For once there was a camera to check out!

[crankyoldman]

So I managed to get a camera and hastily took some photos! I have this camera for the next three days so I may take pictures of other things too! LIKE MY REDONE EDEA HAT. It's too bad I took most of my costuming stuff home. :<

And yes, I was totally wearing that outfit today.















Which begs the question: do I wear this to class tomorrow?

XD You look so cute!

I need more "big girl" clothes. All the non-office stuff I have makes me look like I'm 13...

Guess I'll have to get some funky heels to wear with my jeans. ;}

A blazer with a casual shirt always goes a long way! My "business" wardrobe and casual wardrobe kind of intermingles, cause I don't have a dress code at my work but I just can't bring myself to look like a schlup! So I wear a lot of jeans with blazers or button-up shirts. Tends to make me look less twelve. XD

GET YELLOW ONES. Mine are from Charlotte Russe. From like forever ago. Just remember the thinner the heel the harder to walk in!

::LOL:: I don't think I could pull off yellow. Perhaps neon pink or grape purple or something.

Blazers...make me look fat as I fall into the "plump and rosy" category. ;P
I wear a lot of knits. Gah. I need to go shopping. >< I LOATHE shopping.

Yeah, I really miss the Big Chunky Heels of the late 90s...

Well you're getting the wrong type of blazer, then. Knits have no structure to them, and you're probably actually making yourself plumper with them! TRUEFACT. It's not just something that they say on makeover shows. I tend to have to drag my mom out shopping and while I think she imagines a lot of her plump (like you, you're hardly plump as much as SHORT) there are things I've had to talk her into trying on that turned out really fabulous.

From what I remember of your dimensions (ha ha no clothing is totally not an engineering problem to me) you want to avoid something that'll end at your hip and go for something that's got a cinch around the middle. I've got one like that, I wear it as a part of my steampunkish gear (http://www.flickr.com/photos/21731007@N05/2532880772/in/set-72157603434524281/). It may not look it, but I've got a rather boxy torso. I'm just good at hiding it. XD

Something like this (https://www.openingceremony.us/pimg/main_1-oc-cinchedwaistblazer-pk.jpg) would actually prolly look really cute on you! The important thing is making sure that it actually closes; half the time people are trying on something too small because of who knows what.

Not to go all fashionista on you! I MEAN WELL. It's like how I got Drakon to give up wearing sweatshirts all the time. FOR THE BETTERMENT OF MANKIND.

Gawd no, the opposite actually. I have a VERY short waist. Like...there is maybe 4in of distance from my boobs to my hips. Srsly. It just makes me look shorter and fatter than I am (and I don't need that). I wear knit stuff 'cause it kinda makes a nice line and since it's rarely petite, it kinda visually stretches my ueber-short torso. It actually works pretty well. Unless the shirt/blazer/whatever is REALLY FITTED, it um doesn't work and I look like I'm expecting. :P (I've kinda put on more weight. Guh. Curse you cracktastic work schedule...)

Both those jackets are cute, but a belted waist is usually a bad idea on me. (See above comments about looking twice as fat as I am.) The two-tone one MIGHT work, but it'd totally have to be a petite and with a shorter peplum. I am just too danged short to really get away with most jackets.

Heh, no, I am far too familiar with what fits and what doesn't. I just hate gleaning through the sales rack trying to find something that 1) I like, 2) fits, and 3) I can afford. :P

...

I think I need to start sewing for myself more. --;

Aren't we the same size? Cause I think we are. AND I'm a stone cold fox. ;)

[rienna-the-red.livejournal.com]

^^;

We're close, but we're proportioned a bit differently.
And I've put on like 20lbs. ><;

Sooo yeah. Don't think we could share clothes at this point. :P

[drakonlily.livejournal.com]

I bet we would. You're a fox in hiding!!!

[rienna-the-red.livejournal.com]

Probably closer to a badger. ;P

If you didn't wear this to class today, you are just no longer my friend. No, seriously, who are you and what did you do with her? XD

Wait....Drakon used to wear sweatshirts all the time??? Seriously??? She hid under mountains of just plain wrong lumpy cotton blends? I'm getting this whole new image of her. 0.o

[astrangerenters.livejournal.com]

I say why the hell not. I love the color. ALSO LOVE THE SHOES.

[venefica-aura.livejournal.com]

Those shoes are my sitting shoes. XD They are not very good for walking around campus! But they look fierce. So I wear them on days when I'm sitting around doing homework most of that day anyway.

[astralavator.livejournal.com]

That is such a cute wig with a really nice color to it.
