nobo, it's hard to go wrong with the plain black and white. Skinny or not-so-skinny, suave or not-so-suave, you'll look damned good.

Fashion thread, I made a purchase today!

Isn't it BEAUTIFUL. I am in love. Might go back for a pair of black and white heels, but I don't know. Hooray vintage stores!

axerton · « **Reply #353 on:** 03 Jun 2009, 02:00 »

Nobo my only thing with that suit combo is that the tie gets abit lost between a white shirt and white waistcoat, however I'm really not sure how you could remedy it without having to change the waistcoat as well - so I guess I'll vote yes

nobo · « **Reply #354 on:** 03 Jun 2009, 04:15 »

I have a few different tie options to choose from, so I can make sure that the tie is a different texture or pattern of white so that it can stand out a bit.

Interview clothes. Opinions?

Excuse the mess.

pen · « **Reply #356 on:** 04 Jun 2009, 10:11 »

I think the sweatervest thing is a little too snug to be considered appropriate interview attire, but the skirt is great! do you have any form fitted, but not tight button down shirts to go with it?

Kylos · « **Reply #357 on:** 04 Jun 2009, 11:15 »

I think I have a white one somewhere. However, all my clothes are a little tight around the chest, because I was graced with enough boob for about 3 people. Any tops I get are either too tight in the bust, or hugely baggy everywhere else.

Boobs. A blessing and a curse.

pen · « **Reply #358 on:** 04 Jun 2009, 11:22 »

Hmmm.... Then maybe a suit jacket might work if you have one? Even if your shirt is snug, the jacket will draw attention from your chest.

One of my best friends has a pretty great fashion blog, she's has a cool sense of style but she also has a pretty normal body shape/size so you don't necessarily look at it and go "Oh no! she's stick thin! I can't pull that off!" If anyone's interested I could link them to it. We talk about fashion a lot when her and I hang out, hehe.

PS: I scored some pretty wicked boots from a friend of mine. Free stuff, yeah! Pictures to come.

i bought a pair of shorts the other day. they are the only pair i own. i bought them because they were the only example of what i wanted that i could find anywhere around town and also they were super cheap. there is only one problem: they are too small in the waist (just barely) so i cannot button them. i have taken to zipping the fly all the way up and using a shoelace for a belt to keep the button down because the belt loops are ludicrously small and nothing bigger will fit.

die, fashion, die

Tyler is responsible for this outfit, which turned out to be a wonderful choice, because all the people I knew at the party (engagement party, mostly older people), told me how lovely/elegant/well-dressed I was. I need more things to wear these shoes with though. (Also, the cardigan thing came out a weird colour in those pictures. It does match the stockings though.)

Shoes:

Top/Necklace:

Best I can get of a full outfit shot:

So I went shopping with my friend tonight and we passed the fancy dresses in the store we were in and we decided to play the Lets Find the Ugliest Dress and Try It On game. Let's just say I never thought I would actually find anything as horrible as I found tonight. Photographic evidence:

Yes, that's right. It's a strapless (those straps are my bra) animal print gauzy thing over pantlegs. It is all one piece. I thought it was a dress, but boy, was I wrong. My friend and I were dying. The other women in the dressing room poked their heads out to see what was so funny and they too laughed their asses off. Let's just say if I ever go to a roller disco, I have found my outfit. But I still probably wouldn't wear it due to the fact that it's one of the ugliest things I have ever seen. But I got major laughs out of this.

Ballard · « **Reply #368 on:** 06 Jun 2009, 21:39 »

That's not appropriate roller disco attire at all.

Alex C · « **Reply #369 on:** 06 Jun 2009, 22:03 »

The funniest part is that I saw the picture and went "Wow, that's so awful it must be on purpose" before I even read the commentary; good work Linds! Mission accomplished.

Harun · « **Reply #370 on:** 07 Jun 2009, 15:48 »

The only outfit that is acceptable for roller discos is a polyester jumpsuit.

Lines · « **Reply #371 on:** 07 Jun 2009, 16:05 »

That is a jumpsuit. I think it's probably rayon and spandex or something like that, but it's still a jumpsuit. I guess you could add glitter or something to make it more 70s, but that'd just make it more ugly. But then again, that'd be the point of the game.

Hats: Y/N what kind?

I just came into the thread to ask about a hat!

I have recently adopted my mother's sun hat, to very mixed reviews. I think that it is the perfect picnic accessory, but not everyone agrees.

Fashionistas/-os, what is your verdict? Can I pull it off?

Also Linds that dress/thing is amazing.

Eris · « **Reply #373 on:** 07 Jun 2009, 21:54 »

It looks nice, and seems to go well with that dress, but it also looks too small for your head? In that photo it looks like it is kinda perched on the top of your head, when it should sit further down onto your forehead, kinda like this:

Professor Snuggles · « **Reply #374 on:** 07 Jun 2009, 23:41 »

Hat is too small but actually I kind of like it perched, you should only ever wear it if you are wearing those sunglasses too, definitely good for picnics, boat rides, strolls along boardwalks, being my girlfriend.

Ã¶de · « **Reply #375 on:** 08 Jun 2009, 07:09 »

Rad hat!

SirJuggles · « **Reply #376 on:** 08 Jun 2009, 11:13 »

Ooh did somebody mention hats? Guess what I got for my birthday!!!

This is not the best picture of it, but the others from that night did not get uploaded. And I also want to show off my very very pretty girl. She is the bestest.

edit: wow an actual worthwile pagebreak. I never thought it would happen to me.

Professor Snuggles · « **Reply #377 on:** 08 Jun 2009, 11:56 »

The girl is pretty.

The hat is kind of awkward on your head. I can't tell if it is just too big or what, but it ain't workin.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #378 on:** 08 Jun 2009, 12:28 »

Personally, I think it is awesome.

Then again, sometimes I dress like this:

Victorinia · « **Reply #379 on:** 08 Jun 2009, 18:45 »

Yeah, the hat is too small, but upon consideration I think it does sit a bit further forward on my head than shown in that picture. I decided that I'd rock it anyway.
I also love those sunglasses but I'm kind of useless in them because I don't have contacts, so I'm walking around with uncorrected -4.00 eyesight. Oh well!

SirJuggles (sorry, I don't know your name), I will lend you some of my head girth so both of our hats fit perfectly. I'm tired of 90% of women's hats not fitting properly. Deal?
Alternatively, I don't know a whole lot about men's hats, but for those who do, would tilting it back a touch help?

SirJuggles · « **Reply #380 on:** 08 Jun 2009, 22:14 »

Haha actually my head is gigantic, that hat is an extra-large because we found out a medium came nowhere near close to fitting me. I'm not sure about tilting it back, though I tend to have a big forehead when I leave it uncovered

chowburger · « **Reply #388 on:** 10 Jun 2009, 10:06 »

Okay, sorry, I stand corrected. I guess I've never looked at that picture not knowing that I was wearing a hat when it was taken.

One more attempt at a clearer photo of it (argh, I know it's still kind of small), and then I'll stop spamming this page with pictures of my face!

And thanks, Ballard!
