The Official Fashion Fairy Thread

I have a pair of cotton maroon coloured trousers that I never wear. Was foolishly talked into them by the shop assistant. Would it be worth (?possible) having them taken up and turned into a pair of shorts?

My apologies. The Fashion Fairy has been in Milan and Paris turning down some modeling offers.

Are the pants nice ones? I mean, are they worth the expense of a good alteration- probably $15 AT LEAST. Are they pants that would take that kind of alteration? Like, are they going to look silly as shorts?

I'm leaning on the side of no. Why throw good money after bad?
 
Thanks pmann, I got them altered but they took off about 2inches less than I wanted - now they're peddle pushers! I can roll them up a bit though.

Either way they'll be good enough for getting wet and dirty in field this weekend.

Plus better to find out now not to go back for alterations with something I actually want to wear.
 
PS. I have shoes very similar to those, but I wouldn't pair them with those jeans.

What, you would pull out those woolly sheepskin boot things instead???

Oh hell - I have crossed to the other side or has Rainshine just gone an ugg boot too far...?

Seriously? Ya what!!!??? I mean jeggings were bad, but now tragicjeans?!!!

You are spending way too much time at THAT shopping centre.
 
hahahah No, it was THE OTHER ONE. :eek:

Oh hell - and THAT one is only ten minutes away... but I avoid it with as much passion as every other one - shudders and whole body spasm at sheer thought of it all. :eek:

Re. skinny jeans - well I suppose Molly did her twirl in a pair or two.
 
Dear Fashion Fairy,

In keeping with my love of denim, I tried on a pair of jeans today. I thought of you while trying them on however I forgot to snap a pic.

These were no ordinary jeans. These jeans had elastic around the ankles AND an elastic waist! They were pale and baggy. AND SO SO COMFORTABLE.

Now, as I'm admiring these amazing things in the mirror, and turning this way and that and checking out how big my arse looks in them I thought "Self, what would the Fashion Fairy say about these?" and then I burst out laughing because I can only imagine.

So, Fashion Fairy, here they are....what say you?

Dear Cleopatra,

You're right. Those are not ordinary jeans. It's like a pair of inbred jeans. One pair of hideous jeans decide to breed with their cousin, a pair of ugly sweatpants. Then, nine months later, they shit these things out.

Those are the ugliest things I've ever seen in my life. Oh my god. You know those pants that have sayings on the arse? They say slutty things like "Juicy" or "Kiss Me". These should say "Gave Up". Because I can't think of another reason why someone would wear half jeans, half sweatpants. It's like the hugely fat people you see on TV who refuse to get up and their leg rots off and no one can help them. This is the fashion equivalent of that.

Rainshine, since your fashion sense is so horribly shitty, we need to come up with a system for trying on clothes. Here is what you need to do when you enter a dressing room.

1. Take a pic of the clothes on the hanger.
2. Get undressed.
3. Take a pic of that.
4. Remove bra and knickers.
5. Take a pic of that.
6. Send pics to me.
7. Get dressed and leave the store.

Then I'll tell you to just stop trying on such hideous clothes. But, we will need you to try on more and more clothes until we get it right. For that, repeat steps 1-6.
 
I was wrong. I almost always am. Those jeans are sexy, and totally on trend for young, hip sexy things like Rainshine.

BUY THEM. BUY TWO PAIR.
 
I thought maybe you bought a pair of these: Janimals. I saw them on a commercial the other day and was aghast, but they don't make bunny ones. Seems sort of "furry wannabe" to me. I do kinda like the unicorn though. :)
 
Oh...t'anks vedy muchly, HowToPeople.

I was looking for Beachy's thread & found this. I've read up & am now thoroughly back to my happy self.

:heart:

The important thing is that you're more fashion conscious. And that you don't wear those awful clothes like my beloved Rainshine wears.
 
go rim a rat

I was just recalling this gif and had to go searching. :D Best NightL creation ever.

Why thank you ma'am - but there were many months of build up for that creation - and pmann was undoubtedly the inspiration for all...

Without the above mentioned title (all credit to pmann) - well...?

Lately I think there has been a lacking of the pmann take down - must be middle age spread - too comfortable in the tassels (I just tried to spell check tassels and got tasteless) :)
 
Any thoughts on capsule wardrobes for men? It seems that for maximum interchangeability you need less variety and run the risk of it all getting a bit samey and drab. How do you add flair to a capsule wardrobe?

What is a capsule wardrobe?
 
What is a capsule wardrobe?

It's tiny little clothing to dress up your advil so you can be fancy.

Capsule wardrobe is a group of clothing pieces that coordinate, so they can be interchanged to create a variety of looks. It's very efficient.

As opposed to my groaning walk-in, crammed to the rafters with $1000s worth of clothing that I will probably never even look at again. (And this is after the purge of 5 lawn and leaf bags full of clothes and shoes during the move.)

Dear Fashion Fairy,

What are you thoughts on this guy?

Sincerely,
Curious Me

My thoughts are that this guy dresses like a retarded homeless man.

Let me tell you all the things wrong with this outfit.

1. Brown shoes. Black trousers.

2. Black trousers. Navy jacket.

3. Trousers are uglier than Hugh Jackman. Fuck. They got like MC Hammer's pants up top and some skinny jeaned dickhead hipster pants at the bottom.

4. His jacket is wrinkly, ugly and of the Miami Vice fit.

5. His shirt looks like he took it out of the washer, skipped putting it in the dryer, balled it up and threw it in the corner. Then, two weeks later he picked it up, ensuring it never came CLOSE to an iron and threw it on.

6. He stinks. I can tell. I'm certain he smells like weed and sour, two week old shirt.

7. He's wearing a plastic, child's watch. Grow the fuck up, Stephan.

8. He must live in a town where mirrors are illegal. I'm certain of this. Absolutely certain. Otherwise, he would never have walked out looking like that. Never. Never. Never.
 
I just thought I should let you all know that the Fashion Fairy officially endorsed my denim vest today. His exact word was "perfect."

:D

I said YOU looked puhfect. You did. Your denim vest looked like something Judd Nelson gave away at a garage sale. I just can't stop looking at you because you're so stunning. You could wear a Nickelback shirt and you would be hot.
