So what do YOU wear?

[greyghost]

The mention of designers wearing all black with heavy rectangle frames and their hair all gelled like in the Matrix made me wonder what other folks wear.

I'm self-employed, but I do have an outside office now. When I was working from home, it was usually yoga pants and a favorite t-shirt with lots of holes in it.

Now that people in this little town might *gasp* SEE me, I tend to wear jeans and a trendy top, or some comfortable slacks and a sweater. Kind of "business casual" I am told, but I try to have some creative element in what I wear.

If I do wear all black (been known to happen from time to time) I add a colorful scarf as a belt to break up the monotony.

[mac.FINN]

I wear trash bags with holes cut out conviently for my appendages. In the winter, I switch to burlap sacks.

[StupidDarthFlanders]

LOL mac.FINN.

I wear mostly black. My hair is slicked back in the morning but when it dries it falls down. My glasses are rounded at the corners though, not rectangular.

[Broacher]

A smile.

[Craig B]

Right now, black slacks and a blue sweater. Sometimes though, I wear this:

Well hung, Craig.

Oh, and Keebler cookies called and they want their elf back.

[Craig B]

Over my dead body ... that's my elf!

bathrobe, 24 hours a day. i got it for christmas, it's heavy and super soft, i've pretty much had it on since then. i'm leaving saturday for a week vacation in germany, a cruise down the rhine, and i'm packing my bathrobe because i don't know that i can survive without it anymore.

oh, did i mention i run my own business from home? luckily my boss has a pretty lax dress code. he also has a pretty lax attendance policy. come to think of it, all his policies are prett lax... i'm going to go take a nap.

[cornfed]

Khaki shorts, white t-shirt, flip flops for now. It's about 75 degrees here, so when I go out I'll put on some jeans and probably another white shirt with red and khaki tennis shoes!

[DesignStudio]

this thread has a wierd phone sex vibe happening, like *in a husky voice* "what are you wearing?"

[MyST]

Bright red, low cut evening gown with red fishnet stockings, and 4" high heels.

Uhh... I mean shop supplied work clothes and steel toed boots.
Yeah... that's it.

[DesignStudio]

this thread is now being watched by nbc dateline's "to catch a preditor".

[Exodus]

I just wear nice blue jeans or khakis, t-shirt and sneakers. If we have a BIG client come in... I'll wear nice khaki slacks, button down shirt or polo with comfortable yet dressy shoes.

[mac.FINN]

Myst you have steel toed high heels? That's fabulously funtional.

[MyST]

Yeah, isn't though?
The guys were looking at me funny. I figure it's cuz I didn't shave my legs.

[EC]

yoga pants and t-shirts.

[rose-o]

Usually I wear nice jeans or slacks, and a cool top or sweater. ACCESSORIES ARE A MUST!! Got to add some funk to it! There is not a day you can find me without a weird necklace, chunky earring, psychedelic scarf, or groovy pin. And don't get me started on my shoes! ;)

I work in a office-casual kind of place. Though even that is left behind by some. I ask you, is a Disney t-shirt and acid-wash jeans appropriate work wear? I THINK NOT! Unless of course you work at home, and are stuck in the late eighties.

[jimking]

I wear a MOO MOO.:eek:

[rose-o]

I wear a MOO MOO.:eek:

Eek!

[balou]

rose-o is the stylish one in the family. :)

I work from home so I'm usually pretty casual - jeans & such. I do usually have a scarf or a knit cap on my head. The clients get black slacks and sweater or jeans & blazer. Sometimes in the summer my hippie flag flies and I get all weird with skirts and scarves and funky colors.

[Silence04]

work: Business Casual

home: band shirt or collared shirt, cargo shorts and sandals (gotta have the sandals)

[rose-o]

rose-o is the stylish one in the family. :)

Ahh! Thanks!

I'll be the stylish one and you be the funky one. We'll fight crime....fashion crime. Que the theme music!!!

[balou]

Lol!

[morea]

Depends on the situation.

In the office: cargo khakis and a nice shirt.

Meeting my own clients: black pants or a nice skirt and top, sometimes a dress.

Working from home: pj's most of the day. Nobody has to look at me except the cats.

[PrintDriver]

LOL!
Did I give you guys a complex?

Those that aren't wearing black thinking they should and those that are, thinking not? Hmmm?

:D

I should'a' mentioned the 15% of tourists here that aren't wearing black are wearing jeans and t-shirts or funky big colorful sweaters and leggings depending on gender. Seems to be designer thing too.

I wear work casual good enough for those surprise client meetings. Oh, didn't we tell you...? Those are the days I invariably spill the coffee on the ride in.

[balou]

surprise client meetings. Oh, didn't we tell you...?

Runs into house to put on the GOOD bathrobe. :D

[DesignStudio]

sometimes i pretend my bathrobe is a cape... think i can get in on that crime fighting?

[rose-o]

Sure, we'll teach you the secret handshake.

To the design cave!!

[Craig B]

Go for it DS! There's too few superheroes in our world.

[DesignStudio]

so in a more serious reply, although i don't know how "serious" any reply in this thread is, but i do always wear one of those hats, that has the short bill and the rest of the hat like tapers into the bill. not sure what it's called. its checkered. i think it might be called a driver's cap.

[mac.FINN]

Go for it DS! There's too few superheroes in our world.

Be Alert!

The world needs more Lerts.

[frankster]

I wear clingfilm whenever the opportunity arises. mmm, squeeky!

[Eraser Nubbin]

I am wearing a baby blue t-shirt today...
Coincidentally I have been the target of much high school level abuse.

[DesignStudio]

mac finn, my dad used to say that. mmm, nostolgia.

[LeftBrain Artist]

Normally I wear jeans and plain colored t-shirts/sweaters. But if I'm directing a photo shoot, I'll go with a beret, Spiderman Underoos, a feather boa and a bubble wrap cape - Pippi Longstockings style braids, hip waders, and rubber nipples (for the knees) - oh, and don't forget the sock garters.

[seamas]

I actually wear a uniform at work.
Khaki colored pants-or shorts, uniform top (a burgundy polo with logo) and/or a black sweatshirt or black fleece jacket with logo.

I have no idea as to why I have to wear one, I never deal with members (it is a Health Club management company) and certain other folks around here never wear one.
Oddly enough, sneakers are forbidden unless you are a trainer, or exercise or tennis instructor.
Sandals are fine in summer.

At home I'm usually in jeans, or painters or carpenters or cargo pants, t-shirt or some type of henley, and button down shirt (never buttoned, never tucked). If I wear a sweater, it is usually 100% wool (don't mind the itch) and is usually one color -no wierd pattern.
Just about everything is solid color except for plaids, and there I prefer traditional tartan patterns.

Except for work, I never, ever wear a logo. I hate the idea of being some dumb companies branding vehicle without being compensated.
I often take off the labels on my clothes.

Odd as it is for a designer, I am sick of how logos are stuck on every thing in site.

Don't forget the giant plastic strap on T-Rex tail (will go well with the feather boa that I'm guessing you stole from Marc Bolan)

Nice forum reenactment of Darth Vader. Seriously.

[ecsyle]

I wear jeans and tshirts. My jeans are usually diesel or guess, and I design my own tshirts and hoodies :)

[mac.FINN]

Thanks Craig, I was a little worried it wouldn't work out.

Funny, I mentioned to my boyfriend the other night that it sounds like he's saying "Hoooo-per... Hoooo-per..."

I wonder if Hooper is a friend of Lucas's.

[DesignStudio]

and here's just a random clip that's kind of funny.

[Virgo Nightingale]

Oh, and I'm wearing a sexy lacy black teddy, a crotchless thong, thigh-high stockings with the seam up the back and black stiletto heels. Meow. ;)

[Ned]

:o Oh...

Right now, I'm wearing nothing at all.

[TheBluePanda]

I used to do the Matrix thing.. I'd wear all black, black glasses, baggy space-age raver pants, etc. That was years ago. Nowadays I wear jeans and a long-sleeve-collared shirt thingy. My life is far too disorganized these days to pay attention to fashion.

[Ned]

I used to dress in black, long time ago (long before The Matrix). Now I never wear all black. I dress professionally, and generally stick to tans and earth tones for casual businses wear, or charcoals and greys for more important meetings.

[Jackimalyn]

I dress pretty professionally. I work in-house so i think if i wore all black or typical artsy fashion-like it's be a little too cliche' and Id stand way out. Evereyone would stare at me and whisper "whos she??" ..."oh, she must be in the ART department..."

Sometimes I wear a monocle. just for good measure.

[greyghost]

Do any of us dress like this?

http://www.break.com/pictures/feb21gal2.html

[cornfed]

My daughter would if I let her, greyghost! But I won't! I do own the only irridescent trench coat I've ever seen. Got it at a thrift store years ago. In one light it's plaid and in another light it's purple!

[Virgo Nightingale]

http://www.break.com/pictures/feb21gal2.html
It's Queen Amidala going to a rave!

[Ned]

That's cool, Cornfed... All my best trenchcoats have been lost or stolen... My ex was wearing my favorite tan London Fog, when it was taken from a house party, and my nice Jones New York manchester coat disappeared without a trace, I'm not sure when.

I've still got a blue Pierre Cardin, but it's so militant looking!

Greyghost: Oh my, that picture is something else! I'm glad that's not my daughter...

[Jackimalyn]

is her hair connected to her nose???

[mac.FINN]

I have hair connected to my nose too...but I think it's supposed to be there. Her's is just weird.

[Red Kittie Kat]

Jeans, polo shirts, t-shirts, or lounge pants :D

it's all about the comfort :D

[budafist]

I'm pretty comfortable. I wear what I wear in the weekend - only difference is that I'm more like to wear skirts and dresses in the weekend, but same level of casualness.

[fredrich]

I usually wear sneakers, jeans and sweaters/hoodies/tracksuits.

Right now, I'm in slacking mode, so I'm wearing cotton pants and a Jaromir Jagr ice hockey jersey.

[captain spanky]

i used to wear big baggy phat cords, t shirts and birkenstocks
but my new job says i have to wear tousers, shoes and proper shirts.
i don't mind tho
I'll be out work in two months (going freelance) so I'll be able to wear what i want until i have to pitch for new work. :)

[Samakimoto Graphics]

LOL!:)

When the lighting's all wrong do you go "I can't verk like zis!"

[Neballer]

hot pants and halter tops

[LeftBrain Artist]

No, that's silly. But if someone says the secret word, we all scream real lound and my price doubles.

[Annie Social]

hot pants and halter tops

Photo! Photo!

[cornfed]

Today I don't match at all. Brown corduroy pants from the mens department at old navy that are two sizes too big, a light blue t-shirt, green knee high knit socks and red tennis shoes! My hair is a disaster and I could care less. The only place I have to go is the gas station and to pick up my husband later so its all good.

[Neballer]

Photo! Photo!
I don't think anybody really wants to see that :D

[MyST]

Yes, I do, and I'll give you any moneys I find in the couch.

*I said moneys, not monkeys*

[Neballer]

if you pull a monkey out of your couch myst - I'll supply a pic of me in hot pants and a halter top. :D

[fredrich]

Hot pants as in jeans straight outta the microwave?

[Neballer]

jeebus christ! - you wouldn't believe the smut that shows up in google image searches.

not exactly fredrich. :D
