    You guys are also talking pretty monochrome; something like a burgundy vest with a tweed suit is completely boss and doable.

    sure, but again, the rest of the outfit has to go together and you're still going to look p victorian

    I got hella compliments on my suit yesterday, including several "you should dress like that all the time"s from my friends

    If only I were capable of living my daily life without dropping or spilling things on myself...

    I just started looking at tweed blazers on Ebay and that was a mistake. There are so many, for so cheap, and I don't know what size I am right now

    Well if they're that cheap it sounds like you can buy a couple and find out!

    I think I actually look presentable for once in my life today and that's a pretty cool feeling. I should do this more often.

    this is so important to me that if I argue with someone important in my life, I will usually go home, shower, dress up or down, and not go anywhere

    Um, how long has TJ Maxx had online shopping on their website and why was I not made aware of this? One more reason why I need a job like, yesterday.

    Shopping news!

    Almost every new shirt and dressand tunic this season is hihigh waisted.

    Which is great for most people. Me? Well I could have found some amazing maternity clothes today.

    Ugh. So pregnant looking.

    On a positive note I picked up some perfume! Dita von Teese's rouge. Smells yum.

  • VeldrinVeldrin Sham bam bamina Registered User regular
    Aw darn it.

    I had a brain fart while trimming my beard this morning and buzzed a huge bit off that I didn't want to and it was basically unserviceable, so I've had to start over.

    I hate empire waists so much for the same reason.

    Yeah, I think I'm giving up on that new skin care routine. Three weeks in and my face is possibly the worst it's ever been.

    I think I'm just destined to have shit skin.

    empire waists are my best friend! they hide my stupid bulging tummy

    some of them DO make it look a bit pregnanty but the boobs tend to alleviate that effect somewhat

    it might just be that I was wearing the absolute WRONG bra to go clothes trying on today. Although that was not even my intended outing today.

    But I did find some that looked good on despite the bra and I can only imagine will look amazing on with the right bra.

    This was one of them: http://www.citychic.com.au/BRODERIE-SWING-DRESS.aspx?p6183893&cr=2edw__022344

    I can't find the other one.

    Man, just because the first thing you try doesn't work, it doesn't mean the next won't.

    i am on the downswing of the rollercoaster that is the relationship i have with my hair long, as usually occurs in Fall. it's all wispy and annoying and refuses to stay put and sleek while i'm at work, plus it feels really severe to have it back in such a way that it feels appropriate and doesn't make me overheat (ie, bunned.) and i want to CHOP IT ALL OFF. i saw a customer with her sides shaved and long hair on top into a ponytail, and i'm tempted. i also haven't had a haircut in almost a year, so maybe i just need some professional intervention.
    that was a post courtesy of 3 in the morning grumbling.

    ahava, isn't it amazing the difference the right/wrong undergarments make in an outfit? like architecture and having a strong foundation...

    i am normally not a fan of ruffles on dresses, but the ones on there are minimal and kinda remind me of a ruffly tuxedo shirt. anyway, that is a cute retro-referencing dress without being kitschy, and a lovely color and print. i imagine it payed nicely off your skintone -- blues always seem to look particularly nice on dark-haired fair-skinned folk.

    @pooka: i think that's the nicest way I've ever heard myself described. dark-haired and fair-skinned. like snow white or something.

    I love you for that.

    I had high hopes for getting my wardrobe updated this quarter, but between classes, surgery, and past-due rent I have next to nothing left for my hair and clothes

    not that my money wasn't well-spent

    but I have a shopping buddy picked out that shares a similar sense of style
    and then I have Becca for helping me shop outside my comfort zone

    come February, I'm going to chomping at the bit for shopping

    Aww c'mon, a little less hate for the Canadian tuxedo, okay?

  • MadEddyMadEddy Creepy house watching youRegistered User regular
    Y'know, growing up, I always heard it called a "Texas Tuxedo," but everyone else in the world seems to know it as the Canadian.

    Re: Drive
    Refn explained that the stylized appearance of the film is in part due to his colour-blindness, as he can't see mid-colours.

    As a colorblind dude I dig this a lot

    Just stare vacantly and take a full minute to respond whenever someone says something to you.
