Trying to make other people do my bidding

[slemslempike]

Last November lots of people did daily outfit blogging. I really liked that, and I'd like to encourage you all to do it again, so that I have more things to read, and can think about clothes more, and and and I JUST WANT YOU TO POST.

Ok remind me when it's November

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

Yes I will.

[everthere.livejournal.com]

And the baby

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

If I tell you when it's November, can you pass it on to the baby?

[everthere.livejournal.com]

She has an email address, i guess i could forward it

[ms-bracken.livejournal.com]

Maybe, actually! I have been liking clothes of late.

[ms-bracken.livejournal.com]

Just realised, tho, I cycle thru all my outfits in ten days so Nov 1-10 would be interesting and fun, then you'd get "oh yeah this again"*2

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

That would be reassuring! I like seeing that other people don't have unlimited wardrobes and combinations.

[hfnuala.livejournal.com]

I could try. And isn't my weekly 'this is what I haven't been reading' post good enough for you?

I might need to wear some non white stuff things though.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

I like your weekly reading post! I am just not very good at commenting. I would ALSO like to see your clothes.

[buzzy-bee.livejournal.com]

I think I might do that this year! And I have been meaning to start posting more.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

Yay! I found that lots of people who were posting about their clothes last year also started including other bits in their posts, or making separate ones as well. Then at the end of November everyone said "ooh, I've liked posting more" and then stopped doing it.

I will try... no consistent promises though.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

Trying is the main thing! I love your icon, by the way.

I had been pondering this already, because I feel my clothes have got in a bit of a rut and I would like to improve them. With this prompt from you, I might manage that. Thank you!

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

Hurray! Now that I no longer feel that I am expected to take an interest in clothes, I am beginning to do so, so I like seeing what other people wear and thinking about whether I might like to wear it.

[slightlyfoxed.livejournal.com]

I may! (Here is my black jumper. Here is my identical black jumper.) It might remind me to wear more of my suits.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

You could wear all the black jumpers and then do a spot the difference competition, to make people guess if it's the exact same one, another identical one, or one with slight differences.

'One of them is cashmere - a chocolate prize to the discerning viewer who can tell me which one!'

This sounds like a nice low-effect daily posting thing! I'm currently between jobs so "clothing" might include pajamas.
I'm also currently on holidays in Spain with my family . The first few days of November will be the last few days of the holidays so will probably involve the dredges of my holiday wardrobe.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

You will make everyone jealous of you with your comfortable pyjamas! And indeed holiday wardrobe. Last year yiskah did it from South Sudan, so her outfits were all wonderfully summery while we in the cold of Europe (and elsewhere) wrapped up resentfully.

I will try to post more.

I tried on a lovely tweed suit in JL yesterday (have birthday tokens to spend). The skirt was a good fit but the jacket was an abominable fit (too short, bust darts in wrong place, sleeves too tight).

I am also contemplating this skirt and/or this dress.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

I can't decide what I think about the Hobbs suit - something about the stripes (though that might be the monitor not coping). The two Phase Eight ones are lovely.

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

I think it might be the monitor; it's not as harsh as that in person, and much more about squares than stripes. The yellow colour is more golden yellow than the slightly orangey colour it is on my monitor.

The Phase Eight skirt is not in the shop so I have not seen it in person. The skirt makes me smile with its clash of stripes and flowery brocade pattern. The dress is in the shop and I think the colours are nicer in person on that too.

Oo, yes, I was contemplating doing Clovember this year. I've always been a bit of a clothes shopping, and what with retail therapy in the last few years the size of my wardrobe has gone from embarrassing to insane. Am slightly worried that people who aren't into Clovember will be bored and irritated by it, mind.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

I'm not really into clothes, but I like clovember. I'd especially like to see yours, as I'd like to see what you did with colour.

[alitheapipkin.livejournal.com]

Hi, found you via this Clovember thing and we have a bunch of friends in common so I'm friending you so you can read my posts (don't like posting photos publicly). Also those of us still trying to keep some community around here near to stick together :-)
