What do you wear?(Non-cycling)

Hi all! :D
Okay, I'm making this up as I go along. It's a continuation of a conversation I had with my sis last night. Apparently I have a "style" and didn't know it. So, I'm wondering what everyone else's non-cycling "style" is:
Here's mine:
Jeans-Levi 501's or Old Navy (Yes I wear boy jeans because quite frankly I hate the tight, skinny, icky girls jeans)
Shirts-Plain T-shirts, henley's and chamois shirts
Shoes-Merrill tennis shoes, Birkenstock type sandals (not Birks), hiking boots, running shoes
Shorts-cargo (usually down to my knee)
Jackets-Columbia fleece, brown denim jacket, black leather
Accessories-messenger bags (NO PURSES), silver St. Christopher necklace, big chunky watch(Casio G Shock Mudman), usually a ball cap
Colors-browns, black, dark green, deep reds, various shades of blue
(diversity in my wardrobe means I find something I like and buy it in the colors that appeal to me) LOL!
So what do you all wear?

For work
Casual pants: jeans, cords, chinos, usually paired with a cashmere sweater.

Practical, but cute in my mind, shoes. Right now I'm wearing a pair of Merril Mary Janes. I have a pair of Keen sneakers that stay at work all the time for the days I ride my bike and need to change.

I always wear earrings, some of them are quite elegant. But most often it's a pair of white gold sea turtles that Thom had made for me by a guy in Hawaii. My watch is an Omega Seamaster. Expensive, but it has survived the I way treat it for about 8 years now. That's about 8 times longer than any previous watch I had. :D

Veronica

Most of my wardrobe is from LLBean. :rolleyes:

Relaxed fit jeans (aka Mom Pants :D ) in a variety of colors

Simple sweaters or solid color "dressy" T-shirts. Not pastels - mostly deep reds, navy, mossy greens, brown, tan, black. A lot of my stuff is deep mauve (sort of a grayish-purple).

In the summer, mostly Keen or Dansko mary-jane type sandals (closed toe so I don't have to worry about how yuk my toenails are).

In the winter, Dansko closed-back clogs, or Ecco slip ons (kind of like Merrils).

I have a pair of very small simple gold hoop earrings that I wear 99% of the time.

My big fashion accessory: Smartwool socks! I'm amassing quite the collection. :cool:

My work wardrobe really presents the quandary every morning.

Which black fleece pants?
Which wool or microfiber turtle neck?
Which fleece pullover?

Then there is the horrible commute down the hall.

Someone has to do it. :(

Lots of black. Some sand, brown, red. I love silk knit tops. Very rarely a blouse.
One out of about three main necklaces. No make-up.

I do get to wear blue jeans but I don't when I have an outside appt.
Never heels and only rarely shoes that clickety-clock, plus they kill my arches. In the office I can wear a pair of sandals.

I keep a couple changes of clothes at work so I can come in in grungy bike clothes.


For off-work, more blue jeans and a few t-shirts and tops, some abit more hippie-looking than the work stuff. Plus sweat pants for hanging out on weekend mornings.

Boy I'd love to telework.

I am beginning to believe I have no style and that is just fine with me. I would think my whole closet would scream casual

Jeans nearly year round and I get to wear them to work- Whatever is cheap. Seriously. I have several pairs of flare leg juniors jeans. They are low rise because I like to think they make me look like I have more than 1" of torso. No brand names on this rear end. In summer sometimes I wear mid length olive, khaki or denim shorts. Usually a lose fit, hit about where my bike tan ends so I look silly and I don't care.

Shirts- lots of tee shirts (especially from Texas A&M), plain colored cotton tee shirts, plain sweaters and solid colored rib turtle necks but my thought is just plain. Every color under the rainbow but orange, it looks vile on me. My favorite is brown. I won't stand out in the crowd but I stopped caring about that in about 8th grade.

Shoes- In the summer I live in Teva Mush flip flops, the ones with the crazy criss cross straps. In the winter I rotate Keen low top hikers, chunky heeled brown boots, tennis shoes. My favorite shoes? Some cheap $15 jobbies I had to get last year in Florida at Walmart because I forgot to pack my own! :p

My hair? Pin straight and mid back in length. Decided I like this because I can go every other day without washing it by throwing it in a pony tail on the non-wash day. Sometimes I get feisty and curl it, mostly no. I dye it but that is the only fuss for it.

Jewelry? Every day is the same: Polar Watch (green), Aggie Ring, Wedding and Engagement ring (pretty flashy by my standards), tiny silver hoops, tiny diamond studs mom gave me in the second hole, a small diamond teardrop pendant. When I am dressed nice I have a nicer Bulova watch.

I do wear eye liner, neutral eye makeup (mostly earth tones), mascara and foundation daily. I rarely put on lip stick. I am happy with Ama just as she is, my "cute" friends think am too plain and should do more. My husband thinks I am a knock out anytime. I love my husband. :D

Ok, maybe there are 2 "me's"--or more....

I would love to wear everything in the Title Nine catalog. IF I was talk, thin and athletically built. Oh yeah, and had loads of $$$.

Work me:
Dress pants. Neutral colors....black, grey, brown.
Tops are usually a pull over type, but synthetic knit w/ patterns. No suits or collared shirts/blouses.
Shoe....yep I wear heels. I go slickly clack. I DO LOVE shoes. And would own a million kinds...but I have a very small foot and I am hard to fit.
make up--always to work.
Jewelry...depends on outfit.

Casual me:
OK I live in FLORIDA...
Shorts...long or knee length, I try and find columbia or north face on sale. Khaki type. Neutral colors
Tops: dry weave, active wear, t-shirt and lots of cami's. The less clothing the better! (I hate winter when I have to wear clothes!)
Shoes: flops...I have a pair of Reef flops I got in Hawaii about 4 years ago...talk about my feet and shoes being one!
jewelry...causal, some of the same stuff I wear all the time. Diamond studs or other silver dangles. Rings I always have on (silver). Necklace or bracelet if going somewhere and to match outfit. (I have some stuff I have made in the past).
makeup--mascara...never leave home without it! (mostly).

Hair....(work and other). I recently went to the "bob". it is darling, but I miss the pony tail. So most days my hair is straighten and loose in the bob.

Pathetically simple.

Boot-cut jeans, tan clogs (winter - closed back, summer - open back) and solid tops, because I can't match colors - round necks or turtle necks. Nothing with buttons. Hate buttons. My sister has an AMAZING sense of style, so she sends me her hand-me-downs. (At 53/46, are we too old for hand-me-downs? Didn't think so!) So, my wardrobe, oddly enough, comes from Target and REI, with a sprinkling of Neimans and Bloomingdales.

No jewelry, hair long and straight, minimal makeup to work, nothing on weekends.

Boring, really...

Katluvr did a pretty good job summing things up for me. I'm split personality too.

Work: Dress slacks, skirts, dresses, try my best for natural fibers. I usually wear a blazer or nice sweater to cope with the cool a/c in the office. Tops are often "shells", my JazzFest camisoles, or blouses with collars. Flats or low heels, but yesterday I wore 3 inch spikes :eek: and didn't fall! Favorite store is Banana Republic (afterall I live in one). Favorite necklace - my fleur-de-lis. Have 3 or 4 different beaded lanyards for my ID to color coordinate with my outfits or time of year.

Field work: cargo pants or shorts, polo shirt (with work logo), or one of my fish T-shirts. Muck boots, hiking boots, or keen sandals.

Home: I live in south Louisiana, which is similar to south Florida. Supposed to be 80 and muggy outside today! So I wear sundresses much of the year, or things with elastic waistbands, T-shirts. If I plan to be presentable in public, then jeans or khakis with a decent top, with my Earth shoes, keen sandals, or birkenstocks. I have been known to wear birkenstocks with socks.

I have no style. Either that or I have multiple style personalities. Some days I look like I dressed straight out of the LL Bean catalog and other days I'm wearing a Talbots graphic print silk skirt and bright coral twinset like someone who would be comfortable at a DAR tea. I have professional suits and nice work outfits for the days when that is warranted, then I'll turn around and wear one of the funkier items from Boden or my cowskin giraffe print boots and multicolored sweater.

On weekends I'm more predictable--solid colored shirts/sweaters over jeans or khaki pants or shorts.

Sarah

I actually refer to my winter clothes as my winter uniform.

Work: Casual neutral colored dress pants-think Old Navy and a turtleneck sweater.

Outside of work- Jeans and a turtleneck sweater.

Cant forget the Uggs (I'm from Michigan where it gets COLD) or moccasins.

In the summer you will usually find me in a simple cut, bold print summer dress. For work, I'll throw a short sleeve sweater over the cami straps

For those of you I have not met, I am picturing headless bodies dressed in whatever you're describing... :D

Today: "Patent leather" rubber calf high rain boots, jeans, a Martin & Osa longsleeve tee and a sweater. (I had to go to a site that involved a landslide and a lot of clay mud. :D)

Working at Home: jeans, t-shirt/sweater/microfiber sweatshirt, clogs (Clarks, generally).

Office: generally casual: cords or jeans, sweaters, more martin & Osa stuff (when I can afford it). Summertime: skirts, blouses and cloggy type shoes.

Court or mediations: Classic lawyer stuff: black, blue or gray suits. Some floral, tweedy, etc., so it's not just solid colors. Most of my stuff now is Caslon (the Nordstrom brand), Talbotts, Jones NY. I also do a lot of skirts with sweaters. Shoes: Boots, Franco sarto heels (thick heel, super comfy), Clarks dress shoes. I like some color, so I have red Clarks pumps that I love with a black suit/skirt and also these fantastic green mary jane type heels that go great with a green/blue wooly spring type suit.

ETA: Most of my clothes these days are covered with a thin layer of yellow dog hair.

Office: depends on what I'm doing that day.

Meetings with the public/high-ranking staffers, etc, or working in the office all day: business casual. Dress pants, sweaters, boots or heels. I try to "play dress up" at least 1 day a week. My office is super casual and people can get away with practically anything clothing-wise, but I feel better about me when I dress more business-like. I might swap for nice jeans some days. Summers are more casual- jeans, skirts, polo shirts, and sandals.

Fieldwork: Jeans, t-shirts, steel-toed boots, and a hooded sweatshirt if it's chilly. Carhartts when it's cold.

Weekends: Jeans, t-shirts, sweaters. I'm in a vest phase right now 'cuz its fall- wear them with everything! Comfy shoes- sneakers, oxfords, clogs.

I love this! This is fun. Hope you all think so too.

Okay, I gotta add some stuff about my "wardrobe":
I work at a hospital so it's scrubs for me. I hate 'em.
I pretty much wear what I described all year round. I do alternate jeans with cargo pants and some Columbia pants that I really, really love and find on sale whenever I can. Usually dark green, gray, or tan.
Hair is short, tiny bit longer than a pixie cut (at least that's what my sis told me...I have no clue) with red highlights (I'm my sister's work in progress)
When I HAVE to look nice I have a couple of pant suits with short jackets.
My only button up shirts are Chamois shirts.

Question, what is a mary jane type sandal?

I would love to get a pair of clogs but I never know which kind to get.

Okay, I'm done.

Snort:D
Must be getting a little nippy in your part of the world by now. Have a hot chocolate on that long commute for me.

As far as style goes well I think as I get older I'm turning into a hippy. I hate uncomfortable clothes so if its cute it must also be super comfy. Love jewellery and thanks to my time in the USA I have lots of unusual (well at least for Aust) stuff from designers around California. My favourite at the moment would be Presh.
http://www.presh.net/about.html

Grayson, your style sounds a lot like mine, and I like it. I'm like you minus the ball cap, and with girls jeans, and in summer tight-ish t-shirts, the brighter the colors the better. I like long cargo shorts and Vans. Some small-ish earrings every day. And I'm lucky because I get to dress like this at work. And I commute to work on my bike wearing said outfits, too.

Usually a very short swingy type skirt over black leggings or black stretch capris.
A simple pullover top (wool in winter).
Hiking shoes/boots of some type, depending on weather.

Colder.... I add a heavy wool vest, more leggings and pullover wool tops, a wool earflap hat, neck gaiter, gloves.

My every day clothes are very bike-friendly, so I don't need to change much to jump on my bike in the middle of the day to do an errand. I like that aspect.

Most of my clothes are solids, I go for classic lines, subdued colors, etc. Not much a one for prints. Mostly blacks/gray/earth tones/dk red/burnt orange/ the occasional blue and green (which is also pretty much the colors I have in my house too).

Work: Wide leg trousers or the occasional knee length skirt. Fitted cotton shirts (hate anything that comes up too high on my neck) or thin fitted wool sweaters. The occasional fun shirt, usually tunic-length or my one white silk blouse I have and love (most of the time I don't do blouses at all), usually leather euro-style flats (like born) or the occasional small-heeled mary jane . i do have a pair of high heeled boots I like to wear with skirts.

Home and running errands, etc.: boot cut jeans, tend to be darker wash, fitted tee shirts or tank tops, whatever shoes i can find but usually slip on flats or sandals if it's cooler out

slobby slobby me: knee length hiking shorts, tevas/flops, tank tops or whatev.

No jewelry except the rare artisan piece with big funky stones. and my e-ring. Don't usually carry a purse, but when I do it's usually large enough to carry lots of stuff including a book/camera or more

No makeup, no shaved legs

Except when I get dressed up. I can glam it up for realz. For my New Years party last year I wore a Elie Tahari LBD with silver rhinestone stilletos. Mrowr!

I guess basically I am multiple people in one closet??

Work: Casual pants or jeans. Knit tops, I dont do blouses or anything that needs ironing. Sandals in summer, dansko's in winter.

Play: Jeans (low rise flare or boot cut) or neutral color shorts, Fitted T-s and tank tops, flip flops almost all year round.

Party: I own some really cute dresses and I do love to put on some heels for a few hours just for fun :D

Makeup: Minimal. Eye liner, mascara, foundation and powder.

Colors: Black, brown, burgandy, purple, white, some pink. I have exactly one item of clothing that is red- a dress I got for a Christmas party.

Jewelry: Cubic Z studs and a cheap silver watch from Target. Some shiny earings for dress up.

Hair: Scrunched and down for work, pony tail or bun for the barn.

I'm not a style chick as you'll tell by what I wear outside of work..

I'm normally in shorts & a t-shirt (even when it's a bit coolish outside) or jeans. Ball cap!

I like sports shorts & comfy shirts in black, blue or white. I don't do brands..

I have a pair of running shoes, sandals, birkies for work & some sort of heel type shoe for outings.

For work..Ok, I discovered Eddie Bauer's short sleeved blouses when we visted Canuckland earlier this year. A couple of skirts but no particular brand.

I don't do makeup.

I definitely do enjoy fashion. I'm a student so I wear a lot of sweats and lululemon stuff. I love hoodies, but I do have a couple of jeans that I love. I also like some vintage sweater pieces (Preloved, which is made in Toronto). Id say that I have a casual style but I do like dressing up too.

Work: jeans and a shirt: washable (art supplies and body fluids may fly)
a handy sweatshirt (HVAC at school is random)
ugly and indestructable glasses (I want really ugly ones--horn rims a la 1965, but can't find them, so for now I have generic wire ugly sturdy ones)
shoes: must be soft: trying to be eye-to-eye with small people sometimes I kneel. My knees and ankles protest this behavior. *alas*

I wonder how long until black stirrup pants are fashionable again.

I wear sweatpants, a t-shirt and tennis shoes to work. At home I change into a tanktop and flops but keep the sweats. Some of my sweats are cute b/c they show off my hiney :p the others are just plain cozy and I don't care to impress anyone while I'm playing in the floor with snot nosed, gooey eyed, slobbering infants and toddlers (I love being payed to play all day!!).

Colors: gray, black, brown, blue (for sweats & tanks)
Shoes: Oh I have soooo many....tennis shoes, open back clogs, carpet bag shoes (f/sketchers, they look like a carpet bag on my feet :)), and boots in winter
T-shirts: the free one's I get when I sign up in time for a sponsored bike ride

If I'm dressing up, I put on jeans, Levis, loose and comfy but they still show off my hiney!! I only wear makeup on halloween and some days I comb my hair.

If having no style means I'm comfy, I love my 'no style'!!!!!

Maybe flea market or antique store?

They're always good when you're wearing boots. But with flats? No.
I'm waiting for saddle shoes to come back

Saddle shoes are so far out they're in.


I checked secondary market for horn rims...they're kinda fragile-like. I have to write fan mail to the Mythbuster Adam and get glasses like his. They have to be impact resistant!

I have several different clothes personalities. For work, I have to get dressed up to some degree but I generally hate suits. I prefer knee-length skirts. In summer, I wear them with sleeveless tops and sandles. In winter, with sweaters, tights and high heel boots. I have some nice pants as well, but it's rare that I find pants that fit really well I also like scarves and chunky bracelets. I have a few necklaces but otherwise don't wear much jewelry.

Outside of work, I wear shorts and tees in summer (think Columbia Sportwear meets Life is Good). Flip flops or Keen Mary Janes. In winter, it's Gap jeans and J. Crew sweaters or LL Bean fleece. Dansko clogs or Keen sandles with wool socks.

Almost everything I own is solid colored. I don't like most prints. I wear my hair long it's kind of high maintenance. I like makeup and a bit of perfume. I'm not a total girly girl but I'm close.

Work: I've started doing sort of a feminine menswear kind of thing lately. I started a new job seven months ago that requires me to dress up so I am having fun with it. (My last job was t-shirt and jeans.) I always wear heels to work too. I am looking forward to wearing a chef's coat and stretchy pants every day someday soon. :)

Home: T-shirt or cute top and jeans (flared or bootcut). I'm pretty low maintenance at home and outside of work. Reef flip flops or my bright orange Bistro Crocs.

I wear makeup VERY rarely. I have a couple of rings that I wear on a regular basis and I wear my nose ring when I'm not at work.

These - I probably didn't describe them well:

http://www.rei.com/product/766205

They are soooo comfy.

I have many clothing personalities. I mostly wore skirts and sweaters or some type of t shirt/ fitted blouse to work. Tailored, preppy wool pants in solids (think J Crew or Banana Republic). I wear a lot of black and grey, with brights on the top once in awhile. I like dresses, too, but right now the styles don't thrill me. My skirts are shorter, above the knee; I stopped wearing long skirts about 5 years ago. I like pants to be "tasteful" low rise... can't stand anything on my waist anymore. I used to wear suits to work in the eighties, when I taught high school. I have a couple of suits now, but they are more "unconstructed" and I wear them more for social things/holidays.
At home, when I go to class now, I wear jeans or cords with same above tops. I also wear my "work" clothes to class sometimes. In the summer I live in capri pants and long shorts and t shirts, with a few mini skirts.
As far as shoes go, I love heels, but I can't wear really high ones anymore. I have some really funky flat, sneaker alternatives I wear with some jeans and capris and some Danskos, which I can't believe I have (not really my style, but I am walking in the city more now). My dress shoes are all low heeled variations of Nyots, some mary janes, classic pumps. I have a pair of heeled boots which are short, which I wear a lot at this time of year.
When I am going to work or somewhere where I need to look "dressed" and it's snowy out, I wear my Merrell Mocs and take a pair of shoes to change into. I know people wear these all day, but they look like snow boots to me and they are not that comfortable, either, after 8 hours.
I wear make up. Yes,it's true. Blush, eye shadow, lipstick, and mascara. Although, as long as my dark circles are covered, I go out with just lipstick on. I feel absolutely naked without lipstick.
I love to get dressed up, but although I go out a lot, I only get really dressed up a few times a year.

Grayson, you described my clothing tastes exactly! Although the 501's have now changed to 550's HA! I do wear sweats and nylon warm up pants quite a bit while I'm home, and I will wear Carharts along with the Levi's and cargo pants.When it's cool outside, I'll also often wear a fleece vest.

When I need to dress up abit, I'll add a sweater or change the type of shirt that I'm wearing. I really dislike button up shirts, so I own a few but not very many.

AS for jewelry, a silver Native American bracelet, earrings, and a watch.

And lots of ball caps... anything related to bikes, and of course the Tennessee Lady Vols hat as well:):)

Fun post!!

Still available as safety glasses last time I looked, or something pretty close. So ask your optometrist about frames for safety glasses.

My kids would say I'm outdoorsy LLbean-ish. I gues that's ok, but not the dressy Llbean, more slum-like.

Another Lady Vols fan!! What are you doing in Maine?

I guess I tend to dress rather tailored, lots of black as a neutral. Today in the office I'm wearing a black skirt, patterned tights, mary janes and a pale blue pullover. I wear pants to the office lots more than I used to.

Evenings and weekends, sweats, khakis, various pullovers and all those event Ts you end up with.

My current favorite shoes are my Merrell Encore Chill Stitch clogs. Yes Jobob, I bought the fuzzy lined clogs...but they are a sedate Raisin color, rather than the Scarlet I was lusting after in Bend.:D

I've been living in PJ's for the last couple of weeks, I shall move on to jeans and tshirts now that I'm more mobile.

They look very comfy. I'd probably fall out of them (from a disasterous attempt at open back clogs many years ago, never to be repeated)

Work: Scrubs and more scrubs!

"Professional" attire (clinical etc.): black or gray pants or occasionally a skirt; sweater or (nice) short-sleeved t-shirt. Flat mary-jane type shoes, Merrell mocs, or flat sandals (no sandals in clinical though). No heels--they make it too hard to walk right, and no open-backed clogs/slides because they never stay on very well. If I wear a skirt in cooler weather, I'll wear knee-high socks (if it's a longer skirt) or thick knit tights--I hate pantyhose! In the summer with sandals it's easy--no hose needed.

General running around: Jeans (loose straight leg, can't stand tight jeans), fleece pants, stretch knit pants from L. L. Bean, capris, shorts (usually knee length) depending on the season. Sweaters, fleece tops, fitted t-shirts, or tank tops, only occasionally button-down tops. If it's cold I'll add a fleece or down vest. Sneakers (consisting of latest pair of beat-up running shoes), Teva or similar sandals, or Merrell mocs/mary janes (they're comfy).

Dress-up attire: As casual/comfy as I can get away with! Usually it's some variation of my professional attire. I refuse to wear high heels or pointy-toed shoes (hey, if our feet aren't shaped like that why should we wear them?) and any skirts need to have enough room to move normally (including running if necessary) and not be too short. I also steer clear of anything "dry clean only".

As far as colors, I have a lot of blues, reds and purples, also some greens and darker pinks. Yellow looks awful on me, and pastels aren't so great either (I don't really like them anyway). Neutrals mostly consist of black or gray; for some reason I don't like brown as much. For prints, I like stripes, some plaids, argyle, some other random geometric prints (especially in black and white) and a few florals.

Make-up: Only for special occasions, and then sparingly--I just don't like it.

Hair: Mid back length, wavy, no bangs, usually pulled back in a low ponytail. Very easy, and doesn't have to be washed every day like it did when I had it short.

Jewelry: Small earrings, usually studs but occasionally small hoops. Not a fan of dangly earrings. Usually no necklaces, rings or bracelets, although I do sometimes wear my cross necklace (have gotten out of that habit lately as I don't want anything around my neck that patients could grab and yank, with the exception of a break-away lanyard for my name badge since at least that would let go if pulled). However, I feel naked without a watch! Usually I just wear my Timex sport watch although for work I have a scrub watch that is easier to disinfect if needed.

I'm actually tired of wearing jeans or my baggy (because they've lost their shape) cotton pants and casual tops 80% of time at work for the past few years. I do work in an office at a construction site, but must be practical about clothing due to the dust that collects on things that I touch/walk on, mud outside (right now) to walk to another work area and for safety reasons. I'm not sure if people here understand..what it means to walk into the ladies' washroom at work and at times, find clots of dirt, mud on the washroom floor, often enough.

When it's casual, I wear semi-fitted to fitted tops.

In other workplaces where it's more formal, or even present workplace, I do wear tailored jacket and skirts, above the knee...simple black skirt or a wrap skirt...like a sarong actually. Last time I work a skirt below the knee was over a decade ago. Dress shoes tend to be low-heeled. And tailored dress pants.

I like dressing up abit in more formal business attire, at times...because some clothing cuts remind me to maintain my weight ..so that I can still wear them!

Except for sarong skirts, I wear primarily solid coloured clothing in classic/tailored cuts. (And a sarong is classic, simply in its style line.) I'm not into smocks and little blouse-sundresses over leggings that were the rage for awhile. My definition of fun casual is a fitted solid coloured sleeveless tank top with a high round neck. (I just have to make sure I haven't eaten 10 lbs. of food. :)) Yea, not even a tank top...I haven't got enough cleavage for that.

Bring it . All clothing is fantastic ((-) a few less deserving corporations), and if its appears not to be, i bet you its not to far from a quick re-stitch, little added extras and BAM! new item.
though. outdoor gear is different i guess,
I do think its funny when people go out for a nice dinner and just cannot find the capacity to TAKE OFF THE CHOCOS:) I have some, dont get me wrong...
but were all wearing some eclectic outfits these days and definanlty transcending the boundaries of what specific styles and occasions used to stand for.
I think its great, though we have our own specific collections, the room to stereotype has faded.


Keep rockin the threads...
but we supports nudists too on TE! we can talk about it if you want :)

Since I'm an in-home trainer and a indoor-cycling instructor I'm either wearing black long Nike pants (they last forever!) with a 3 button collared shirt with my logo on it, or if I'm teaching a class, bike shorts and bike jerseys. Shoes are either cycling shoes, or New Balance, Nike or Keens.

If I have to dress up I wear either nice jeans or black slacks and a blouse, or sweater etc.

Summer is shorts and a business shirt. Gawd...am I boring or what???

Oh, hair used to be extremely short until I let it grow out to my jawline this year. It also used to have purple streaks, but now is a discreet paprika with blond streaks. (I train my hair-stylist so we barter).

Nothing's better than a muu-muu(sp?)
