fall fashion 2011

i kinda want a big cable knit shawl collar seafarer type sweater but every time i tell ari about it she laughs at me

i really need new pants too and acne is no longer selling the ones i really liked

it is one of the universes great injustices that i am not obscenely rich, given that i have such good taste

max did you end up on that site because you like websites with miniature animated dudes who interact with you/wander around onscreen?

how did you know about my fetish

i think it had informed some other area of your interests on ilx in the past, i forget what

just because you dress like one doesn't mean you will become one though :/

haha laurel, you might appreciate this: i put on a tartan shirt and tartan tie this morning... and i just realized that they are variants on the same tartan. and i layered a rugby shirt over it all. wtf scottish lol.

also, both tartans are of the clan that has the same name as my dog o_o

max there are a lot of varsity-styled jackets this season, it's def a thing now, i'm sure you could find one at a good price!

it would be a nice gesture if she laughed all the way to the bank and then drew out some money and bought you one.

gant rugger varsity jacket -- it's a nylon body instead of wool but it's p similar and it's on sale for ~$200 less than the ervell:

yeah i like the wool though! also everything ive gotten from UO falls apart really fast

also real talk i cant really even afford a $100 jacket so while were *daydreaming* i might as well go for PE

also as i said i already have 3 different fall jackets + two sweatshirts + a number of flannels so its like the last thing i need

i got this ervell "fall shirt" last year when i was flush with cash and i love, love love love love love love it

i hear you on the UO stuff in general but gant rugger is actually p great quality

i would love that fall shirt! looks very wearable.

think i will probably get these while back in the uk next week

colour is "cola"

desert boots are great

ha otm. i have bought one pair per year for the past 3 years!

is there any way to get that ervell shirt for < the current retail? are there deals to be had? : (

i got mine at an opening ceremony sample sale

so...... move to new york!

oy!

I ordered that Weekend by Max Mara (secondary line, still $$$ but not ridiculous for something I will wear every day, every winter, for at least a decade)! It is shipping from the UK from a place called matches that looks like my kinda store. Crossing my fingers that the UK 12 was a good call. Anyhow, thanking u ilx for recommending max mara and thus drastically streamlining my search for a camel coat.

(Note: the coat is 49% wool, 33% alpaca, 12% nylon, 6% angora. Should be very warm with the alpaca in there!)

how much was shipping?

forty five US bucks!

coats man. heavy shit.

yay q! hope it works out! i bet the UK 12 is right? i would have the same issue with uk size (10 or 12) and i usually err on the side of sizing up because if the shoulders don't fit, it's no good

also can i just make a comment: people are crazy. missoni for target? i know some of the crazy is just hype and marketing strategery but people! the stuff is still target quality and imo hideous! if you are going to troll ebay to buy missoni at a couple hundred a pop, dang, buy the real thing

japanese teenagers gotta do SOMETHING to bide the time

the missoni thing is kinda funny, i had a friend who rapturously facebooked about the missoni lounge pants she scored. i mean. missoni lounge pants. c'mon.

sorry vah1d

I kind of hate Missoni to begin with so I haven't understood this mania at all.

that sweater! dig the raglan sleeve

xpost yeah i hate it too - the prints, the colors, everything. completely not my style.

that sweater is great

norse projects has some great sweaters

i like this guy too

*sighs deeply*

Quincie: UK sizes are US+4 so US 6 = UK 10; US 8 = UK 12, etc
But my feeling is the actual fit depends on the store and usually on their range of sizes (so if the smallest they have is a size 2, that's likely to be similar to a size 4 in another shop where that's the smallest they run to).

With coats it's really hard anyway because I find sizing is often all over the place and depends on how thick it is, the cut, etc. 12 is probably fine!

UK sizes are US+4 so US 6 = UK 10; US 8 = UK 12

It's so weird because some websites state what you said and others say it's +2 which is what I said yesterday. So inconsistent. US 6 = 8, US 8 = 10 and so on. I've definitely found that +2 to be closer most often. Nearly everything would be way too big if I went by the +4 thing.

For instance these two both do the +2

http://www.onlineconversion.com/clothing_womens.htm

http://www.asknumbers.com/ClothingWomensConversion.aspx

Whereas this one does the +4

http://www.fashion-411.com/Size_Conversions.htm

I guess though is we can't have standardized sizing across the industry within the country it would be ridic to expect international conversions to be consistent.

Yeah I checked here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clothing_size#Women
and 'dresses and suits' and 'women's clothes' are different! It's so dumb. Same as Quincie, I have managed to narrow my 'size' down to about 3 :-)

Hm, maybe that is why I've been finding clothes here generally too big, although I usually just look for the smallest size and that's often too big (and I'm not exactly a skinny waif) - I guess a lot of stuff is designed to be drapy or loose right now.

Thinking about it I probably learned the +4 thing solely from H&M labels...

how convenient that so many clothes are drapy and loose -- this means they don't have to actually "fit" and more people will buy them.
dislike.

isn't this, like, one of the perks of dating same sex? sharing clothes?

yeah, sure, its more as elmo sd theres a weird territory btw 'want to smash' and 'want to dress/look like' thats sorta a queasy masturbatory thing going on a bit idk sorta outside the purview of this thread

ya, i get that. i always think it's weird when you see twinsies walking down the street

Can't find that white norse projects sweater in medium :(

max there are a lot of varsity-styled jackets this season, it's def a thing now, i'm sure you could find one at a good price!

this has been a thing for a while, hasn't it? or was it more in the hip hop scene and moving it's way into the normal style scene? i got this one back in 08
