Goals for 2012~!!
^ Keep the short hair.^ Maybe have shorter hair!^ Sew!!!! In spring, probably, because spring clothes are easier.^ Collect shorter straight skirts instead of below-the-knee pencil ones, because squared-off look is more in keeping w the rest of my look than the whole '50s bombshell shape.^ Wear shoes that I don't have to fight to keep on my feet: things that lace up or have straps. This is a tragedy because I ADORE tiny little skimmers/flats that are mostly open, but they pop off when I walk and my feet can't handle the extra strain.^ Buy at least a few expensive bras

Shorter hair accomplished! Straight skirts in progress! Oxford shoes, 1 pr acquired (more still TK).Bras...2 new purchased, neither especially fancy but serviceable. This goal half met, let's say.
Not bad for early October?

I find kiddy-style ear muffs more entertaining than those headband things, if ears need to be warmed. But if anyone can make that thing fabulous, Lechera, it's you.

Also I wore those headbands made out of fleece to downhill ski in the '90s and just personally I cannot go back there style-wise.

That turban screams 'wacky knitting lady,' which is a look I *have to* endorse.

I never really could have predicted that in July of 2013 I would purchase a pair of high waisted turquoise leopard print dress pants at Target, but there they are hanging in my closet. I bought em. I haven't felt this flummoxed by a garment I brought home with me in a long time. I think they might look ok with heels, but under what circumstances would I wear them? Are they ok for work? Going out? Any old time? No clue when I will wear these bizarre dress pants.
Also I now have kitchen curtains that enjoyed a previous life as a caftan.

― free your spirit pig (La Lechera), Friday, 26 July 2013 15:26 (ten years ago) link
loungewear for casual entertaining! i think it's a concept worth revisiting.
i am having trouble imagining those pants tho
― ⚓ (elmo argonaut), Friday, 26 July 2013 15:27 (ten years ago) link
i agree with you wholeheartedlyre pants: i'll take a pic, hold on
― free your spirit pig (La Lechera), Friday, 26 July 2013 15:28 (ten years ago) link
Wd wear w heels, with little flat skimmers, or with ankle boots, based on just that description. It is possible that you'll have to schedule more rock'n'roll calendar events to wear them to tho?
― Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Friday, 26 July 2013 15:28 (ten years ago) link
i think they may be more like work pants? they would look cute with my white boots though...i just don't know where they will end up. i just knew that for some reason i had to have them. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5445/9369251555_59917bc562.jpg
― free your spirit pig (La Lechera), Friday, 26 July 2013 15:40 (ten years ago) link
i already have some scheduled, don't worry -- they will get better costuming than these pants for sure
hahaha you're all horrified by my pants
― free your spirit pig (La Lechera), Friday, 26 July 2013 16:03 (ten years ago) link
Work pants, definitely.

um LL I totally dig your pants
they could be work pants, or party pants --- I endorse you wearing them a lot :D

I recently purchased a pair of leopard print stretch-denim capris that conflicted me hugely because honestly, printed denim just reminds me of the dirtbag moms with bleached hair in my hometown
but I wear them all the time and they're kind of exciting I can't explain it
― the pen is mightier than the penisword (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 26 July 2013 16:24 (ten years ago) link
i like those LL.
my big change this year was that i stopped wearing contacts (for the most part) and started wearing glasses.
― fervently nice (Treeship), Friday, 26 July 2013 16:26 (ten years ago) link

LL when you were describing them they sounded awful but now I want them!
― kinder, Friday, 26 July 2013 17:07 (ten years ago) link
The pants are so much more classy than I expected!! I love them! (I say this as someone who owns a leopard-print twin set.) Totally work pants and I would wear them with tiny pointy flats or diminutive heels with an open vamp, but I know you like to mix things up more than I, kooky vintage girl, do.
― Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Friday, 26 July 2013 17:25 (ten years ago) link
I was going to embrace them if they were crazy/trashy/costumey, too, but I'm glad to see they're so wearable for practical things.
I will have had such a long break from anything other than beach clothes that I am kind of scared about having to dress myself for the real world again. I don't even remember what "work clothes" I have to work with back home. I got rid of a lot of stuff when I was packing up for storage.
Like I don't even know what social workers wear to work?
― quincie, Friday, 26 July 2013 17:35 (ten years ago) link
Tunic tops, stretch pants, white sports socks, and Crocs. For some reason this is my mental image.
― Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Friday, 26 July 2013 17:36 (ten years ago) link
Hahahaha you are probably not so far off. I'll try to set the bar a little higher! I'm guessing that I will be on my feet a lot more than in my whorporate job, so footwear is gonna be a problem. Crocs are *not* going to be part of the solution.
― quincie, Friday, 26 July 2013 17:44 (ten years ago) link
Check out "comfort" brands like Clarks and Naturalizer.
― Lawyer... SUAVE... (carl agatha), Friday, 26 July 2013 18:05 (ten years ago) link
You guys are totally underestimating social workers!! The ones I know who are in our general peer group are rather stylish, if not work-neutral.
