Not poseur. That’s something different.

Vildy and I have decided we need to learn to pose. Here’s what we’ve found:

And then, if you need a good laugh, there’s this: Look Good in Party Photos. LOL

Fashion Lab: Jean Pocket Placement

Rebecca | Fashion Lab | Thursday, 27 September 2007

I think I’ve discovered the principle behind “mom jeans”:

high and small pockets make whatever is below them look bigger

Yuck!

Rather than take a chance on my photography, I am going to use these pictures from Eddie Bauer (Big Fall Sale going on - Save 30% on over 150 items!).

Need I say more? Check out your own jeans. I’m biffing a pair!

Teen Style Tuesday: Layering with V-necks

Rebecca | Teens | Tuesday, 25 September 2007

gathered-scoop-under-deep-vee.JPGThis first picture is what I wore on Saturday to a meeting concerning the theatre group we are involved with. What it is: the top with the gathered neckline pictured below, worn underneath a deep v-neck t-shirt.

imgp3456.JPG

(Can you believe I posted it again, the outfit everyone loves to hate? Do you think it would be better if the colors were inverted, ie dark pants and light top?)

Last week I created quite a stir by gently suggesting V-necks are on their way out. If you love your v-necks and they are flattering on you, the layered look above, done with greater contrast between the colors, would maintain the vee line.

BTW, dd was cast in the musical Little Women, in a small chorus part. We are very excited, but I had no idea how intense the schedule would be if I ever got assigned to the costume committee. Well, I’ll be finding out. And trying to continue posting, too.

Watching Fashion Trends Is Frugal

Rebecca | frugal, personal style idiom, wardrobe planning process | Monday, 24 September 2007

Integral to my frugal wardrobe strategy is awareness of the ebb and flow of fashion cycles. Not the little here-today, gone-tomorrow fads (like ponchos), although I have no objection to wearing one when it suits the wearer.

What am I looking for? I’m looking for classic pieces that are becoming popular, such as pretty flats. And I’m looking for major silhouette movement, like the return of narrow jeans. And, last but not least, I am looking for the pieces that work within MY idiom.

How I use this information to save money:

  • Emerging looks: When a look is very fresh, it will often show up in final clearance at major stores. Buy it now, wear it for a really long time! Some items, such as a white dress shirt, are worth actually paying for at this point. (That’s hard for me, but there’s always my birthday.)
  • Established looks: Once a look becomes popular, it becomes more difficult to find inexpensively. Sometimes I will find it at a thrift store (usually off-season), but more often it’s Old Navy or wait. Typically I choose wait.
  • Saturated looks: When it’s everywhere, the handwriting is on the wall. A decision needs to be made: is this something I want in my permanent wardrobe? If not, and it’s still in good condition, I sell it on consignment, usually for more than I paid.

While I don’t always have to have all the latest styles, I do want to dress like myself. Myself really doesn’t like to look OUT of style.

Thoughts?
