Thursday Fashion Thread

Hey everyone!  How are you doing today?

Went shopping yesterday - imagine that!  LOL... Well, I bought a new purse - originally $60 for $20... and some shirts and sweaters.  All on 50-75% clearance, of course - oh and underwear.

Seems the smallest size underwear in a "store" is size 5.  Which is ok with me, since that's what I wear... but I wonder where people find underwear that's smaller than that - I KNOW there's a lot of smaller people out there than me....  and I'd HATE it if I had to go to the childrens department.. but I know thats probably what has to be done at times.

I cleaned my closet out earlier this week and got rid of 3 kitchen size trash bags of shoes, and 7 kitchen size trash bags of clothes - all the clothes were things I didn't wear - even found some XL in the closet... hmmm... told myself I WAS NOT going to be replacing them- uh huh....

I'm off to BF's house so I won't be responding much (unless he turns HIS computer over to me).  Its in Never Never Land of No Internet...  he has an aircard.... I just get air....

I really need to figure out how to get new pictures taken of me that look ok.  I HATE the mirror thing but also don't like asking people to take pictures OF me.  Seems when I take pics in the mirror - they just don't turn out well. 

Oh - and I'll be posting some pics on my profile of my Breast Lift/Augmentation probably early next week.  It will be "friends only" and passworded... so if you want to see - and aren't already a friend, please send me a friend request.  Please also tell me you're from the LW board...

I know what you mean about the asking people to take pictures of you thing...it is always kind of embarrassing. lol  I think we all need cameras with tripods and remote controls...that would work and we could take our pics to our little hearts content! hehe

Anyway, congrats on your bargains and have big fun without your man!

I have a camera with a timer and used it on occasion.  Its a real PITA - and a LOT of trial and error to get it just right. 

Hmm...I think the only place I went shopping this week was CVS and then forgot to get boot socks that I went in there for. Who the heck wears out boot socks? Who walks rain or shine and ice or snow?

What are boot socks?

Slacks socks?  Knee highs? I dunno whatcha call them. I wear them with boots in the winter...boot socks. lol

Closet shopping! Way back last fall, DD and I hit the "garage sale" at the Montessori school she used to work at in a VERY affluent area. I scored some very cute and pricy label stuff at very low prices.

One of the items was a pieced suede skirt in a chevon pattern from Cache. There were no dressing rooms, so I took a chance that it would fit. It didn't. However, I didn't get stuff to Goodwill either, so it sat in the pile. Wednesday, while snowbound, I listed and packed all the stuff to take to Goodwill. I ran across the skirt and tried it on - and it fit! Of course, I can't wear it yet: it's a bit short, and the chevrons extend the sag lines on my thighs until I get those done (it's an hysterical look - I did take a mirror/phone cam pic, but I'm on the wrong computer to post it. Will later) which is not at all pretty. But later on - whoo hooo!

Very cool!  Did you try anything else on on the Goodwill pile that you didn't think would fit?

I definitely know what you mean by saggy legs... I rarely wear shorter style shorts because I hate the way they wiggle and flop... glad board shorts are popular - hope they stay in style too...

Looking forward to seeing your pics!
 

No - the rest of it I knew was too big, that's what it was doing there in the first place!

See, I'm ok with swimsuits... of course, I generally get the swim-minis from Lands End, which hide the worst, but in a cute suede skirt, I want those thighs to look better!

(still on the laptop... DH still on the desktop...)

Ok, so the pic is huge... but I got it to copy!  The two on the left are the new skirt... can't see the thigh wrinkles, but they are there!  The one on the right... I just can't believe the contrast!  If I EVER get that big again... somebody shoot me ok??  (and seriously - THAT was a lightweight??)
