Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2007for the ladies; fashion
I don't know who read the one of the posts from when I started here a week or so ago, I said that I LOVE pretty clothes. I was looking in a style magazine at the dentist's office yesterday and I saw some things that I am dying to wear again. They were predicting high waisted pants coming back in. I am long waisted and these pants are for me. I can't wait until I can choose clothes of all differrent styles without having to worry about being too fat for them. I will be printing out some of these pics for inspiration. These items won't be around in the fall, of course, but similar things will. And, I'm not going to cheap out and do my own shopping. I'm going to get DH to go with me. He buys quality. >I don't know who read the one of the posts from when I started here a week >or so ago, I said that I LOVE pretty clothes.

SignatureSherry lowcarb.owly.net "Ann in Houston" >I don't know who read the one of the posts from when I started here a week > or so ago, I said that I LOVE pretty clothes. I LOVE non-pretty clothes! Wait, that doesn't make sense. That's like this movie ad lately saying "They framed an innocent man!" and I'm thinking, Well, that's the only kind that can be framed....

I sit behind a young woman in my history class that cares only about comfort. Fine for her. I'm sure I look like I feel that way, too. Not for long, I hope. And, when my fifteen year old daughter is ready to settle down, I'm having a tee shirt made for her that says, "I hate to shop!". She will have men lined up around the block. Anyway, that's why I "warned" the ladies of the group that it was about clothes. So there! ; ) P.S. You're right about framing an innocent man.

Isn't that just her speculation? It seems to me she is linking her feelings about those "comfortable clothes" (what are we talking about here--sweat shirts?) with her speculation that they "don't care." Pat in TX Ladies and fashion leaves Tara Legale out since its tarps ands tents for her, and that goes for our girl Carol Gulley to. ------- I forgot more about ponds and koi than I'll ever know! ::: FOB wrote: ::::: In my opinion clothes can be both pretty and comfortable.

Yeah, and of course, those are my words which takes the entire matter even farther into speculation. Still, I do think there are people who dress for comfort and don't care so much about looks. > Yeah, and of course, those are my words which takes the entire matter even > farther into speculation. > Still, I do think there are people who dress for comfort and don't care so > much about looks. Have you seen those elderly ladies lately who have their heads nearly shaved? My own MIL had her hair cut like a little boy's with just a part on one side. This was a woman who was so particular while she was a school teacher, and today looks well, butch. I have long noticed the older ladies wearing sweatsuits all winter in the stores, but lately, they seem to have decided to cut their hair about an inch long all over as well. Why, just on the Colbert show tonight he had on Rep. Eleanor Holmes-Norton and she had her hair cut like that! What is this--a takeover by the pod people or something? Pat in TX ::: Yeah, and of course, those are my words which takes the entire ::: matter even farther into speculation. [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] :: :: Pat in TX haha! Similar thoughts here. Okay, here's the bitter truth. As you get older your hair gets thinner. As it turns grey or white those hairs get wiry so it gets harder to make it do what you want it to do. And, as you get older most get less concerned about their looks and less willing to spend lots of time on their appearance. Thus a nice short hairdo that is basically wash and wear is very appealing to the wearer. |||| Yeah, and of course, those are my words which takes the entire |||| matter even farther into speculation.

Okay, I agree with nearly everything you wrote. Except, sometimes the "nice short hairdo" isn't as nice as the person things. It looks more like a concentration camp inmate or a poodle with a bad clip. > Okay, I agree with nearly everything you wrote.

And also -- which my hair guy told me a year or so ago -- the grey hair that comes in is not as strong and more likely to break. He said I had a lot more hair, but it was grey and all broken -- only a couple of inches long. So I can imagine when I get more and more grey, it won't make sense to try to keep it any longer -- not without a lot of messing with it, which I just don't do anymore.

I am sorry your hair is getting broken, but I see plenty of older people around here with long gray hair...most of them aging hippies (men!), but still....I know a woman with gray hair and she tells me it is wiry and coarser than her brown hair (and more resistant to curling). So, everybody's hair is different and not everyone's gray hair is the same.

Unless you're "looking around" with your face two inches from your friend's head, I'm not sure how you can tell what's going on with their hair. I already admitted you are much more knowledgeable than he is -- don't know what else you need, but whatever it is, consider you have it. Okay? I thought I was grumpy -- at least I have good days here and there. You don't seem to have that going for you.

He's trying to tell you that "it happens to everybody." It doesn't. That's my point. 2. I can see people with long gray hair, so this business of gray hair breaking and being weak isn't true of everyone. If that's what he told you, then he was trying to make you feel better about your hair problems. 3. I can "look around" and see people with thin hair and thick hair--all of the thin hair I see isn't gray. Some of it is, but not all. Pat in TX Hey, maybe it's long gray hairs, instead of long gray hair. :-) Cheri >2. I can see people with long gray hair, so this business of gray hair >breaking and being weak isn't true of everyone. If that's what he told you, Probably for the ease of it. Depending on age, arthritis and things like that probably dictate what they wear. I have a couple of elderly aunts that can't drive anymore, and really don't have strength in their hands to use curling irons and things like that these days, so they keep their hair very short. I would imagine the same goes for buttons and things that are hard to fasten. Cheri >Have you seen those elderly ladies lately who have their heads nearly >shaved?

Well, that's a lofty goal! ;-P Give me some Levi's, a black turtleneck and a black belt, and I'm good to go. Susan I bet you look great in that outfit too. BTW, what's a belt? ;-) Cheri >x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Susan > I bet you look great in that outfit too. BTW, what's a belt? ;-) I don't know about great, but I look like me and I'm comfortable. A belt means I'm *really* dressed up. ;-) Susan Oh, yeah, Chico's comes to mind. That's one store that I won't shop w/o DH because I get a case of the cheapskates. Coldwater Creek is as much as I can stand to spend, and then it's the clearance racks for me. But comfortable at goal weight is a totally different matter than comfortable now. ; ) > In my opinion clothes can be both pretty and comfortable. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > | about clothes.

Okay, then, I have just what you need! It's called micro-fleece. Comes in a lots of colors like dune, ravine, ridge, cloud, and overcast (not to be confused with slate or gneiss). It is so light, it seems as if it isn't there! LL Bean has them in pullover or zip front. Something for everyone and SO pretty! Pat in TX Yes, I have quite a few fleece items. | Okay, then, I have just what you need!

Well, if they're not micro-fleece, you just don't know what you're missing! I tried to tell a guy about this stuff and he said, "I've had fleece for years!" but this ain't your grandpa's fleece.

Flower power and all of that. I wore those, too, though mostly tops and dresses I made out of Indian beadspreads and batik for a while in my early teens. But when I was in HS it was de rigeur hippie garb for girls to wear flannel shirts and construction boots. Most of us stole the shirts from our fathers. The > lesbians I know wear the same clothes as everyone else.... So do many of the ones I know, but many, including very femme ones, have certain clothing habits that differ.

Us guys are waiting for "Hot Pants" to come back. Till then we don't care what you wear. John If you're watching for hot pants to come back, you fell asleep watching. Now, they just call them shorts and you should be watching for 'Daisy Dukes' - which are also easily spotted, especially on tv. Hot pants were never that short. >>I don't know who read the one of the posts from when I started here a week >>or so ago, I said that I LOVE pretty clothes.
