Yeah I don't think that's going to happen. Kris knows that I can take her, she won't try to fight me.

EDIT: Goddamnit this was my 4000th post. What a waste.

So ummmm I got a lot of new clothes! I am sorry for so much Andy-clothes in here, but I pretty much don't get to wear/show them anywhere, this is the last stint in a little while. Also, a lot of blue and purple

Okay, so I am unsure of these dresses, I like them but my housemates think they make me look heavy.(yes I did buy the same dress in two different colours, gimme a break they were only 8 bucks)

Leopard print dress yeaah.

I'm starting to venture into ruffly stuff, there is a button missing though.

Chyeaah I love peacocks.

Sooo new earrings

So this shirt is kind of boring, but I plan on doing some printing on it, where would a flowy design look good?

My new-to-me belt has a man with a bicycle <3

So are argyle tights a bad call? A bad call for 2 bucks each?

So this was my favorite find, it is so comfy and makes me feel grand.

Okay no more I am sorry for a while! I am also sorry that I always pose dumb, I try not to just let my arms hang but I have no idea what to do.

God I love christmas sales. Hnnngh.

(I will totally make these links if anyone reallyminds)

Yes to all.

Tights require a different set of outfit but could work well.

Slick · « **Reply #2103 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 15:03 »

See the only problem with those paired dresses is that for full effect you need to be wearing both simultaneously. What you need to do is get really good at changing that entire outfit, dress, leggings, and feetings, so that you can have the alternate outfit stashed somewhere at a party and just duck out for a second and return inverted.
If you could do this I would probably buy a park bench or something else fairly small while still requiring some effort and dedicate it to you.

You already know my stance on tights Andy : P.

I like everything but the first two dresses, I'm not really a fan of high waistline casual dresses like those, though they don't look terrible on you. I'm heck of gay for that last sweater thing though, it is awesomesauce.

Mind sharing with the rest of the class? I'm heck of gay for tights so I would please like to know your honorable opinion.

Gilead · « **Reply #2106 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 15:56 »

Colourful or eye catching tights are basically boner city if they're pulled off well.

Liz · « **Reply #2107 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 16:03 »

I have purple tights! And argyle tights. I love them because they let my wear dresses and skirts when it is a little cold out.

tania · « **Reply #2108 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 16:13 »

holy legs, andy.

the plain shirt would probably look good with a flowy design somewhere in a bottom corner. i do not think the top dresses make you look heavy at all, you are skinny and curvy enough to be able to pull them off real well. the only thing i am not sure about are the argyle tights, they don't seem like they'd be very flattering but you also know way more about fashion then i do so i am sure you will find many ways to wear them all awesome-like that i can't think of at the moment.

redglasscurls · « **Reply #2109 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 16:22 »

I'm okay with the argyle tights, but NOT with flats. Seeing them extend over that much foot makes your legs look weirdly stumpy. Heels or boots would go way better.

Slick · « **Reply #2110 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 16:43 »

I am all about designs up the sides of things, so I would fully support flowy business going up one side of that shirt.

Chesire Cat · « **Reply #2111 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 16:59 »

Running list of only the bad things, because everything else was ~~hot~~ beautiful.

-The purple dress > the black dress

-The Leopard Print dress I have to wholly disagree with.

-Ruffly Shirt with the button, try undoing the top 2 if its not too trampy. If you feel particularly maverick you can take the top button off and re-sew it on one down.

-Everything else down to the last shirt is amazing. Man on Bike belt is 2nd best thing of the day. And 'plain' shirt is I would refer to as solid. You know it looks good and its not too busy, and sometimes you want to look good without looking too busy, know what I mean. Peacocks are flawless cant really mess with them, plus it looks like a 'is it a long shirt or a short dress?' kinda thing that guys with healthy libidos philosophies over constantly.

-That last shirt is kind of a formless blob, not really flattering, but not really fun either.

Spluff · « **Reply #2112 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 17:03 »

I agree with the above, pretty much. I'd like to add that the argyle tights would work but only with something plain and simple, such as a plain white top in the vein of the peacock top (but, uh, plain and white).

Skibas_clavicle · « **Reply #2113 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 17:15 »

These are pretty much the three styles I dress in. All could be classified as FRESH & PROPER. The only thing that isn't is my lack of makeup and well groomed hair.

I wish the details on this shirt were more visible.

Social Bacon · « **Reply #2114 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 18:42 »

Wow, now that's my kind of fashion. Even though under normal circumstances I'd loathe that first pair of shoes, they look great with that outfit.
Wow.

Spluff · « **Reply #2115 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 22:31 »

I quite like the first and the last outfits, but the second one is not good.

It looks like something my sixty-five year old grandmother would wear. I am sorry about this.

Ballard · « **Reply #2116 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 22:49 »

I think it's that you really can't see the shirt clearly.

It looks like it'd be a much more interesting shirt up close. The pants and kicks are hot.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #2117 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 22:57 »

whatEver dudes the second outfit is by far my favorite. It is a Solid Outfit. Look at the silhouette of the top with the pants with the shoes. It's pretty unique and suits her shape beautifully. Also when glancing at the collar it kind of looks like she is a Catholic priest.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #2118 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 23:11 »

Vote also for outfit #2! Although Julia is kind of my style icon and I think she always looks fab, so whatever. Keep it up, Julia?

Gilead · « **Reply #2119 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 23:13 »

I am not going to go in to full bore fashion snob mode but I just gotta say that I hate hate hate the chunky sneakers tongues flipped out moon boot look, it makes everyone's legs look like stubby tubes of sausage and basically noone can pull it off.

The other two outfits are a'ight though.

valley_parade · « **Reply #2120 on:** 15 Dec 2008, 05:25 »

Damn, you Canadians and your stripey cardigans.

Import your cardigan-infested girls to me, please. I'm willing to trade a partially complete Squier Bullet and a Russian hockey jersey.

(actually, I will finish the Squier, if it seals the deal)

redglasscurls · « **Reply #2121 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 05:12 »

My fashions are iffy and poorly lit

I still have not figured out how to wear this vest without feeling either really butch or just like a douche.

Gilead · « **Reply #2122 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 05:29 »

It's a little hard to tell with the lighting but the main problem is that the vest is an odd colour, which would make it hard to pair with anything, maybe a nice white blouse that is girly enough to not look butch?

Also are those things in the background those little strips of cloth that have hindu/buddhist looking stuff all over them that I see everywhere? If so, what is up with those.

redglasscurls · « **Reply #2123 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 05:45 »

Nope, they're actually mexican papel picado flags, basically just bright cut paper used as cheap festival decorations. The things you're talking about are buddist prayer flags, you're supposed to hang those up where they can flap in the wind and broadcast happy prayers around or something.

It is a bit of an odd color, very skin-toned, but I bought it anyway because it fit surprisingly nicely for a mens vest.

On friday I am probably going to meet a girl I might or might not fall completely in love with.

Question: What to wear on this occasion? Suit? Classy pants with a plain white shirt? Casual attire?

Ladybug · « **Reply #2125 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 13:14 »

I would say that depends a lot on where you are going and what you are doing.

Chesire Cat · « **Reply #2126 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 16:16 »

Wearing a suit to meet a girl your not going to fall in love with is a bit odd. I find my main problem with wearing a suit is its hard not to come off as over dressed in this day and age.

Also Redglasscurls. I have a sand/beige vest that I also cant find anything to pair with. It sits sad and alone in my closet.

What about.....a christmas onesie!!

I'm thinking all red, decorated with reindeer, christmas trees and santa!

I was thinking onesie:

The diaper is optional.

The information you gave, about going to meet a girl, is pretty irrelevant. Relevant information would be the location you will be headed to.

Hi fashion thread! SHOOOOEEESS.

I got new shoes this weekend. This was the pair my best friend gave me for my birthday. TUK shoes are my favourite brand! I have already scuffed them in the one time I have worn them because I walk like a duck. The photos do not even show how rad they are, I love them so much.

Also, I bought ballet flats for the first time ever! They were too cute to resist.

jmrz · « **Reply #2135 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 20:09 »

I have my work Christmas party this Friday. It is a lunch time deal and most of the girls generally get all frocked up and prettified and stuff. It is the first time I've ever been and there are lots of older people that work for the company (it's a Real Estate business), so I need to look respectable and whatnot.

Outfit so far:
- Black and white checkered dress, strapless, buttons down the front.
- Red high heels.
- Red accessories - red earrings or necklace or red ribbon in hair or something.

I will post pictures when I get home. The dress is knee length, so it's not too short. Pretty sure that it should be okay.

FASHION ADVICE THREAD today is the day i finally contribute to you, complete with stupid pose.

i bought this coat today!

i do not own any nice things and decided that i maybe kind of wanted to start owning nice things on account my entire wardrobe is t-shirts and jeans. this was my first serious attempt to buy something nice. i think it is pretty stellar, but i am also aware that i do not know anything about fashion so i hope this was an okay decision to make. i also hope it makes me look older than 12 for once.

Gilead · « **Reply #2137 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 20:35 »

I'm normally more a fan of overcoats being a solid, dark colour but that is a bloody nice coat tania.

Chesire Cat · « **Reply #2138 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 20:52 »

Yer purty

The coats real nice too

You need a long dark wig, sunglasses and a nondescript briefcase to properly pull that off Tania.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #2141 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 21:23 »

I would wear the shit out of that coat it is so so cute. The cut makes it look more professional, too. So yays all around!

Lunchbox · « **Reply #2142 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 21:45 »

Tania I envy you and your coatly happiness.

guys, I just bought this shirt. Normally I stay away from anything that is not really well fitted because I like my waist, but I thought I'd try something new. Is this the way to wear such a garment? I think I look pretty okay.

celticgeek · « **Reply #2143 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 21:49 »

Yes. You should always wear that outfit when standing on a sofa.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #2144 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 21:50 »

You are absolutely correct. That is a shirt made for punching yourself in the head.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #2145 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 21:52 »

Shut up guuuuuuys my tripod has gone missing and that was the only place I could get a full-length shot. Also my batteries are dying so I had to use the one picture I took in which I am posing like a dumbass. Does my body look good in that shirt, is what I am asking.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #2148 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 22:19 »

You look like a lady of luxurious litheness, a luminous lass of literacy who lures lovers with your luscious legs to lock lips; lascivious lads and lonely lesbians alike, living in league far below your level, lament their lust for you. Alas, I linger- to be laconic: you look lovely, Lunchy.

Don't be ridiculous, the hairstyle she has already is perfect for that coat.

Seriously Tania, the first thing I thought when I saw that photo was "Wow, that coat really goes well with her hairstyle." You've got all sorts of '60s-fashion-model stylin' up going on there!
