Some friends and I were talking about a “Come dressed as the honoree” party where you (obviously) dress up like the guest of honor, birthday person, etc. I said I couldn’t think of what people would wear to be dressed as me and every single one of my friends (and a few I polled independently) said “Black pencil skirt and 4” heels". (Hey! I sez indignantly, I don’t always wear black pencil skirts, I also have a dark grey tweed pencil skirt and what about the houndstooth… :smack: )
Anyway, what’s your indentifying outfit? Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts and birks? Boot cut jeans, trendy trainers, a cute top? Khaki pants and navy polo (like my aunt’s default outfit that gets her frequently mistaken for a Blockbuster employee)? Heavy metal/strip club t-shirt and black jeans? Pastel track suits? What would your friends wear to your party?
Oxford shirt over "khaki"s in any of 8 or so colors with New Balances in either brown or black. Belt and tie, and the watch from Stranger Than Fiction.
Alas, my fashion sense is stuck thoroughly on page 58 of the Land’s End catalog.
They’d wear Wrangler jeans, a plaid flannel shirt over a white cotton tee-shirt, and work boots with white socks. If it’s warm weather, they leave off the plaid shirt and replace the jeans with work shorts.
My closet is stocked almost entirely from J.C. Penney’s men’s section. Typically, St. John’s Bay long-sleeve twill shirt, Dockers pants, Rockport shoes. Boring, I know. But comfy and stylishly anonymous.
Skirt and sweater – I have a full array of both so can’t narrow it down any better than that. The sweater is almost always over a turtleneck, though, and I’m wearing opaque tights (black, navy, brown, or cream) and flat, comfortable shoes.
Summer: Skirt and a solid-color “dress” tee, bare legs, sandals.
Jeans (blue or black) and either a nice T or a short-sleeve blouse, and black or white sneaks. If it’s cool, maybe a cardigan. Comfy and not in the least bit stylish, that’s me.
Long patterned skirt (and top) and striped socks in vivid contrasting colors, the socks mainly black and [other color] stripes. Except that I don’t think I have hardly anything in yellow or lime green. I tend to favor reds and blues.
Jeans and a black (or white) v-neck t-shirt from The Gap. Black flip flops or Converse. Baseball cap.
That’s daytime though. Nighttime is jeans with a sexy black (or white) v-neck shirt/sweater and black, heeled, pointy boots. I trade the baseball cap for jewelry.
