Admit it: fashion sleuthing time

[Deborajen]

This thread reminded me of an article I read not too long ago about how to dress sexy in midlife. It said to do one thing at a time - sexy skirt or pants with a more conservative top, or sexy top with more conservative skirt or pants. That's exactly what I do on those occasions - I never do both at the same time.

On the two dresses - I'd vote for the li'l black dress. It may look a little bit like a slip in the picture but with a few accessories, some pretty shoes - you'd be a knockout.

My sense of fashion is right along with Roadie Gal...same work attire too. I find fashion in a pair of pajama bottoms, colored croc type clogs, and a shirt of some sort on my days off.
I however, do prefer the blue dress V. I was eyeing something similar to that in Title 9 or Athleta mag. that recently came. (Its already in the recycle bin if that tells you how interested I am in clothes shopping). But I did do a double take on it and would consider it. Bike or exercise clothing is another story...

Title 9 has some great dresses.

I don't have a fashion sense & hate shopping because i can't decide what to buy. I don't like floral stuff blech, pink or anything really girlie. Why is it that most clothing shops have girlie prints rather than solid colours. I liked what I saw at Eddie Bauer when I was up in the Northern Hemisphere last year It fit wonderfulllllly

I do like black, blue & red. I will eventually need some new clothes.

Help?

I don't have any fashion sense -- always figured some day a friend would hook me up with the 'what not to wear' group

The website MyShape was interesting. At first I put my measurements for waist and bust in backwards and was given the circular one. Then I realized my mistake, and am now a "Y". I like that they choose what may look best on you, but much of it is pretty fancy for me. If I can't get it at REI or Eddie Bauer, I don't know what to do with it!

Veronica: I vote on Blue. That's totally cute. But, take that considering the source! it's funny.. I can say that someone looks good or doesn't in something, but cannot relate that to myself.

I Like the black but Im a ex goth! Black can be worn to more things, whereas the blue to me looks like a beach dress.
Most of what i own is black. Its either wool,cotton or silk.
I used to wear mostly thrift shop, but then got a better job and bought some nicer things.
For the last decade or so I wore - black tank , black jeans, black boots.

I gave up and gave away ten bags of clothes to salvos, friends etc.
After cycling clothes, most of em felt uncomfy.
I usually, sadly! wear non chmpis bike shorts all summer now, under minis.
