Sometimes when I think I actually look cute I'll take a picture, but the lighting in our room is awful. So I have this log of bad pictures. Lame. I've always wanted to do blog posts like "help this outfit." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-799510 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:26:10 +0000 .twist. 799510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: this made me laugh and then cry a little.

They had 'normal' (classic?) clothes but just enough trendy that you can fool people. It was buy one get one 50% off on tops and their cropped 7th ave slacks were on sale for $20!! Great for a budget like mine ;) </p> <p>Thank you ladies for your suggestions/support! Maybe I'll have an #ootd post soon ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-795016 Mon, 20 May 2013 09:56:23 +0000 Mrs. Bee 795016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i put almost zero effort into what i wear and usually look like a hobo. i think i could do a decent job if i put in some effort, and my favorite stores to shop at are zara, h&amp;m, anthro, gap, old navy, jcrew, and madewell.</p> <p>it is fun dressing up the kids though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-794993 Mon, 20 May 2013 09:47:32 +0000 plantains 794993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I am, but I have been on a shopping diet lately so my wardrobe is looking a bit tired. Zara is my go to for just about everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-794954 Mon, 20 May 2013 09:32:15 +0000 LuLu Mom 794954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to think that I'm trendy, even though I'm cheap :) I'm a bargin shopper now that I'm a mother and have another mouth to feed. I like NY&amp;Co, Kohl's, Target, I do a lot of local boutiques to find some "different" items. (my BFF owns a store, so I get my fun clothes there at wholesale cost since I help out in the store when needed) </p> <p>I also get a lot of cheap staples at Forever 21, Rue 21 (plain shirts/tank tops that I build up with acccessories!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-794938 Mon, 20 May 2013 09:27:35 +0000 Alivoo01 794938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope because I'm cheap and too chicken to try on "fun" things. I stick to basic/simple stuff and call it a day. I am totally envy of those stylish chicks because they look AWESOME, but when I go shopping and see the price tag, (O_O)... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-794804 Mon, 20 May 2013 08:44:22 +0000 littlek 794804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I "try" and be stylish. But sometimes I get lazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-794792 Mon, 20 May 2013 08:41:20 +0000 looch 794792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think "stylish" is something that's really difficult to define. I mean, what some women thinks looks stylish, might not look stylish to another woman.</p> <p>I know what styles fit my body well, that was something that evolved over time, though. I found it to be a new challenge to dress my post pregnancy body, but that's okay, I think I've got it to a formula that works for now.</p> <p>So, for work, it's a three piece formula: pants/skirt, patterned tank, cardigan/blazer. I do this all year round, so I change up color for the seasons.</p> <p>For casual, in summer, I do Athleta's skorts with Old Navy's vintage tees. Cheap enough I can refresh them every summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-794785 Mon, 20 May 2013 08:37:41 +0000 mrsjyw 794785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My go to is Loft, Express, Limited, BR for work related practical but still stylish outfits.</p> <p>Today I have on a pair of silky dress floods, a loose tee top from express, some accessories (i suck in this dept), and white pumps :) (i don't care about the mem day for white rule)</p> <p>Also, aside from stores, I think it's about correctly fitting sizing. I know it mentally hurts sometimes, but I'm a huge advocate for buying bigger and better fitting clothing, than mentally sticking to a prebaby or "skinny" size. Even throughout pregnancy I bought non maternity in larger sizes and it was more flattering than a lot of maternity work clothes :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-794755 Mon, 20 May 2013 08:21:15 +0000 Boheme 794755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be, but now I think I'm pretty boring. I go through phases. Now that I'm married and DH and I budget, I hate spending my money on anything trendy that won't last me a long time...which translates to me buying boring things. I need to work on that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-794539 Mon, 20 May 2013 00:33:37 +0000 joyjoy 794539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know about trendy, but I do make an effort to dress nicely, even as a SAHM. I try to stick to styles and silhouettes that I know will look nice on me, and I adapt trends to fit in with my current wardrobe (which I think is larger than the average bear's :-P). Banana and Gap are my go-to's for basics and easy items. I've recently been finding items I love at Loft, and Kate Spade is a bit of an addiction of mine. I've also had some good luck with the Stitch Fix subscription box. They tend to send me items I would not have thought to try myself but end up loving. Plus, if I don't love it, I can just send it back! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-794513 Sun, 19 May 2013 23:35:15 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 794513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to think that I am. I shop at a ton of different stores: Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Kate Spade, Juicy, BCBG, Bannana Republic, J.Crew, Saks. It depends on what I'm shopping for. I'm a bit of a shop-a-holic though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-794127 Sun, 19 May 2013 14:59:47 +0000 autumnlove 794127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My frump days outnumber my stylish days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-794113 Sun, 19 May 2013 14:46:59 +0000 winniebee 794113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh but I don't do heels very often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-794112 Sun, 19 May 2013 14:46:30 +0000 winniebee 794112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes. I don't do super trendy one season trendy but I try to dress my 33 yo self somewhat trendy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-794090 Sun, 19 May 2013 14:26:50 +0000 lemondrop 794090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm all about comfort. I'm a poster child for Columbia and The North Face and yoga pants. Looking trendy is just too much work for me (and was even before C). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-793970 Sun, 19 May 2013 12:27:05 +0000 oliviaoblivia 793970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be! Ha! As a SAHM I'm in yoga pants more often than I like to admit. Back in the day, it was important for my career that I looked pulled together and stylish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-793967 Sun, 19 May 2013 12:23:59 +0000 runsyellowlites 793967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummmm no, &amp; considering the stores listed are all out of my budget I don't foresee that changing. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-793957 Sun, 19 May 2013 12:16:00 +0000 MrsKoala 793957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm pretty stylish for the most part or at least, I'm good at dressing my body. I've always been really interested in fashion. I just wish that I could afford to buy clothes more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-793954 Sun, 19 May 2013 12:14:21 +0000 shopaholic 793954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mentally, yes. Practically, probably not! lol! Being a SAHM now, there's just not much practical time and places to be trendy or stylish. But I love fashion and it will always be in my heart and on my minds, even if I can't muster the energy to wear more than yoga pants and a tank! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-793948 Sun, 19 May 2013 12:09:59 +0000 BSB 793948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get by. I don't consider myself trendy at all. I have trouble with shoes and if it looks okay with my outfit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-793942 Sun, 19 May 2013 12:03:38 +0000 Lindsay05 793942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! I wear yoga pants and t shirts far too often! And lets not forget jeans and a hoody. I have no idea hiw to even shop for clothes because I cannot tell what looks good on a hanger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-793879 Sun, 19 May 2013 11:21:54 +0000 Pink Champagne 793879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My work staple stores are BR, Loft, Ann Taylor, etc. I would focus less on trends (especially if you're looking for work clothes) and more on what is flattering on you. For instance, the only cut of BR pants that is flattering on me is their Jackson fit, but they typically only sell those online. J crew has only had skinny pants for god knows what seems like forever, so i dont reallg shop there anymore because those pants arent cute on me.<br /> Nordstrom is a great place for work clothes too- stay out of the junior dept and you should be fine. Also, it might just be a case of buying a larger size than you were before and finding a great tailor to make things fit perfectly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-793845 Sun, 19 May 2013 11:02:39 +0000 Bao 793845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I just dress normal, I'm a pretty simple person so I usually don't follow the trends. Jeans and shirt, shorts and tank, cotton dress...nothing special and I don't wear accessories :) So, I'm probably not stylish lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-793824 Sun, 19 May 2013 10:46:40 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 793824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I need serious help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-793812 Sun, 19 May 2013 10:36:22 +0000 MarieJ 793812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I consider myself to be stylish. I shop at Dillard's (love bcbg), banana, jcrew, the limited and sometimes forever21. Oh, and I love Ann Taylor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-793805 Sun, 19 May 2013 10:32:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 793805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I'm sure you're referring to my OOTD IG posts hahaha so I would say I definitely put effort into what I wear - I love fashion and looking nice!</p> <p>I shop at all the stores you mentioned. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time! I do think that we are our own worst critics though and sometimes I find myself thinking something doesn't look right but everyone else think it's adorable... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stylish#post-793801 Sun, 19 May 2013 10:29:44 +0000 HLK208 793801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always find good, basics at Nordstrom. Usually pants that fit well, sweaters, tops and they all look timeless. then I try to add a trendy accessory like necklace and shoe's. Also, express has a lot of classic clothing too! </p>
