I love the dress colour/lip colour coordination in the first pic! Red dress and red lips is one of my favourites. :)

thanks ruby! :) i used to not wear a lot of red, but i love that dress and i just picked up the new red lip gloss the other day. my partner likes the color so i've been trying it out more.

here's my outfit for cabaret - about to head down:

Loving this thread! I need a personal stylist/shopper, though, because I am short, round, 53, with bad wide flat feet that are incapable of wearing pretty heels at this point. Plus after 11 years in a bad marriage I just got way too much in the habit of being just... Frumpy. And I want to not be frumpy but I'm not sure how to get there without spending a jillion dollars on cloths -- and not even sure how to do THAT since no one seems to make clothes that look good on my body - too short and actually too small in several dimensions for most plus lines yet too big for regular sizes.

Ok off to try and find some cute flats to wear with dresses and skirts with tights this winter...

my stuff is all goodwill and bfp reunion swap now, hehehehe :) i seriously just found a new wardrobe here. i totally understand your frustration, though...my size is when things start getting really frumpy and everything is short and wide. and i can't wear heels either (deformed feet) - i just wear the same sensible shoes with everything i have and pretty it up in other ways.

Wooohoooo!!! I actually had luck tonight finding shoes that had a little heel on them, that I could wear! Naturalizer - who knew! and they were on sale! And they're cute! I got some tights to wear with the outfit I got last weekend, mostly on sale from Torrid - how did I not know about them?!?

This community, in this thread and in the thread I started, asking about casual fall date outfits, has been a huge help - thanks!

I think this thread doesn't get enough attention...

I just bought this dress for my office Christmas party:

I've been eyeing it for awhile now, and am excited to finally have an excuse to buy it!

lips & toes
 

help... i'm not sure if this counts as a Femme Fashion question - i'm sure there's a cosmetics thread but can't find it.

Two Qs:

1. what kind of lipstick can i get that lasts all day and doesn't smudge on napkins or butch lips? i have indeed heard such a thing exists but i'm not much of a makeup gal so i'd appreciate some help.

2. why does my nail polish never dry??? it never feels fully dry and today i got bumpy sock patterns on my toes because after 20 minutes of hobbling around barefoot the stuff still wasn't dry.

thanks!

I have no idea where you wear this but it's pretty
