changing up yr style and/or new look 4 u in 2012

laurel, lame! i hate that.

i tried on jeggings yesterday and i'm still terrified of them so i didn't buy any.

i did buy some regular leggings though - my first leggings ever!

I have a couple pairs but I only wear them inside the house. That might change tonight, however, when I get that red shift dress from ASOS! :D

i bought the leggings specifically to wear with an anthropologie shirt dress i got on extreme sale, but it's also totally see-through so i need to get a slip as well. also some static cling spray. this is one high-maintenance dress. however, it has bunnies on it!

this is one high-maintenance dress

lol

bunnies!

so much for changing up my style.

today i am wearing a motley crue shirt, a denim jacket + army pants and hiking boots. nagl.

I wear leggings all the time. As pants, too. Breaking fashion rules all over Denver.

i wonder where is a good place to find jeggings - forever 21? urban outfitters? does h&m have them? do i just need to size up until my legs don't look like sausage links or is that unavoidable?

i love the leggings i got at uniqlo

i have some hue ones that are alright - they stretch out a lot though, probably only get a season's worth of wear out of them.

i think century 21 might be a good place to look for jeggings but can't be positive. i do remember buying tights there...

Can't speak for jeggings but the F21 leggings I've purchased have been my favourites of all retailers!

my favourite jeggings were purchased from an urban outfitters in santa monica over 2 years ago, are very (black) jeans-like and i have yet to find their like again :/

Important dress update:

I LOVE IT!

but

It doesn't quite fit right. I ordered a size up from what I'd normally order because I was nervous and while it fits pretty much perfectly through the hips it's too broad around the chest (I'd have to get the seams by the armholes taken in) and upper belly. It sort of looks like a sack if I put it on right now. So I was thinking I might order a size down and keep my fingers crossed that it isn't too tight in the hips. I will hang on to this one in the meantime because if it is too small then I can send that one back and get this one tailored? This sounds like a lot of trouble but I really really like it!!

Lex - I just bought the houndstooth skirt!

actually i looked here and hated all the jeggings i tried on!!

i love saying jegging. jegging jegging jegging.

enbb, i've heard lots of asos sizing is weird, which is why i've never ordered anything. what is this houndstooth skirt you speak of, houndstooth is my favorite.

w00t, E! Houndstooth skirt was in overstock or skirt section of eShakti iirc.
Your dress sounds like it doesn't fit you in the same way mine don't - I have to take those bad boys in to get tailored! I don't mess around with shipping. Hopefully not too expensive to take the busts in a tad.

Maybe I should just get it tailored. The size down would likely still be too big under the arms. Hmmm.

I just ordered the houndstooth skirt, too. We're all going to match!

Hahaha. Awesome.

I'm pretty excited about that one tbh.

i successfully purchased two pairs of jeggings from uniqlo! the future is now.

i am wearing my uniqlo leggings under a sweet b/w polka dotted sweater dress with red knee socks and i haven't washed my hair in three days
lookin fly

Go dancing!

i'm going!
it doesn't start for a while

Of course, I forgot the extra hour. Sorry to rush you!

i'm looking at big polka dotted sweaters on ebay right now!

would you guys pretend not to know me if i rolled up to the club wearing this?

We wouldn't have to pretend. We can't see your face!

People need to stop tight rolling their pants. I say this as an old person who tight rolled my pants in high school, got wise to how dumb it looked, and stopped, only to spend my college years watching the weird, gross phenomenon of frat boys tight rolling their khakis over their suede Bass oxfords. The worst was dressed up frat boys wearing jackets, ties, and tight rolled oxfords. And baseball caps. And Bass oxfords. Also disgusting: frat boys in the dining hall wearing sweatpants and Bass oxfords.

i roll my pants but it's mostly to keep them from getting caught in the gears of my bike

as part of my fashion goals for this winter i went on a major thrifting spree and got lots of brightly colored hats and sweaters

That has a practical purpose. As long as you don't do it when you are dressed up and taking the bus. Then I am mentally comparing you to state school frat boys c. 1990-4 and you have to ask yourself if that is really what you're going for.

i should not drink and ebay. i won a giant sweater with alpacas on it for $5

congratulations on your win! x

would wear!

AAAALPACAS!

that is a nice sweater, but i imagine the sleeves are as long as my legs?

(but it is not my sweater, so that's ok!)

Is it made out of alpaca yarn?

Thanks to suggestions from the sandbox, I now find myself the owner of 16 pairs of black crew socks. My question now: should get rid of my white undershirts to match this, or is that just not that important?

why did the sandbox suggest 16 pairs of black socks?????????????

also why would your undershirt need to match anything? it goes *under* stuff. also black undershirts are visible under white/light/thin shirts

On the sandbox everybody hated white socks.

Like, "Oh fuck, you're wearing white socks? God, I hate white socks worse than cargo shorts, flip-flops and Dave Matthews Band combined."

and dirk wears them

yeah but there are more colors besides white and black

and more kinds of sock besides crew

Well, the talk was specifically about casual socks.

even casual socks can be other colors

The crew socks at Kohls came in black, white, or grey. White was out. Grey seemed a little weird. They didn't have blue, which a lot of people on the thread seemed to recommend, to be honest. But the most important thing was "anything but white", if i recall correctly.

I just bought 16 white undershirts. I replenish them every couple of years.

I don't think you did wrong, beachville, but you don't need to change your undershirts

all my socks are black and from one mftr, why, well after I do laundry I can just pair them without thinking
