Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I have 5 pairs of high-end lined wool dress pants that I got for $6 each at my local resale shop. I love wide legs, and they are clearly OUT now, so while some of the waists are lower than I'd like, I am snapping everything up.

I came around to skinny jeans (I am the person whose phyisque they are actually made for), but I am completely avoiding the current "slim pants cropped at the ankle" thing. Their ankle is nowhere near my ankle, and when you are 5'11" the memory of highwater pants from your teen years dies hard.

I buy most of my clothes from old fuddy-duddy places, anyway (Lands End, Talbot's), so trending styles are not as much of an issue.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I live a mostly fashion-free existence, fueled by thrift stores. The endless search for flats that don't look sucky is my bane.

This is me. I own plenty of Lands End and LL Bean at this point.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What I think looks good does shift with the trends, but verrrry slowly. I just now have a pair of let's say slim jeans. Definitely not skinny jeans, but closer than boot cut. And now I think they look better than the boot cut, a lot of the time. But mostly I wear non-fashion styles.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I mostly ignore fashion ( I know, what a surprise) since most of what's fashionable is not for me. Everyday clothing is easier for me to find than special occasion stuff.

The Edith Head google doodle is surprisingly on topic for today's discussion.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I picked up a couple of Levis straight-leg jeans at an Amazon sale about a year ago, and they are AMAZING. They're just shaped like normal pants without any low-rise/flare-leg/whatever bullshit, and they will last basically forever.

Right now I'm on the hunt for sweater-dresses. I bought one at Target a few weeks ago that is surprisingly awesome, and I'm wishing I'd bought extras in other colors.

I like skinny jeans, just not on me. I definitely do adjust my tates to the trends somewhat...I have straight and boot leg pants in my closet that seems practically like flares now.

I am in a big phase of wearing dresses with leggings, often t-shirt dresses. Mainly because it looks presentable for work while feeling like I am wearing pajamas.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

My wardrobe is made of about 85% Just My Size floral or whatever Graphic Print Tees and jeans with the winter addition of sweatshirts.

ita, May you get some sense out of your neuro today, since we can't be there to knock some sense into him.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I love that ankle pants exist, because I can buy petite ankle pants and not have to hem them to make them fit my shorter than petite legs. So convenient! And not quite as resort-y looking, uaually, as when I try that with what are supposed to be capris.

Happy Halloween week, y'all! I'm pulling out the shirt with the hot pink jilli-fonts all over it that I suspect I can't get away with wearing to the office any other time of year

ETA: that Google doodle is lovely.
