We all are. :)

I am starting to look at my wardrobe along your lines more and more every day. I want to be stylish, which doesn’t necessarily mean being trendy. There’s a big difference between those two and people tend to conflate the terms.

I just added it to my collection of quotes :-)

OMG, thank you! I consider myself the same, and I felt like the world had passed me by when I was reading that thread....

I *love* the contrast of this thread with the one just above it, which is full of posters who make me feel ancient and quite disturbed because i didn’t realize camisoles or velvet blazers or “going-out tops” were a particular thing “in the 2000s” other than just a decent and pretty easy thing to look good on most…

I don’t have time or energy to curate perfect outfits for every day, and a nice wash and wear polyester shirt can seriously make a business trip. I’m not here for this hate.

Thank you! That was not a bad look! There are WAY WORSE. I still occasionally rock a blazer, and if a cami looks good that is what I wear.

As an average-size lady I also wear this combo a lot. I thought that was still acceptable! I’m in Austin so a reasonable work outfit is jeans and a not-slobby top. I have several “bold print” blouses that I like a lot! Ugh.

“Up thread there are people bitching about the “awfulness” of embellished camisoles worn with velvet jackets, etc”  

I’m with you. I’m too big to get away with slouchy and blousy floral tops work well for me. I’m more of a dress gal though. Sick of people dictating what I wear.

“I am not trendy, but I’m stylish as fuck” Love this

Unsolicited advice from someone who survived a very necessary estrangement from her own mother: beware of anyone who attempts to convince you that you should be able to look past this. I wish someone had told me 20 years ago that “blood is not thicker than safety.” Thank you and good luck.

My guess is that he’s trash in bed.

Maybe she can roll you off the couch and have you join her.

You perfectly encapsulated wypipo in a short comment. Bravo.

Pretty sure if you can’t get through the day without being told how awesome you are, you’re just a fragile white dude. You’re more upset that your ethics are being exposed than you are that your skin putting everyone else at a major disadvantage. You feel like a man without a country? Well, think about how all us…

I’m also a heterosexual white male, but I don’t have this problem?

Then don’t read Deadspin. Stay off anything connected to Kinja. Or your social media sites, forget about those. Fuck it, stay off the internet. Don’t watch TV, don’t listen to the radio. Stay indoors, with noise cancelling headphones, in the bathroom, with the water running.

It’s called Silent Racism. You have no particularly negative feelings about people of a different race, or maybe you even like them, but when racist policies and politicians run/win, you don’t vote/and don’t speak out for fear of being alienated from your own race. “silence=consent” racism. Many Germans did this with…

I feel like we need to add the “passive racist” on here. That is, people who just stand there - or turn away - when obvious racist shit happens within their personal jurisdiction, thus helping to normalize it. I dunno what the correct phrase is, can someone come up with one? It’s “Passive Racist”, right?
