Fashion for spring

[barbie]

Temperature here suddenly dropped below the freezing point, but I feel spring is coming. So, some exercises for spring fashion.

I came to my office with a grey skirt I purchased a few years ago. I am not quite sure whether it matches with my age, but I love it.

I think with skirts it's more about the legs than age-- and your legs are great for short skirts. I like the high waist of that skirt, too. I have to wear long waisted things to visually shorten my torso.

[Shantel]

I've often commented about the length of dresses and age appropriateness, but Barbie where you are concerned I'll have to eat my words. Like Lyric has said, you have lovely legs and dress with the finest sense of fashion and if anything, the other people in and around your office will most likely think so too. As usual you are absolutely a class act! 

[barbie]

Thanks! Lyric and Shan.

When I looked my legs through the mirror, they were thinner than those looked in the photo. I guess the 2-dimensional photo makes so. I love my skinny legs. The following photo probably makes my legs look thinner.



Today I tried my old top for juniors, which I have rarely worn.





I am not quite sure the top will match with the skirt or the short pants.
It is still cold outside, but I may go out with bare legs with the long boots this weekend.
I may wear nude stockings if it is too cold. Today evening I purchased a bunch of leggings.

As it is now winter vacation, taking self-photos at my office became my hobby this week.
I sometimes become enthralled by my self-image. I am an incurable Narcissist.
Anyway fashion and photography is fun to enjoy.

Some of us are more narcissistic than others although we all are to some extent. You are a darling woman and have a marvelous tall, slender frame to model clothes on, I am quite taken with your attractive looks. I won't tell your wife if you don't tell mine though! 

[Lyric]

Today evening I purchased a bunch of leggings.

I have a drawer full of leggings and wear them almost every day from October to May. When I wear jeans, they're always underneath.

I hope you don't ever stop. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has come to look forward to your photo updates.

I did not know that, but thanks Shan and Lyric for compliments.
Yesterday I was a little bit busy to host two guests from the mainland.
I woke up early and try my old 2.5-inch red heels which are very comfortable to wear.
As it is rainy and warm this week, I tried thigh-high nude stockings. I am not quite sure whether it is appropriate to expose the band areas of the stockings, but they always slip down.







Probably I have better wear pantyhose stockings.

Well, on you I think they work. I'm not sure about sheer nude stockings, but thigh high opaque socks with the tops showing are being seen a fair bit here in the states these days.

[barbie]

Yes. I have seen a few young girls here exposing the frills of their thigh-high stockings, but my impression was that they look untidy.
Today morning I had breakfast with my friend at a restaurant. I was busy raising the stockings, as it was crowded. Next time, just pantyhose stockings. But exposing the frills in public can be thrilling.

Some of the tops on the opaque stockings are very attractive and are visually stimulating to a man's eyes.

Yes. I do not know the reason, but it is stimulating to my eyes, too.
Today's problem was that the female workers and some guests at the restaurant know that I am a man, as I frequently stop there to have lunch. I do not care about it, but I was just a little bit shy and tried to hide it.

And just ago, I ordered the following one:



It will be delivered from the U.S. to my home, taking about 2 weeks.
As 4 or 5 inch heels are difficult to walk on, I chose lower ones.
* Heel Height: 2 1⁄4 in
* Weight: 11 oz
* Circumference: 9 in
* Shaft: 5 1⁄2 in

Yes we both find it visually stimulating and I won't deny that it has everything to do with our natal gender and is quite normal. I don't think you need to be shy and hide anything, you are quite lovely looking and a stunningly fashionable dresser, I would not doubt that you look better than most if not all of the women there.

Ventilation is the most important measure in preventing recurring fungal infection on my hips, and it recurs again as I have to wear tight skinny jeans frequently. Considering both fashion and hygiene, I ordered a bunch of thigh-high socks today. The long socks may match well with skirts or short pants, while warming my legs. Also they will be useful for outdoor exercise.



They are relatively cheap here. Just ca. US$ 4 per pair. I ordered 6 pairs.

Cute and very practical for this time of year! I was looking at that cute white dress with red bow and trim in the other photo thread just adorable Barbie, and though it's not age appropriate you pull it off just beautifully!

[barbie]

I am now wearing the following over-knee socks:



They are too short and easy to slide down. The length is about 60 cm (24 inch).

The length of the long socks I ordered today is 80 cm (31.5 inch). Hopefully the new long socks will warm me more and tighten my thigh enough to hold.

Barbie,
     Those sox appear to have stirrups and highlight those attractive shoes. Has your hair grown out that fast already, or are you wearing extensions? Wish I had such nice hair naturally rather than my grizzled grey mane.

[barbie]

Shan,

Oh. That is a photo taken in 2008 when my hair was very long.

Nowadays my hair looks like:

I tried casuals for spring. Not fashionable but comfort.



I purchased the short top about 8 years ago in the U.S. I am wondering why the top is so short.
Is there any purpose of it? It should be worn with high-rise skirts?

I don't know hon, but that outfit will definitely cause a riot and get you in trouble with the fashion police!
