got good clothes but they don't fit me and the most I get is their sweater. 

I looked at sole society website.  I only like the heels because they have size 4 while other websites the size 4 heels look too old lady.  Now I get that banner popping up.....

The frye boots back I send it back because the back of the shoe the leather look like it was coming off.  I think I'm better off just buying used or any good deal on ebay.  I have to think of how often I will wear clothes and shoes if I'm spending a good amount of money.  I don't want to see my shoes like my handbag that sit on the top of the shelf in my closet.

SB, F21 has a similar scarf like the Target one and it's a little less too.  I don't buy many clothes from Target but they do have some cute styles.

I know what you mean about some of those advertisements that pop up. I don't mind too much if it's stores that I may shop at.   ;D

I'm surprised the Frye boots were like that since they're known for their high quality and lasting style.  Sorry to hear that.  I don't mind purchasing something that costs a little more if they're classic styles and they'll endure over time.....that way, I know I'll be able to use them for many years.   :)

Re-wearing the Target scarf.  Since it has a few colors in the plaid scarf, it can be mixed and matched a variety of clothes.   ;D

I got it on Thursday and then only tried it out it a few and then suddenly I look at the back the leather was thick like a black marker and used my finger to peel a little and you see a little white mark.  I just packed it the same day back. 

I think I'm better just getting it from ebay.

My outfit for Thanksgiving dinner.

Target sweater, Gap slimmed crop (regular size but perfect for petite to make it as pant) and Life Stride pump.

(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd464/CherryBlossom63/67abca4d-bff5-4d4c-88aa-0fdc36239cdf_zps1652569c.jpg) (http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/CherryBlossom63/media/67abca4d-bff5-4d4c-88aa-0fdc36239cdf_zps1652569c.jpg.html)

A scarf I bought at Ross.

My scarves collection.... .....

Boots I bid and won from Ebay.........D exter (heel) and Justin (flat).  Both are in very good condition and with shipping both was about $35.  Some are listed more expensive.  I guess having small feet I have to grab size 5 if possible.

SB, he's almost three months now.  Yeah, I agree.  Three of my friends and four coworkers had babies this year.   ;D   Thanks for sharing your Thanksgiving outfit and your scarves/boots.  I've never bought anything on EBay but have thought about it.  I'm just concerned that I may not like it or it may not be what I wanted.

3 months is quick........t his month both of my cousin had their baby 2 day apart when one the doctor said December.

I'm more addicted to Ebay these day that I spend countless of hours to the point where I want to score good deal but my daughter would be like.....mom you don't even wear them........

Some list their item cheap while some expensive but looking at the photos is what I judge along with the seller review, rating % and how many items they sold so far, etc.  I only do shoes because I have small feet.  Clothes I don't need it.

Yes, the time sure did fly by.   Congrats to your cousins!  Did they have a boy or girl if you don't mind sharing?

There is so much on Ebay, I don't know if I would have the patience.

Went to a friend's bachelorette party.  The theme was mardi gras, but I didn't have those colors, so I went with the most colorful outfit I have.  I didn't realize it then, but turned out to be Hmong sash colors... lol.

DVF Spring Green Zarita Lace Dress
Armani Exchange Fluorescent Pink Leather Jacket
Ninewest Shoes
No jewelry because the outfit was bright enough already.  Jewelry would have been an overkill.

Here are my favorite flats.  I love them so so much!  I bought 3 pairs!  They feel like air under my feet.

I am like you ladies, too. If I love an item, I try to get every style and color that I like in it. You never know when they will stop selling or making it!

I usually wear jeans and relaxed clothing to work but today I'm meeting a contractor after work so this is what I have on today.  When I dress up to work it usually consists of a type of "blazer and slack" or "blazer and skirt" or "cardigan and dress".
