My latest fashion acquisition was actually from my own closet! I've had a dress for many years that I grew tired of. I hemmed it and it is now a very attractive and fashionable tunic top. I'd much rather recycle and update my own clothing than go shopping. It saves time, money and is environmentally friendly.
Next big fundraising drive giveaway - WNYC baseball hat with ear flaps!
WOW, we went from Drones, life and death questions, Africa at war and now meaningless fashion, that no one really wears.?? Maybe we are decadent.
i want to let you all know that i bought gloves from a guy on 14th st. yesterday. they're black. each glove has a space for 5 fingers, which i possess. i bought a hat too. it's black w/ grey lines and i put it on my head when it's cold. i bought both for $10. what do you all think about my latest clothing purchase? riveting radio, huh?
My partner gave me a stylist session for Christmas. With help of my wonderful personal closet purger and shopper, I was able to replace 90% of my wardrobe (which we lovingly threw out - some items were 20 years old), with 6 or so wonderful pieces from Anthropologie. It took took my stylist singing the theme song from "The Brady Bunch" to point out that we needed to update my acutal retro look into a current retro look! My two favorite pieces are the skinny jeans I never thought I could actually wear and a wonderful red and black blazer - that just seems to go with everything.
GET FASHION WEEK OUT OF LINCOLN CENTER!!!!! THEY HAVE RUINED DAMROSCH PARK AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL OF THE RESIDENTS IN THE AREA!!!! (Go to the piers, jacob javits, etc., etc.)
I'm part of a group of Brooklyn public school moms who haunt the various Brooklyn Salvation Army shops to find amazing fashion treasures, sometimes for as little as 99 cents. I can't reveal which locations, or our secret will be out! We look fabulous.
The fashion industry is c.exclusive guilds.ontrolled by a monopoly like the art industry
I think a lot of people would tell you the last piece of clothing they bought was their Nets hat or jersey. Sports apparel is a funny way of declaring your individual style while also joining a hive of thousands of people wearing the exact same thing!
