Never heard of woogies either unless it was preceded by the word Boogie....

Those darn stirrup pants would not stay in my shoes. Who could afford boots?

I like pantyhose for winter and wear them under my jeans.
Love the warmth. I googled woogies and they don't even
know what the heck they are. Sus-whatever that mij mentioned are sexy but way too much for me and like leggings but wear them only occasionally, when the temp dips to subzero. WOOGIES??? What R woogies?

They are my "made up name" for anything that hangs over or around or down!

Under my arms, above my knees, inside my thights! etc.

WOOGIES!

Well, it's my understanding that purple is the IN color this fall. But those darn blazers are so short. I don't care for cropped styles. I, personally, like longer jackets.

Hi Di,
Oh! Okay! Got it! WOOGIES!

What say you? Do you gals like the short, short jackets?

You know, we have a woman who is a member of the NABBW who actually owns a biz called Fashion Fit Formula. They measure you and tell you exactly what length (by mathematical equations) of jacket you should be wearing, or skirt, or collars, etc. It's very interesting. They are very precise.

I've never cared for the short jackets myself. But that's just me.

Wow, looks very interesting. I just don't have the money to do that right now, but would love to.

Does anyone watch the show on Bravo called "What not to wear"? It has helped me see that looking thinner is better accomplished by showing off your curves, not covering them up with long bulky sweaters and such. I would love to go to a seminar or something to be measured and have professional shopping assistance; I've never been good at putting outfits together.

I watch that show on occasion. They do make some good points.

I watch "What Not To Wear" I actually like fashion, and had a desire for fashion design when I was a kid. Anything but the mundane tasks of hemming and mending! I like putting outfits together, and I am getting more relaxed about mixing colors and patterns. I alternate my style from bohemian to tailored, depending on mood and occasion. On the today show today, they did a segment with Stacey London on tights vs pantyhose, my initial question. Patterned were shown. Also, the cropped jackets. Yet on a magazine cover, the pose is of Brooke Shields in a knee length trench coat. Yeah, who makes these rules anyway?

I looked at the link for Fashion Fit website.. it looks like to me, simple lessons in proportionate cuts/styles in relation to person's body frame.

I watch that tv show also on Bravo..but less so now, because I have less time..with my lengthy work commute.

I've always enjoyed fashion shows. Not beauty contests...fashion shows where real artistry and craftsmanship is paraded about. It's fun and imaginative to me.

Before cycling took over me, I did sew about 80-85% of all my clothing. Tailored jackets with French pockets, bound cloth buttonholes, jeans with French seams, dresses, etc. I did sew several going-away dresses for several friends' weddings. It was the skill that clearly my mother made sure all her 5 daughters acquired. So all of my sisters are equally skilled with the sewing our own clothing. It sure as heck, motivated us to handwash and iron our own sewn clothing...which probably made Mom happy with less work.

During my sewing life, I used to love spending hrs. in textile stores and flipping through pattern catalogs. Imagining colour and textural combinations. I considered it really another form of artistic visualization. So I acquired several boxes of bolts of fabric.. It was SO HARD to let go of new fabric when I had to move my stuff.
