ElaineJ Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Oh, no......do we have to feel bad about wearing clothes from Lands' End now? :001_unsure: They are so comfortable and I like them.

TravelingChris Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Wow, Land's End is bad??? Wow, just wow. I think Land's End, LL Bean, etc, type clothing is classy and looks fine in any decade. Oh, and I socialize in a circle with high ranking officers and their wives, doctors, lawyers, engineers, business owners, etc. Basically the top rungs and you wouldn't have looked out of place here.

Sahamamama Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) :party:I'll bring cupcakes! I'll make tea. The real kind of tea, that you put in a cup. To go with the cupcakes. ;) Ya know, I just finished organizing my teas. Spicy teas in one box, herbal/minty teas in another, black/green in another... Why am I segregating my teas? Hmm.... We're going to have some nice masala chai in a few minutes. All three girls are wearing adorable Land's End dresses that look like Pop Pop's boxers, LOL (they like to match). It's a tea party, and we like all types here. :D:D:D Are you a fruity tea, a spicy tea, a black tea, or a green tea? If you were a tea, what kind of tea would you be?

Shows where I stand in life! Yikes! Myra Same here. Of course I have to admit that I hate clothes shopping and generally don't like "trendy" clothes. Land's End mixes and matches well, I would rather spend my time and mental energy doing curriculum research than figuring out outfits.

freesia Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'd come, too! FWIW the "old money" side of my family all wear Land's End. Me thinks those ladies are "trying too hard."

elegantlion Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I had a weird dream last night. I was walking and I saw this group of girls who were dancing in a routine, then I noticed their director (who was dressed like a pimp) on the ground yelling up at the girls. They were singing a song about McDonalds and were wearing these trashy outfits while groovin' with these giant soda cups from Mickey Dees. I yelled up, "You don't have to do this, it's who are you the inside that counts, not what you look like on the outside." They just kind of glared at me. I turned to whoever was with me and said something like "they never will get it will they" and we kept walking. :lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Wow. I'm in jeans shorts and a maternity tank (which did not fit me pregnant because my plan to be a cute pregnant chick was thwarted by twins)... I've been to tea at the Four Seasons with no scandalous fallout. I would be oddly dressed if I was wearing formal tea-wear at home, and casual wear at tea. I'm sure most people know the difference between dress up occasions and casual ones, don't they? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'm more of an Old Navy clearance girl myself, can I still come?

jhschool Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Most of my clothes came from the thrift shop, ebay under $10 (including shipping!), and Target and Meijer Clearance (all garments $10 or way under). I do have a couple of nice dresses from Eddie Bauer and Hanna Andersson from way back when we didn't have to pay for violin lessons! (7 years ago).

SunnyDays Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Sometimes I feel like a slob when I hit Target in jeans and a t-shirt (usually from Kohl's, I would wager)... because, really, do you have to dress up for Target? I've discovered apparently you do... I keep running into women dressed to the nines. And it's not the after-work dressed up crowd, it's the SAHM crowd. So I will come to the party in my jeans and t-shirt, and I will bring a couple bottles of nice, bubbly wine for us to chat over! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfarm Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) I dress for function and comfort, and occasionally just because I like how an outfit or color makes me feel. I do not dress for the viewing pleasure of others. They may feel free to look the other way. :glare: For the record, I often find the clothes that trendy people wear to be rather distasteful, but I would hope that I am psychologically mature enough to overlook that and to focus more on who they are, not what they wear. IME, many times there isn't much of substance to be found upon closer inspection. I have always liked Land's End, Eddie Bauer, REI, etc. clothing because the relaxed, outdoorsy styles fit my lifestyle much better than more trendy offerings. However, I seem to find quite a bit of it at thrift stores, so I usually buy it for pennies on the dollar. Regardless of their exclusive criteria, I don't enjoy socializing with women who are so insecure that they can't handle relationships with others who are different from them. I assume that most of them would not care to socialize with me either. I have many quirks and habits that I'm sure don't fit the "socially correct" profile.:tongue_smilie: I hope the person who was "too fat and too Land's End" will run, not walk, away from that self-righteous group and find people who follow life, not what the fashion industry has decided to fob off on the unsuspecting and lemming-like public this year. BTW, I'd come to the party if invited and would probably wear something that was guaranteed not to impress. I would try to make it be something clean and mostly wrinkle free, but no guarantees. I often have to guide an errant animal out of the way between my front door and my car door, and the car seat itself is no bastion of crumblessness. However, I could bring some lovely elk or moose meatballs in sauce to die for, and a veggie tray loaded with some of the most tasty, delicate heirloom varieties that exist. :) Edited September 3, 2012 by hillfarm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom4him Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I missed it. What's wrong with Land's End? ETA: Found it. OK. Erm. Wow. Boy, according to this link I would really be out. I haven't had a 'new outfit for several years and then it has been if I found a really good price on a denim skirt or jumper. My jeans are all about 12+ yrs old, most of my tops are 4-6+ yrs old......... I simply don't spend $$s on clothes for myself. I will come to your party though if everyone will agree to not wear fragrances.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
