[Edited on December 7, 2011 at 6:43 PM. Reason : Is that the modcloth coach dress?]


Omg it is... That's the dress I asked for ony Christmas list, except in rose! Now I need to decide if I want the arctic print or rose print.... Hmm.

I only got free 1st row for 60 days! Still a dangerous dangerous thing. Although, I hit my ideeli limit two weeks ago with a pair of boots, a dress, and a nine west suit.

I am a fan of these. I just pinned them.

I stocked up on Black Friday with some tights and leggings. Got some last winter and decided I needed many more pairs. They are much better quality, IMO, but still not outrageous $. LOVE.

Not sure why it was 90 and not 60, except I've spent way too much on there lately. Or it's a new promo for them. Bought $400+ worth of Xmas gifts alone. Though I def saved a lot bc of that.

That said, I need a lot more clothing and will continue to enjoy ideeli. I'm fast approaching 30 and realize a lot of my wardrobe isn't quite age-appropriate. Anyone else dealing with this?

yes - my tastes in clothing have changed a lot recently. i feel like i better know now what works for me and what i like so i know how to shop appropriately. i prefer solid color clothes over prints. when i was heavier i looked for looser fitting clothes - now i prefer more of a fitted look. i have tried really hard to steer from lesser quality clothing and focus more on higher quality. it's just been tough because i went out and bought a bunch of new work stuff in September (size 6 pants) and i'm meeting my VP today and those same pants i bought a few months ago are literally falling off of me. and this is the first time i am wearing these particular pants

12/8/2011 8:30:20 AM

I decided I should stop dressing like a broke college student. I bought some new clothes recently. The dress I am wearing now is from ideeli and I really like it. A women just asked me for fashion advice because of how I am dressed. Pretty sure no stranger has ever asked my opinion.

Guh yes! It doesn't help that I had to abandon most of my wardrobe last year and just haven't have the funds to really fill it back up. I have like 5 pairs of pants and maybe 10 shirts to my name right now that I would consider work appropriate. And most of them are summer clothes which does me no good

12/8/2011 11:09:41 AM

^^Its a great feeling huh?

Yay for bmel

OH THANK YOU PUNCHMONKEY

12/8/2011 12:05:07 PM

^ >_> of course I am. I don't need no sugar daddy. Besides, you need to save up to buy me a car.

^^ it does feel great. 4 compliments so far and one was even from a stylish black girl which counts double, imo

Oh and I paid off my student loan so I don't even feel guilty about buying new boots and clothes

I dyed my hair red, again. I am realizing to keep this color up I am going to have to dye it more often than normal.

12/8/2011 7:41:44 PM

^ very pretty

12/8/2011 7:43:40 PM

^^ very pretty

That hair color is absolutely perfect for your skin and eye color. Looks wonderful.

12/8/2011 9:38:03 PM

punchmonkey....I'd hit it

12/8/2011 9:41:03 PM

<3 punchmonk! Love the color.

12/8/2011 9:51:10 PM

YAY!! I am glad you all like it.

12/8/2011 9:56:03 PM

Love the hair punchmonk! The bangs, the red.... Just the other day I was toying with the idea of red again but can't stomach the upkeep

12/8/2011 9:56:43 PM

I have what is potentially a silly question, as I have never been pregnant, but is dying your hair safe during pregnancy? I want to go darker with mine, but have been holding off, since I didn't want to deal with not being able to touch it up if I were to get pregnant any time soon.

[Edited on December 8, 2011 at 9:58 PM. Reason : Obviously, I am thinking it is, since you did!]

12/8/2011 9:57:51 PM

How often do I have to do this? I don't dye it often but it seems red is OFTEN.

I have read so many things and have talked to my doctors and my stylist friends...I get the ok but most women don't do it just in case.

they make dyes you can use while pregnant

12/8/2011 9:59:06 PM

^That is awesome.

^^Thanks for the response. The book I have said something along the lines of "people will tell you both sides, but it's probably fine."

[Edited on December 8, 2011 at 10:03 PM. Reason : ]

12/8/2011 10:00:04 PM

yea i think you just can't perma-dye it. with all the ammonia and shit in it. dyes that are vegan friendly like manic panic are safe (or maybe it's all semi-permanent but i'm not totally sure about that)

12/8/2011 10:03:22 PM

Holly, I loved red on you. But yeah, crazy upkeep. I've found that blonde is easiest for me. Red fades so quickly.

Also, does anyone else here experience anxiety? If so, how do you deal?

12/8/2011 10:03:26 PM

I started seeing a cognitive thought (I think that's the right way to say it) therapist. She really helps me think things rationally and make things I get anxious over seem not as bad as I make them out to be.

12/8/2011 10:47:08 PM

I LOVE it!!! It looks so great on you


You should pick up the Madder Root conditioner from Aveda - it deposits the red color back in for you

12/8/2011 11:22:26 PM

what is age appropriate for 30?

12/8/2011 11:43:33 PM

Ladies, if I wanted an absolutely ridiculous christmas sweater where would I look

12/9/2011 1:03:22 AM

i saw some uglies in walmart

12/9/2011 3:58:03 AM

^^ I have seen some hideous ones at the thrift store in cameron village in previous years, though I'm sure any thrift store would do

12/9/2011 5:16:01 AM

The Kim Rogers section at Belk!!!

12/9/2011 7:21:48 AM

I have some in my closet mmy mom gave me.

I'm going on my first solo excursion with my future mother in law to the mall today at noon. I'm nervous.

12/9/2011 7:24:44 AM

Walmart has a fabulous collection of hideous Christmas sweaters this year. Otherwise, Goodwill is always the place to look.

occamsrezr bought me a ridiculous one off of Amazon this year. This shit has so much sparkly bling on it I blind people walking down the street.



But mine is black. And apparently it's now sold out

The picture really doesn't do it justice. It's much more gaudy in person

[Edited on December 9, 2011 at 8:44 AM. Reason : a]

12/9/2011 8:42:59 AM

You can always go to Michaels or AC Moore and make your own hideous Christmas sweater

12/9/2011 8:50:12 AM

Oh man!! I happen to be wearing my tacky christmas sweater today!! I got it at JC Penny, I think. It was a few years ago.

12/9/2011 8:59:56 AM

So I emailed "Santa" about those NC State boots and Santa wrote back and said "Don't you think you are a little too short to pull off boots like that?"

Santa is very judgey

12/9/2011 9:10:05 AM

i got two horrible christmas sweaters and one horrible christmas turtle neck at kmart last year

and there was a pretty horrible men's christmas sweater at urban outfitters yesterday...which just made me sad...
