On current fashion
Can't vampirise the LJ completely, and I do have other passions. Like shopping. And I've had a pretty productive mall trip yesterday.
So I'll just ask: how cool is it that lowrise jeans and pants are finally on their way out? I've tried on a dozen pairs, grabbed randomly from three different shops, and only three were lowrise. Even the fashionable pencil-leg jeans now come in on-the-waist varieties, one of which I acquired - my first store-bought pair of jeans in four years or more. (And no, my hatred of lowrise isn't because of modesty issues. They're just tailored - tightly - to the typical no-hips, no-waist Polish figure. I have up to a 0.7 waist-to-hip ratio. Do the math. I actually own a pair of lowrise jeans, when I found one that fit my hips...)
The other thing I really like about this season's clothing is the dandy image. Satin waistcoats, tailored shirts, chains and pearls and nonchalant attitude. I managed to find a bottle-green tailored shirt - the first one ever that fits me perfectly - at H&M, but I continue on the waistcoat quest. See hip-to-waist ratio, complaints about ~_~
Still, happiest about the jeans. Mostly because they bring my tally of pants that actually fit to four pairs. Sometimes losing weight is annoying ;)
