FF Fashion Confessions

I confess I do not like anything with a cowl neck.  I think it looks ok on other people, but when I wear it, it's just so flip floppy, and never lays right, I just can't stand it any longer.  I'm wearing a swear with a cowl neck right now, and all I can think about it going home to take it off and never wearing it again.

Re: FF Fashion Confessions

  • I will wear pants 2-3 times before washing them.  Same goes with bras.  Sweaters will get 2 wears a season before I take them to the dry cleaners and pack them away until next year, though I'm thinking of trying to watch them myself in the new machines, but I have never had luck in the past and I'm afraid of ruining them.

  • Cowl necks look awesome on me.

    I confess that I have yet to wear the red shoes I was obsessing over and bought like three weeks ago.

    I confess that I think TOMS flats are just as stupid looking as TOMS classics or TOMS wedges. Stupid.

    This is me with the Naya Briars I was finally able to track down.  Have I worn them yet?  Nope.

    I do the pants thing too. I don't like having them shrink up and having to re-stretch them.

    I also confess that last week I wore khakis to work that may have had a strawberry stain in the shape of a certain toddler's handprint. I didn't realize it until I was already here.

    I also confess that I ignore the manufacturer's instructions and just wash my sweaters with all my other stuff. They're all from freaking Old Navy and are going to fall apart anyway.

  • I am getting partial to ruffles, especially ruffles on tanks that I can layer with cardigans.

    Speaking of cardigans, I think I have an unhealthy obsession. 

    Also, I love layers solid camis and tops together -- I don't know if this is still "in style" but I'm sticking with it.

    And I almost want to purchase a pair of pink skinny jeans.  Almost.

  • I wash my jeans every 3-4 wears.  Main reason is because when I do wear jeans it's usually only for a couple hours. 

    I don't like Toms.  But I like baby Toms.  And I'm pretty sure when Evie starts walking and needs shoes, I'm buying Mommy and Baby Toms.  In the pink glitter color.

    I think my worst offense is I wear leggings as pants.  And I go out in public wearing them. I make sure my top goes past my hips, so does that make it OK?

    Not leggings, but I am guilty of the yoga pants out in public.  Especially on Mondays with I'm home and being lazy with Sam.

  • I also love ruffles.

    I still layer tops, I feel like it hides my rolls better.  And it also makes it easier to conceal BF'ing public better... as well as my stomach!

    I love dressing up but I never have anywhere to go!

    Yoga pants make frequent outtings, as well.  I pretty much never dress up anymore and if I do dress up, it's jeans and a nice shirt. yay for mommyhood!

  • I always ignore the washing instructions. "Dry Clean Only" = wash on the delicate cycle (w/ cold water) & either hang to dry or lie flat. The only exceptions are my leather coat & my down coat. Those actually get taken care of per the instructions.

  • I usually wear most pants a few times before washing.  I used to do the same with sweaters, but my ofice is so freaking hot that I feel sweaty and nasty by the end fo the day so I usually wash them after every wear now.

    I don't buy anything that needs to be dry cleaned.

    I pretty much wear different variations of the EXACT same thing pretty much every day.  I need variety.  Seriously.

  • I wash dry clean only stuff with the rest of my stuff. You know what? It's just fine! Dry clean only is a bunch of bs so far in my experience.

    Oh I wear leggings as pants all the time. Check out my OOTD on F&B or ML. My tops/cardigans cover my ass and then some, so whatever.

    I have recently started to like Navy again since its now okay to mix neutrals. Same with brown.

    I just bought a pair of maternity crop pants. Even though I'm not pg. In my defense, I'm having some nerve pain with my csection scar that makes it uncomfortable to wear real pants...but also mat pants are hella comfortable.

    I wear the same thing over and over and over these days. Leggings, nursing top, cardi, and boots. I'm struggling with cute things to wear while pumping. Yesterdays dress outfit seemed to go over well but it was a MASSIVE pita to pump in. I had to completely undress each and every time.

    I have another confession: I have been wearing my dressy maternity pants to work lately. 1) they are more comfy & 2) since I'm trying to lose weight, I don't want to go out and buy some pants to wear in the mean-time when I have these that fit.

    Me too.

    My confession: I had people over to judge everything in my closet on Monday.  They vetoed, among many, many things, all but 3 of my sweaters and my ON Rockstar jeggings.  I donated them all to charity that night so I wasn't tempted to wear them again.

    I have worn tennis shoes with a hole in the toe every day this week but Monday because my broken toe can have a little breathing room.

    I also wear pants 2-3 times and bras 2-3 times- my bras take way too long to dry and are too exp to wash after every wear, I'd have nothing on 4 days a week.

  • I'm to lazy to get my jeans hemmed so I just cuff them:(

  • Add me to the club of:

    ~2-3 wears before I wash pants/bras

    ~Layering solid color tees/long sleeves with solid tanks. <---pretty much my entire work wardrobe and pretty much all from ON clearance racks. Embarrassed

    Also:

    ~I wear little to no accessories (as my wedding rings don't count as accessories to me). All the time. Today I'm wearing a necklace, only because it is a silver heart and today was the Valentine's party.

    ~I buy $10 purses from Wal-Mart because I'm too cheap to buy something that just gets dirty. The most expensive purse I own is a verrrrrrrry small Coach that my mother bought me for Christmas last year. It was on sale for $100.

    I do this too.  When people complement me on my jeans and say how cute the cuffs are I always laugh a little inside.

    I will say, the #1 thing I don't scrimp on is my purses.  I'm super, duper hard on them so the only things that last are good quality leather or Kate Spade's nylon lines.
