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.
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.

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.

I need more (read: any) Jilli-font-theme clothing. To add to my collection (read: 3) of squid-themed tshirts.

I am currently trying to shop for Casper, and argh! Lands End has like one pant style for girls right now, and they've very low rise skinnies. And of course they are sold out in her size (14 slim) anyway. Clothing companies that make clothes for kids should stock all the sizes all the time! She FIT into her pants a month ago when everyone was doing back to school shopping! Shopping for tween clothes is the worst.
