Personal Style etc - general discussion

[Romanee]

Well I've just gone through a major change I've died my hair black, it used to blonde and I was worried I would look washed out with black hair but thankfully I don't, it goes nice with my sallow skin

 

[Nemova]

crap!!!...

i don't think i can return the sweater......
now i have to figure out how to make it work ...

......

What is it like, Soft?

 

[softgrey]

hi nemova....

this is the sweater in question...i really adore it..

it's just to long and loose...
so instead of looking really cute on me...it sort of bunches at the waist because it is too long...
making me look sort of 'thick'...
...

*not good.......

 

[Nemova]

It's a really nice sweater. Maybe you could take it back to the place where you bought it and have it adjusted to fit you?

OT: I'm in love with your magazine collection.


ETA: What about wearing it with an obi?

 

[softgrey]

thanks dear...got it online so i can't have them fix it...
but i did think about doing some alterations...
all is not lost however....

i had in mind to wear it with a particular pair of pants and i tried it today and it looks pretty good i think...so ...maybe this is going to work after all..
yay...

*on another note..
i have realized that a great many of my boots are a size 37 1/2...
not 38 which is what size shoe i usually get...
and i def used to buy size 38 boots...
it's very odd...
can my feet be shrinking?......

i don't think that's possible ...is it?.......

nobody except my bf and my mom believe me because they know my old shoes, but my feet shrank 4 sizes within 2 yrs! I used to be a size 11 and now I'm a size 8...It's so funny when I put on my old shoes and they are way to big

 

[melt977]

have you lost significant weight?

Wow! That's so funny.

I used to buy my shoes too small because I was embarrassed that I had "big feet." But now I'm comfortable with my foot size. They keep me grounded. B)

 

[laurette]

have you lost significant weight?

no, I even gained and grew about 15 cm (I was 13 when I was a size 11).

 

[softgrey]

^^that is so ODD......

i never heard of such a thing happening...
but it seems to be happening to me too somehow...
i always thought your feet are supposed to get bigger as you age...
like they 'spread'...
and get wider, etc...

anyway...
it's really weird......

*on another note..
i have decided that i should never cut my hair really short again...
the shortest i will ever go is a bob..
which i am actually considering for this summer...
...

 

[Fewormany]

I suddenly feel very attracted to white. So I just might need to get some crisp white things for summer .

I need a coat, man. Even if Spring is around the corner, my coats have gone missing and one can only wear a bubble jacket for only so long. Betsey Johnson had the nicest coat when I walked in but it was hella expensive so for now, it is out of the question. Where is a good (affordable!) place I can buy a pea coat of some sort?

The Junya without a doubt, but you should post this in the Yay/Nay thread.

Katherine, i would check dept. store websites...smaller stores are pretty cleaned out of outerwear by now. Jcrew also seems to have a lot of coats left over in their sale section, mostly under $200...

I'm feeling very drawn to the idea of sticking to a personal uniform.

Maybe it's my age, or just wanting to prioritize mental space for other things right now. But I really want getting dressed to be easy. I want variations of the same things...good dark trousers, slim skirts and boots. I just need to figure out the top part...always so much harder for me, for some reason...

 

[kowie]

My whole wardrobe looked so black and white, so I bought a red trench and lots of gold accessorises. Now I just need some jeans and chinos in block colours

 

[chanelnumber5]

I saw a gorgeous black short coat/long jacket last weekend. And an amazing shirt. And bag. Plus I need one or two caridgans, another pair of skinnies and some patent ballet flats. And then things for summer
I think I might be broke soon

Army/Navy? (not sure where you are--& can't see if you've said in this view )

Edit: Still not sure if you have access to an Army/Navy there at Malfoy Manor

If you were as hard to fit as I am, you would have complete clarity

I pretty much wear knits on top all the time. I find something that works, I buy it in all the colors, or all the colors I like/that look good on me. Short-sleeve sweaters, 3/4 sleeve sweaters, 3/4 and long-sleeve cardigans ...
