[Libby]

if it is made of denim i love it:yay:
i have seen denim closets/wardrobes in books.:yay:
i am crazy bout denim. anyone else as crazy as me?? :thumbup:

[Chelles]

well...actually...I'm kinda a girlie girl......

Anyone else crazy about pink????

[collegegirl]

I love both!! :yay:

So I wear a pink top with a denim skirt. :D

Actually, my email is thedenimchef@hotmail.com. There is a story behind that actually...

[Babyruth]

I love denim and jean. It is my favorite kind of skirt to wear. It is super comfortable and everything else.

[Only One Life, Live 4 GOD]

In my tomboy stage I wore a lot of denim but now... I wear balck 90% of my clothing is Black.
Anyone else like black????? Please???

[EllyMae]

Hmm... I rarely ever wear black. But I love pink! and denim... :)

[redeemed]

i like denim but i absoulutely love cacky skirts (and i love pink shirts!:yay: )

[Noe]

i love denim and black. it drives mom mad cause i'm always in a black skirt, but i can wear almost any style or any color top, and if i'm not in a black skirt i'm in a denim skirt.

[SisTrev]

i love denim as well...you can get away with almost any color top with a denim skirt. In fact, today i wore a black shirt with a denim skirt. One of my favorite outits. But i like red or pink too and sometimes orange...depends on my mood.

[alesha19]

awwwww i love clothes. denim, PINK :yay: , black, whatever...

ok... esp pink!!!!!:yay:

[leahmb]

I like VARIETY! I love all colors. Denim is good, because it can go with alot, but I have many colored/patterned/striped skirts. Plus I have to have many colors of shoes and purses (as I think I've already admitted).

[Libby]

I'm kinda a girlie girl.....Anyone else crazy about pink????

my sister is seven she is crazy bout pink she wants a pink car when she grows up. when she was little she saw someone driving a pink car and she cryed because she thought they had stole the car she was going to drive when she grew up.:) i dont really like wearing pink but i do own a dusky pink sweater (we call it a jumper in england).

[AlanaH]

I LOVE black! Unfortunately, I only have black shirts and shoes at the moment...working on getting a black skirt.
And denim is awesome. I have a thing for dark denim jackets, and orange or green shirts over a dark denim skirt. My fave outfit....:)

You HAVENT got a BLACK SKIRT!!!!! I have 5 black skirts and 3 denim ones!!!

[Only One Life, Live 4 GOD]

ewwwwwwwww I hate kahki

[--faithful_star06--]

i'm a girly girl at times, but i definitly have a ton of denim skirts!! i also love those crinkly skirts, in the summer they are the best thing, they are a flowy, light material and are so comfy! haha i usually get stuff on my khaki skirts, so i don't wear those often.. :)

[collegegirl]

OH how I love Khaki! It goes with just about anything! And it is a classic with black.

[redeemed_lizzi]

I love denim and black and corderoy. I'm trying to wean myself out of black and get some more coulour into my wardrope. It' hard, coz black goes with everything. Not sure about khaki, it's ok somtimes. I haven't owned anything khaki in ages. Oooo pinafore's - I haven't worn one of those since i was a little girl....ahhh memories

[redeemed]

ewwwwwwwww I hate kahki


thanks:012: lol jk!!!:)

[marichino_freedom]

i like black, in fact i have on black shoes, socks, skirt with zebra side i made, black shirt and white tank top under.

i am very black today

i like pink, but i love most colors

i love denim too

but i never really match, so eh. i love clothes, but i honestly dress a bit odd.

[AlanaH]

You HAVENT got a BLACK SKIRT!!!!! I have 5 black skirts and 3 denim ones!!!

Well, technically I have a black skirt, but it is a bit snug. And I never really liked it anyway because it was a gauzy type material, and everything (lint, cat hair...etc.) stuck to it. And then you could see whatever was stuck to it...not a pleasant thing. But I haven't been able to find a really nice black skirt, or even material to replace it.

[collegegirl]

Right now, if you have a Sears, try them, cause that is where I found mine. If they have it at one store, they should have it at another. Note emphasis on the word SHOULD.

[AlanaH]

But you are of a slightly different build than me too, so what fits you probably will not fit me. :)
But thanks for the suggestion. And we do have Sears, but it's completely different from the one down there.

[God'schild]

I love the color of Pink!!!(baby pink, light pink)

i have 2 pink skirts and a couple pink shirts.. any time i go cloths shopping i look for pink..

5 demin skirts, 3 black skirts, 2 white skirts etc...

i like Kahki i have 2 kahki skirts..

and 3 skirts that go below the knee...(even when i'm sitting)

[marichino_freedom]

i guess i am a bona fide rainbow......

and i love every color (but brown in small quantities.....too plain)

orange and pink are still awesome together!

[collegegirl]

Oh, I found out that I like what I look like in Brown.

In fact, I am wearing a khaki skirt, brown tank top, and a denim jacket, with black boots.

[SisTrev]

that sounds nice...
eveyone's all in fashion but me...:012:

I need money to go shopping....I'm such a tightwad when it comes to spending money...

[collegegirl]

Oooohhh...Lets get a shopping trip together.

I love sales. If you have a Belks, look for the red dot sales. You can get some really good stuff there. I got an $82 jacket for like $5. That was nice. And all of these $25-$30 shirts for $5-$7. Oh yeah....

[leahmb]

Maybe Sears online??? I don't know, but sometimes online has what our locals stores don't.

[collegegirl]

Chadwicks!!! OOhhh, I LOVE their stuff. They have a decent amount of modest items as well.

[leahmb]

Oooohhh...Lets get a shopping trip together.

I love sales too! In fact I rarely buy something that's not on sale...My "exception" is at Ross, because prices are always good there.

sounds like my kind of store...but we dont have a Belks around here.

[collegegirl]

If you come down, make sure you stop by, and I will take you shopping. Just me and you, and whomever else you want. We even have a Cristopher and Banks, and that store is awesome. :yay:

[leahmb]

We even have a Cristopher and Banks, and that store is awesome. :yay: I agree! They always have skirts too...

[Skirty]

we don't have ANY of the stores you girls have mentioned in Canada... except Sears... life is tough, lol
We do have a store called Le Chateau though, it's a little 'eccentric' but you're pretty much guaranteed to find at least 2 or 3 great skirts!
hmmmm.... now I want to shop :)

[SisTrev]

we have a c and b...that store is nice...but its a little spendy sometimes.

But I'll definatly plan on the 2 of us shopping the next time i'm out your way...um...where do you live ? I forget...

[collegegirl]

Sunny Florida! :sun:

Gorgeous weather right now...come for a visit!

[marichino_freedom]

i'm about to go to the mall of america on saturday......they have everything! well, almost.

cant wait!

12 hours of pure, unadulterated shopping. ahhhhhh

[Libby]

we dont have many shops with suitable clothes in them here in the UK :012: . i mainly get my clothes when i go to america. we go to Berks, Goodys, and Old Navy.

[AlanaH]

BOOOYAAAAAHHHH!!!!

I just went to Christopher and Banks....voila!!!! A black suede skirt that perfectly fit!!!! I'm so happy!!!! Of course, then I had to have the matching jacket that went with it...thank goodness Mom was there and had her credit card, or I would have used up 3 months worth of allowance. :) It was sooooooooooo expensive, but at least I have my black skirt now...I'm so happy...maybe I'll wear it tomorrow.

[Libby]

i am trying to look for denim and black skirts but i can't find any :( :ng_thumbd :012: :ranting: :agry2:

[marichino_freedom]

sheesh!

i bought the weirdest/coolest skirt from the thrift store.

it looks like a 1960s bedspread! (in fact i think it was at one point) i have to alter it though, its a bit snug.

[redeemed_lizzi]

i am trying to look for denim and black skirts but i can't find any :012: :ranting: :agry2:

Do you not have a Primark, Matalan or H&M round your way? That's where I always find my skirts. Especially H&M and Matalan. Ooo and then there's Marks and Spencer, they always have gorgeous skirts- although it's probably better to wait for the sale. My bro bought me the the most gorgeous black corderoy skirt from Marks and Spencer. It's flowey and different sized denim panels mmmm (it was a bit expensive but my bro is the bestest bro in the world :D) . For denim I've always found Topshop or GAP to be really good. I actually bought a really nice denim skirt from GEORGE at ASDA for £14 on Saturday. I was well chuffed. Also in London there's Finsbury Park, where stuff is really pretty and really cheap and East St Market and Liverpool St market. Ooo I wish I had money to shop :012:

we do have Primark, Matalan (my sister has a card for that shop) and H&M but i don't really get time to go there because of work also i am a bit short on money at the moment also i would need someone to take me there because it would be kinda hard to ride home on the bike with a load of bags :)

My many sympathies. Ahhh, money shortages...I could write an essay on that topic ;D

Thats not fair... Topshop, Primark and Dorothy Perkins all in the same city :( lol

[marichino_freedom]

i have heard of H&M and go to their website, but not any of the others.....? are they any good?

[AlanaH]

Thats not fair... Topshop, Primark and Dorothy Perkins all in the same city :( lol

Wow...I've never even heard of any of those place...:( Sad, sad, sad.

[SisTrev]

me neither....

[redeemed_lizzi]

Thats not fair... Topshop, Primark and Dorothy Perkins all in the same city :( lol

Lol, I know it's brilliant and if you go to Oxford St they're all in walking distance of each other (apart from Primark and Matalan which are near where i live :yay: ). I spent a lot of money in Oxford St when I was a student especially ay H&M. H&M is a cool shop and is brilliant for simple t-shirts and simple tops and like I said before, it is fantastic for skirts.

[redeemed_lizzi]

Wow...I've never even heard of any of those place...:( Sad, sad, sad.

WHAAATT??? how is it possible ;). Primark is soooo cheap. Jackets as cheap as £8, t-shirts for £4, household goods, shoes etc etc ...ahhh beautiful - lol. Matalan is also cheap and does some really pretty things. I got some really cute stuff last winter and this summer. I cannot wait till the sales come on....
Pray for me, I'll be going to Oxford St tommorow to buy some yarn. I don't want to come back with anything more than a few balls of wool :D.

[AlanaH]

Sounds to me like these are only places in England...we Americans just missed out is all. But we have some awesome stores that you have probably never even heard of. :) So I guess it evens out.

[vpiper]

Demin crazy, get this My hubby and I bought a demin foton cover for our living room, I'm redoing the couch in demin soon so that it will match.

I just recieved a really cool demin skirt from my sister, Sarah, that i'm really excited about, thank you Sarah.
:)
Yes I'm demin crazy too

[marichino_freedom]

i need help.....i need more denim skirts....i have one (my fav) that i wear all as much as possible, one that ripped in more places than i can count, one that just irritates me, one that is too short, so i'm going to add to it, and one that is too tight. and one that i feel funny in.

*sigh*.....now that i see that, i guess i already have a bunch, but like i said, i dont wear them hardly except the one.

[AlanaH]

You should check out newcreationapparel.com
They have the most amazing jean skirts. I have like 6 of theirs, and they're amazing. They're my favorite skirts because they're so comfortable.

[SisTrev]

wow...those are nice...thanks for the link...i'm gonna have to look into getting a few of those.

[AlanaH]

I just love them. Check back in a week or so, because then they will have the ones on the website that I have. They don't have them there now, but they're working on it.

[SisTrev]

i thought maybe it was a new site. But its nice....and the prices arent bad either. I added myself to there mailing list so i can get updates.

[AlanaH]

That's cool. I found out a bunch of things from the owners, and yeah, staying on the mailing list isn't a bad idea. Every month or so, they get new stuff in.

[chocolateismybestfriend]

I love the denim skirts from here! - http://www.stylishjeans.com/

[SisTrev]

[marichino_freedom]

[vpiper]

[marichino_freedom]

[EllyMae]

Some very nice skirts there! :)

I love jean skirts..

[marichino_freedom]

sometimes www.alloy.com has really cute skirts, and shirts at that!

[AlanaH]

wow....some of those are really cool...makes me want to go shopping...

but i have to have money for that...

anyone have any that they want to part with? LOL

Nope...not a chance. :) Although I do have some really cute skirts that you would probably like, I can't bear to part with any of them.

[CalledOut]

I have to wear khaki for work but I would wear jean skirts all the time if I could get away with it.

the skirts on stylish jeans are very cool:)

[SisTrev]

Nope...not a chance. :) Although I do have some really cute skirts that you would probably like, I can't bear to part with any of them.

that's mean...why tell me about them if you aren't willing to part with them? :012:

just kidding...they probably would't fit me anyway...

[vpiper]

class? oh, for sewing? yeah, i should......get my form down better

it's not that you need help, You do a great job, it would just be fun for you to learn the high skill level, but I bet your Grandma can teach you all that.

[EllyMae]

I need to take a sewing class! lol
I didn't know there was such a thing though...

I would love to learn how to sew really good, so I could start making some of my own clothing. And, I would need a good sewing machine for that, the one I have is old and barely working! lol

[SisTrev]

i dont even own a sewing machine...but its something i've always wanted to have...hoping to get one within the next couple years.

[EllyMae]

Mine was given to me by a neighbor who didn't use it anymore... lol I'm sure the sewing machine is at least as old as I am.

[marichino_freedom]

i have a pretty decent one; vanessa was with me when i bought it!!!

vanessa, remember when seth was like "you'll never use it"? hahaha.....look at me know!!!! i've used it a lot. he dont know me very well, do he? :)

[AlanaH]

My mom has one in the house, but I hardly ever use it. Mostly to sew up a slit or re-hem something that's come undone. But I would love to be able to sew better. Oh well. Can't be good at everything. :)

[marichino_freedom]

i made this rockin skirt last friday.....i had a "shorter" jean skirt (came to just past my knee)...and i added about 7 inches onto the bottom (i had cut about 4 inches off) of polka dot fabric and where i had sewed it from the inside, i fabric glued black ribbon over the thread. and, its frayed where it was cut off.....its kinda 80s though....

Sounds cool...once I had a demin skirt that was too tight to walk in when I sewed up the slit, so I cut off lik 6 inches, did the strip in half and made a ruffle on the bottom...it turned out pretty good.

[EllyMae]

Huuuuuh? I need to know how to sew! lol

[Dreamer]

I love denim too! I wish that 90% of my skirts were denim:yay: Unfortunately, they are too hard to come by:012:

[Babyruth]

I hate sewing. My mom is good at it, luckily for me. I took sewing lessons and my mom tried to teach me to sew. I can sew, I just do not like to do so at all. I don't say this to be proud, but I believe I'm somewhat of a perfectionist, and I can never get what I sew to be perfect, so I hate it. I'd rather not even try. Also, I zig-zag stitched my finger one of the last times I sewed, so I think I'll stay away from those blood sucking creatures for a while. :D

[marichino_freedom]

ouch!!!! how on earth did you do that?

[Babyruth]

I was zig-zag stitching some material and it attacked my finger.

[marichino_freedom]

that sounds aweful! i have yet to stitch my finger (but i better quit talking about it, otherwise.......)

can't say i ever use the zigzag stitch though...too lazy to change the dial

[vpiper]

That's right you always use it, but a class might help you to keep from being so lazy zig zag stitch helps keep things from fraying

[Skirty]

I always use a surger... I've had to many things that frayed anyway after zig-zagging them.

I have a really bad habit of not exactly 'finishing' stuff... a hem here, a waist there... can't remember the last time I actually bothered to put a zipper in :)

[vpiper]

I have never tried to put a zipper in We always just buy pants on clearance or at the Goodwill and seam rip them and make skirts, now adding of zipper needed

[AlanaH]

I was zig-zag stitching some material and it attacked my finger.

I remember that...didn't your sister do it a couple of times too? Seemed like you guys were always getting sewn to the machine.

[Babyruth]

No, she never did that. One time she did get the needle stuck in her fingernail. She got her finger in the way and it got stuck. But, those were the only 2 times.

[marichino_freedom]

ooh, that gives me the chills! ouch.

when i need to surge something, i go to my grandmas and use hers (those are awesome)

[Skirty]

we used to stick needles and pins under our skin on purpose. lol, it's not 'quite' as creepy as it sounds... well maybe it is.
We'de put the tips under the calloused parts of our hands so it didn't hurt, and show our mom. She would get all grossed out and for some twisted reason we thought it was great.
This was all about 10 - 15 years ago :)
(it was all my sisters idea though)

[marichino_freedom]

that i used to do to.....but the sewing thing.

[vpiper]

I remember doing that when I was little, you have so many layers of skin that if you don't poke it through all the way you don't draw blood. Fun thing though I couldn't bring myself to do it now.

[AlanaH]

I never did that. Maybe because my mom never let me anywhere near needles when I was too little to know better. :) But I'm not freaked out by needles that easily...maybe because I work with them so much?

[Babyruth]

You work with needles? How come I didn't know that?

Needles don't bother me. They poke me so much when I give blood that I'm used to it. Actually, I was one of those weird kids that liked to get shots when I was little. I liked the band-aids.

[marichino_freedom]

i know.....i liked shots too, i always watched.

still do, and i love watching my blood get drawn. its just so facinating

[AlanaH]

Needles don't bother me. They poke me so much when I give blood that I'm used to it. Actually, I was one of those weird kids that liked to get shots when I was little. I liked the band-aids.

Lol...I cross-stitch. That takes needles. And I get stabbed by them frequently too.

[Skirty]

Lol...I cross-stitch. That takes needles. And I get stabbed by them frequently too.
I really like to cross-stitch, but I don't have enough patience, they all end up about 3/4 finished and sitting in a drawer.
My sister has a couple really big ones she's done... they motivate me, just not quite enough :D

[marichino_freedom]

thats my mom....cross stiching fool! she has done some really cool stuff

[marichino_freedom]

i think i got a bug because i have this sudden urge to make a bunch of clothes.....tonite!

i'm going to take this jean skirt that i have with really high slits on both sides (a friend gave it to me, but i REALLY think i should fix it) and i'm going to fill the slits in with strips from a small dress my other friend gave me. the material on the dress is black, with blue pinstripes.....it should turn out cool.

then i need to finish a couple i started.

i want to get them done before the weekend so i have some "new" stuff to wear in chicago

[AlanaH]

I love to cross-stitch. It's an awesome stress reliever for me because I watch a concert DVD or something while I do it. So it's become a "thing" with me. And I've actually finished quite a few things too.

[marichino_freedom]

i've tried it, but i'm not patient enough

[azurity]

I used to cross-stitch alot. I have this really big one of the Lord's prayer. It's awesome. Well, I think it is!

I just had a 4-day weekend, and I was planning on getting another skirt made, and some alterations/mending as well. But it all went just way too fast! I don't think I have done any sewing for well over a year. It feels like I just never have the time anymore, but I think I just need to re-motivate myself.

As for the other sort of needles... ew. I hate them. I had to have a blood test a few weeks ago, and I had a bruise on my arm for 6 days thereafter! The pathologist said that I bruise before the needle even touches me. And then my veins die, and she has to take blood from the other arm. Thus, two bruises in one hit! I can't stand to look. It makes me to all queezy. And I have to go back for another test soon... *cringe.*

[Only One Life, Live 4 GOD]

UGGGG I HATE sewing Especially embordery Actully using the machine is fine though... I prefer to use the Jigsaw MAchine or a drill!!!!

I Like watching them take the blood out of my arm I watch them!!! lol!!!! I take after dad... I had my blood taken out by the Vampires TOO just yesterday in fact!!!!

[marichino_freedom]

the VAMPIRES???? please tell me you mean bats or something (even though they dont do that)....

[vpiper]

I think she might have donated blood.

[Only One Life, Live 4 GOD]

NOOOO both are wrong I had my blood taken coz the Doctor wants to find out whats wrong with me (he cant find out whats wrong with my brain he thinks its heredity lol) UMMMM coz I've been ill the last couple of weeks he wants to find out how to make me better!!!! Did i put its simple enough :tongue_sm

[Noe]

i had needles :peep:
i like cross stitching but haven't done so for a long time.

[vpiper]

sorry to hear that, I will be praying for you.

[Only One Life, Live 4 GOD]

Thanks!!!!!!

[marichino_freedom]

i finished one skirt the other day.....my denim one. it looks pretty cool..

[Only One Life, Live 4 GOD]

Ahhhhh whats the need for sewing if your a millionare... but take note were not

[marichino_freedom]

I think i still would....its fun!

[AlanaH]

I don't know why I can tolerate needles...and not cross-stitch ones either. It's just not a big deal for me. I'm like, "blood? Cool, no problem."

I think it's a love/hate thing. I know a few people who are enthralled with them and a few (like me and 2 coworkers) who are terrified.....I was thinking I should just try donating blood and see what I do....

I kind of enjoy giving blood, it only hurts for about 1/2 a second, it's really interesting.
My only problem is that I have uncooperative veins, their tiny and I have yet to have a nurse or doctor able to find one first try.
It's usually the third try, but I did have six one time. That's not exactly allowed, but I didn't know that after the second I was supposed to be given a new nurse.

I had a really bad nurse when I was little...she kept poking me in both arms, then finally called someone else in instead. They kept poking me in the weirdest areas until they finally found somewhere that worked. It was pretty bad...but yet...

Same here. I have very small veins that like to move around. And my blood clots if you don't trick it into thinking there is nothing going on.

Speaking of weird places, I had one nurse spend about 5 minutes looking for a vein in my arm, (without needles), finally she asked if she could just do it in my foot. I said sure.
PAINFULL!!!!!!!
It made my whole foot jump when she put it in and left a massive bruise.
Won't make that mistake again :)
