I am wearing a lovely Prana top with a picture on the front that seems to forebode ecological doom in a sort of mysterious spooky way. It is a man’s top. Well, it’s not now, because I bought it. I stole one just like it in a different colour from my man. He didn’t stand a chance. It suited me better.
He’s a skinny guy, and Prana makes clothes for skinny guys. Convenient. But I once caused a friend who wasn’t paying attention to almost fall over as she misheard me describing his wardrobe, and thought I said he had very little that wasn’t Prada. Hah.
I totally don’t do labels. Apart from stealing yoga clothes, apparently. This is mostly because I am too damn lazy to shop properly, and tend to go with Target. As for Isaac Mizrahi’s Target line, a lot of it is so fugly I’m convinced he’s just trying to punish people for shopping at a chain store.
Well…I walked into the office today wearing a tee shirt that says “Schroders Cat is alive” on the front and “Schroders Cat is dead” on the back to the accompaniment of a chorus of ‘huh?’ from the sales department. Of course, walking back into the engineering tech area I got a brief glance and one “cool shirt” comment from the techs. I’m also in a fairly disreputable pair of jeans (not Bugle Boy…I’ve never owned anything that remotely sounds like ‘Bugle Boy’) and cowboy boots.
My boss said ‘A bit casual today, huh?’ to which I replied ‘Not at all…my flight leaves in 3 hours and I’m only here to annoy the techs and pick up my mail’.
I’m currently wearing my wife who I hadn’t seen in 3 weeks, but that’s another story and one best not gotten into by those with weak hearts or delicate dispositions.
Showed this to the techs to get some laffs. I was told to tell you that I look more like a ‘hispanic weasel’ <actually the tech said Mexican comadreja> (I like to think I look more like a wolf but it wasn’t MY comment) and that it’s more ‘geeky’ than ‘manly’. Shows you what THESE folks know…
I really love that TimeBridge shirt…though admittedly it’s getting a bit long in the tooth these days with the cuffs being fairly worn (of course I never wear it with the sleeves worn down so it’s all good).
I think Vox is only 16. So unless he’s fathered a child, killed a man in a duel, or saved the life of another human being, he doesn’t get hisman card for a while yet. You may wish to check the bylaws again.
^ Life is Good pajama top, Hanes for Her, Mountain Hardwear athletic pants, and Teko socks. Not working, so I’m going cazh today. I may actually even leave the house in my athletic pants to take the dog down to the lake. I’ll probably change out of my pajama top and put on a long sleeve Prana t-shirt under my Marmot jacket, though.
I’m wearing Jacob and Smart Set today, with a pair of Steve Madden shoes and Foxy accessories. Thanks for asking.
And actually, I happen to care who they’re wearing. I may have absolutely no reason to ever wear a glamorous formal ball gown, but by damn, I will live vicariously through those who do. IMO, there’s nothing wrong with keeping tabs on fashion when it’s not done slavishly.
I’ll readily admit to spending time carefully picking out my outfit when I’m not bumming around the house. It’s not necessarily about choosing brands that are fashionista approved, since I have way more no-name than I do name-brand… I just like making sure I’m wearing something that fits me properly, and that’s has a flattering colour and cut.
Abercrombie & Fitch velour khakis, Gap hoodie, old Beatles t-shirt. I used to shun Abercrombie because it’s what the “cool kids” wear, and I emphatically did not want to be like them. Then I tried a pair on, and it was luuurve. I’m short with a big butt, and their pants have enough room for the junk in the trunk without the waistband coming up to my ribcage, and I don’t have to cut off or roll up the bottoms.
Wow - I never thought this thing would last this long. It was a one-liner, a flippant observation on Grammy fashion non-sense. I saw a host ask the guest of someone who they were wearing and it was awkward when they came up with a less than stellar response. The host sort of patter them on the back and said, “That’s ok honey”…:rolleyes:
On the Huffpo Jaime Lee Curtis posted something (loosely cited). These are fake people with fake faces wearing dresses and diamonds they have been paid to wear. Being glamorous comed from inside. This is advertising.
Anyway, I hope everyone is obeying the new Pit Rules. I would be frightfully embarassed if someone were misbehaving in my thread.
