I want it to be ivory with black trim and embroidery. (I think I could manage all of this myself, except for the wrinkle-free linen part). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-thread-describe-your-imaginary-dream-items#post-176630 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 03:05:23 +0000 Lisa 176630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dream items, there could be a lot of these so I will limit to three of them.</p> <p>Bra-A bra that does not fall off my sloped shoulders. Every bra does and it is so annoying despite being fitted.</p> <p>Shirts-A button down shirt with no gaping near the chest area, and a feminine cut. Too often to get the ungaping size, I end up with a boxy cut shirt.</p> <p>Necklace-A black necklace that looks like pearls, long enough to tie into a knot style and is not completely cheap. The closest I find are either too large a bead on them, too short, or plastic that looks like it would peal in a week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-thread-describe-your-imaginary-dream-items#post-176584 Sat, 26 Jun 2010 23:24:02 +0000 Ariadne 176584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great lists! Katiepea, after learning that pants = underwear and also a mild curse word in the UK, I laugh every time I say it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-thread-describe-your-imaginary-dream-items#post-176572 Sat, 26 Jun 2010 22:57:04 +0000 Katiepea 176572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since this is just a dream, can I just say a pair of trousers that make me look AMAZING!<br /> These trousers must include the following details:<br /> *Make me appear six inches taller;<br /> *suck in my tummy and lift my butt;<br /> *have the clever ability to raise or lower hem according to my style of shoe; PLUS<br /> *have the magical capability to change style (ie, wide leg, to boot cut, to skinny etc) AND colour (grey, to black, to white, to denim) as per my desires. </p> <p>Now that would be dream pair of trousers! (Tee-hee, initially I wrote that my trousers would be special "pants", but recall numerous conversations with my husband who states that "Pants are NOT trousers!"/"Trousers are trousers"/"Pants are undies" (underwear). - Oh the joys of being an Aussie married to an Englishman. Thought some of the UK ladies may have wondered about my sanity if they thought I was writing about magic undies....) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-thread-describe-your-imaginary-dream-items#post-176559 Sat, 26 Jun 2010 21:37:55 +0000 April 176559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If we're talking imaginary as in "does not exist in this universe," then I would say really, truly, deeply comfortable, 8-hour heels. </p> <p>And slim-calf black riding boots with stunning buckle detailing that are also insanely comfortable and available in my price range. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-thread-describe-your-imaginary-dream-items#post-176528 Sat, 26 Jun 2010 19:46:16 +0000 elpgal 176528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoes: Oxford booties with a tweedy/leather upper and a pair of burnished gold/burgundy with Fluevog styling. Why are these imaginary, you ask? I would like both of them with a moldable footbed and a wide toebox.</p> <p>Bra: Something lacy and supportive that I could and would want to wear for hours </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-thread-describe-your-imaginary-dream-items#post-176503 Sat, 26 Jun 2010 18:14:47 +0000 Ariadne 176503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After an evening of unsuccessful shopping for a replacement for my beloved, lost warm-weather jacket, I spent the better part of the night daydreaming about exactly what I wanted and couldn't find. I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we describe our elusive, perfect dream fashion items. Who knows, maybe we'll manifest them into reality (how's that for some flaky west coast hippie talk? *wink*)!</p> <p>I'll start.</p> <p>Dream Jacket #1:<br /> - Lightweight, perfect for sping, fall, and summer evenings.<br /> - Slightly cropped--hits at the true waist<br /> - Soft cotton twill in neutral medium olive or military green<br /> - Tab collar<br /> - Zipper closure<br /> - Bomber or moto style<br /> - Has stretch so it looks nice and fitted when worn open, but can also be worn closed comfortably<br /> - NO puffed sleeves<br /> - Fits my somewhat broad shoulders perfectly with comfortable full range of motion (for hoisting toddlers, etc.)<br /> - No bright gold cheap-looking hardware<br /> - Full length sleeves</p> <p>Dream Jacket #2:<br /> - Soft, supple, lightweight faux cognac/caramel leather<br /> - Moto style<br /> - Same fit as dream jacket #1 (cropped, no puffed sleeves, etc.)<br /> - Assymetrical zip that looks good worn open or closed</p> <p>Dream Jacket #3:<br /> - Knit black or other dark-ish neutral (not brown) material with some stretch<br /> - "Shrunken" blazer styling<br /> - Lapels that aren't skinny--those always look cheap to me<br /> - Styling that clearly says young/casual/funky, not business/career wear<br /> - Has some artistic-eclectic detailing </p> <p>I could go on, but those are the items that immediately come to mind and that I've spent upwards of a year searching for. I guess it's obvious that outerwear is what I struggle with the most!</p> <p>Your turn! </p>
