I was totally going to dress as Sarah Palin!

Kian Yamaguchi — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 21:03:55 -0600

I feel your pain. I'm 39. Much of what I love, I consider too young (always want to stop at White House/Black Market but never do) or now too small. I love the way J. Crew and the like look on so many women I see online (or here at BlogHer) but no matter how hard I try, I look frumpy or ridiculous. When I go the other route, I look like mutton dressed as lamb and ridiculous.

What doesn't help is that my husband is 9 years older than me, stuck in an 80's timewarp of what looks good on women and seems to think that I look like I'm 18, so therefore can wear anything. I love my husband but he's really nuts.

So, I can't answer your question because I have the same question. I am still looking for that happy medium.

MIchelle Obama's Shoe Picks

Merrill — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 16:53:41 -0600

Hi,

Besides the Obama girls, a lot of attention will now be focused on Michelle's fashion picks. There was a wonderful article recently posted by Trendy Shoes Shop which also happened to be covered in the Fashion Tribes site entitled: "Shoes of Power: Are The Potential White House Women Obsessed with Fashion"

About time....

Gaucho Fashion

Rusita — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 18:40:20 -0500

It seems to me that these pants are gaucho alike. Specifically the hat, and the wide belt, are similar to the "faja" the gauchos wear in South America.

Have you tried Bombachas de campo fashion? Or "gaucho trousers"? Please visit my blog "Huellas de Campo" and tell me what do you think about it.

Great helps

I overheard someone in the hall saying "Wait! make it vertical, for the header!" before they took their photo...

Mad inventions: underwear!

Liz Henry — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:39:14 -0500

Minnie and I invented the best underwear fashion: alphabet beads + thongs! I was thinking you could spell your name in beads across the top string, which then peeks out over your butt cleavage. It's a DIY craft project! And it's underwear!

Minnie one-upped me by pointing out that the kits need to include numbers. Then the most "adventurous" among us can write out their phone numbers in their butt cracks.

I expect someone else will make 1 million dollars off this idea. We will then be bitter. We predicted the hats-with-ears trend like 15 years ago and are we rich? No.

Just As Long As I Don't Have It Under My Nose

myrnatheminx — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 01:12:57 -0500

All the time! Working at the library at a large university, I saw enough crack to last me a lifetime. Nothing really new about it! As long as it's not under my nose at work all day, I could care less what kind of underwear someone wears.

I also took a peek on the butt cleavage link, and some of the featured pics look fun... and uncomfortable. I like fashion, but i think i"ll pass on this one =)

Surely we're not policing underwear, really!

alyssaroyse — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 09:35:25 -0500

Okay, so I clicked on the butt cleavage link, and it was all underwear. Surely we don't really care what kind of underwear people are wearing now, do we. (Unless, of course, it is leaving panty lines, then we care very much.) :) I thought those panties were really cute, and if I was "with" someone who loved my butt so much that a tiny peen out the top of my panties did him / her in, you bet I'd put those on for fun. Frankly, they're a whole lot more conservative than some of our most basic non-panty-line panties in most of our drawers now!

If ever there was a personal choice that I really don't think we get to judge, it would be underwear.

Heck, let's go all the way

If we're going to have butt cleavage, let's go all the way - vag cleavage! Why not? Show it ALL off, ladies. (joking. I am just appalled at the butt thing).
