Today I am wearing... club

[elisedance]

I'm astonished that with so many dancers there is no discussion of clothes. I tried this before but I think it was too specific (just dance practice). So here is your outlet for your outlet designers, home made tutus, toe separators, guchi silk knickers, latin nothings, pasties, - in all anything your skin can sport (yes, tatoos and the nude look is fine too). But mostly, just what you happened to put on when the light was out and your SO was sleeping.....

I suppose we have to eep it wholesome - but please push the limit!! (see Fascination I did try, well sort of...).

Today I am wearing blood red slacks, a red-white striped fitted top and dark blue ear rings ....

We're working on it. We are up to chocolate shaped gerkins and gerkin shaped cucumbers - but the creme-de-la-creme, the bees knees, the real high five - the cucumber shaped chocolate may yet be a few years off.

Anyone know where those gods went off to? Probably searching for the mythical chocolate shaped cucumber...

Oh, and123, whatcha wearin today?? Anything goes except, that is, a cucumber outfit...

[elisedance]

>Fasc: btw...this goddess does not care for chocolate so you are out of luck

Jeepers, its like they say, don't use a gods name in vain, there it is... And trust my luck: a god that does not like cucumber!! Then what in holy mocha are we praying to? And why I may add...

[fascination]

I didn't say how I felt about cucumber...am afraid to...but chocolate...no...still, even for cheese and pizza and starches and wine...the thread is fine here

red t-shirt - same thing that I will dance in tonight.
flip-flops

darn! My work clothes seem to be my dance clothese....

[Peaches]

Jeans, black quasi-t-shirt. DH calls it my maternity shirt (and rightly so...stupid empire waist), which makes me want to kill him. But it's jersey material, so it's sooooooo soft and comfy. Like wearing pj's, which I don't own.

[quixotedlm]

black jeans.
black roundneck with an evil owl on it.

[NURDRMS]

BDUs (Battle Dress Uniform) and combat boots. Something I'd NEVER try to dance in.

[NielsenE]

combats boots aren't too bad... I've even done Jive in mine back in the day... talk about a real leg workout though....

[NURDRMS]

combats boots aren't too bad... I've even done Jive in mine back in the day... talk about a real leg workout though....

I'm impressed!!! Although I wasn't specifically talking about not dancing in combat boots. My BDUs can be pretty constricting and warm. I HAVE danced in my flight suit, though (and have done the 'dead bug' and 'carrier landings' and all that other officer club bar goofiness.)

sorry to hijack this thread....back to the topic!

[NielsenE]

continuing the hijack slightly :)... I think I danced at few times in BDU pants and the brown t-shirt when I got to the studio and realized I hadn't brought a change of clothes... at least sweating is "allowed" in BDUs unlike all other uniforms.... And at all the dinning outs I always wished the mess dress was properly tailored for dance, but alas the shoulder construction is even worse that an off the rack suit/tux jacket

[elisedance]

I HAVE danced in my flight suit.....

Now thats a must-have outfit for ballroom leaders!!

OMG, you should try dancing in the mess dress SKIRT!!! (For those of you who have no idea what this is, the mess dress is a military uniform that is worn to very formal functions. The skirt is a floor length narrow skirt with a slit on one side to the knee.) Whoever designed that piece of uniform should be placed before a firing squad!!!

[NielsenE]

hehe... need to get some dancers involved with the uniform design process

[NURDRMS]

Can you imagine what the uniform regulation pertaining to rhinestone placement would say?!?!? :grin:

you are clearly a clothes horse, elise... this is the second "what are you wearing" type thread you've started! :D

i wonder if we are collectively so fashion-spent from comps that we don't care to get into clothing concerns much in between... hence the endless black & white seen on practice floors...:rolleyes:

i am currently wearing a hideously mismatched blue footless dance tights with a v-neck lavender t-shirt... getting ready to dive back into sewing my dress & need to be ready to try the thing on at any given moment...

and i changed into that outfit from all-black pants & top... from my dance lesson. :D

Yes, the first one never took off (or should I say came into fashion?) and I was wondering why considering how appearance conscious this group is but maybe its as you say, people are spent. But I suspect not - that there is a lot of interesting dressing in the day to day wear - and the early responses seem to bear that out, whether its coordinated outfits or battle fatigues - it sure is interesting!

er, like I said, its all interesting... Or maybe amazing is closer.... Maybe we are going to have to have an associated photo gallery - if so I want your number in it. :cool::rolleyes:

[Peaches]

XL t-shirt...and nail polish and my diamond earrings.

[and123]

[Peaches]

goin' commando, Peaches? :pTechnically, yes, I suppose.

More like, though, going nekkid...except since it's nighttime and I'm doing stuff around the house (which requires lights) and we only have sheer curtains up, I've got to put on something to do a basic cover-up.

[fascination]

pink linen drawstring pants, DF tank top

[SlowDancer]

Still in my pj's, but after my shower I will be wearing a khaki pantsuit and black tank top, black strappy sandals.

[fascination]

now, blue nike sports bra...blue workout shorts...a shirt to follow eventually

[Peaches]

Another xl t-shirt...nail polish, earrings.

[fascination]

[fascination]

er...okay...I have nail polish on too...but nver wear jewlry other than my wedding ring unless I am going someplace fancy...hmmm...is this a new thread?

[elisedance]

white silk T, square neck line, black slacks, tanned knee highs, flat sandals. Oh, hair in a pony tail, 1 1/2 inch gold rod earrings and bracelet (fake of course) - finished off with a schizophrenia-society-support gold pin shaped like an iris.

[Peaches]

Wow. I'm always impressed by people who manage to accessorise on a daily basis. I figure, I managed to get my wedding sets on, and my watch, and I'm ahead of the game. Thank goodness I never have to screw with my earrings.

[fascination]

O hear ya...I count myself at the top of my game if I got the basic hygeine taken care of

[fascination]

at my age, the skin care regimen alone could ground me for quite some time

[Peaches]

You know, real tanning doesn't help that much.

(Like I should talk, laying out on the deck on weekends...but still.)

[fascination]

no it doesn't but do you really want to go there?.....(ie self destructive habits?)

[Peaches]

Nope! :-)

Well, its all about care-giving I think. When you have a child (and a job) there is no time for anything - not even personal hygene let alone primping so everything goes out of the window. However, when that child finally leaves home you get to indulge in self stuff simply because you became more efficient - not to mention the sea of time available when you escape from a, shall we say, destructive relationship. So, yes, I do spend some time on myself - and as you get older you really do need to, especially if you are going to keep up something so visual as competetive dance (which I am sure will resonate with many here).

Come to think of it, a thread for body and mind maintenance for the older competitor might not be a bad idea - except, of course, that few would admit it.....

I'm just more of the farm girl, throw something on that gets the job done, never managed to look put-together, never actually mindful of my body (oh the bruises/cuts/scrapes from the farm--my m.i.l.-to be thought I was self-injurious), type. Runs in the family...my mom is the same way.

[Peaches]

Gots to go shower and get ready.

Will be wearing short cut-offs, white Victoria's Secret athletic tee, my summer shoes. Not commando.

[LucyDiamond]

Black crop pants, light purple gauze tunic with 3/4 length sleeves and empire waist, and black Skechers.

Its definitely not all about primping - after all that usually only impresses wother women. From what you are posting - a T and diamond ear rings - and nothing helse, I know what you are after and I for one am jelous. I hope DH reads this thread - chances are you will certanly attaining that goal!

Wearing battle dress uniform and combat boots. Again. Every day. Sigh. At least my toenails are "Thrill of Brazil" red inside the boots.

I never take my earrings out.

The T and only T...well...I don't much like wearing clothes at all. But, having neighbors and all that, got to be covered. Hence, the T--as close as I can get to nekkid and not be indecent. (It's an old t-shirt, covered in paint splatters, actually.)

Looks like Peaches took one for the team. C'mon Peaches, you have to steel yourself. Can't let the blighters see us wilting.

Now as long as we have none of those white uniforms as in "an officer and a gentleman" I think I am OK. Wait a minute, hold on while I get a hankie...

[NielsenE]

okay, just when I said I don't have pjs...well, um dh and I were upstairs and well, I needed to change and all the clean laundry was downstairs so I found this gorgeous decade old pair of powder blue filmy transparent 2piece pjs with a low cut and a ruffle in my drawer....and they FIT...and I am wearing them...very pleased

[elisedance]

I don't have any - only nighties, of which I have plenty. The current one is acetate, pink with red poppy-like flowers very short with spagetti straps. But you can't see it cause I'm tucked up on my sofa sitting up with a duvet folded above and below me. Cat just left...

[Peaches]

I kinda miss having pj's. DH has requested a ban on all nightgowns in the house--reminds him of his mother, so I'm more than happy to comply. But I miss flannel pj's in winter. Seems kind of pointless, though, so I can never justify spending the $$ on them.

Today...black chinos, bright blue/teal t-shirt. Usual ring sets, watch...oh, and my work badges.

[fascination]

i dont like get caught in nighties...and the few pjs he has bought I just forget to wear, but these are gorgeous...I was just too heavy to wear them when he bought them

[samina]

...and they FIT...and I am wearing them...very pleased

those moments are so sweet... summoning up a celebratory parade for you, fasc.

[Peaches]

I like night gowns for lounging in winter. Can't stand them for sleeping. Well, can't stand anything for sleeping, now. But they're nice for tucking my legs under and reading or watching tv or something.

[samina]

i don't have any pjs or nightgowns either... <pout> <realizing i miss them... more the lounge factor than sleeping in them>

ah, but i've got a sewing machine and i know how to use it, now...:cool:

am gonna start with a robe, one exactly made to my specifications. i don't have one cuz i never see one that's the right material, the right length, the right sleeves...

[Peaches]

Oh...custom robe...that sounds awesome. I love the one I've got (and it was a gift from DH, besides), but I hate the full-length sleeves. And it's terry...nice in winter, not so nice in summer. Very jealous now. (Yes, I've looked into classes on how to sew...none fit my schedule. Gave up.)

I do love a good robe...they had magnificent ones at the spa at the grove park in but, call me cheap, I wasn't gonna spend over 100 bucks on a robe...lesson money ya knopw.....I do envy your sewing skills sam...i used to be pretty good at it...I wonder how much effort it would take for me to get back on top of that game....ponders....thank goodness pro's mother is a seamstress...works out nicely...in fact, today when I go to pick up one of my gowns I am taking a bunch of my dressier regular clothes to see if you can make some of them size 8 instead of size 16

black 3/4 length spandex danskin pants, lemon yellow spadex tank

[samina]

I do envy your sewing skills sam...i used to be pretty good at it...I wonder how much effort it would take for me to get back on top of that game....ponders....

if you used to be pretty good at it, you're already way ahead of me. i sewed a couple baby blankets & some rag dolls 20 years ago, but that's it. never sewed any clothing, not even for kids. taking on the task of sewing a showcase dress was just ridiculously foolhardy. it's hanging in my studio right now & have gone a few times to look at it to confirm that it really does indeed look like a dress & not a cave-man throw. am amazed each time i look at it.

i now can't wait to try my hand at practice wear of all sorts! the thought of that totally turns me on...
and am sure you could crank out such things with more finesse than i...

black slacks, black flats, ribbed black short sleved T; gold rod ear rings, chrome/gold bracelet, - and my 'top student' ballroom comp pin *

* its one of those pro/am 'dancesport series' pins awarded realistically not for best performance but for most money spent (enter 50 uncontested events and you win over somone who takes gold, gold star and scollarship). I know its just a dumb pin but its the only thing I have to sport my dancing interest at work - its finishished in gold and is actually passably nice!

[fascination]

A)YES, without dh I would be nekkid
B) best part about those pins is that they come with a discount for shoes

[elisedance]

black pants, black dance sneakers, light green short-sleeve top.

what's the style called when the bodice angles each way across the busom, secures just beneath, and is a regular T the rest of the way down? there must be a fashion name for that... utterly clueless.

[and123]

surplice wrap top?

[samina]

yes, that seems to be it, and123! thanks. seems that label covers a range of designs, from all the way wrap-arounds, to a deep design, to the more shallow sort that i prefer. i love when it hits just below the busom.

actually, that's how i designed my showcase dress, with no sleeves & a gather at the top of the shoulder strap. and tight along the upper torso.

yep. my fave thing to wear, next to true deep-V wrap-around lightweight knit sweaters. which are so hard to find i'm gonna have to make myself an expert on sewing them.

[Sabor]

a big clover leaf.. lol

[samina]

a big clover leaf..

oxymoron... those things are tiny!

[fascination]

jeans, red sports tank, wedgewood blue poncho like sweater w/ drawstring

[Sabor]

oxymoron... those things are tiny!

custom made :)

[Peaches]

F, how many times during the day do you change clothes?!?! I can only imagine the amount of laundry you end up with!

[fascination]

depends upon the number of times I work out and dance....the good news is it is all uh-- minimal-- so it really doesn't pile up too much

[SlowDancer]

Black stretchy pants, light blue v-neck tee, Diesel black and silver shoes.

[fascination]

black sports tank...jeans w/sequins

[SlowDancer]

Black and white pin-striped pantsuit, black pumps, pearl necklace and earrings.

[Peaches]

Jeans, black surplice top in some strange, non-wrinkling, stretchy material. (I'm sure that if i get too close to a heat source it'll do something horrible like melt to me.)

Usual rings, watch, earrings, badge.

[Sabor]

just a normal leaf .. dont feel like dressin up today

[samina]

jeans & a surplice top... but it's temporary. not dressed for work yet.

[elisedance]

white emboidered fitted blouse; dangly silver/red stone ear rings, red slacks (yeah, red purse too...) beige sandals...

[elisedance]

just a normal leaf .. dont feel like dressin up today

normal would be fig? or maybe we are a little shy and its a palm or :banana: (leaf that is...)

[NielsenE]

pinkish-magenta polo shirt, black trousers

[fascination]

exchange jeans for black sweaty spandex and then probably into something not soaking wet soon

[danceronice]

Since I'm going on an interview (with a modeling agency), grey pinstripe pencil skirt, black heels, blue v-neck top, gold and blue dangly earrings. (Wish I could get away with fishnets--they make my legs look much more sculpted than they really are!)

GOOD LUCK. Don't forget to do some rhumba walks to really blow them away....

Oh, sounds very atractive. My guess (not being a fashionista at all disclaimer) is its better off without the fishnets first interview - not being fools and used to all the tricks they might suspect your legs are worse than they actually are!

[elisedance]

pinkish-magenta polo shirt, black trousers

you have some great sounding shirts!

[samina]

stretchy flippy skirt in a black & white print... black fitted cap-sleeved top... black strappy sandals. puma zipper hoody whilst indoors...

thanks :) I love being colorful, what can I say :)

[fascination]

baggy navy sweats...baggy navy T...black nike anklets...thinking of sending pro into shock by wearing this to my lesson

[NURDRMS]

Okay, FINALLY a change from the battle dress uniform. Air Force fitness uniform instead (light grey T-shirt with big USAF logo in reflective silver on back, navy blue shorts with reflective silver stripes along the sides and AF logo on one leg, white socks, New Balance running shoes.) And of course, the requisite undies (although NOT white, like they're supposed to be.)

Am I a rebel or what?

[SlowDancer]

Black and white flippy skirt, black jacket, white shell, black peeptoe wedges.

[Peaches]

XL t-shirt, earrings.

[Twilight_Elena]

Old gym trousers and old t-shirt. Haven't left for work yet. Evening lessons today.

T_E

[samina]

short black pants... yegadz... could these possibly be gauchos? no, no, no... not wide enuf... thank goodness.

pink T -- not the boxy kind. (not ever...)

black strappies.

[Peaches]

Strappies??? I hope that isn't some new kind of bra...or worse. Sounds distinctly un-comfy.

[samina]

strappy sandals, silly. ;)

[Peaches]

Oh.

Isn't a sandal, by definition, "strappy?"

[samina]

nope. some can be quite... clod-hopper-y.

[fascination]

ancient striped men's button down shirt...3/4 length navy sweats

[samina]

ancient striped men's button down shirt...

one reason to miss having a husband...

[Peaches]

nope. some can be quite... clod-hopper-y.This must be another one of those "girl things" I just don't get.

[samina]

possibly. that and the whole birkenstock business. men's sandals aren't necessarily very strappy, either... pro wear some slip-ons all the time that don't qualify as such.

[Twilight_Elena]

This must be another one of those "girl things" I just don't get.

LOOOOOL!

[Peaches]

Yeah, but birks are birks...not sandals. At least in my world.

Hmmm...is it possible to have sandals that are both strappy and clodhoppery?

[fascination]

one reason to miss having a husband...
lol, I'll send you one

[samina]

a husband? thanks, fasc! whatta friend...

[fascination]

:nope::nope::nope:

[samina]

Yeah, but birks are birks...not sandals. At least in my world.

Hmmm...is it possible to have sandals that are both strappy and clodhoppery?

okay, remove birks from the equation. and most definitely yes to your question. am partial to strappies on the clodhoppery side, as my bone structure is not the most delicate... lol

[Twilight_Elena]

Re: the ancient shirt, it's adorable and endearing when you wear men's clothes (and I don't just mean any man). You should have seen me in a HUUUUGE sweater, I looked positively ridiculous (and a little cute, I admit). It was longer than some dresses I own. ;)

It was fine anyway. Now I just need to find a photographer who's not an hour's drive from me to do pictures for my card (and the woman I met with, co-owner of the agency, said definitely do some in dance clothes!)

I take i that means you are still in consideration? How does this work? Is this a modeling or rep agency?

[SlowDancer]

Chilly - in NY in July?? I suppose when the rest of the globe is warming, NY HAS to do something different...

cream silk bellow-knees skirt with red petals, crisp white T with little white not on, tights, sandals, silver dangly ear rings - a work, dance, and first-meeting outfit. The latter? My son visits with his new partner/fiancee today!

Beige slacks, lavender and white tunic, beige skechers.

[samina]

LOL... so sorry, etp! i mean, it's obvious from your photo... but when i read your post i mistakenly read "skirt" rather than shirt... and next to "dress"... brain received wrong impression.

oops!:rolleyes:

[etp777]

Don't worry, I just added the picture to help after your post , so no need to feel bad about it. :)

how very 50s... love that look.

[Peaches]

Blue cami, grey gauchos (yeah, I know...but they're just too comfy and convenient to pass up).

Usual watch, ring sets, earrings.

[samina]

re gauchos... don't they kinda bunch up in between your legs when you walk or move around a lot?

[fascination]

black slacks, black scoop, spa flip flops

[LucyDiamond]

What's wrong with gauchos? I like them.

[LucyDiamond]

Hey sam - I just noticed you changed your location to "jersey". Did you move to England? :uplaugh:

[Peaches]

What's wrong with gauchos? I like them.Just seem like they're pretty out of style now. Still like mine, though.

re gauchos... don't they kinda bunch up in between your legs when you walk or move around a lot?Never noticed that from walking, I gotta say. Wedgies, sure, particularly if leaning/bending over...but not 'tween-the-legs bunching.

[samina]

Hey sam - I just noticed you changed your location to "jersey". Did you move to England? :uplaugh:

actually, i think i was always in "jersey", wasn't i? just had more qualifiers (... on the river, by the old mill...) :)

[NURDRMS]

blue jeans, skinny red knit top, sandals with rhinestones!

[NielsenE]

that's a new uniform... are they finally trying out some real "urban camouflage" :)

[NURDRMS]

"urban camouflage"...I like that. No, today is family picnic day at the base and I was working the chow line. Earlier today I was in my PT gear, playing in the Eagles versus the Chiefs softball game (Colonels versus Chief Master Sergeants, for those of you who are confused.) Chiefs kicked our butts again, but not as badly as last year.

[NielsenE]

So what is the dance scene like in CSprings? I have to admit that not wanting to leave the Boston ballroom scene was a part of my reason for separating when my assignment to Peterson came through a few years ago

[NURDRMS]

There are four or five very active studios for ballroom, a handfull of dance organizations that hold formal, live-band kinds of ballroom dances once a month or so, a few hot salsa places, and, of course, C&W. Nothing like Boston, I'm sure, but enough to keep me relatively happy for a time.

[thespina13]

light linen capris and a red and pink striped babydoll top that makes me really look pregnant.

[Peaches]

Post baking & shower duds, for comfy loungin' and then dinner: short cutoffs, handkerchief shirt (as close to nekkid as possible, while still being decent).

Dancin' duds: jeans, black cami.

around the knee...I have about 5....and for some very odd reason they are the only things in which I ever recieve compliments from either pro or dh so there must be something to them....in fact there is one in particular that seems to really have the mojo for me with both of them...it is bizarre...particularly since neither are prone to compliments...:confused:

[SlowDancer]

[danceronice]

Yet Another Inverview...this time I wore my "I is serious teacher. This is serious outfit" clothes, ie a brown herringbone skirt, tan longsleeve cotton shirt, with my gold Navajo bear earrings and my carved mammoth ivory whale charm on its leather cord. Very earth tone. (The mammoth ivory comes from a First Nations art store in Stratford.) And my "I should know better but they look cute" two-inch brown Mary Jane heels.
