What do you wear?(Non-cycling)

[bmccasland]

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).

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.

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?)

I can't wait until this weight comes off so I can shop in the hotcha-cha stores. Most of my clothes are rather, well, boxy, I guess. I wear knee-length to longish skirts, but not too long or it looks like the skirt is wearing me, and 3/4-sleeve t-shirts, with Birkenstocks. Sometimes I wear pedal pushers during the day, with the t-shirts, instead of the skirts, but I have two pair that I alternate, black and white.

I have a couple of long dresses that I wear, too, mostly for work where I'm supposed to wear business attire, but I don't have any that looks nice, and they don't pay me enough to wear panty hose, so I make up for it be being an outstanding instructor.

I long to wear jeans, though. Regular jeans, not the ones with the elastic waist band.

I don't know what I'm going to do when the weather turns cold. My favorite long pants wore out last winter. I haven't found any new stuff, but then, I've not really shopped. I hate shopping.

My one standard piece of jewelry is a rose quartz pendant with a pair of dolphins in silver, on a long black string. A friend gave it to me as a birthday present about twenty years ago.
