Fossil aka Sensible Male & Lesbians R Us make really nice and ridiculously frustrating wallets, only a handful of which have zip pockets for change.

Hey now. Straight ladies like Fossil too. Mostly because their purses aren't ugly as shit and I like a lot of the fabrics and colors they use.

tania · « **Reply #655 on:** 10 Dec 2010, 13:41 »

man i am just stoked somebody finally linked fossil who isn't me

also don't kid yourself linds, only lesbians like fossil (this includes tommy)

Now now. We all know Tommy doesn't discriminate by silly things like gender when he shares the love.

So I went to Japan and spent a shit load of money on new clothes and new shoes. I ended up with four dresses (of the typical Harajuku variety), two shirts (to go under the dresses), two petticoats (also for the dresses), an awesome jacket, two pairs of shoes, six skirts and a dressy cardigan thing.

I will post more photos later but for now, here are the shoes:

And here are two of the dresses. The first photo is straight from the bodyline.co.jp website. The second I look super awkward in and I don't think the photo is really good enough to show how AWESOME I feel in that dress. But you get the idea (I also bought the same dress in the cream colour, but I can't seem to find either on the website). I definitely think it will make a big difference if I have heels on with these dresses too, rather than flats.

Edith · « **Reply #661 on:** 10 Dec 2010, 14:39 »

I didn't scroll down to the photo of you in the dress at first, I just saw the ringlet girl in the first dress. I was totally confused; I thought you'd had a face-transplant or maybe I forgot who Jmrz was.

Those are totally rad boots!

wait, this reminds me -
dear santa: for christmas this year i would like one of everything from fossil, thanks.

maybe the girl too, i know these kinds of comments are really creepy and kind of predatory but after browsing the fossil website for like the last twenty minutes i really do have a pretty ridicuously huge crush on her. gosh she is just so cute

Dudes, who has worn girl pants before and can tell me what sort of size you wore in dude pants and girlpants? Or ladies who have worn boy pants. Either will work. I am getting my meat life secret santa giftee a pair of jeggings, but they are all sized for ladies and he is a boy.

Verergoca · « **Reply #669 on:** 13 Dec 2010, 21:56 »

Surely there are crossdressing fora out there on the interwebs which will be filled with such information?

jeggings

Jace · « **Reply #671 on:** 13 Dec 2010, 22:58 »

On the advice of Jordan, probably gonna get these boots in a couple weeks/next week/when I have an extra $120:

nekowafer · « **Reply #672 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 05:09 »

Those are some pretty awesome boots.

With man pants to girl pants conversions, remember that man pants sizes generally correspond to waist size, at least sort of. So if you wear a size 36 you have a 36 inch waist (or wherever your pants sit). Girl pants are arbitrarily sized, really.. so look for a website that sells the jeggings you want, and find their size chart. Compare man pants size to waist size. It might not be perfect but that at least gets you close. Then give a gift receipt?

redglasscurls · « **Reply #673 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 06:11 »

I'm biased against pointy toes (for either gender) but I really hate those shoes :/

valley_parade · « **Reply #674 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 09:49 »

Nah, I'm against them too.

Elizzybeth · « **Reply #675 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 10:33 »

I admit that I may be biased. But ankle boots like that on men have always said one of two things to me:

(1) I am a hopeless gaming nerd who has suddenly discovered "fashion" and will wear these daily with my cargo pants and decades-old t-shirts--oh look, I'm wearing a bowler hat--don't I look suave in this ill-fitting blazer.

(2) I am a sleazy car salesman from Miami.

I say this with love: I have dated many people from the first category and my uncle was for a while a Miami realtor. I just think it's a poor fashion decision.

Ptommydski · « **Reply #676 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 10:40 »

I have those shoes. They have no grip and your feet are always cold in them. Very impractical for any situation aside from padding around the office.

Alex C · « **Reply #677 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 10:44 »

Yeah, that's a slim toe and not a pointy toe. It's still terrible. Getting a pointy version would just make me wonder what color of awful Nehru jacket you favor.

Man pants are pretty arbitrarily sized, too. I've had some 33 inch inseam pants that ended up a good way up my calf after washing them, another pair of 33 inch inseam pants that fit perfectly, 36 inch inseam pants that aren't nearly long enough to really be 36 inches, and that's before you get into waist sizes. I've got 33" waist pants that have maybe three inches of extra space, 32" waist pants that barely fit until I wear them for an hour or so, and 33" waist pants that fit perfectly. And that's not even getting into the fashion pants that have vanity sizing or the pants designed to ride lower than hips, since I don't wear those.

If you can find some sort of size chart for a particular kind of pants you know he wears, that might help. There are charts out there that give you the actual waist size to the stated waist size, actual length, thigh size, seat size, leg opening size, I just haven't found them.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #679 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 16:03 »

I wear somewhere around a 32-24 inch waist of manpants and the one pair of ladypants I owned were sz. 12 in Australian sizes, which The Lady informs me is like, a 5 in Amurkan sizes?

Lunchbox · « **Reply #680 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 16:45 »

Nah Doves I am a size 10 in Australian ladypants (28 inch waist) and I am like, a 6 in Amurkan.

tania · « **Reply #681 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 16:51 »

there's no way that's correct unless you went to a special store for tiny women, my pants are all anywhere from size 2 to size 4 and judging from photos i am pretty sure you are skinnier than me.
the best thing i can gauge from these inconsistencies is to really try to get exact measurements if you can, number sizes are probably not so reliable.

squawk · « **Reply #682 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 16:56 »

yeah i do not think 6 = 28in, that seems very off. usually, 0s start at around 24 to 25...

Anyway I bought too many clothes this weekend. Including jeggings. Fuck you guys

But I just want to show you the shoes i bought because they are so beautiful to me and all i ever post in this thread is shoes that i bought.

the white part is leather!

aaaaaaaaaaa that color. the only thing with these shoes is that they got a nice fatty tongue since they're skate shoes, so they will be both very padded and comfy, but also just remind me that i need to start skating again and then make me sad.

Liz · « **Reply #686 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 17:42 »

Yeah we have 00 here, but you don't see it very often. I did read a story about some place having negative sizes but I have no idea if it was real or not.

bainidhe_dub · « **Reply #687 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 17:53 »

Yeah, anytime somebody complains about how hard it is to find clothes small enough, somebody else just gags her with a cheeseburger to shut her up.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #688 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 19:25 »

Or they tell her to stop shopping at Wal-Mart.

I seriously can't buy much of anything at wal-mart. The few clothes they have that I would want to wear they don't have in my sizes. Normally I'm an M verging on L, but at Wal-Mart I'm a small, and that is barely small enough. Wal-mart is also the place where I bought those pants that said they were 32/34 but were more like 34/30 after washing.

tania · « **Reply #689 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 19:34 »

if you are buying your clothes at wal-mart you really need to spend more time in this thread

Something Witty · « **Reply #690 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 23:15 »

Yeah, shit, even I don't shop for clothes at walmart.

Disclaimer: I did buy some $9 thermal shirts to wear as undershirts at work from walmart. And an OU football tshirt.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #691 on:** 15 Dec 2010, 01:03 »

They have some decent clothes. Just a lot of bad ones too. And all of the decent ones still don't come in my size.

I was mostly just looking for a plain button-down for when I needed something a bit nicer than a t-shirt, but not fancy.

nekowafer · « **Reply #692 on:** 15 Dec 2010, 04:32 »

I shop at Wal-Mart sometimes. Though their plus size section is terrible. All elastic-waist pants and "capris" that are more like high-waters and it's awful. They did carry some decent jeans for a while, and otherwise I can usually find a couple diamonds in the shit.

I'd like to know who told fat people they could wear tapered pants. Who told anybody, really, but especially fat people. I am attracted to larger people in general and not one would ever look good in tapered pants. Also, elastic waists? What are you trying to do to us?! I'm trying to hide my belly not highlight it for all to see.

Scarychips · « **Reply #693 on:** 15 Dec 2010, 11:17 »

Yeah, the only things I ever bought from wal-mart were thermal shirts at 9$ also. I am an M sometimes going on S, but man, their "S" shirts are really still pretty large.

In other news, I bought some skinny jeans. Another pair of Levi's 510s (the Super Skinny ones). They are pretty great. I also have ried those American Apparel skinnies, and they are incredibly comfy as well. Will probably wait until they go on sale or something. I will not pay 75$ for jeans, unless they are jeans I will wear forever.

tania · « **Reply #694 on:** 15 Dec 2010, 12:05 »

pretty much all of my jeans have been in the $100+ range. i guess it seems hypocritical seeing as i complain about money woes so much but as a person with pretty curvy proportions, i can't actually wear most generic brand jeans because they just don't fit my body type at all - even katie's advice of taking in the waist doesn't seem to work because my butt-to-waist ratio is just too silly and they usually can't accommodate my big calves anyway. the only jeans i have ever owned that have lasted more than a year have been silver brand (specifically, this fit, in black). i bought a pair last year and they're still going strong while pretty much every single other pair seem to to wear out and fade and stretch out and fill with holes and tears within a year. i guess my power butt is just too much for them to handle.

since i managed to nab a pretty well paying teaching assistant position next year, i might actually buy some new jeans! which is good because the aforementioned silver jeans are literally the only pair i have left that are actually in some sort of decent condition. shopping spree, shopping spree

Nodaisho · « **Reply #695 on:** 15 Dec 2010, 17:33 »

You know how I mentioned I was looking for a button-down? I found one.

this thing in Deep Mahogany, although it looks lighter than that in person. The small fit my torso and my arms, which is nice. I got it on clearance after having looked in other stores without being able to find anything in my size. It says it's canvas, but it doesn't feel like it. It's a lot thinner than I think of canvas as being.

alright ponies, i know we've had this discussion before BUT it turns out the twitching of my eyes is caused by the fact that my new glasses have slightly the wrong prescription, causing eye strain (and $ to fix). my old glasses never had this problem and the prescription wasn't different almost at all, so i'm left with the dilemma of either

A) getting the new glasses fixed
B) switching back to my old glasses and keeping the new as a spare, and getting them fixed when i can afford it better
C) returning the new glasses and never buying anything new ever again

the monetary factor is small so this is basically a cosmetic decision, which glasses look better on me? i cannot decide

help me sex furnace, you're my only hope.
