Fashion How do you decide what to wear each day?
Is it instinctive? Do you grab whatever feels 'right'? Or do you go by what the weather forecast says? Do you plan it the night before? Do you stress over your choices? 
Or give it no thought? How would you describe your style? What's your favourite item of clothing? And your biggest fashion blunder? Do you have a style icon? What are you wearing now? Go!  | |

When given the opportunity, I love to dress.
Most days I'm in my home-studio painting. I get paint all over myself  so I tend to dress in old t-shirts and lounge pants or shorts.
As far as dressy, I love interesting patterned shirts (not enough fun clothing for men  ) and flat front slacks. | |

I wear scrubs.
I wear what's clean. I only go by the weather forcast if it's going to be extremely cold, then I grab a coat. Don't plan the night before. Give it very little thought. Gotta be clean, not too wrinkly, matching etc
Description of my style....Horrid I have a big wrap/sweater that I've had 17 years. 
No fashion icon. Now I'm wearing brown scrub bottoms w/ a pink t-shirt and the matching brown scrubs jacket and white KSwiss light soled shoes. I'm firmly planted in denial |

If I told U, I'd have a bunch of Orgers making fun of me.
Let's just say I plan almost a month in advance.... 
My style is simply "my own" 
My favorite articles are my shoes. If they aren't right, the outfit is ruined. I will not wear something unless it has the perfect shoes. 
I do not model myself after anyone. Right now? Sweats and a tank top- I was working out, then cleaning my house. "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

How do you decide what to wear each day?
It depends on the mood, I know its a cliche but hell its true. Is it instinctive? Do you grab whatever feels 'right'? Of course. Do you plan it the night before? Sometimes. Do you stress over your choices?
Sometimes, naturally. How would you describe your style? Hard to describe it, its eclectic. I'm more drawn into vintage items that folks forget about,,,,of course it gotta be comfortable and at the same TIME make it look chic,,,,,but the combination doesn't always mix, as you know. What's your favourite item of clothing? And your biggest fashion blunder? My scarves collection! I'm a scarf freak, always has always will. And sweaters are the ones that I WISH I could live without  I hate them, and I hate the fact that they're so damn comfortable beyond addiction.
Do you have a style icon? Ms.Grace Jones all the way,,,,,however I'm NO WAY near trying to dress like her, but she anspires me to express myself through my fashion statements, which I take great pride in. What are you wearing now? A simple moroccan jalabia, this to Arab ladies what sweaters are for Western ladies, except these ones are very chic(and sometimes LOUD). [Edited 8/20/09 17:20pm] | |

If I see somebody wearing something I like (either in real life, on TV, in print, or the net), I make a mental note to assemble my own version of the outfit the day after.
I never throw clothes away. I have shirts that are over 20 years old. I wore some grey trousers today that I bought in 1994. I put them away around 1996 and pulled them back out of storage a few weeks ago. | |

How do you decide what to wear each day?
It really does depend on my mood. It's usually hot as FUCK here so jeans and polo shirts are crucial. Is it instinctive? Do you grab whatever feels 'right'? Yes. Or do you go by what the weather forecast says? This too
Do you plan it the night before? Most of the times. Sometimes I even try it all on to see if it looks decent
Do you stress over your choices? lol I stress over my body I don't like the way clothes fit. I'm always too short or too skinny.
Or give it no thought? 
How would you describe your style? Non-existent
What's your favourite item of clothing? And your biggest fashion blunder? -  I don't know. Probably this black and pink shirt I have. It makes me look skinny 
- I don't know
Do you have a style icon? I guess you could say that
What are you wearing now? Indigo t-shirt, dark blue skinny jeans, blue converse shoes. <3 | |

How do you decide what to wear each day?
um, today I'm actually wearing the clothes I slept in
Is it instinctive? Do you grab whatever feels 'right'? whatever is handy Or do you go by what the weather forecast says? I never leave the house, so
Do you plan it the night before? hahaha! never Do you stress over your choices?
nope! Or give it no thought? yup! How would you describe your style? non-existent! What's your favourite item of clothing? And your biggest fashion blunder? jeans, hoodie, blunder was gaining just that little bit of weight which means I don't fit into any of my nice clothes any more Do you have a style icon? not really, fashionable people have small boobs, their clothes hang nice. Large busted ladies somehow always look tacky What are you wearing now? black hoodie and black trackpants  and furry crocs | |

ooh, fun
How do you decide what to wear each day? Pretty much the every day thing is just whatever I see first that I actually feel like wearing - some days I don't feel like wearing skirts or shorts or whatever. Other than that there's not really much decision involved.
Is it instinctive? Do you grab whatever feels 'right'? Pretty much, since I'm not worried about it at all 99% of the time. Or do you go by what the weather forecast says? A bit. Do you plan it the night before? Only if it's a special occasion or if I know I'll have to wake up at some terribly early hour. Do you stress over your choices?
 Very rarely.
Or give it no thought? Pretty much How would you describe your style? Dull
What's your favourite item of clothing? And your biggest fashion blunder? Favorite item would have to be my grey corset. Biggest fashion blunder is probably the fact that I'm constantly throwing on flats with white socks when I have to be somewhere quickly. 
Do you have a style icon? I have quite a few people whose fashion choices I admire, but I'm far too lazy to even try to emulate any of them. What are you wearing now? Black and white striped skirt with a black/silver top. :ifail: edit [Edited 8/20/09 18:04pm] HE'S COMING AGAIN | |

How do you decide what to wear each day?
Well i'm pretty much just a jeans and t-shirt kindof guy... boys clothes are pretty boring to me so meh. (I don't wear shorts outside  ) sometimes i'll throw on a hat or a scarf and bracelets.
Is it instinctive? Do you grab whatever feels 'right'? yes, i have to FEEL it. if not than off it goes and I gotta find something else. Or do you go by what the weather forecast says? not usually, unless it's snowing really bad Do you plan it the night before? I go over it in my head usually Do you stress over your choices?
yeah, sometimes i'll make a choice and go out and not like it so much once I get out... I guess
Or give it no thought? "always thinking, always thinking" How would you describe your style? jeans and tshirt... What's your favourite item of clothing? And your biggest fashion blunder? a pair of jeans that happen to be the same style as my name  . Blunders?  really I didn't know your belt had to match your shoes, UGH sue me
Do you have a style icon? not really... not as my boy self
What are you wearing now? my underwear, I just got in from putting up some walls on the new garage and it's really hot in my room i'll get fresh and dressed(jeans with a brown shirt with a funky design) if I go watch movies with a girl friend

How do you decide what to wear each day? - I usually pick it out in the morning, based on my mood. Sometimes I think about it while still sort of waking up. Or in the shower
Is it instinctive? Do you grab whatever feels 'right'? - Yup. Totally instinctive. Or do you go by what the weather forecast says? - Well, that too. I live in Minnesota, I have to pay attention. The weather can change at the drop of a hat, I need to know what to expect. For example - no wearing full skirts when it's windy! 
Do you plan it the night before? - Rarely. Maybe if I have a new outfit or, like, a job interview or special event. But usually it follows how I'm feeling in the morning. Do you stress over your choices? - I only stress over packing for traveling. Since I like to dress on a whim, it sucks to try to plan it out. I always want OPTIONS.
Or give it no thought? - Well, there's thought, but no stress. It's careful, and I'm good at it. How would you describe your style? - Me. I don't know. I think if you know me you know whether something fits into my style or not. I like black, I like new twists on vintage, I like stylishly comfortable...
What's your favourite item of clothing? And your biggest fashion blunder? - I can't say I have a favorite. I like dresses. I've made PLENTY of fashion blunders, my worst was probably wearing clothes that were WAY too big for me in high school. I thought I was hiding my fat body but looking back at pictures it's just ridiculous. And I was gorgeously svelt to boot. Do you have a style icon? - I have LOTS. I like classic like Audrey Hepburn but I also like punk rock like Deborah Harry. I can appreciate just about any look that's well put together. And I want to wear them all too. What are you wearing now? - I'm in PJs. Summer PJ pants that are a large black and pink and white plaid and a black spaghetti-strapped tank top. |

I love clothes, but I'm much too shy to wear much of what I think looks amazing on others. If I were a braver man, I'd be an outrageous dandy. And If I were a girl?!? Good Lord. 
I like turtlenecks, cashmere sweaters, slim boot-cut trousers, tailored shirts and topcoats, scarves and French-cuffed button-downs. But I like to "butch" that up a bit with rugged tweeds, vests, corduroy sports coats, flat caps, chunky knit sweaters, denims and leathers. Ultimately, my wife says I dress like an English professor, but I think my style is more Independence-era Irish working class meets 21st-century Montreal homo. When I'm depressed, I do lots of black & whites, and I look like a cleric... but a sexy one.  In the summer I'm less inspired, so I look more like the standard Banana Republican. There are people whose personal styles I like -- and if they rock a cool outfit, I may try to approximate it -- but I can't say I revere anyone as a style icon.
My favorite articles of clothing right now (only 1 would be tough) are a pair of wool tweed trousers, flat-front and boot-cut; a 3/4-length grey houndstooth wool duffle coat; and my brown suede flat cap. If I can muster the courage, though, I may rock a bowler hat this fall/winter -- and I can see myself falling in love with that. As far as getting dressed, if I've got nowhere to be, I wake up and grab whatever clean garments are in reach and reasonably matching. If I've got somewhere to be, I plan the night before according to weather, mood, event, etc. Pre-planning generally alleviates the stress. I don't trip out unless I'm rushed or have to be somewhere I know I need to look perfect, which, thank God, is a rarity. Right now I've got on a red silk/linen polo shirt, a pair of dark-washed indigo jeans and some brown leather sandals. [Edited 8/20/09 22:05pm] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

How do you decide what to wear each day?
I just grab whatever I feel like wearing that day, though nothing fits me like I want it to right now
Is it instinctive? Do you grab whatever feels 'right'? yes, according to mood but always being pretty practical Or do you go by what the weather forecast says? I never pay attention & I should. Plus I'm used to working in a very cold room & I'm always dressing in layers - sometimes I do this on the weekend & it's totally hot & inappropriate
Do you plan it the night before? rarely, unless it's a special occasion Do you stress over your choices?
not really, unless I feel particularly unattractive that day - a bad outfit adds to the gloom 
Or give it no thought? most of the time How would you describe your style? very casual What's your favourite item of clothing? And your biggest fashion blunder? fave: I adore my cute shoes! but the practical answer is various pairs of jeans... blunder: there's a few items in the closet that I can't explain - cheap fabrics, items tagged & never worn, but I think my biggest blunder is not being more adventurous Do you have a style icon? I don't, actually
What are you wearing now? my jammies cute sweats, socks, ballet slippers  tshirt  I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

Is it instinctive? Do you grab whatever feels 'right'? Yes, mood defendant, somewhat instinctive influenced by the events of the day Or do you go by what the weather forecast says? This as well, Do you plan it the night before? For big occasions, important meetings but not generally. I might have a passing thought about what to wear the next day in the evening. Do you stress over your choices?
yes and no Or give it no thought? Always give it some thought. How would you describe your style? I am influenced by current trends but I don't "follow" fashion. I am usually smart casual, I don't do sloppy. I like the chance to dress up and put a suit on and in this case i am influenced by italian design. What's your favourite item of clothing? I don't think I have a favorite And your biggest fashion blunder?
Do you have a style icon? nobody in particular, but you can't go wrong withe these cats 
Not that I think they have style but the people who dress them do. Just need to work on the looks. What are you wearing now? Some brown leather lace up boots, a pair of dk blue Diesel jeans, and a fitted wide vertical stripe shirt in brown. Happy is he who finds out the causes for things.Virgil (70-19 BC). Virgil was such a lying bastard! | |

How do you decide what to wear each day?

Love fashion but working at home means I'm usually in pjs or less everyday. So, I love getting a chance to turn it out when I go out. My style icon is definitely Diane von Furstenberg, queen of the wrap dress. I'm kinda conservative but I like elegant, simple lines in black or bold prints. I don't wear pants, EVER, or own a pair of jeans. I have all kinds of dresses but my fave is always the wrap dress (I have a few dozen) because nothing flatters a curvy or busty figure like a wrap dress. I bought both of these dresses this week and I can't wait to rock 'em.

How do you decide what to wear each day?
Depends on where I am going, who's gonna see me, the weather, what colour I am feeling that day etc.. Is it instinctive? Do you grab whatever feels 'right'? Both instinctive and a result of thinking it over Do you plan it the night before? quite often yes Do you stress over your choices? yes How would you describe your style? cool, individual, sometimes sexy, representing who I want to be What's your favourite item of clothing? And your biggest fashion blunder? Favorite: that's impossible to say, that changes all the time. I may buy something and don't wear it for 5 years and then suddenly it is my favourite item for a season Blunder: that I tend to try to make my outfits too perfect Do you have a style icon? Not really, but I like Gwen Stefani's style a lot What are you wearing now? I am at home and it's very hot, so an old blue short dress made of t-shirt material With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be!

I FINALLY found something to wear with those olive Jimmy Choos!  But I'm gonna tie it to the side rather than in the front.
I'm really not a girly girl except when I go out. My daily uniform is typically a cotton Polo dress with a pair of white Keds. I have TONS of Polo dresses.
As for jeans, I've always had the worst time finding jeans that fit cuz i'm really hippy with a small waist so I'd always have extra inches in the waist of the jeans. I finally gave up looking for a pair that fit about 12 years ago. Besides, I think my legs are my best feature so they must be on display at all times.  | |

How do you decide what to wear each day?
Whatever is clean and not too wrinkled. Is it instinctive? Do you grab whatever feels 'right'? I grab whatever fits on me. Half of my clothes are too small for me at the moment. So I guess you could indeed say I "grab whatever feels right". Or do you go by what the weather forecast says? No. Do you plan it the night before? I might check out what I have left and that's not in the laundry. Do you stress over your choices? Only if I've had a date or a public presentation etc. Or give it no thought? It's usually between a black shirt and another black shirt, to be honest. How would you describe your style? Expensive jeans and a cheap t-shirt, most of the time. What's your favourite item of clothing? And your biggest fashion blunder? I really don't use it anymore, but it was this oversized grey sweater that for some oblivious reason always seemed to draw the attention of the ladies - I thought I myself looked like a homeless junkie in it. Perhaps the same piece was also was my biggest fashion blunder from the more recent years as well. Do you have a style icon? Lou Reed? What are you wearing now? I'm naked.

I guess you can call it Julie fashion, but it is so not fashion.
How do you decide what to wear each day? Comfort, comfort and almost always comfort. Work right now are Scrub pants and a solid plain woman tee-shirt/random colors.. However, come Nov., we will adhere to uniform  Khaki Pants/White Polo. 
When I am home, linen pants or all cotton pants, usually white. Comfortable lose shirts, linen shirts, often white. Or I just lounge in my comfortable scrubs pants (urbane scrubs brand) and a white t-shirt. Plain, very comfortable and plain. Is it instinctive? Do you grab whatever feels 'right'? Always, right for me, or I tear it off and try 10 different outfits (pants/shirts) until I feel right, meaning comfortable.
Or do you go by what the weather forecast says? Somewhat, but it is sure miserable if you dress too warm on a HOT day here in Arizona. Do you plan it the night before? No, but I sometimes think I should... come morning I would probably change my mind anyways. Yet if I have to wake really early in the morning for whatever reason and I know I will be pushing for time or want to sleep in as late as I can... I will lay out what I will wear the next day. PS~ I iron whatever I wear or try on, every morning... it gets old.
Do you stress over your choices? Yes, but no... just keep trying until I get it right, for me.
Or give it no thought? There is always thought How would you describe your style? White, comfortable, lose fitting/flowing clothing. What's your favourite item of clothing? And your biggest fashion blunder? Linen/100% soft cotton clothing, organic even is nice. Biggest fashion blunder, not to me, but maybe to others... I don't like to wear tight fitting dresses and those ungodly high heels. Give me a lose fitting comfortable dress and some high black boots... or something like that.
Do you have a style icon? Nooo...? What are you wearing now? Surprise, surprise, White linen/cotton drawstring pants and a navy blue tee... 
Go! [Edited 8/21/09 14:57pm] | |
