I'm not sure whether any of them would properly be called Oxfords, if by Oxfords you mean Oxford brogues, but regardless of that I like the first pair best. Brogues are quite popular with British girls but I don't think I'd wear them myself, they require nice ankles, thin legs and a sort of relaxed, just-got-out-of-bed-but-still-model-perfect sort of hairstyle.

Only the first pair would be considered an oxford. The second was me just whining and the third pair are kind of similar to oxfords, I guess.

I've got time to think about it, so I'm still looking for something suitable.

All the more reason to return her shoes, you grave robbing fuck. What are you, some kind of pantomime villian, stealing old people's shoes? All of you should be ashamed.

Let me just say, there is nothing wrong with wearing your grandparents' clothes. I have three skirts and one dress that my grandmother wore when she was my age, and those are some of the nicest clothes I have, and every time I wear them I get complimented on my clothes by either friends or strangers.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #1355 on:** 27 Mar 2011, 17:36 »

I wish my grandmother had kept her clothes, I've seen so many pictures and heard stories of her handmade dresses.

Anyway I'm in a pretty princess mood and I need some cardigans, I hope you guys like these:

Because I just bought them.

What's with the bow on the blue one? Are buttons not good enough?

Lunchbox · « **Reply #1359 on:** 28 Mar 2011, 03:09 »

The bow makes it prettier.
I'll take that as a compliment, Dovey.

redglasscurls · « **Reply #1360 on:** 28 Mar 2011, 06:16 »

Cardigans are the best knits. Not buttoned up like that though, open over something else and then they are perfect.

Backhanded complimented I guess?

I seem to say this a lot but I'd have to see how you wear them to form a proper opinion

What are the odds that I could pull off the hippie maxi-skirt look now and then without just looking like a complete wannabe-tribal moron white girl? (note: I would not pair it with a bag large enough to smuggle a washing machine)

Drill King · « **Reply #1366 on:** 28 Mar 2011, 11:51 »

you'd like a hippie lady but not in a bad way? I mean you already have that style going on a little bit so I think itd match what else you wear. ie I think it's fine and you should go for it.

jmrz · « **Reply #1367 on:** 30 Mar 2011, 23:19 »

So I bought these last night, I should have them in a week or two? So ludicrously excited. I hope they fit properly.

My mother is a middle aged librarian and I've worked in libraries since I was 14. It is clinically impossible for me to become even slightly aroused at the notion of library attractiveness.

Lines · « **Reply #1369 on:** 31 Mar 2011, 06:34 »

Well, that's a good thing.

Librarians around here don't really have the "librarian style" or whatever. Mostly because a lot of them are pretty young and dress "hip". I dunno. But glasses tend to be a trend. Actually that's how I found out about the website I ordered my current glasses from - a librarian liked my old (purple) glasses and we were talking about fun frames and she brought it up because of low cost. So hey.

Trendy like wearing glasses with non-rx lenses, or terrible eyesight is the new black?

It's ok! you can wear glasses without any lenses in them! I saw a girl doing this on the bus home from uni. I wanted to stab her with my counselling textbook.

My little sister paid some ridiculous sum to get non-prescription non-tinted raybans. I'm a little disappointed.

Speaking of glasses, I need these. They are pretty expensive but I bet they would suit my thang. Maybe I will buy them once I get paid.
I have black glasses at the moment but I really wish I still had my tortoise-shell ones, black stands out way too much against my face and light hair.

jmrz · « **Reply #1381 on:** 01 Apr 2011, 19:53 »

I really like those except every time I've tried on pairs like that I end up looking completely ridiculous. I never really got used to not having the nose rest things either. One day I will branch out and get glasses that don't look mostly the same as what I have now... one day.

Rizzo · « **Reply #1382 on:** 01 Apr 2011, 20:10 »

Can you shop yourself into those glasses? Cause I can't imagine them looking good tbh. That said, I've always preferred more angular shapes.

I'd really like a pair of these in either purple or green.

I have some fcuk glasses, they are these ones!

I really like them, even thought they have fcuk written on them and are a little too tight so they give me headaches after a while. I really like those glasses lunchy linked, you could could probably find fairly similar ones in some of the shops in newtown.

Oh, fashion thread, I want to buy some nice flowy oversized cardigany type tops, can anyone give some suggestions of where I might find them? I also want some awesome square scarves to keep my neck warm in winter (not long knitted kind of scarves, but woven ones, because knitted scarves tend to make me overheat really quickly) but most of what I have seen are ugly. Paying attention to what I wear is hard work, dammit.

Guys.

Don't you feel the tie is a bit too contrasted with the rest of the outfit?

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #1390 on:** 02 Apr 2011, 04:57 »

As in stylistically or in terms of shade?

pwhodges · « **Reply #1391 on:** 02 Apr 2011, 05:09 »

Oh, shade. I guess it has a slight sheen that makes it appear a paler black.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #1392 on:** 02 Apr 2011, 05:18 »

Yes, it is a silk tie so it's pretty shiny. If I could find a matte black tie I would use that instead.

A decent optometrist should be able to stretch glasses for you.

Eris · « **Reply #1394 on:** 02 Apr 2011, 16:57 »

Well yeah, They were even tighter than I got the loosened a little, I just can't be bothered going back there and asking again. The more I wear them the looser they will get because I don't treat my glasses particularly carefully.

If you are looking for mainstream stores and stuff, Glassons and Dotti tend to have a good range of cardigan type things.

Guys, does anyone here own Toms? I'm looking into getting a pair now that it's warmer. Any advice on fitting (size down/over?), quality, or places where I can get a pair (aside from their website)?

Skibas_clavicle · « **Reply #1397 on:** 03 Apr 2011, 21:57 »

Hannah, what do you dye your hair with and how often? I really like that colour a lot. I've been meaning to tell you that for like months now!

Eris · « **Reply #1398 on:** 03 Apr 2011, 22:17 »

I don't know! I go to jimmy's lady's hair salon and the trainees practice on me so they take care of all that jazz. I get it redone every 2-3 months, by that time it is pretty faded and my regrowth makes it look pretty strange. What amazes me the most is that they never have had to bleach my hair, they just pack on the hair dye and it comes out lovely (even when all my hair was dark brown). They have magic hair dye, I guess. I will try to find out next time I get it done.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #1399 on:** 03 Apr 2011, 22:26 »

I'm pretty sure that was done at the salon we both go to, by Jimmy's girlfriend Lise.

For the record, my hair looks like this lately:

And I use this (or some variant of that is 'especially formulated for dark hair'):
