I think those outfits have great potential. Zany costumes are the best. I really like the playsuit, especially how the bust looks kinda pin-up girl classic - great cross with the space-material. Some strong accessories would really make them pop.

I wouldn't go over-the-top makeup personally, but you could make something cool and striking work.

Are jeans and a tshirt still acceptable to wear to non-fancy-dress occasions? y/n

I can' think of a situation where that isn't appropriate.
For a casual get together, certainly. If it were something a little nicer, like a birthday party, I'd probably wear something with a collar, but that's just me.

Every time I wear that shirt, I get evil stares off all the old people I walk past.

I just bought these things!

This vest!

This blouse!

This jacket!

Also some dark skinny jeans and brown boots.
I am looking for some sort of red scarf to rock for winter.

I like this one but it is perhaps too big?

Tell me I did the right thing. Also suggest ways to accessorise.

calenlass · « **Reply #3565 on:** 24 Mar 2010, 20:36 »

The first blouse is beautiful! A+ good show

I'm having a lot of trouble finding a good leather jacket. Any ideas?

Edit: How about this?

Ballard · « **Reply #3567 on:** 25 Mar 2010, 05:57 »

I am as well.

I'm looking for a jacket that is black leather but isn't in the punk rock bomber style that it seems most leather jackets (at least in the > $200 price range) are (like the one Cire posted).

redglasscurls · « **Reply #3568 on:** 25 Mar 2010, 06:45 »

Second blouse is pretty, first one...ehhh. I'm sure you can make it work but what is going on with the back? How are you supposed to put it on by yourself?

Something Witty · « **Reply #3569 on:** 25 Mar 2010, 11:39 »

No, she means "bomber jacket". The original biker jackets were bomber jackets because the people who mostly rode motorcycles and therefor wore leather jackets were pilots returning from WWII.

RGC, you might look into motorcycle shops and check out some of the new style bike jackets. Like the top one on this page that I can't photobucket with my phone. http://benliles.wordpress.com/2009/03/11/demetri-martin-quote-of-the-week-2/

Manda I saw a lady wearing a blouse exactly like that on the bus once and pretty much fell in love with her, by purchasing this blouse I am one step closer to being The Lady On The Bus Everyone Falls In Love With and not The Scruffy Girl Who Had To Run And Has Hair And Makeup And Purse Contents Everywhere.
I am not entirely sure how I will put it on either but I think it will be interesting!

Emaline · « **Reply #3571 on:** 25 Mar 2010, 15:19 »

I think you made swell purchases, Lunchy.

And I originally couldn't figure out how to put that shirt on either, but I think I have it figured out. You put it on backwards, and then pull your arms back in and turn it around. Yep. Completely elegant and full of grace.

calenlass · « **Reply #3572 on:** 25 Mar 2010, 15:34 »

Or you just... do the buttons? Like you would on the back of a dress, or something? I don't see what the potential problem is.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #3573 on:** 25 Mar 2010, 15:35 »

I don't think I'd have trouble with it, but my elbows are double-jointed (Katie, am I totally hallucinating that you also have double-jointed elbows? Or are weirdly flexible, or something?)

jmrz · « **Reply #3574 on:** 25 Mar 2010, 15:41 »

I don't really have anything (that I can think of) that buttons at the back. But with that blouse, I would probably just leave all the buttons done up except the top one or two, so I could just pull it over my head. Then do those top two buttons up.

calenlass · « **Reply #3575 on:** 25 Mar 2010, 15:43 »

May I guess I am flexible-r than everyone else? I didn't think so, except in the legs, but maybe.

It says so on the website but just in case: These pants are cut incredibly slim so they recommend that you buy a size up from yr usual, fyi

What is it with all you people and skinny jeans? I can't stand them.

They are flattering on some body types?

Everyone I see wearing them looks pretty lame.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #3588 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 15:22 »

At this point you should start looking for the common factor in all those situations.

(Hint: it's you.)

Nodaisho · « **Reply #3589 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 15:25 »

Or the skinny jeans.

sean · « **Reply #3590 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 16:02 »

sorry for wanting to wear clothing that fits my form.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #3591 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 16:12 »

Fit your form like the casing of a sausage fits the meat, you mean. You can have clothes that fit without being that skinny. I like straight-leg or slightly tapered jeans. Honestly, I wouldn't be able to fit in the jeans I see "fashionable" people wearing. They have absolutely no leg muscle, my calves are almost as big as some of their thighs.

LeeC · « **Reply #3592 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 16:16 »

are superman shirts taboo?

Lunchbox · « **Reply #3593 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 16:18 »

I like skinny-leg jeans. Lots of people like skinny-leg jeans. They are currently fashionable. I am cool with that.
if you don't like them, don't wear them, but you will be deemed super unhip. If you are cool with that, okay.

Eris · « **Reply #3594 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 16:28 »

Also, 'skinny' doesn't necessarily mean skin-tight. Sure, there are some stupidly tight jeans out there, that do look pretty dumb a lot of the time, but some skinny jeans still have room to move in them. I have some skinny jeans that I wear a fair bit, and I can bend down in them! They don't take any more effort to put them on than my other jeans! I look good in them! I will probably buy some more skinny jeans when I can afford to and will enjoy wearing them and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

so neener neener neener.

Lines · « **Reply #3595 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 16:32 »

I like skinny jeans I can move in and people don't see every line in. Slim cut is more preferable, but I'll do either. I can't do pants with legs that are too wide or they make my legs look stumpy, which is not cool.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #3596 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 16:33 »

That was my point about the common element, it's not the jeans, it's your perception of them.

Guys, I think CBBC is catching. Everything I say seems to be easily comprehended and have a neat moral at the end.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #3597 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 16:36 »

In my case, like I said, I can't wear skinny-leg jeans. And I think that they look terrible on a lot of people. And I think I've got a bit of a blue-collar bias with regards to jeans that don't look like they could be beat to hell.

I don't mind slim-fitting ones, but the ones that are skin-tight? They look good on very few people.

And stop posting while I'm trying to reply to the people that posted while I was writing my post.

ImRonBurgundy? · « **Reply #3598 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 18:37 »

I don't think anyone on the pro-skinny jeans side of this discussion is actually talking about the kind that are skintight.

tania · « **Reply #3599 on:** 26 Mar 2010, 18:58 »

skinny leg jeans are one of those fashion things where instead of being inherently attractive or unattractive on people they seem to just take whatever is already there and amplify it, so good looking people with good bodies look even more amazing and people like me who are short and have fat butts look even shorter and fatter.
i am therefore obligated to hate skinny jeans, although really i think they look pretty fantastic on a lot of people and am just jealous that i'll never be able to wear them.
