I was born without much of a fashion sense. Or the ability to really find clothes that fit right. I drool when I watch ‘What not to wear’ because I’d LOVE for someone to take me aside and dress me ‘right.’
So I was doing a little googlin’ the other day and I found a most wondrous website: myshape.com. I punch in all my measurements (and I mean ALL – they have you enter in about 100 different measurements), and then they provide me with a selection of clothes that will FIT me. And be flattering on my body type.
That’s right. I found a WEBSITE to tell me what clothes to wear if I want to be fashionable. How awesome is that? I don’t even have to talk to anybody!
And they also tell me what SIZE to get – which is awesome when you’re talking about buying clothes off the net. Sometimes I’m an extra small – and sometimes I’m a medium. It just depends on the mood of the designer.
The only downside is the cost of the clothes on the site. I’ve never bought a pair of $150 jeans; I’ve never even considered it. I don’t own any shirts that cost over $60. They put together suggested outfits – which look fabulous – but I’ve never gone out in a $500 outfit before. Not even my wedding dress … Which I suppose is greatly hindering my ability to be fashionable.
Maybe one of these days I’ll take the plunge into fashionable. It’s great to know I can accomplish it with just a click of my mouse.
One reply on “don’t even try to out-nerd me …”
I’m with you on the cost thing. I found out how much my girlfriend pays for suits for work and fainted. When she slapped me awake and told me that was the sale price, I fainted again. Nice clothing is ‘spensive!
