what are you wearing?

[keryx]

There's a cute post on Shapely Prose that uses the 'get a bikini bod in 2.5 minutes' articles in most magazines to talk about getting comfortable in a bathing suit.

Which reminds me of a question I had awhile back!
[Poll #1191050]
I personally think I look better not-quite-naked, or sometimes in dance costume. Clothes never quite feel designed for the shape of my body.

ok wait - in which do we feel most COMFORTABLE, or in which do we feel like we LOOK BEST? Two different questions. :)

[onceupon.livejournal.com]

They can be.

[keryx.livejournal.com]

Both!

[arovd.livejournal.com]

well then you see me in it every single day. :)

[orkid.livejournal.com]

pajamas. no question.

[snidegrrl.livejournal.com]

you stole my answer.

[orkid.livejournal.com]

i'm willing to share. :)

[dreamalynn.livejournal.com]

That's my answer too, for how I feel best, that is.

I tend to prefer naked (when I'm at home just chilling in the bedroom or mostly naked when chilling in the rest of the house. Otherwise, I love theatrical overdressing or just obnoxious stuff.

I think mostly I wanna be soft and fluffy (so I picked "bundledness"). Today I am wearing a fuzzy purple jacket that I bought secondhand. It is awesome. I also like hats -- even moreso if they are fuzzy.

Or (flannel) pajamas work, too.

Fuzzy purple jacket! That sounds fab! (I picked "bundled" too.)

[follybard.livejournal.com]

I LOVE my fuzzy purple jacket, for it is both fuzzy and purple. AND! The fuzzy is fuzzed in a pattern that looks kind of like fish scales. Fuzzy, fuzzy fish scales. It is quite fab.

It depends. In public, I feel better in fall/winter clothing. I just think summer clothes (shorts, skorts, capris, etc.) look kind of dorky on me.

For at home, my husband calls a t-shirt and underwear and nothing else my "uniform".

[drownophelia.livejournal.com]

none of the above.

i tend to multi-layer--bra/undies, leggings/camisole, outer layer of real clothes. i generally feel more comfortable in casual clothes (not-at-work, i live in leggings and a slightly-to-big denim mini, and empire-waist and other non-stomach-hugging types of tops.

Recent favorites:

Ruffled slip with a black net tutu (I made it), black waist cincher (I made it), red pompom trim as a belt, striped socks, big boots and a tiny tiny bowler hat with feather.

Striped short bodice/vest top (I made it), halter tank, black tiered skirt over white tiered skirt, capri striped pj/bloomer pants and big boots.

It's sort of organ grinder monkey meets band geek dancing girl. Fun, striped, comfy, and lots of homemade stuff (means it actually fits).

And I am always uncomfortable in what I am wearing at work, no matter what it is at the time.

[peregrin8.livejournal.com]

I *LOVE* your aesthetic.

[queerbychoice.livejournal.com]

I'm horribly uncomfortable when not-quite-naked. Vastly more comfortable when either fully naked or fully clothed. I think all the not-quite-naked clothes in existence are hideous.
