Clothing

Ok, I have a couple of outfits that I like but I don’t know if they are good for my blogging conference next week (Blissdom). And while I love my husband, he is no help in these areas;). So I am coming to you, the blogosphere to help! What do you think of these?

This is an outfit that I wore on TV back on February 3rd. It is a simple black, knit dress with a faux belt. I love these slouchy black boots because they are flat!!! And of course I am wearing my standard denim jacket (best find ever). I am not sure about the denim on the black but the sleeves are just cap sleeves so I need something over it! Oh, I picked up that dress for just $14 from Ross!

And this is what I wore yesterday. The belt is my new acquisition. I picked it up over at Lane Bryant and I think it helps camouflage the belly. But I am just not sure about the over all look. And I will not be taking those 3 inch wedges to Blissdom;). But I am super comfy in that roomie purple shirt and the skinny jeans are slimming, right? (Am I just fooling myself?)

Let me know what you think and someday I may be able to dress myself;). Maybe.

Twist Scarf Wearing

February 8, 2012 By NerdMom Leave a Comment

Ok, the traditional knotting of the scarf at your neck just never looks right on me. Unless I want to look from head to hips like a solid ball. This fixes that, is cute and is warm!

A Simple Outfit

January 24, 2012 By NerdMom 2 Comments

So this is what I wore on tv last week. I don’t know if it was the right choice but;). There is something about a crisp white shirt that just always makes me feel pulled together. So I paired a white shirt from Lane Bryant with a denim jacket (that is my go to) that I got on clearance about 18 months ago from Fashion Bug. I think it looks pretty cute with my awesome Lee jeans that I got at BlogHer! I actually wore my red heels on camera but ran my errands in my CLaundry black flats. I added a multi-string necklace to give it a touch of edge. Pretty easy to wear.

WIWW What do you think?

January 17, 2012 By NerdMom 6 Comments

So I am often unsure of my outfits, with trying trends and prints but not sure if it is just too much. This is an outfit I wore out to run errands. This shirt (from the Avenue) is one of the things I am never sure about. The hubby thinks it is a little much but I always get compliments. So I am very torn. What do you think?

The pants are also from The Avenue and a simple tank. I have some great black flats that I found from Ross that are CLaundry brand.

Then onto the jewelry! I picked up this set from Fashion Bug as a $6 Black Friday deal. I hadn’t gotten Christmas jewelry in years and decided that I needed a more mature look;).

This flower headwrap is another fashion quandary. I think it is cute but…. it feels a little large. And is it too juvenile?

Ugh! I wish I felt more confident about these things!

Now I still have to figure out what I am wearing on tv this week. Next week you will see what I chose;).

What I Wore Wednesday!

January 3, 2012 By NerdMom 2 Comments

So I decided to start participating in What I Wore Wednesday! I figure that it will help keep me out of sweats. I like clothes but sometimes it is hard to justify wearing something cute to hang out around the house.

This week I am starting with an outfit I wore to church on Sunday. The shirt is from the Avenue and I got it for a steal. I think it was $10? The pants are by Caribbean Joe. The shoes are one of my favorite things and are by Strictly Comfort.

I realized that you can’t see my super cute blingy snowman earrings but next time I will take better pics!

Math & Fashion?

September 12, 2011 By NerdMom 3 Comments

Sounds like a match made in Nerd Girl heaven right? That is the first thing I thought about when I heard about Sonsi’s Fashion Genius feature!

Let me straight out say, I have issues with clothes! I am trying to be more deliberate about style and fit but ugh, I must have a weird body! I have so many fit issues! And they aren’t even issues that are just about me being fat, even plus size clothes don’t fit quite right. But apparently I am not alone:

The Issues With Fit
Our survey results reveal that the majority of plus size women have major
issues finding pants and jeans that fit, with 55% reporting they want to
conceal their waists and 46% wanting to conceal their hips. Additional data
shows that, when it comes to pants and jeans, plus size women experience a
wide range of fit issues:
• 65% report problems with jeans gaping at their waist
• 63% avoid narrow leg pants and leggings
• 52% experience fit issues in the waist
• 30% experience fit issues in the hips

And that is just about pants!!! There are similar statistics about all the other types of clothes too! But that is where Fashion Genius kicks in. They have a 3 minute quiz that helps us to find the perfect clothes! And this isn’t just based on whim but it is based on an algorithm developed with over 70 million data points of information (yes, I am getting my geek on;).

So what does the Fashion Genius look like in style for me?

My profile for tops

I have to say, I think that is pretty dead on to how I want to dress! This is just awesome!!! I never feel very confident in trying anything new and cute so this is just the tool I need!

So go try it out and let me know how it works for you. Did it pin down your style? Did it show you some super cute clothes? Let me know!!!

Math and Fashion, for the win!
