Thanks Trills

[hazchem]

Ok so totally random but trills you recommended Dressipi to someone on another thread. So i checked it out and it's fab. Very cool indeed.
Also the capsule wardrobe it recommended is all stuff I like(and own and wear) so I must be wearing clothes at suit me so I now feel very stylish even though I'm in sweats now
Cheers

I was going to say thanks to Trills also in the other thread, but I'll say it here instead. I've just spent the past half hour on dressipi and it really is amazing! The capsule wardrobe is great- some things I've already got but it's quite inspiring and has motivated me to feel fashionable again.

I'm just looking at it too. Is it free?

It's mentioning a 'promotional code' and having an account. Am I getting into something here which is going to cost lots or is it completely free (Sorry to be dense)

I've just done it. It's rather good! Though slightly terrifyingly have to enter my measurements, which has stiffened my resolve to lose a stone.

It also says I shouldn't wear skinny jeans, which I know to be true but was deluding myself looked OK...

Totally free.

Apparently somewhere I can give you a signup link that gets me points, but I have no clue what the points are for.

Normal link

Link with my referral thingy

Use whichever you like :)

I love that they don't tell everyone to wear skinny jeans!

bloody awful

they want so much info, how the hell do i know what brand of trousers i have?

You look in the waistband and it tells you.

It's true - I checked - they don't have Sainsbos listed.

Poor Hully

I just wish you'd told me, at least, about this site about say, 15 years ago. So many fashion disasters could have been avoided ...

oh yes, you make it sound so easy.

and I don't know my measurements (other than large) and I don't have a tape measure.

Or a dress. Or brand jeans.

humph

I shall tell them that they need to list supermarket brands of clothing too.

I logged on. but it requires information I don'thave to hand. Plus I think my version of Microsoft is so old it's not working properly...

... needless to say, I'll be logging on at home!

Imagine the MN version of this site

Capsule Wardrobe

Skinny Jeans
Converse
Layered vests
Tunics
Leggings

ARE YOU CRAZY?! Converse, at your age?
Of COURSE converse at my age, how dare you, blah blah blah

They don't recommend shoes, oddly enough. I guess there's not much way to say which shoes "suit" you.

What's a "layered vest"?

You always have people coming on here and talking about wearing layered vests and t shirts.

Read - wearing lots of shirts at once in case a child throws up on you

I guess you have to whip it off quick so it doesn't soak through...

Your tall womanly silhouette has an enviably neat waist, not to mention shapely long legs and ample décolletage. Flaunt these assets to balance them out with your wider hip proportions. Wear clothes that add flattering volume up top and fuller skirts that skim over hips so they magically disappear. The result? A curvier Marilyn Monroe shape.
Ooooh, get me. I have a tall womanly silhouette.

I am actually a bit tall with a beer gut.
I did make up a couple of the measurements but will be back to check it all out.

"Slim and petite with long legs that?ll go on for miles if you wear a nude shoe! That?s you. Clothes will create that sought after curvy silhouette. Soften the look of your broad shoulders by placing your waspy waist and lovely legs in the limelight. Avoid styles that add bulk up top. By creating the illusion of volume at your hips, you will balance out your upper and lower silhouette magically."

disclaimer, my shoulders never used to be broad. my deformity its down to my ribs. but yes, very accurate.

Oooh this sounds very interesting! Will check it out when I get home, doubt i'd get very far on the iPhone!

Haha, yeah the "description of you" is always a bit flowery!

Consider yourself the perfect blank fashion canvas, what with your straight up and down slim figure, not to mention great legs. Clothes are like magic markers - use them to conjure up the waist you thought you never had, and create sexy curves. A nude heel will elongate you legs. And voilà: beautifully balanced Scarlett Johansson proportions.

They know nothing about my legs, other than that they hold me up, so I don't really know why they think they are "great".

although it describes my style as glamorous. where it got that from I'll never know...

yep, my legs might be long (and they are for such a shortarse) but they aint great. a little knock-kneed, truth be told!

Oh this is fabulous!

Someone was in a fabulous mood when they created you. Your willowy, slim, silhouette has perfectly balanced curves in all the right places, and a desirable small waist to highlight these. Not to mention legs that go on forever. Dressing is simply a matter of ?if you?ve got what every other women wants, flaunt it' - stylishly. We?ll show you how.
Ha ha ha !!!!
I don't think even my PFB Mother would call me willowy. I like it though.

I have been recommended a metallic Herve Leger bandage dress.

I will wear it to DS1's football practice on Sunday.
