I honestly think everyone should wear what they want/and feel comf with!

Sure. It is just good to remember that what you wear is always interpreted as a message, whether you like it or not. Just like the way you speak and otherwise behave. I think some people forget that.

I have a feeling you always look super cute and put together though!

I try to. It's not even hard to do - I have mainly just given thought to it while buying stuff. No 5€ t-shirts unless that's the 2nd hand price. Only clothes that actually do fit me and make me look good, I am super picky about colours, cuts and fit. I for example know that neither loose or tight ones make me look good, it should be fitted or semi-fitted, and I know which shades look good on me. (Knowing that actually makes it faster to browse through shops. I can often "disqualify" 3/4 of many shops in an instant, sometimes all of it.) The tones I use almost all go together.

And my wardrobe isn't super big either if I don't count the items waiting for my weight to get back to normal. My clothing budget isn't that big, and I prefer quality over quantity.

Hi JP!

 

[Strixaluco]

I am always so jealous of men's pockets.

Ah, vintage style dresses. They often have proper pockets.

I also recently had pants sewn for me, and demanded proper pockets. Haven't had as good pants in a while. Comfy AND stylish.

Do you want to be my personal shopper? I look like shit in everything

Hi JP!

Hi Nebs!

Do you want to be my personal shopper? I look like shit in everything

I could. Have you ever thought of taking colour analysis? I did both that and style analysis. Not the cheapest ones, but they have saved me both time and money.

 

[jaF0]

haha, no, dresses are not an option for work, sometimes I have to be in rigging and harnesses for aerial work, climbing ladders, in ceilings etc. so I have to wear pants.

Circus performer?

Same here! Which is why I wear the same 4 things all year

I know what colors work, the problem is finding clothes that fit correctly and that I actually like. The last time I went shopping for a dress to wear to a wedding, everything was SO ugly.

Probably means you haven't just found the colour tones and clothing cuts/fits that would look good on you. There are actually years when I can't buy almost anything comtemporary, because the fashion just doesn't suit me.

I am so uncomfortable in dresses… it’s always shorts or pants for me.

Right? My closet is full but I hate everything in it

The problem is there for me too! Some years I buy very little, except for replacing old underwear, and some years I by all the more. (I usually always have something I can wear for weddings etc, so that I don't have to panic when nothing in shops please me. Of course it means I need to stay in the same size... sometimes tricky)

Finding a seamstress can also be a good idea.

Why not get rid of what you hate? It's just taking up valuable space.

heat-induced brainfart sorry

so glad I click all the links

no I am not near that interesting. just a computer geek, but I work on the design, implementation, and maintenance of certain types of datacenters, many have types of satellite or other communication options. Thus my work is not always at ground level.

I definitely prefer shorts and pants. Mostly because I never know what weird nonsense I will get into on any particular day. Dresses aren’t uncomfortable and I like offering that easy access but for the most part they aren’t sensible for me.

indeed, very glad I click all the links

I’m not going to lie, my first thought was the circus, but then reality kicked in

 

[Justadesperatewifeandmom]

color analysis,

hum, pants black because black. Anything that extends uptop should be brightly colored or patterned as it is a miracle if I make it through the day without spilling something on my boobs, so at least it matches. That is my analysis for myself

Exactly!

I am somewhat impressed you whipped out lululemon here

Well I am a wealth of knowledge for things that are somewhat but not really impressive.

 

[Justadesperatewifeandmom]

Have you tried men's pants in your size?

When I was thin, I used to only wear mens jeans. however, if not thin, I gather too much weight in my hips and ass for them lol.

 

[Justadesperatewifeandmom]

Well then, I look forward to more not really impressive random knowledge haha.
