I’D Really Like To Stop Doing That: Who Are You Dressing For

Worrying about what other people think has long been one of my Achilles’ Heels and is something I’ve written about more than once on this blog.

Not only do I worry about what the people in my day to day life think, By the way I worry about what all of you think. Then, as a matter of fact, sometimes I censor what I write for comments fear I may receive. That means it’s essentially impossible to find this year, emerald light green was 2013 pantone color. That is interesting. Yet it is one of my main colors for my palette. For example, it’s so ‘frustratingwhy’ not have a little originality, designers, right?

THEY would dress to ‘shopbecause’ shopping was an eagerly anticipated and ‘plannedfor’ event that was special. She didn’t have time to shop during the day, my great aunt worked full time in a bank. My grandmother worked at home as a seamstress and didn’t have much time to shop either. It was a ‘afternoonlong’ break from the normal that required the proper attire, when they did. If I continually push myself to wear the jeans anyway, I may eventually get over those feelings. Now look.i have to wonder if I should really do that, especially if I have other jeans that I feel happy and attractive in now. At least in current terms trends, whose opinion is more important than my own, while it’s true that I may not look as good in those other options.

They took the bus downtown, both women were in their early 7o’s at this time, and neither drove, that was our main shopping destination.

Unlike today when everyone heads to the mall, they were born in the 1890’s and lived through a time when our downtown was the most vital place to shop. At being risk slammed again, Actually I will say one more time that finding your personal style and knowing what looks good on you is fundamental to purchasing clothes. You can shop on auto pilot and still buy only what works for your own body, lifestyle, budget, etceteraetcetera Why would someone shop for an invisible audience, once you know AND internalize these concepts. Accordingly the audience that matters most for me is me. This means loving and believing in one’s self. Certainly, it also means committing to buying and wearing only the clothes we love and that love us back. This is notwas not being smug but walking in one’s truth. Actually, i learned these lessons decades ago so haven’t been drawn into online siren song shopping, blogging, pinning, and so on. On top of that, style is a personal choice, Fashion is mass produced.

So here is the question. Just post the items themselves perhaps? That’s very effective. Normally, it’s Your blog. Now look. Be kind to yourself. Set the boundaries and limits that suit ‘you’ need not apologize. Dozens of all, please continue to we need to look over your shoulder as you continue on this fantastic journey! Interesting point about outside influences as well. The big trend now is split back sweaters and tops. More importantly it will look dated very quickly, personally I think it looks ridiculous. By the way, the heels with jeans can be swapped out and worn with other items. Oftentimes same with the half tuck, you can wear the shirt a different way. Certainly, you can style them with accessories and other pieces, as dottie always reminds us, classic items are super versatile and never go out of style.i’m making an attempt to head in that direction for now. Either straight leg or trouser cut/wide leg can both be classics, To be honest I wouldn’t worry about being stylish enough if I were you, as far as your pants dilemma goes. You’ve got some pretty good stuff going on already.

To be honest I seriously question if any of those looks are worn for more than the thirty minutes or it takes to capture photographs, when I see a bunch of their ensembles juxtaposed against what I know about their lives. They is more the exception than the norm, Sure, there arefor the most part there’re some bloggers who have more ‘down to earth’ and accessible styles.

Selfdiscovery is where so lots of us are at this point.

‘ the closet has gotten restocked where it is seriously neglected in the past, as I’m just journeying into what I consider my ‘second spring. Remember, keeping up with the trends is just to overwhelming! Ok, and now one of the most important parts. Ah! Sarah, I don’t think wanting to be noticed is a bad thing overall. How we dress is communication and sometimes we want to dress to have others interact with us!

More expensive items are usually more understated. I know that the things I love wearing the most get the least attention but make me feel confident. Amy, and I thank you for your kind words! Your thoughts about my being good enough actually brought tears to my eyes. I’m really ready to love and accept myself more, sO much with that. FAR too much importance on my appearance, that is why the comments get to me so much sometimes. Thank you again for your kind words. Please know that I really appreciate what you had to say!

What a great leap forward in self discovery for you, Debbie!

Know what guys, I know you have helped lots of us along the way, And so it’s a long process of discovering your style with plenty of inevitable oopses. You are rising part tide lifting all our style ships! Nevertheless, thank you for a honest and insightful post. You are so brave. Now look. You are also most certainly good enough just as you are. You were good enough the very first time you posted a blog entry. Good enough when you repeated a lot of the same old mistakes. Good enough when you triumphed. Notice that good enoughperiodfull stop.

Impressing each other with our new items and designer brands. Having to have certain brand jeans. All of us wearing similar looks.i think this is normal in a certain age group and marketing targeted our insecurities perfectly. Rebecca’s comment above that our notions of what is flattering changes over time is also right on track. Considering the above said. In some ways that’s appropriate, a number of us don’t want to look dated. Again it’s tough to feel pressured into a trend that we’re not sure about.

In such cases, the feedback we receive may help us to hone our style such that it will feel more in line with how we want to look. In my case skirt outfits, I’m quite sure I wasn’t really happy with lots of them, that is why I spent so much time discussing these looks with Bridgette.

By the way I will definitely continue to blog.

I actually have no plans of stopping anytime soon, what I write about may shift a bit, as it’s done since I began the blog.a couple ofa couple ofa fewa few years ago, I worked for a few weeks during the holidays at a major department store’s jewelry department for a few evenings a week.

When it was still warm outside, just for fun though I tried spontaneously rolling up the cuffs on a pair of ankle pants, and I rather liked the resulting casual look. Besides, the other thing I just noticed is that I bought a new top yesterday which I am wearing today. REALLY thought I was over such things, and honestly, who needs approval from people in a Hampton Inn. October AND November clothing budgets. Also, it’s funny how being insecure about ONE choice brings back quite a few old behaviors.

< >Learning to Dress for Ourselves.

Your post reminded me of shopping once with my mom, who after trying on a couple ofa couple ofa couple ofa couple ofa few duds in a row said through gritted teeth, By the way I hate, Hate, HATE doing this!

Mom, To be honest I replied, there’s nothing wrong with you, there’s something wrong with the clothes. She shook her head as if I was teasing.i made sure she knew I really meant it. With that said, this by far is one of your best posts. For the past 4 years, I’m bing buying and bing purging my wardrobe to attain my perfect version wardrobe, all the while denying the fact that I was really dressing for other people. While dressing for other people that is, when I did my recent purge of 30 items, i really felt like I was right after this cycle. I actually still have items that I’m hanging onto to for those imagined scenarios, in spite the fact that I have less than 85 items in my wardrobe now. You see,, even if I’ve always bought things that are 100percentage my style and my style has not changed much the past decade. The main reasonable explanation is that I bought those things for other people to see. Some items influenced from fashion blogs have worked out though and they ended up being some of my favorite pieces. Willwould a lot of us end up wearing sweatshirt and track pants, Therefore in case we didn’t have people to dress for and truly only dressed for ourselves.

For every person who thinks I look nice, there islook, there’s no doubt someone who thinks I look boring/dowdy/unstylish. That will be enough, So if I feel I look good. It is you raised loads of great points. Our notions of what is flattering definitely change over time, both because of trend shifts and due to our evolution personal style. I’m sure you heard about this. Actually I try to have a mostly classic style and just add a few trends here and there, as such. We don’t need to wear things that don’t appeal to us at all, sometimes it’s beneficial to stretch ourselves beyond our comfort zones a bit. Let me tell you something. My eye can take a long time to adjust, though, even when I see a look on other people. Certainly, yuck when I try it on myself.

We are not all that active and meet about 6 times a year, now I love my book group.

Often times when it’s actually time to go I wear whatever I already had on. Essentially, i make purchasing decisions on the basis of it idea all. For instance, even when I was in fashion, those looks often just didn’t look good on me.

Debbie, Actually I have found in my personal experience, that when you resolve to be true to yourself, and your private preferences and your favourite artistic vision…. When you resolve to stop worrying about what other people are doing, or what they are thinking, and go with what gives you the greatest joy, that is the day you realize your own authenticity and uniqueness, and how wonderful it feels! On one level, I know, this is just a blog about shopping. Almost every entry contains a subtext that causes us, your readers, to respond in such large numbers.

For the past a couple ofa fewa couple ofa fewa few years, Know what guys, I are on a journey to perfectly express my inner self through my outer self.

Not really something I want to do anymore, It’s kind of a luxury. It sounds like you know what you are and how you want to dress. Even my husband will change after a while because he says he feels like a schlump. You and others here have encouraged me to dress nicer when working from home and I like it. Furthermore, while during the major heat wave, I lapsed back into lounge wear because we don’t have A/C, now that it’s cooling down, I’m going to start stepping it up a bit again.

Not really something I want to do anymore, It’s kind of a luxury. It sounds like you know your character and how you want to dress.

Furthermore, while during the major heat wave, I actually lapsed back into lounge wear because we don’t have A/C, now that it’s cooling down, I’m going to start stepping it up a bit again.

Your comments make me question quite a few of my choices, that is good. Colour and wearing clothing to flatter your unique body shape are 2 areas we cover but spend more time discovering their style personality as it is now. Surely it’s important to try new trends to see if they flatter you and you feel great in them. Sometimes those trends need time to evolve into your unique style but then become the basis for your new style direction. Then I was forced into trying them and have not looked back, love them! So, wear what you love to wear and if you think it flatters you, looks good on you and you feel great then it does not matter what others think.

When I try out a new look I sometimes have trouble telling the difference between I feel uncomfortable in this because I’m not used to wearing stuff like this and I feel uncomfortable in this because it doesn’t suit me.

Maybe I didn’t really want to know what others thought, either, Heather! Posting my outfits has definitely heightened my insecurity, especially as I’m in a place of style transition. With that said, I worry that I’m still not secure enough in myself to withstand criticism, perhaps I would feel more secure to post the outfits I love. This is where it starts getting really entertaining, right, am I correct? Opinions vary SO much that I don’t think everyone will ever agree upon what looks good, when I think about it. In the end, we have to decide what we love to wear and what we feel good in, we really have to determine that for ourselves I don’t think we should close ourselves off completely to outside input.

Thanks for sharing your experience and personal remedies.

FOMO, and thinking the grass is always greener on the other side.

Oh I am so guilty of doing this too! By the way I am not a rolled fan hem, they looked fine. You see, i eventually just donated them. That’s where it starts getting intriguing. Although I own and sport plenty of skinny jeans, By the way I have never given up my bootcut jeans. I’m pretty sure I also always wonder about style bloggers and how lots of the pieces they truly own and how the majority of those outfits they actually sport in public. That said, I get it now, that irony was pretty much lost on me at the time. That is interesting right? All I really had to do was stop shopping so much and then I wouldn’t have had to shop so much. You’re not alone, I’d say in case your head is about to explode at my logic there. For instance, I know I’m not the only person who does it, my mind boggles at my past behavior. Plenty of information can be found easily by going on the internet even if I didn’t really like the looks I posted, in these instances. Actually I still worried what readers would think of my outfits -and of me!

Dottie, I only wish I knew this a few years ago! Please don’t let that ‘slam’ hurt or affect you or your comments I feel that the person who made those remarks was feeling insecure and inadequatethat ain’t your fault. As a result, you know what people say opinions are like. Internet fashion feedback is often inconsistent some people will say a look is great, others will say it ain’t so hot. People are apparently looking at the same picture! That can be very confusing, To be honest I have experienced that myself. Let me tell you something.i think it also means that you can’t please everyone so you might as well please yourself and in most cases there will also be others who’ll give a thumbs up too.

Does this item/outfit bring me joy, right?

If you please yourself, this stems from a statement I have embraced from a ’12 Step’ program, at least you know one person is happy. It reminds old me song about making new friends keeping the old, as for your jeans.

Such a great post! REALLY love is exactly the point. That’s a fact, it’s very almost impossible to be yourself in a sea of information, images, publicity, fashion and pressure to look good. In spite the fact that I wore it and loved it back in the 1980s, it took me ages to embrace the skinny jeans look. Now I have been wearing my skinny jeans for about a year and I love them again!

this is an interesting question. Part of me feels that yes indeed, we all dress for others if we care about what we wear. We use fashion as ‘nonverbal’ communication and use it to give an image or impression of ourselves to others. In the past, I’m quite sure I allowed my lack of understanding of what I liked or what I wanted to express about myself confuse me to the point that I allowed other people overly influence me.
