I dunno what to call my style--preppy with a hint of hoochie? I dunno LoL.
Gaaah...is there anything wrong with "brand name anything"?I must confess that most of my clothes came from Benetton, Armani Exchange, Guess,NafNaf,Diesel and Stefanel when I was living in the Philippines (we didn't get American brands A&F,Gap or Express over there, just mostly European brands, so I didn't wear A&F and the Gap until I moved here). I wear baby tees/tanks, capris, jeans or overalls from those stores plus gym shoes or maryjanes and (gotta have) a matching purse...and of course, I also Greek attire such as tees or sweater w/ letters!
For party wear I like one shouldered or sparkly halter tops and them so called sorority girl pants...the tops I get them real cheap at Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe--they're mostly 18 bucks or less and pretty durable too...plus the ever reliable Kate Spade purse to carry your "necessities" (which of course, was already discussed in the other thread). I also have a collection of cheongsams (the traditional silk fitted chinese dress w/ mandarin collar)--w/ sleeves or w/o, short or long and in a lot of colors...I wear them to parties, or in church (the long ones w/ sleeves anyway)w/ my hair up w/ sticks and it makes me feel like Lucy Liu or someone... ;D my ex told me many times how he finds the look so sexy. Anyway the cheongsam has withstood centuries of fashion trend changes and I don't think it's gonna go out of style anytime soon
...I have a beautiful floral red sleevless long one that I wore to one of our formals and it gave me a break from the traditional "prom queen" type of getup (although dont get me wrong, i like that look too!). also that one dress's side slits were slightly higher than the traditional cheongsam's slits were supposed to be...my ex was the one who pointed it out, saying "i don't think the ancient chinese had their slits THAT high..."
