Hey, there, BiblioCat. The Body Shop has a new(ish) line of very sheer lip colors. You might want to give them a whirl.
Just out of curiousity, when people say “low cut pants”, they *are * referring to jeans you need a wax for, right? Not just jeans that rest on your hips? Because I, for one, dread the inevitable return of Mom jeans. I **like ** being able to bend at the waist.
“What Not to Wear” always seems to recommend “mid-rise pants/jeans” which seem to be a couple of inches below the belly button. While I hate that they dress everyone similar, this does seem like an excellent compromise between mommy jeans and low-rise-see-my-butt-crack-when-I-lean-over jeans.
WHHAAA??? :eek: My mind can’t (thankfully) even parse what this would look like.
oops, i made the mistake of googling… {scrubs brain}
heh…i remember an old boss of mine’s mom wanted to go for a spa weekend…she committed the cardinal sin of googling “Facials”
…hilarity ensued.
For me, it’s pretty basic what i won’t wear…
suits or anything with a tie, hate, hate, hate them, wouldn’t be caught dead in them
I won’t wear jeans. I only owned one pair since my teens, and that was because I had to wear them for a play I was in. I don’t have a pair now.
I also prefer not to wear black (I have some black t-shirts, but I one wear them when I have absolutely nothing else), except for funerals. It’s a dull color, and only an idiot would go out in the hot sun wearing it.
I won’t wear vests (other than as part of a suit). I especially don’t like down vests: it’s my arms that get cold, not my trunk.
I won’t wear gunk in my hair. Hair gel makes you look like you haven’t washed your hair.
I’m short and short-waisted, and cannot wear an Empire waist without looking like I’m about 3 years worth of pregnant.
I look really awful in most shades of yellow, although if I tweak my makeup just right I can get away with kind of a pastel ‘maize’ shade similar to “Fighting Ignorance since 1973” above.
I can wear warmer colors if my hair has some red in it, but the upkeep the last time I went red was too much, so I mostly stick with cool colors. I’m a fair-skinned brunette in my nautral state.
gigi, I have seen many, many girls wearing ruffled vinyl. It is a bad thing, and even stupider-looking than those pants with bondage straps between the knees. No, don’t google that either.
Right. I won’t wear those pants either.
There’s not too much I wont wear, as far as style. Almost anything can be pulled off if you wear it with confidence and put the right spin on it. However, my personal Rubicon is suits with short sleeves. NEVER NEVER NEVER!!!
hells no
I am so with you on that. Several of my coworkers wear those and I always cringe. Yuck.
Thanks, I’ll have to look for them.
I like the sheer lip glosses from Clinique. Nice colors, and not sticky-gloppy feeling.
I always like new ideas, though.
I basically refuse to wear Dockers. Other than that, if I do need to wear something other than jeans, I have suits that I wear, but I’m not really happy in them. It’s not that I mind wearing nice clothes, but rather just that I can’t seem to get dress pants or slacks of any kind that fit well…i.e. that don’t hike up past the tops of my ankle boots when I sit down, even though they nearly touch the floor when I’m standing.
In a desparate pinch of a late spring road trip in a rented convertible, I did wear a ball-style cap from UCLA, but otherwise I stay away visored caps of all kinds.
I’ll wear a logo T-shirt to work out in but that’s it.
Yeah, when I said it I was referring to pube-bearing, asscrack-exposing, here’s-my-underwear-whaddaya-think?, LOW LOW pants.
I like pants to hit a couple of inches below the belly button.
“Hark! I come bearing pubes!”
… BARING is what I was going for there. :smack:
I love how I notice these things as soon as I hit submit.
Aw shoot, rinni, why you wanna go and make me guffaw when my boss is a mere two feet away!? 
I would never wear what I just saw someone wearing today: a pair of distressed blue jeans with one pant letg cut off so that it’s half shorts and half jeans!
I don’t like green, yellow, or orange. I could probably get away with the first two, but I don’t like them, so I don’t wear them.
Pastels.
Prominently displayed logos. This could change if Nike or Chanel or some other brand name paid me to advertise for them. But I’m not going to pay them to be a walking billboard.
90% of all prints. I just like solids.
Rosettes, detailing, sequining, beading, etc. It’s too much.
Empire waist dresses. They don’t look good on me. (Psst. they don’t look good on you, either. Unless you’re thinking “how can I add 40 pounds to my figure and look like I’m pregnant with a huge butt?” an empire waist is probably not going to accomplish your clothing missions.)
Wrap shirts (I’m built wrong, they fall)
Broomstick skirts.
Flip-flops.
Overly chunky shoes.
A poncho.
I just recently discovered that I shouldn’t wear a-line skirts. (Why didn’t anyone ever tell me before that they made me look like a triangle?)
Strapless anything, dress, shoes, purse.
I hate those asymetrical hems which were the rage for several seasons in a row. Won’t wear 'em. Or anything orange. And I hate chopped off pants.
