There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

Fabulous Fashion is my discomfort zone thread.
I live in a cold big urban city on the East Coast. Most of my outfits are black.
My biggest worry is does my black blouse match my black pants.
"Do my blacks match?" ???
Carry on....
@FISH Oh yes! This is a legit concern!!!  :D
Break it up with a splash of color! Scarf perhaps?
I'm glad you stopped in, don't be nervous...sit down, have some tea...

My splash of color is wearing the L.L.Bean's classic utility jacket in the winter--dusty olive.
I do wear a Bonhomme scarf in the winter. Ask @Bart Ell who is Bonhomme.
In the summer I wear a 100% cotton, double-sided printed paisley Bandana--black, gray or pink. Never RED.
I drink Starbucks coffee - 2 cups every morning-- summer, spring, fall and winter.
I play vinyl records.
HOWEVER, I am not a HIPSTER.
Thank you for the "welcome" Ms. Dot.
ps/Not sure if you ever want to 'speak' to me again. ;D

Bairyn bought Astronaut ice cream at  the L.L. Bean store in Maine.
That utility jacket looks like it would be a great place to store said ice cream.

I appreciate your choices, @FISH . Of course you're not a Hipster. That is just a supposed slur propagated by the tragically unhip. Besides, all the real Hipsters have been rounded up and re-located to specific settlements. Like North Park in San Diego. You are a proud individual who is not afraid to like what she likes. And that is always in Fashion. But always best to check with @PolkaDot , just in case

I do not speak FRENCH.
After visiting old Quebec City many times in the summer, I finally went to Quebec’s Winter Carnival. I walked into an outdoor tent to buy a Bonhomme scarf. I did not know his name was Bonhomme @Bart Ell .
In subzero weather, with my poor English. I asked to buy a scarf with the “little ice cream man" on it. I was unaware that this was a snowman. I thought it was an 'ice cream' man. The sales person looked at me like I was nuts. Her English was as bad as my French.
I was wearing my Bonhomme’s Effigy.  I should have just pointed to my effigy. Since my eye balls were starting to freeze, I just walked away empty handed.
So Yes Mr. Bart, my utility jacket looks great with my 'little ice cream man' scarf.

Fashion only exist in warm sunny areas.
In the far Northeast there is no fashion.
However, I will listen to other's advice.  ;)

What!!!?! No, no, no, no, NO!
You're giving me the sads!
I live in the cold 6 months out of the year too, and girl I can melt ice! You're missing out on all the fun fluffy, furry, soft goodness of winter.  :(

That is so funny! I blame sunny climes (and my petite stature) for my lack of fashion sense. Hats, coats, boots, layers, even heavier materials can't be tolerated. When the weather warms up just a tad and I feel the Spring stirrings I will resurrect the TigerLily BohoChic Collection here. My meager attempt at Fashion posting

I bet you look great in it. I'm envisioning it with black skinny jeans and boots:

Serious question, can someone please please tell me why the brown Louis Vuitton purses with the yellow logo are so popular?  It seems like just about every Waman is packing one around, and to me they are hideous. 

(Never mind that brown should rarely be a fashion choice, that's a different post)


These, in any shape and size one can imagine:

I have no idea- I wouldn't be caught dead with one. Prestige of the label maybe? It's like Coach, ladies love Coach. *shrug* When often you could just make a purse out of actual money and it would be more attractive.

However, you should not ask if the back is genuine: https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/news/a3456/what-it-really-means-when-someone-asks-if-your-purse-is-real/
Also, @PB you are going to need to prove your point about brown.

@FISH - I have a couple of casual go-to winter coats.

This is one of them from Patagonia. It's an 800 Fill, it packs down really nice for hiking and it's keeps me nice and warm in the winter. For every day or packing it's awesome. It comes in great colors too. Check it out:
