What do you wear?(Non-cycling)

[maillotpois]

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

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. )

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.

These - I probably didn't describe them well:

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!!

I wear that designer too

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)

Maybe flea market or antique store?

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

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

[malkin]

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.
