Anyway not purposely trying to make any judgement statements. Just interested in what people like to wear.
I like vests and jeans and dressing them up. I mostly wear casual clothes but I like to dress them up. I don't like to wear stilettos often because they are bad for your feet and posture if you wear them all the time. I like to wear shorts or gladiator skirts with leggings. I have some black leggings and grey ones. I also have a pair of canary yellow ones which I wear with a grey top.
Interesting how fashion is becoming much of what it was 50 years, even a hundred yrs ago. I realise it is more important to get the inner person right and more important but I have always liked fashion. God made the first fashion statement with the skins He made for Adam and Eve. I think He would've made them look good too.

I usually wear jeans and cute teeshirts.
However I have been known to wear some funky skirts
such as bohemian style,or flashy to church.

My most individual fashion statement is costume jewelry. You wear some stunning sterling silver or rhinestones from the 1950's and people will comment on it. Some costume jewelry is absolutely beautiful, yet affordable.
So do I. I am the middle child and I am used to getting my sister's hand me downs. She spends up big on clothes but is a little straight for my taste. She is very conservative in style, she calls me wild woman  . She also has larger hoofers than me and we have also grown quite apart. Actually come to think of it she is not really close friends with anyone and she seems miserable to me. Last time I saw her she was doing the high and mighty trip with her brand new Bentleigh  . I give her heaps. She wants to crawl under the table with some of the stuff I say . I like it . Anyway she is a fashion victim and sometimes she gives me something she no longer wears though I never ask and don't expect it. (I may stop taking it because last time I was wearing a Versace jacket and she commented how it used to be hers and I don't like that. I would rather wear a potato sack).
Yes I have found many a treasure at an op shop (we call them opportunity shops here). Often I wear something I found there and get compliments from rich people who wouldn't know the difference if it hit them. I am also fortunate to be sample size in both shoes and clothing because I get more of a choice of sample clothes as they are usually my size. I also like to wear one offs. As soon as someone else gets it, suddenly it is not so nice anymore.
Today I wore a mini with pink and grey flowers and swirls (can't remember what those swirls are called, they have a proper name) with a grey top and vest and grey leggings with my cowboy boots (Cuban heel)  . Oh yeah, I also wore my pearls. I like pearls, they remind me of children somehow. One day I want to make clothing for some children who have no one to love them. Bright coloured ones, specially made with love.

Green is getting quite popular. It is a very healing colour.
Wild Rose how do you get that photo bucket thing up? I'll have to investigate. I like computers but they are so complex that I lose patience.
I like fish nets because they are better to wear than stockings. I like nice materials as well. Silk or Linen or cotton, natural stuff and fish nets, they are not good material like silk or cotton but they don't make you feel like a sausage .
What are your dresses like? Do you think the fashion is returning to what it was? It seems like that happens and not only with fashion but with music as well .

Oh, Photobucket is easy, and free. You just open an account at photobucket.com From your digital camera you put the photos on your computer, and from your computer you upload the photos into your account on Photo bucket. And you can set up different sections, such as business (I sell on eBay) personal photos, Pets, house, garden etc however you want to divide up your photos to keep them organized.
Then when you want to show someone a picture you just have to copy and paste the link.
An added advantage is that if your computer ever dies, you have your pictures already saved on an outside source.

Do stockings make you feel like a sausage?
Thinking about fashion victims:
About a month ago in Sydney, they had a stiletto race. Women in heels racing and for me it looked ridiculous. I can imagine what their backs and feet will look like in 20 yrs time and it don't look pretty. I hear women putting implants or shots of botox in the ball of their foot so they can wear them more. Sad really. Sad and tragic that they should be so over rated. Tragic that men (including Christians. At times they are the main offenders) esteem them so much; as they are bad for you to wear every day and they are not practical. I wear them sometimes. Very rarely though. I prefer to be healthy than to sacrifice that to look sexy.

I think it is important to look nice---and that can be done inexpensively. So, yeah, I try to look my best each and every day.
Today I'm wearing green cords, a sage green wb shirt, and a pretty green/teal/blue hoodie. I live where it gets cold and our days are getting colder now so soon I will be breaking out my sweaters.

On an average day I wear blue jeans, and a T shirt. As it gets colder I add a sweater. I own a few pairs of pants that are not jeans, more dressy. Maybe 4 or 5 times a year I'll wear a dress, but not often, just for dress up, going out to dinner or a Christmas celebration.

Are you me???? Well, I do wear a dress or skirt most times I go to church.

Oops, nope. Not me. Mine is unique patterns and designs on the sweaters and earrings I've designed myself (only sometimes).

I have just recently taken a class in wire wrapping beads to make jewelry. On eBay you can buy beautiful glass beads or agate stones for $5 or so. The you just need a little silver wire to make earrings or a pendant. A fun hobby. and an individual fashion statement.

I wore a striped blue, white and black jumper dress and black leggings with a silver belt and silver Roman sandals with my cross closer to my neck. It's on a stringy thing (member of God squad gave it to me at an ordination I happened to turn up to out of the blue without knowing it was on). I wore my hair up. I spend a little time on my hair and face and all that but not much. If I have to look good then I put on make up to be special but I would rather not have it on my skin. I can handle mascara because the sort I have crumbles off and a little eye liner and mostly I put that on at work (if I remember). Otherwise I am a bit of a punk I guess (though sometimes I surprise everyone with a more conservative look). Though there are many punks at my work and they think I am quite conservative, though I did buy my first pair of Doc Martens the other day. They are silver shoes and I saw them from far away and that was it. I had to have them. I walked past the other day and they have these black ones with roses on them (I soooo like roses, long story). Had to walk away. I have too many shoes taking up space in my study.

Today I'll wear scrubs and tennis shoes again, just like every work day. But I do get cute scrubs that are fitted for women and not the generic unisex ones that make me look like a box.
I have a closet full of cute things ranging from very casual jeans to dressy dresses (and LOTS of shoes!!!) and I love wearing every style, depending on the occasion. I'm a bargain shopper and I also love to sew, so I can have a great wardrobe without spending big $$$$$.

Sorry, Giulia, but if you're talking about Keen's (shoes) then I wear 'em.  I thought they were grotesque when I first saw them but they are very comfortable and the older I get, the more comfort matters. They have a wider toe bed (hence the ducky appearance) but they feel soooo good.
Anyway, I agree with the leopard prints. Don't like them except on the animal.
And as much as I enjoy dressing nicely, I do hope jeans never go out of fashion. They are by far my favorite.

I am grateful to be able to chose my own clothing rather. I cycle everywhere at the moment. I also Rollerblade a lot. I don't like the cycle clothing in lycra. In fact I find it hard to wear lycra because my skin doesn't breathe.

Beads from my collection

It wasn't so much the glasses that I notice, it was the fact that you had your hair tied back. Hair makes a fashion statement too. Let it flow!

I ride 17 kms to work. By the time I get there I am a bit messy. Also I like to wear my hair up when I am serious. My pastor used to tell me it doesn't offend the angels so much. Now I realise that the head covering is what makes the angels not be offended, but not always. Just when talking about God. My hair is very difficult to manage. Sometimes I scrunch it and put product in it so the curls don't frizz. As I said: when I have to take authority or be taken seriously I wear it up. I met a woman at a screenwriters conference; she had wonderful curls. We spoke about it because many people I know spend hours in front of the mirror straightening it and there are not many hairdressers who know how to make the natural curl stop from frizzing. There are many African hair shops here and she told me they fixed it for her and showed her how to do it with product. None of the hair dressers in Toorak knew what to do but the Africans in Sydney rd Brunswick did (Toorak is a rich suburb where the rich and famous hang out, Brunswick is for people like me:working class) I'll have to pop in to see them when I get some time.
Nice beads. I have some brown ones like your blue ones. I also have a kit which my brother bought me for Christmas because he knows I like beads as well. Just haven't had time to do anything with them yet.
I used to have a best friend in Morocco, as a girl and when I went and stayed with her I came back with a lot of amber beads. They also had a distinct smell.
I like clothing of every nationality and I also like some styles they used to wear in the old days. I had psychedelic flares and platforms. real clog hoppers. I had a pair of saddle shoes and plenty of shorts and minis. Sometimes I go to the ramps in the city and with leggings on the skirt just tops it. Don't like to wear leggings on their own.
