Another Series...What I Wear

I talked about my makeup, skin, & hair. Now people want me to talk about my clothing style. So, I will take the time to talk about my clothes. The series will be called, “What I Wear”. I will break each segment up by Dress & Skirts, Tops, Bottoms (jeans & skirts excluded), Jeans, Intimates, Shoes, and Outerwear & Accessories.

Umm my clothing style is what I call classic and charming.I always have (that me in high school in the burgundy)
By today dressing standards, other than when going grocery shopping & a few churches, I am actually overdressed. I just refuse to go out socially in jeans & flip flops and sneakers all the time. I just don’t understand being so casual all the time. I prefer a more spruced up look. So if I am overdressed, then I am overdressed.

Also when I say I dress classically. I still follow many dressing traditions. Some I've already talk about in previous post and I know they will come up again in the Intimates section. But yes, there are some things I still do that many have stop doing. I still follow the white rule. I only wear white (Not ivory, cream, ecru, pearl, and mother of pearl. White like Easter lily or Fresh Untouched Snow) bottoms, dresses & shoes between the time period of Easter and Labor Day. I don’t wear and actually frown upon sock & sandals. My mother made me wear those as a preschool aged child to VBS and I thought it was stupid. I don’t wear jackets & shorts. Are you cold or are you hot? Pick one a temperature and commit. I wear leggings are worn as hosiery. Also, tunics are tops not dresses.

I do break some “rules”. As a plus size women, I am not afraid of color. Matter of fact, people have to required me to wear all black outfits.

My Bestie Boo, LJ invited me to his birthday party boat one year and waited until after I accepted his invite to tell me the dress code of all black. That’s how adamant I am about wear all-black. (I know the black didn't match. Shush!!!)
If I wear black, I try to find the brightest colors I can to accent it. I refuse to believe I am too big to wear a color or a print.
My favorite colors are pink, blue, yellow and white. I own lots of those colors too, especially white. I actually own more white tops than the law should allow.

 
 
I also will wear a dress and a pair of pants together in the winter time.
Neckties & Necklaces have been worn as belts. I have worn belts are necklaces.

I’m not a clothing whore. I actually hate shopping. (That's my dislike face)

 It's a tedious chore to keep my body covered. For the most part (80%), I don’t dress trendy. Trends make me dislike shopping. Trends cost a lot of money to keep up with. I like classic pieces that never go out of style. But when I have to shop for a classic piece, I have to sift through the trends. That is frustrating. 60% of my clothing shopping is done online. I have trust places that I shop at so, I know buying online from them will work for me. 30% of my shopping offline is for some of my intimate wear, shoes from places or brands I’m not sure of and non-clip earrings accessories. Maybe I’ll talk about where I shop. Keyword is maybe. If I shop for trends, I scour clearance and sale sections. I can wait until all the fashion slaves get through buying stuff at marked up prices at the beginning of the season. Then around the end of the midseason I started watching the price lower to a price I feel is proper to pay. That's when I buy trends. Rather late than never is my rule.

Hope you guys enjoy this journey through my closest. Leave any questions you have in the comments.
