#ScribesAndMakers 9/25. How would you describe your fashion sense?
Is "comfortable" a fashion sense? lol
I have never followed fashion trends, but fashion trends are never made with bodies like mine in mind 🙄
And I prefer to be comfortable. Easy movement, cool and breathable, modest (because showing too much makes me uncomfortable). Bonus if I actually look good in it, but I care more about *feeling* good in it. So that's what I go for.

My kid’s school now requires them to do their reading homework on an app, rather than a book, and if my kid hasn’t read forty minutes on the app two days before the deadline, it sends me a message to tell them off / encourage them.
They can get to fuck with all of that.

“worry is the activity of a mind repeatedly trying to obtain reassurance that the worst-case scenario won’t occur – but failing, over and over, for the simple reason that the future hasn’t happened yet, while we finite humans are confined to the present.”
Always love reading Oliver Burkeman, and this thought on how to approach the current times with a non-anxious, deliberate attention to “the bead you are threading at this moment” is very timely.

And they still arrested us for performing in front of adults

This is America
We have the right to say what we wanna say
We have the right to do what we wanna do

So what I do in my house is my business

We have the freedom of expression
We have the freedom of choice

in reply to amPennyfeather • • •I don't mind being comfortable, but I hate (for me) clothing that looks comfortable. I like timeless clothing items and if I could wear historic costume pieces all the time I would. As it is I "get away" with a few fun things.
I like clothing that's fitted and neat. Very tidy and somewhat gender neutral and/or "classic menswear" re-imagined to be cute.
I'm attracted to bowties and feel very bad about this.

Penny feather mentioned "modesty" in the original post, and on that I'm on the same wavelength. I don't like to show a lot of skin, so that's part of the attraction to "old man" style, it's always very covered and often more comfortable than it looks.
You don't need to worry about how you sit or if a bra strap is showing.
Women's fashion when it's "dressy" it's also like playing a dangerous game where you try to keep your underwear hidden from the world.
myrmepropagandist
in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •@unchartedworlds
Consider the famous "little black dress" which people always say is "so simple" when really it's not.
First, like with all clothing you need to have the fit right. The hemline must be right for your build and being off by more than two centimeters is a problem. You need to match your undergarments to the cut of the dress, shave, have lotion it's a whole elaborate production.
Pants are just easier. Or at least I think so.
