21 March 2008

What are you wearing? [More:]

I'm rockin' the nerdcore here. Black silk dress with pineapple jacquard print, grey tweed jacket with black suede patches, awesome black/yellow/white argyle tights, spiffy platform mary janes, my "buddy holly" glasses (a colleague has dubbed them this), a librarian bun, this necklace, and this watch.
That sounds like a cute outfit! I'm comfy/lazy today. I have on b/w plaid flannel drawstring pants that look like pj bottoms, a black velour hoody, black Christian of Project Runway-type reading glasses, and white and silver flats. I don't really hardly ever wear jewelry though...it's too exhausting trying to find and keep stuff.

Jeans, belt, wool socks, crocs, wool hat, wool scarf, stetchy grey undershirt, Fifer's Day t-shirt (local town holiday from where I grew up, sponsored by ABC Cesspool) from 1986 that my Mom gave me and I will wear as often as possible until it falls apart on me, orange fleece pullover. Pretty much a generic Jessamyn-in-wintertime outfit (what's that you say? It's spring according to YOUR calendar? Oh really...). It's laundry day.

blue sneakers, red socks, black jeans, no belt - belts got 86-ed a couple of weeks ago - grey long-sleeved t, green short-sleeved t, black hoodie.

It's laundry day here too.

Navy blue T-shirt, grey sweatpants (ancient ones I've had for about ten years), black socks, white panties, lilac slippers and a blue hoodie jacket from The Omega Institute, which was given to me by a friend who's a director of the place. Jai Kudo glasses, two rings, AA necklace and chain, teeny-diamond & gold leverback earrings. The jacket is far too big but is great for slouching around the house.

(Disclaimer: It's a Bank Holiday today and I just woke up from an afternoon nap.)

I'm at work, so: beige 3/4 length sleeve jacket, grey v-neck knit top, aubergine ankle-length linen skirt, beige pumps, some jewelry, and my hair is always in a bun.

If I was off work: jeans and a knit top or sweatshirt depending on weather.

I like that watch, lfr!

I'm in white fluffy slipper socks, gray Lands End bathrobe, and my House of Dereon scarf that I won at the Tyra Banks show on my head. It's laundry day at my house, too- sent it out this morning.

It's "jeans are allowed" day at work, and I'm trying to save my nicer outfits for fun stuff next week, so I'm looking kind of slouchy in an outfit of jeans and a sea-green cable-knit cotton sweater that I keep wanting to like but somehow just... don't. But it's comfy.

And tan suede loafers that don't quite work with it, but I didn't realize that until I got to work. It really needs cowboy boots, which I think would perversely make the whole thing a little more dressy. Or planned. Or something.

jessamyn, that sounds like what I wear at home most of the time. I have a shit ton of these things (team sponsor).

tonight is 'laundry day' at chez lfr.

thanks TPS! I even got it on sale!

Tatters. I had to fend off cannibals. Whew, that was close. They gave me this hat, though. . .

I just got out of the shower. Take a wild guess.

I'll all slinky today. Black, tight scoop-necked boob shirt, swingy black striped lycra skirt, knee-high kick-ass black Doc boots. Black turtleneck in case I get chilly. Black tights, red lipstick, black-and-white striped reading glasses.

Black 3/4 length sleeve cashmere sweater with white lace trim, black scoop necked 3/4 length sleeve shirt, black v neck long camisole, maroon polyester lingerie look (straight cut, just below knee length, high slit on left, black lace trim) early nineties skirt, black undies, black transparent stockings, black combat boots. Black mens' watch, black rubber hoop earrings, emerald stud earring, amethyst ring, jasper ring, amber ring, moonstone ring, pink plastic bracelet with real japanese beetles in it, black rubber tire bracelet.

It's one of those hard to get dressed days where I'm going to do a lot of different things in a lot of different temperatures. I realized this morning in the mirror though that this outfit may be getting a little on the young side for me. I've been wearing it or some similar variant for most of my life now, but, sigh, is it possible that one eventually outgrows the Punk Rock Princess look?

Jeans, Linux penguin golf shirt, New Balance running shoes.

Oh and EssexJan, my Aunt and many friends of my family have taught at Omega for years. And many members of my family have taken classes there although I've never made it up there myself.

I'm a nau girl today (because Boy gets to go skiing this weekend and I don't! pout! pout!): glasnost jacket in grey, zip front wool shirt in grey, and accoustic pant in grey. Low-heeled waterproof boots. I can pretend I'm going skiing too!

Jeans, pale blue t-shirt, black sweater half-zipped, argyle socks, sneakers than an old boss once called "bowling shoes." And a silver ring that I wear every day.
posted by bassjump 21 March | 12:56
Jeans, bra (I have to point this out...I'm very dissolute these days), t-shirt from my first Irish step dance competition way back in 1999. I have no socks. And I also need to do laundry.
posted by Fuzzbean 21 March | 13:04
Bleah. I'm in chubby mode and unhappy about it, so I'm in my comfortably loose clothes. Red cords, black turtleneck, red/orange sweater. Mary Janes. And today's special fillip, Felix the Cat socks.
posted by Miko 21 March | 13:07
OK, so this is kind of hilarious. Y'all've caught me sporting a housecoat that I bought to wear ironically (at home!). However, its $5 price doesn't belie the quality (i.e. lack thereof) or fit (again, very unflattering).

So yeah, I look like crap in a meant-to-be-ironic housecoat. If it explains things a bit better, I'm doing laundry.
posted by Stewriffic 21 March | 13:10
New fancy bra, yoga pants (black with a teal stripe), a hot pink velour track jacket, white athletic socks and raggedy old combat boots. I'm lazy, unemployed and hungover, but I've been pretty productive!

Hell no, cutie. As long as you've got class, you're never too old for cute. You. Go.
posted by Ambrosia Voyeur 21 March | 13:35
I'm at work, trying to pretend like I'm not pretending I'm not. (Untangle that one...)

black cashmere cardigan, silky floral scoopneck empire top, black jeans (tut tut), nifty turquoise faux-python flats, scarf.
posted by somanyamys 21 March | 13:37
I need to do laundry too! I had a little trouble getting dressed because everything was in the laundry bag. I have a charcoal ribbed turtleneck, black boot-cut yoga pants, and ballet flats on. I'm happy with my outfit. Also, I wore a new coat to work (the old one is filthy). My coworkers think it's cute, but it's not warm enough. For the snow falling outside. Boo...

Loafers, black. Cords, black. Polka-dot shirt, white with small black dots. White T. Black socks. Black satin (yeah, that's right) boxers. Three silver rings. Black belt. Glasses, always. A look of anticipation as I am about to leave work for fun, then more work, then more fun, then sleepy land.

Today while I was out and about, I was lazy: jeans, trusty blue shoes, Otep t-shirt and trusty black Otep hoodie.

Currently at home and done for the day: blue plaid pajama pants and a 2005 NaNoWriMo shirt.
posted by sperose 21 March | 13:53
Chucks, white socks, boxers, jeans, green henley over black t-shirt, red white and grey plaid flannel over that. This will now be my default answer for non-summer threads of this nature.

Faded 1990 Monsters Of Rock t shirt, pair of trousers from an army surplus store.
posted by TheDonF 21 March | 14:25
The same well-worn Carhart blue jeans i've been wearing all week, with my awesome button up shirt (white with green model Ts and trees) and a brown blazer with a red thing in the pocket. I don't care, it's my birfday!

Here's a picture of me getting drunk right now!

Shorts and a t-shirt. This is actually my third change of clothes today- I started out with my bicycle commuting clothes, then changed into work clothes, then took a shower when I got home.
posted by Doohickie 21 March | 14:37
Pointy-toed slingback shoes with a tiny heel, dark blue straight-legged jeans that make my legs look a mile long, thick red cable sweater with bell sleeves and a tall neck.
posted by rhapsodie 21 March | 14:51
Schyler523, that shirt is indeed awesome. The collar doubles as wings, right?
posted by iconomy 21 March | 14:54
Three-piece black suit including matching vest, black silk necktie, and bright red patent leather shoes. Blacker than black Nondescript™ shades and a fedora (don't care if it's been co-opted). Grey silk dress shirt, silver cufflinks.

Wait, what I'm actually wearing, or what I wish I was wearing?
posted by Eideteker 21 March | 15:06
Jeans, black sneakers, shark socks, City Carshare baseball shirt (with the original logo), ancient purple sweatshirt-like thing with a hood and some holes.
posted by expialidocious 21 March | 15:12
I wish i could fly with those collars...

The reason i'm wearing this is actually because in my early-morning-can't-find-my-glasses-'cuz-my-gf's-cat-hid-my-glasses-and-i'm-hungover daze, i looked over and thought, "Those are clothes, i should probably wear some clothes today, huh?"
posted by Schyler523 21 March | 15:18
Navy blue Izod cotton trousers. White scoop neck t-shirt. Watermelon pink cardigan. Navy blue trouser socks, black loafers. I feel very preppy today.

Top Hat. Spats. Tail Coat. Cummerbund. Tuxedo Shirt. Cufflinks. Bow Tie.

Grass Skirt.

Black Fred Perry velvet zip-up jacket with white line on sleeves. Black T-shirt that reads "rude girl" in red (knock-off, bad quality bad print, kinda fake fred perry logo in the middle), black cheap gym-pants with white stripe on sides. Black Hello Kitty socks.

I have a cold and this is what I sleep in. If I meet anyone in the laundry room I can pretend that I'm dressed.

Also, I wanna see jason's_planet's grass skirt ensamble.

I got a t-shirt in the mail today. It says "None of these morons understand my special snowflake genius and I need a hug" and I am now wearing it. No foolin'
posted by jessamyn 21 March | 16:21
i'm wearing what was closest at hand when i was unclothed: long sleeved dark salmon(?) shirt with tiny things glued to one side in star shapes (did not buy it), loose dark pants, i'm guessing black.
i'm glad to see my need to do laundry has gone somewhere useful.
posted by ethylene 21 March | 16:35
My unmentionables are so unmentionable.
i'll dress up later just for you people
as far as you know
but maybe for reals.

i've really wasted the good fashion weather for too long.

Medium-blue pajama pants, tshirt with an all-over print of a Chinese painting of people having intimate relations, dark blue bathrobe with "Jesse" embroidered on back and "FTW" over right pocket, steel bottle-opener ring, black gel bracelet that says "NIHILISM."

Jammies. And a black hoodie. Four-day weekend, yo.

My usual winter time inside stuff:
- charcoal sweat pants
- plaid shirt - dark maroon background with small white and black stripes
- red slippers
- black panties
- hair is in a clip
posted by deborah 21 March | 18:14
I just looked up where I could get a steel bottle-opener ring, and the smallest size I could find is not small enough.

Poop.

Levis, white sox, my white castle t-shirt, a tan, red & black plaid flannel shirt, my phillips screwhead earrings and my Modesto Nuts hat. Such a snappy dude am I.
