Femme Fashion
:moonstars: So the Butchs have a thread for their fashions, and how the hell do we not have one for us?! ^__^ Post what you like to wear and how you like to wear it. Photos are good too! Lets make the Butchs drool. <3 http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/...sInterlope.jpg I made a comment about 1920's fashion on the Butch thread, and just wanted to share what my 1920's fashion style would have been, this is on of my favorite dresses and I wear it any chance I get, usually without the headband... lol It's a silver beaded flapper dress with hundreds of beaded fringe falling off it all over the place. http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/..._6960039_n.jpg http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/..._7914382_n.jpg Outside of my crazy interest in historic fashions, I usually dress in tight jeans with a cute tight fitted top, usually frilly or lacey to be honest. 95% of my wardrobe is black though... I need to work on that. Haha! |
Fun! This is one of my favorite femme fashion sites. It is not necessarily what I would wear but I love the posts and pictures and descriptions of the clothes!!
http://fitforafemme.com/blog/ My taste runs very conservative and old school. I loved those hat pins you wore in another picture. |
Grunge, leather, boots, dresses it depends on the occasion, place, or mood! Great thread!
|
:moonstars: Going out tonight, Town in DC, and tomorrow night, Grand Central in Bmore... having trouble picking what to wear. So far I'm leaning toward the red dress tonight and the black dress tomorrow. |
Cute outfits!
Love the red, & polka dot is CUTE!!!!!
|
It depends on what day you catch me and what's going on, really. I have everything from yuppy-wear to frilly femmie foo foo stuff. Mostly it's about comfort for me.
|
Excellent thread! LOVE this...
I am gravitating towards pinup style lately - its quirkey and cool and I can dull it down enough to wear to work (flats not heels, cardigan over the low cut top, etc etc) |
Hey! We're on our way to the Phase tonight. It's nothing like Town but it's one of my favs. I'm in a black skirt with pretty pink sequined hearts, if you happen to stop by. :)

Heels, Heels and more heels. I am a proud Heelaholic! Its safe to say I have at least 3 in every color ranging from 2.00 to 2000.00. I love skirts and dresses and the majority of the time thats what I wear. lowrider jeans and shorts, flip flops, tons of tank tops most with some sort of cocky saying on them, camo!! and lots of it,lots of black and red, silk, lace I most likely own one of everything that can be found or has been sold in the past 10 years from Victorias Secret..its kind of my home away from home!
|
During the work week, I do business casual unless the trustees are in the office. Once home, you will usually find me in jeans, a t-shirt, and a black hoodie. On weekends if I'm at home, I'm usually wearing a pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt. I generally go for comfort, but if money were no object, I would probably dress up and go out more.
:stillheart: |
I wear riding boots with spurs and thick leather belts with a buckle that would hurt...with my pink cowboy hat
I also have soft sundresses, flowing evening gowns and lacie tank tops and I like being in my soft terry cloth short sets around the house I pretty much dont do the younger gen clothes. I am too old and too unimpressed with things that arent designed for Dames my age... |
i am also a heels girl. :) this past year i have been on an orange, polkadot, slingback hunt and have found that kate spade makes them in to die for styles!! mostly i wear vintage. dresses, shoes, handbags, jewelry...you name it. if it came from the 30's through the 60's, you can pretty much bank on it that i will love it! if i were filthy rich i would be wearing more haute couture items made by sorbier, gaultier, dior and andre. <drool> but for now i stick to my thrift store and ebay finds. ;)
|
Mostly I am going to be pissed once summer is over and it will no longer be reasonable to wear flipflops every day.

There were only a SMALL handful of butches there, and fag hags outranked the lesbians by 10-1. T_T It was awful and I didn't dance with anyone but myself and my friends. |
Phase was dead, dead, dead. And after that it was a little more dead. Never have I seen it so empty in all my years in the area. Yeah, as far as I know, Town is more of a gay boy place, isn't it?

That is a stunning dress.

I am a dressaholic
who also spends a lot of time in long black skirts. Being a goth in the 80's meant that I developed an addiction to long black skirts and black lace blouses, and black mary jane shoes. However I have been known to mix it up with green and pink and purple. I wear vintage and home made clothing and spend way too much time on Etsy.
|
WANT.

Oooo, pretty heels! I adore high heels and do not own any "sensible shoes." I have one pair of flip-flops (aka toe rapers) that I bought for a recent trip to Florida-they are still in the trunk of my car.
:sparklyheart: |
I love flip-flops and have about 10 different pairs! Some have sparkles, some have Hello Kitty, some are "athletic" flip-flops with arch support! HA!
|
:moonstars: On the topic of heels!! I have a problem I need help sorted out or fixed, I love my heels and I love my platforms and what-have-you. The girl I just started dating is an inch shorter then I am in flats... T_T I've always dated girls taller then I am, so heels were never a problem. How do you handle dating someone shorter and still wear heels? I dont like the idea of towering over her... but I love my heels and the way they make my legs look! :seeingstars:
|
:moonstars: I went on a first day this past Friday and this is what I wore! What cha think bois and girls?

Oh, and I want those white shoes with the funky heels to your right and I'm intrigued with the black and white polka dotted thing crumpled up on the floor on your left. |

The black and white polka dot thing is a big Hello Kitty bag, like a beachbag or overnight bag... Haha. |
Okay, I definitely want the bag.
lol |
Yay, are we talking about clothes? I spend waaaay too much time on Etsy looking at vintage dresses. My vintage collection has seriously doubled since I discovered Etsy had a crap-ton of plus size vintage dresses.
I used to be more goth, but these days my uniform is black pencil skirt, black tights, high heeled oxfords, and cute sweater or blouse. |
I have the clothes I would wear if I could afford them and had anyplace to wear them to. Then I have my actual wardrobe. I would love to wear sexy rockabilly dresses, vintage 1940's dresses, great big, fabulous heels, all with stockings and garters every day.
In reality, I'm an unemployed college student and I ride a scooter to school every day, and safety trumps fashion. So my actual wardrobe is generally jeans, fitted baby tees, and my stompy 28-eyelet Doc Marten's, along with my pink and black armored jacket and pink helmet. |
OMG TORRID!
Check it out on line - clearance sale!!!! Lots of fierce 40's style. Love me some pencil skirts!!! ADG |
That's cute!

I normally wear black Kenneth Cole slacks, a cute top and a cardigan to work everyday. I love wearing clothes that compliment my body shape and I tend to buy more pants and skinny jeans than skirts. Working in the retail industry for almost ten years forced me into pants. I have several skirts that I like to wear out to dinner with some really cute tights.
My favorite shoe designer is Kenneth Cole and his shoes are timeless...Ask Medusa who got to see my Kenneth Cole 9-2-5 Technology heels. This si the pair that I own: http://www.kennethcole.com/product/i...075225.3075256 This is the other pair that I own and everyone wants to borrow them http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/sw...-flat-red.html Weak ankles make it hard for me to wear heels longer then half an hour, so I normally like wearing flats or Skechers. I also love to shop at Talbots, Ann Taylor and White House Black Market or Target...Torrid is a kick ass store and I still love to shop there! Zimmeh |
While browsing the site where I found the image for my second pair of Kenneth Cole shoes, I found these and I would definately rock them!
http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/bu...el-cognac.html And these... http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/ga...ck-patent.html Shoes are my best friend!!!! Zimmeh |

I've decided to stop being quite so self-expressive at work and to begin trying to look promotable. I'm currently in a position which requires 2 years time before the next promotion at this company, but I've decided to attempt to dress like a professional for work. This is a new path for me, since I've tended to think of work as something I have to do and at the clothes I wear as whatever I can get away with. Anyway, I'm currently attempting to revamp my work-wardrobe in order to make me appear more professional. Thank the gods for the Austin Goodwill, where I have found some lovely snappy blazers and vests. I don't want to go to work looking like a corporate automaton, but it's occurred to me that my goals in life are changing. I would like to put myself through a sort of self-styled finishing school. I am proud of my upbringing and my class as well as my eccentricity and general fashion silliness, but in order to have a position that pays well enough for me to do things like purchase a home, have children, put them through college one day - I need steady work and a higher income. I want my boss to not think twice about having me in meetings with the higher-ups or to task me with things that require the competence I already possess.
Anyway, I've been reading some books regarding the current "rules" of corporate dress for women, and I may be posting some of this info here in this thread. I would love to hear about other femmes' professional wardrobe choices - including finishing touches and the like. <3 |
Well I think I'm seriously out of the loop when it comes to femme fashion ~ I gotta get back with the times :D

I am so clueless on proper business wear. If I suddenly started working in an office that required it, I'd be SOL because I've never owned a suit in my life. I don't know if it's a Vancouver/West Coast thing, or just specific to my company because we're in the outdoor industry, but people at my office wear jeans, yoga pants, Gore-Tex, and flip flops.
I'm wearing a black skirt, a tan sweater from Banana Republic, and flat brown boots and I'm considered super dressed up. /kanyeshrug |
