At long last...

Maybe I scared him.

Anyway, he soon calmed down:



Yes, mciac, I realize that I was wearing a t-shirt. But it's a good t-shirt that has flowers and their Latin names on it, so I forbid you to be disapproving. Not that this will actually stop you, I realize. ;)

Thanks. Good pictures of me are very rare, but I think this is one of them. I dunno, livredor's very picky, you can ask her what she thinks. :)

Well, I can't imagine they are, but we tend to be picky with those depictions of ourselves. & ;-)

Err, mciac thinks they're unflattering.

*g* Ah, then you can take it: Not a huge T-shirt fan myself-- even if I was really skinny, they would not be trendy enough, really. I try to go for classy, slightly sporty, sometimes hip clothing-- dark pants, simple-but-spiffy tops, blouses, thin pullovers, black leather shoes (whether high heels or sneakers).
Not that you wanted to know, but hey, this is what you get when dealing with extroverts. *g*

Besides which, she disapproves with things that have words or pictures on them

LOL-- a girl after my own liking.
::goes off to befriend mciac::
Definitely the way I was raised when it comes to clothing: unicolour, if possible, less quantity, more quality, classy stuff, basically.

She basically thinks I don't dress well enough. ;)

Heh. My sister would like her, too; she's very much like Cher in Clueless at times: "Gee, she's really pretty...but screaming for a make-over." & ;-)

Huh. *feels picked on*

With the trousers, especially, I just really don't like wearing things other than jeans. It'd be OK if lost some weight around my hips, but as it is, if I don't wear jeans, the fronts of my legs stick out funny. Possibly I should just go to the gym occasionally, I think that would probably help. ;)

And I have very little sense of style. *grin*

Aw, so sorry.
::looks cute::
It's just because we think you're too pretty to be lost in the realms of less perfect clothing. & :-)

Now, wouldn't it..? *g*

but as it is, if I don't wear jeans, the fronts of my legs stick out funny.

Darlin', & ;-) you just haven't found the right line of clothing, then. I assume you don't have especially weird legs, so there should be *some* cut that fits well.
I usually have to search around quite a bit...

Possibly I should just go to the gym occasionally, I think that would probably help. ;)

Heh. So true. I went jogging and swimming during summer; just have to convince myself now that it's chilly and dark...

I have to say...as I told monanotlisa in my journal, the reason why I push you to wear things other than t-shirts is because you have a nice body. There's an entire world of people who should wear baggy, unflattering clothing...you're just not one of them ;)

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Yes!

And I'm a silly dork, Darcy; of course, I meant *myself* when I talked about the fact losing a few pounds might be a good idea...

[darcydodo]

Oh, I just thought you meant women in general have that problem. :)

[darcydodo]

Well, thank you. :) Now I'll have to go read that journal entry. ;)

Just, nice clothes cost too much. I'd much rather spend all that money on books.

On the side of the T-shirts

FWIW, I am a *big* fan of t-shirts. I fully support your right to sartorial comfort. Ditto with the trouser issue.
