the same thing I was wearing last time (minus the parsley butter) - I think the suit may be the same as the one tracer wore to the wedding

gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 14:42 (twenty years ago)

yeah, v neck over the top, the v neck sweater is cut very long and a long tank top underneath is necessary for it to fit properly. I do have this nifty silk tank from Ben Sherman that goes well over other blouses and tops but not today.

how can anyone look like a wreck in muji? muji is so great, I wish they'd open a store in DC.

dar1a g (daria g), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 14:43 (twenty years ago)

this thread is crazy - when did i ever have a "raw silk shirt"???

today i'm wearing stretchy skin-tight jeans, a red and white tartan flannel that's slightly too small, and white adidas with red stripes and red shoelaces.

"hugo" by hugo boss, gabby?

Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 14:43 (twenty years ago)

no, guess not. it looks almost exactly the same, though yours looks better (read: slimmer)-tailored.

gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 14:46 (twenty years ago)

the muji bit looks ok except for the ironing. and weird muji collars that are really small and sort of floppy, so they kinda look weird. im into them tho. but thats just cos my friend said it was ok

ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 14:58 (twenty years ago)

I love muji but unless they put their sizes up to 7 or 8 I'm never gonna get in them.

Mrs Trifle got married in raw silk - i always thought it was a bit strange, I mean it's not really raw is it?

Ned T.RIfle II (Ned T.Rifle II), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 15:10 (twenty years ago)

Today I'm wearing cheap office clothes:

Girls black fitted polo top from Target
Charcoal pinstripe a-line miniskirt from Sears
Black opaque tights from Target
Black mary-janes with double straps and cherry buckles from Hot Topic.
Gold (colored)"Lightning strikes twice" necklace from Urban Outfitters
Engagement ring.
Wedding ring.
Tinkerbell watch.
Maybelline dream mousse shimmer in 'Golden of Eden' from Kroger
Jessica Simpson's Dessert Treats hair and body shimmer mist in 'Cotton Candy' from Walgreens

I know what you're thinking: "Classy!"


Yesterday was different:

Cherry red corduroy jeans from Gap (not the red they were purchased in. i dyed them a deeper, less 80s corporate whore, red at home)
Navy t-shirt with dark red printed silver jews "peace" logo and tiny wear holes all over from Drag City Records.
Forest green chenille sox from Walgreens.
Pleasant Plains' black vans size 10 from I dont know where.
Red Earth Secret Potion in white (the best illuminator you will find ANYWHERE)from Red Earth Store, Australia.
Jessica Simpson's Dessert Treats hair and body shimmer mist in 'Cotton Candy' from Walgreens


If you havent tried it yet, I recommend wearing sneakers one size bigger than your shoe size. Its comfort and liberty all rolled up into one outstanding footwear experience. Now when I buy shoes and they arrive, I put them on and whine "Oh, crap! They fit!" It is awfully hard to go back.

sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 17:06 (twenty years ago)

i love sunny successor

me: pumpkin shirt, shortsleeved button-up, 55% linen 45% cotton; cheap navy barn coat as it's cold in my office; eggshell khakis; white socks; black non-leather shoes. under it all [checks]: yep, my grinch-themed boxers. JEALOUS MUCH< PUNKS?

Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 17:11 (twenty years ago)

"illuminator"?? Is it make-up? and Do I NEED it?

I have fallen into the dirtbag student swing of things. So many clothes in closet yet: Khaki stretchy jean-like pants that I wore yesterday as well, something sticky (food?) on right thigh, bright turqoise v-neck t-shirt that's all stretched out, I mean, you can see my bra and it's not a great bra, $1.99 blue chinatown slippers. I should change, everything, leave house, read somewhere else, not be dirtbag.

rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 17:23 (twenty years ago)

yes you need it! you know when you see actress walk down the red carpet and their cheekbones seem to shine with some kind of radiant white light? thats the work of an illuminator. some (most) cheaper brands will use glitter, which is lame for these purposes. you want an iridescent smooth liquid with no sparklies. red earth and sugarbaby make great illuminators. theres also revlon skinlights but that tends to make your face just look greasy if not used very sparingly. im sure doir and some of the better brands have some good illumators but im clueless as far as theyre concerned.

Haikunym, is eggshell a beige color or a blue color? I've never been able to get that straight.

sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 18:10 (twenty years ago)

is that how models get that dewy "just got laid" look?

Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 18:12 (twenty years ago)

exactly

actually MAC hyper real foundation has an illuminator in it but im not crazy about having my whole face glowing like the moon.

sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 18:12 (twenty years ago)

benefit's hi-beam illuminator rules. guerlain's meteorites is likewise excellent.

lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 18:13 (twenty years ago)

same barrel.

strongo hulkington is a guy with a belly button piercing (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 18:14 (twenty years ago)

mac's strobe cream is a great body illuminator. except don't leave it lying around in a bathroom where bleary-eyed boys might apply it thinking that it's a normal moisturizer, because they'll yell at you once they realize they look like a disco ball.

lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 18:15 (twenty years ago)

haha, boys.

haha, barrel.

They have Red Earth at a certain drugstore here! I am going for an illuminating walk. My cheekbones need THE LIGHT, THE DISCOBALL LIGHT.

(I think eggshell is like white, like the colour of walls.)

rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 18:20 (twenty years ago)

I use the Revlon one, which works fine for me but I think it seems best for the v. light skinned (even the "darker" ones) cos otherwise the pearlies seem too pearly? At least that's what it did to my sister.

Illuminator ends up on boys anyway, the glitteries just like to leap off my skin and onto others for some reason.

Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 18:21 (twenty years ago)

an olive Comme des Garcons wool t-shirt (thrift score!).

How the hell...?

Eazy (Eazy), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 18:22 (twenty years ago)

lauren, do any of those have glitter? 'hi-beam' by its name alone sounds very promising.

robyn, where are you at? im having a hell of a time getting hold of any red earth products. all the australian stores closed down and the two sites i can find it on are having problems with their online stores (including red earth itself).

sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 19:12 (twenty years ago)

hi-beam is glisteny but not glittery. it's at the pinky-white end of the spectrum, but they also do a more bronzey one. meteorites is a powder, which i actually like a bit better as i find it easier to apply. no glitter in that one, either.

lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 19:31 (twenty years ago)

nice! thanks.

sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 19:32 (twenty years ago)

an olive Comme des Garcons wool t-shirt (thrift score!).

How the hell...?

that's what I'm saying! I think it cost $3. I don't know, I got it in either New Bedford or Fall River, Massachusetts, and I can't explain why it was there, but after much thrifting experience one can sorta pick out good quality items just going on the fabric, and then I looked at the tag & said hey.. WTF? it's got a little snag on the sleeve that I should have repaired, I think it's where the fools stapled a tag on there. you know, I think it was even half price as it had been there a while.

dar1a g (daria g), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 21:05 (twenty years ago)

new bedford has AWESOME thrifting!!

Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 21:08 (twenty years ago)

i got eight green depression shot glasses for $2 each at an antique store in new bedford

Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 21:08 (twenty years ago)

My quest for red earth illuminator failed! They said they didn't carry it anymore. But I think there's a shop in the mall downtown (I'm in Montreal, Sunny). I will look into the other ones mentioned here though too - if there's something I'm a sucker for it is department-store cosmetics. But yeah, anyway, the questing made me change into brown cords and put a belt on, plus lilac-coloured hoodie.

rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 21:49 (twenty years ago)

thats inspiration!

i checked out the benefit site. their 'fake it' section rocks.

sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 21:52 (twenty years ago)

I grew up in the suburbs of Fall River

groove is in the heart

sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 22:09 (twenty years ago)

Navy fitted Philippe is a Bee t-shirt, A&F charcoal cargos, Tag Heuer Kirium, random jewelry in piercings, old glasses, cause new contacts still have not arrived.

ALLAH FROG (Mingus Dew), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 22:31 (twenty years ago)

Tan suede Clark's shoes, socks with a Union Jack pattern, preppy navy blue paints checked with a repeating red and white sailboat motif embroidered on them, a navy blue belt with a map of Cape Cod stitched onto it in white thread, a freaky Cerrutti shirt with a psychedelic mushroom pattern in red, white and blue, and a navy blue police officer sweater, and black eyeglass frames.

Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 22:57 (twenty years ago)

two years pass...

Revive! Turn to the left, goon squad coming to town, yada yada.

Me, today: black Cheap Monday jeans, black and metallic gold Jean Michel Basquiat T-shirt made by friends (so not the ones that are currently £12 at Uniqlo), Goody hairslide, black ballet flats, accessorized with a round velveteen handbag from the Muji outlet shop at Whiteley's (which I recommend because it's LOL cheap).

Uniqlo Keith Haring shirt purchase y/n?

suzy, Thursday, 22 May 2008 14:16 (eighteen years ago)

I'm wearing M&S gear.

snoball, Thursday, 22 May 2008 15:00 (eighteen years ago)

pics plz

kenan, Thursday, 22 May 2008 15:56 (eighteen years ago)

Nah, pics are for WDYLL.

suzy, Thursday, 22 May 2008 15:57 (eighteen years ago)

I'm wearing my standard issue gear for mornings when I have no school and no job - blue/white plaid pajama pants and a coffee stained t-shirt.

Z S, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:02 (eighteen years ago)

Suzy, yes buy the Uniqlo t-shirt. I got three great ones from the Japanese Pop Culture series in Hong Kong last year (£3 each!) They're pretty well made and don't do that twisty seam thing.

I'm just back from moving out of/decorating my old flat so I'm wearing crappy old clothes: Nike Airs that need to be thrown, paint-spattered Warehouse jean, nylon vintage sports shirt thing, a 14-year-old Manchester uni hoodie and a white i-pattern watch.

Madchen, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:07 (eighteen years ago)

cyan and blue stripes

black jeans

red deck shoes

the pinefox, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:08 (eighteen years ago)

M, YAY new flat, is it in the same part of town as the old one?

I just came back from charity shop, where I have just scored, also for £3, an Eley Kishimoto printed cardigan.

suzy, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:14 (eighteen years ago)

Excellent score!

I have moved from East to West and in with him indoors. It is quite different -- much more bustly and there is no longer the grim inevitability of being woken from my weekend lie-ins by the pipes and drums of the grim orangers over the next couple of months. Also I am about 50 yards from one of the three greatest cheese shops in the UK, which is quite nice.

Madchen, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:23 (eighteen years ago)

ps. PF, cyan and blue is a great combo.

Madchen, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:24 (eighteen years ago)

is that a joke?

I meant cyan and white, sorry.

the pinefox, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:29 (eighteen years ago)

white oxford shirt
black sweater with tweedy elbow patches
grey pants, a bit on the olive side
two-day beard
unnecessarily intense expression

kenan, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:31 (eighteen years ago)

^^^ the English supply teacher look.

M&S black jeans, brown M&S t-shirt which helpfully has "T-SHIRT" printed inside the collar in case you forget what it is.

snoball, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:59 (eighteen years ago)

Not a joke at all! I thought you meant cyan and a darker blue, like royal or navy. But I do think cyan and pretty much anything is great. Even eyepopping cyan and red.

Madchen, Thursday, 22 May 2008 17:10 (eighteen years ago)

those "engineered" levi's or whatever the fuck they are called.
some grey printed sneakers
some weirdo green sweater (which my mum gave)

i don't give a shit about clothes anymore. i could live in nice jeans with a black t-shirt for the rest of my life.

stevienixed, Thursday, 22 May 2008 19:09 (eighteen years ago)

i could do the same w/ different color t shirts

Surmounter, Thursday, 22 May 2008 19:09 (eighteen years ago)

like orange purple yellow cobalt bright blue kelly green pink red cream or orange

Surmounter, Thursday, 22 May 2008 19:10 (eighteen years ago)

i think i have about 867867 black tops now.

stevienixed, Thursday, 22 May 2008 19:13 (eighteen years ago)

i like black tops a lot. especially on girls. i love tight dark jeans and a hot black top, i just think that's the greatest outfit. with like black heels, and a tan.

Surmounter, Thursday, 22 May 2008 19:13 (eighteen years ago)

i could live in nice jeans with a black t-shirt for the rest of my life.

I did for years, but got fed up looking like an extra in The Matrix. A fat extra in The Matrix. So recently I've gone for the "youngish-to-middle-aged fart @ M&S" look.
