Passion for fashion

Post by Penni SO »

:) :) :) :) Hello lovely ladies


Yes I know here she goes again,another question???
O.k passion for fashion,how many of you ladies like the latest fashion in clothes,lingerie and shoes.

How many of you are stuck in a time warp for fashion???

How many of you wish a particular era in time was brought back into fashion.

I'm a 42 year old woman,who loves the 40's style of clothing,I adore the stockings with the seams at the back.My mother used to have the most beautiful clothes and I remember getting dressed in her clothes when she gave us to them for dressups.

I also love the gear of the 60's you know the gear from the series "Heartbeat".

Anyway I give you all big hugs,

I personally LOVE to look fashionable, but I do only go with things I like.

Some of the latest fashions just don't do it for me, and of course, so many of those will go right back out of style. So, I don't want to waste my money on clothes that I think won't be around long.

I do also love the 40s, 50s, and 60s look too. But alot of those are somewhat timeless, so you really can't go wrong. Stockings and garters are always in style! :lol:

I am so glad the low rise, boot cut or flare leg jeans came back. I LOVE that look, and the fit on me is perfect!

I don't worry about the lastest fashions per say. I like what I like, whether anyone esle does or not makes no never mind.

As for a certain era of fashion, I'm not stuck on any one era. There are items from the 50's I like, as well as the 60' and 70's, etc.

My only problem is being to big for what I like.

The '50's are my weakness, as if you can't tell from the full skirts and petticoats. Nothing more femme than June Cleaver or Donna Reed.

I go more for style than fashion -- i.e. things that will look good on me, rather than what's trendy -- but I'd say my interests are pretty contemporary.

I look at the pretty, thin, young girls and drool a bit - not for the girls so much as for their clothes and how they wear them so becomingly. Envy! Sheer envy!

I am with Marlena, however, and go for a style that suits my body and age. I also like things that are not too confining, avoiding tight skirts, for example. I have a fair collection of tops, blouses, and skirts that I wear mostly. I have no idea what geological period these clothes represent, but I think they are quite acceptable. My SO is a great help, but finds that, unlike when in drab, I color coordinate nicely.

Hugs,

Lydia

I guess that the era that I seem to love is "Anne of Green Gables" time frame. What A classy look.

I also go for style more then fashion. Fashion changes to often for me. I love the look of the eighties and early 90's. It is not shocking as I was a kid then.

Preppie (with a hippie accent)

Post by Kendra Lynn »

Hello all: Nasty rain and wind outside-- so no "dressing" today. (I do not drive).

But anyhow, as ironic as it may seem, for someone whose politics are lefty-greeny , the styles that seem to work best for me are sort of "preppie:" sweater and box pleat skirt combos; peter pan collar blouses and knee length (or so) "A line" skirts, cardigan sweaters over a turtle-neck top with pants or appropriate skirt, blazer over turtle-neck top with plaid "A line" or "circle" skirt -- I'll give outfits like that a "hippie" accent with a peace sign pendant, and long-ish straight-ish wig, and/or a political button or two.

Peace'n'luv-- Kendra Lynn.
