DRRRESSES: WANT

oh stupid fb! I guess mine is linked to my FB account so I can't help out there :( this is exciting though!

hahaha I just scrolled through that group and forgot how much I used to post there!

I can try, I think my FB uses my UK phone number and I can make one with a Canadian number...

I have a bunch of stuff that fits neither my new body (bigger) and my new career (casual-er), and I would be happy to part with them! Otherwise they are going to the Goodwill.

I have a bunch of stuff that is cute and too small for me as well! Would be happy to find it a home better than a box in the closet.

ok i emailed ljub the gmail info

i want to take dece photos so will wait til saturday to post i think, but yeah i have tons of stuff that is way too small for me, lots of stuff i bought that i thought ONE DAY I WILL FIT THIS, stuff that i ended up not having the confidence to wear.

i also have some nice shoes! one pair was only worn once - they're tan leather round toe wedge heel oxfords or brogues or whatever. size 8 i think.

would anyone have a problem doing $0.01 paypal transactions for stuff? it's just printing shipping labels thru PP is way easier than USPS website.

good idea!

USPS site is such a piece of shit

Hey yeah this is cool! I have limited closet space and am more into the peaceful agrarian ST:TNG alien look these days (aka middle aged feminist poetry professor). I don't know what all would fit youse but I'll throw it on there anyway. I don't have Facebook so I'd appreciate the dummy log in.

j, gmail says the email and password you sent me don't match! Can you try your end? Maybe I am doing something dumb.

... if you do get in, there should be an email from fb asking you to verify the email address. The fb account is set up (half set-up) with the same password.

ugh i don't know wtf i did but i messed up either the username or the pw (and it took for fucking ever to set up that stupid account) - i didn't write it down bc i thought i'd easily remember it! i must have changed one or the other right before i created it??? my short term memory is so fucked due to lack of sleep lately.

i can't even get in at all bc i didn't use any back up stuff for that account.

sorted, I tried the pw with one character different and it worked! I confirmed the FB account I'd up before realizing you had already done that part so Jane D did not get used. Ayele Exor is alive and well.

Lol Ayele Exor

That's a fantastic name!

I can't seem to add her to the group, but I think you can J?

you need to friend request her first - you can only add friends

She's in!

i've totally got a case of oh-noes about this now: i don't want you all seeing how truly boring and style-less my clothes are!!!!!

LOL I only wear leather haute couture so I am definitely going to judge you

Yeah I am definitely NOT wearing weirdly shaped, awkward-length black pants and a tunic that would be right at home on a lunch lady rn, definitely not.

I legitimately got stopped on the street the other day and asked if I work in fashion, hahahahaha. It really made me feel good about the awkward mid-calf army boots I threw on because of the rain with my regular black pencil skirt. But mostly my hair distracts and confuses people; my clothes are boring

why do you think i got tattoos?? i can basically wear frumpy whatever clothes and they get a little boost from the hipster element.

tattoos go really well with sleeveless housedresses imo ... and I just realized I forgot to post to this thread about my LA vacation which was partially spent looking for vintage housedresses. I figured that outside of Florida, LA would have a great selection. Was a bit disappointed tbh but I got a couple gems.

one day I will have tattoos too! But I bought 3 of the same black spandexy pencil skirt a few weeks ago because of my new job (& because I love them), so my wardrobe isn't going anywhere exciting anytime soon.

my LA vacation which was partially spent looking for vintage housedresses
damn that sounds like so much fun
i don't have any tattoos and i think some people expect me to be more square than i am (maybe) but that's their problem

the most noticeable thing about LA vintage stores vs. SF Bay Area ones -- LA stores are so much bigger!

i bet the clothes were really outlandish too -- i love to try on ridiculous costumey things and LA seems perfect for that
i did some thrift shopping in maine and it was pretty great -- i got a shirt + some earrings in belfast and was wowed by the selection in bangor even though i didn't have any room in my luggage :(

i forgot there's a thread for this!

i was gonna ask, do we have a vintage & thrifting thread?

i'm over here in the green section, see you by the hats

thanks!

FB password didn't work for me :(

Bon voyage, blue dress! Have fun in Canada! Enjoy your free healthcare!

tr, did the password you tried end in an e or something else? If something else, replace that with an e.

It works now.

decluttered a yr or so ago, got rid of tons of dresses, but kept a few things i couldn't bear to give to goodwill.

so, posting those on fb now, all mostly unworn, plus a couple of camisoles & a tshirt (new). all women's sizes M or L.

so much stuff i never wear!

ahh I have been so all over the place since we got back from vacation that I have not had a chance to get on here and say CARL! I got the dress and it is beautiful and my exact preferred shade of blue!! :) I have not tried it on yet because my house is a disaster and I almost immediately lost it in a pile of clothes while unpacking but I am going to dig it out this week and possibly wear to a winery* this weekend!

*I really hate wine tasting type activities but sometimes that's what you gotta do on a girls' weekend to be a fun team player type friend

(thank you, Carl!!)

You're so welcome! It would be a good dress to wear to a winery because it's pretty comfortable and uncomplicated so you can get wasted in it without worrying about a wardrobe malfunction.

People would not shut up about how much they loved the dress! I hope you enjoyed my instagram preening, haha. I'll get you back one day! Let me know when Ivy is big enough to wear a women's small tee, because my friend put a Blondie tshirt into a goodwill bag and I snagged it, too sad to let it ride out into the ether

:D

To all of it!

Hey ladies, I got you a dress

http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/simgad/13346434995243223593

The name is ridiculous ;) but to me that really basically is the ultimate dress

that's because you are hot womenposter

true

if it changed color while i was wearing it :D

I'm going to a fancy albeit daytime wedding followed by an evening reception with a sit down dinner in Milwaukee on Labor Day weekend and I'm become deeply enamored with this dress. Appropriate?
