Re: What are some of your fashion rules?

I will only wear:
-Age appropriate things
-Things that are flattering on me
-Styles that are classic, not trendy (but when I do see something trendy that I love, I don't care about quality and will get it at H&M or similar)

When shopping:
-I will spend a lot of money on something only if it's something that won't go out of style that I will wear for a long time.
-I will only buy something if it will go with at least two or three other things in my closet, and I will only buy neutral colored pants.
-I always want a pair of dark rinse jeans and a pair of lighter rinse jeans.

most of my clothing was bought on sale

I don't follow the latest trends. if I like it, I buy it. and if I like something I already have, I will wear it whether it's "out" or not.

Re: What are some of your fashion rules?

I only buy on sale items.

I don't follow every trendy fashion, I buy what looks good on ME.

I don't have to have name brand clothing or shoes.

Re: What are some of your fashion rules?

*I can never have too many white camis.

*Never buy it unless it's on sale. There are very few times I will buy something full price.

*Classic vs. trendy

*Must be work appropriate but be OK for casual weekend wear as well.

*Versatility, which kind of goes hand in hand with my above rule.

*Darker wash jeans over lighter wash jeans. And jeans must have a somewhat tailored look to them... IE, can never drag on the floor!

*I HAVE to have a sharp crease in my work pants!

*If it doesn't fit properly, I won't buy it no matter how much I love it!

-I don't mind spending some money on classic clothes that I know I'm going to wear for a couple of years.

-I can't stand fake stuff. Get the real thing or don't bother at all!

-Always have a great pair of dressy black shoes and tall boots.

Re: What are some of your fashion rules?

I do a mix of classy and trendy every season.

I buy as much clothing that is 100% cotton as I can.

DH says I have a ton of rules about what colors go together. I guess I do.

Jewelry should be understated, never chunky and it should not yell, "look at me."

Any prints must be a small pattern.

Same here

Plus

I NEVER buy tapered pants

No short sleeves - it's either long, 3/4, or tank style/sleeveless - short sleeves don't look good on me.

Re: What are some of your fashion rules?

-No sneakers except for the gym.

-Sweats are also reserved for the gym or bumming around my apt.

-If I buy something at place like H&M or Forever 21, I only buy black clothes because black hides imperections/lower quality fabric better than lighter colorsl.

-No crewneck anything for me; I look ridiculous. Only vnecks or turtlenecks.

-No matter how on sale it is, I won't buy it if it doesn't fit properly.

-You can never have enough black clothing.

Re: What are some of your fashion rules?

I dont wear heels unless with a dress. They aren't me and I feel like an a$$ in them.

I go for comfort over style or I dont feel at my best.

I could care less about trends.

I wear sneakers and I like them.

I guess Stacey and Clinton will be knocking at my door soon.

I don't wear v-necks or scoop necks, but will experiment with any other neckline

I have a gap favorite t (short & long sleeve) in virtually every color

I never wear 3/4 sleeves...they make me too frustrated, I'm always trying to pull them down

I dress mostly classic bordering on conservative, but love to mix it up with some trendy stuff

AS long as my hair is combed and I am clothed, that's all that matters here!

-must have brows waxed or I feel gross
-lots of blacks, browns, neutrals
-NEVER tapered pants, must be boot cut/slight flare
-don't mix dark blues & black, rarely mix brown & black (although I know it can be done well)
-mostly wear v neck, don't do scoop neck-not flattering on me
-If something is tight on the bottom, it's looser on the top & vice versa (won't wear an entirely tight or baggier outfit)
-won't wear big earings & necklace at the same time. Must be one or the other

Re: What are some of your fashion rules?

I'm a bargain shopper but I WILL NOT dig through messy racks of clothing that is lying everywhere.

I wear what's comfy on my feet...sneakers or Uggs are fine for me. (when you're toting a kid, things change)

You can never have enough black shoes.

I buy my cotton layering shirts one size bigger because they always shrink after the first wash.

I have one pair of $$$$ jeans...I don't need a whole closet full of em.

I don't wear black and brown together.

....

I have [2] pairs of $$$$ jeans...I don't need a whole closet full of em.

I don't wear black and brown together.



I had to quote (and edit) you because I am so similar...except I don't own uggs.

Also, you can never have too many white button down shirts. I'm always buying them because I haven't found the perfect one yet. Although I really like the skinny-fit oxfords...

Re: What are some of your fashion rules?

You can never have enough black pants, tops or shoes.

No chipped nail polish.

I like my clothes neatly ironed (no wrinkles).

Better to overdress for an occasion then underdress.

Avoid expensive trendy clothing, since I would only wear it once anyway.

I only shop when I have coupons or when things are on sale. I hardly ever pay full price for anything.

I will definitely pay more for good quality when I know it will last for several years.
