Girls thread cont.

Oh wow I can't listen to that girl - her voice is really annoying! I don't think I do that. If I do anything I worry it's that I go up at the end of sentences and sound a little Valley Girl-ish. Hmmmmm. Maybe I can get the other examples to work on this computer . . .

Yes, that's very strange. I'm going to listen out for this and see if I hear it irl now.

After working hospo/retail for so many years, and having to dress accordingly, I love that now 4/5 work days I get to wear baggy jeans, trail runners and my husband's old t-shirts. It makes wearing ” proper” clothes less of a chore and way more fun.

you will! oh you'll hear it. talk to college students.

homo II i applaud you for your bold fashion. i hope you didn't think i was being critical of that whatsoever in my reluctance to accept "cougar". i guess i just prefer "vixen".

i think my default style is generally undercover witch/secret surprise occult priestess in a suit of rather normal armor.

i wish i could be a hammer woman, but i have neither the hair nor the bod

what's a hammer woman?

i am a big fan of the slightly nicer t-shirt

me too but I must admit I still feel a little excitement at this time of year when I can get away with a plain ol' t-shirt (possibly advertising a band or something similarly symbolic of non-office vibe) knowing that it'll be hidden by a sweater all day

hahaha <3

What adult sneakers are exactly, I have no idea.

They aren't. Instead there are these things called "shoes."

I know, I know but I have big feet that are hard to find nice shoes for. Also, I wear shoes out really really quickly. I generally have one pair of black ballet flats, sneakers and a couple pairs of boots. I can't wear high heels for more than an hour at a time so they're pretty much out. :(

evan I seriously wanna shop for you.

can I make a polyvore for you??

x-post - Besides, sneakers just go better with a t shirt and jeans. ;)

There are so many wonderful oxfords out right now! And many kinds of loafers, too. Or Clark's, even if you had to buy men's sizes (not sure).

Oh I'm not quite in in men's size territory. I will have a look next time I'm in the market which is about now since my black flats are about falling apart.

Also if I'm totally honest - I pretty much hate shopping because I'm so unhappy with my body. If I felt more comfortable with myself I'd probably be more into buying more clothes and dressing up but I don't and so it's a lot easier to just wear "safe clothes" rather than go trying on new things and winding up in tears in a dressing room somewhere. It's a problem which I plan on addressing. In therapy! Tomorrow! :)

Check out these Bass oxfords!

that is so true -- i've waited years for oxfords to come back and here they are. i've had a pair of black oxfords as long as i can remember, probably since i was 12?

god those red ones are so cute

It's a problem which I plan on addressing. In therapy! Tomorrow! :)
yay! squash that shit, you're going to feel better soon.

Those are really nice actually.

Oh man a couple years ago I went to the Bass outlets and they were having a buy 2 get one free sale on already reduced boots. I got three pairs of boots for < $100. It was amazing. Wearing a pair of them today as a matter of fact.

(different pairs since i was 12, obvs, but i remember virtually all of them because i wore them ALL THE TIME)

Tbh my entire style approach is to go too young with the hair and make-up and too old with the attire, so I embrace the matronly work wardrobe w open, polyester-clad arms.

Those are Frye's, though, so price is slightly eeek.

oh boy those are the ones i have wanted FOREVERRRRR

they're perfect

In my Catholic HS we were only allowed to wear oxfords so I usually had a bunch. Or these - these were very popular too:

<3 Frye's but they're so $$$$. I know they last forever but I never have that much to spend on shoes at any given time.

omg I have no idea what I'd wear these with and therefore prob never would but I NEED THESE:

I'm in desperate need of new boots - I want a sort of oxford style boot, mid calf, but haven't found anything under 200

laceup you mean?

with or without heel

Gorgeous shoes...*HEART* Frye's shoes and boots. They occupy the place in my heart once owned solely by Fluevog. Never owned a pair of those either. Triste. My life has always been very Nine West, Converse sneakers and whatever Born I can find on sale at Ross. Except for the year I saved for mediocre leather boots from Sundance. Okay, now I'm feeling sorry for myself, teehee....

smoove: What about (putting in full urls for info and for simplicity's sake):

...and etc?

i am getting the rachel antonhoff heeled saddle shoes for x-mas... can't wait.

I was going to say earlier that I really want saddle shoes.

lucky! those seem like shoes i would want want want want and then wear like 2x because i have a glut of special occasion shoes and severe lack of occasions on which to wear them :(

maybe i just need a more exciting social calendar?

I was just looking at that collection thinking that I'd buy myself some with expected birthday money but I am worried I'll never wear them if I do. :/ I'll have to think about it.

I want a pair of shiny paratrooper jump boots for hiking to the subway in this winter.

i was talking about the heeled ones. the flat ones would go with lots of stuff and aren't as SHAZAM POW.

?????

I have a lot of kinda 50's-ish dresses that would look really great with the heeled saddle shoes... that was my intent, anyway.

I am picking out Evan's clothes! THIS IS HARD

I LOVE THE HEELED ONES, TOO! I was going to make a whole post about how if the price of the heeled saddle shoes was my soul, I'd sign on the dotted line. Did you see the cordovan & cognac combo??

i'd wear those black boots, but i am never without a pair of laceup black boots

Those black lace up ones look like the steel toe Docs I wore in HS/College. My shitkickers as my dad would call them.
