Fashion for 2018 summer

barbie · June 04, 2018, 04:38:14 PM

I am ordering a bunch of clothes from various internet stores for this summer. Prices range from US$1 to US$30. Most of items are tops, as I already have too many skirts. My favorites are those for juniors.

Some items I have already ordered, waiting delivery.

What would be your favorites for this summer?

As I like slim-fit tops, I ordered more from Forever21, Korea.

1,100 KRW ~ 1 US$

Barbie: Great selections for summer and some for anytime too.
I would like one of each !!!!
I like them all... and you are correct, the slim-fit tops are my favorite also.
Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Danielle, Thanks, too!

Ordered items are arriving. They are cheap, but I like them.

I will wear another top tomorrow!

Barbie, I love your choices. You look gorgeous regardless of what you are wearing and I am jealous. As a 6' well aged not completely out gal—did mention the bulging middle too—your choices just would not work for me.

When I do get to dress appropriately I have a very light cotton maxi skirt and a form fitting maxi dress.

Of course being a remnant of the 1960's I have strong tendencies toward long skirts and long hair while being quite informal. My dream is to get to go to a more formal occasion and be able to wear and look good in an ao dai. Need to drop about 30 pounds for that outting though.

Still love your choices.

Yes. Thanks for nice suggestion. I also have a black maxi dress, but I feel it is a little bit heavy and incovenient to walk with. I purchased it for occasional formal meetings, but have never tried it. This summer I will try it.

Nowadays I run a half-course marathon every 3 days from my home to the downtown area. To wear bikini this summer, this is a must for me.

It is hard, but help maintain my health.

This is a small size, but today I could wear it without any problem. As it is unusually cool here, I have to wear spring/fall clothes for a while.

My wife commented that it matches well with me.

Your effort to maintain your health shows for sure. Unfortunately running is out for me at this point as I am bone on bone in both knees. I do ride dressage however and that helps some. In any event you look great.

I am also considering riding a mountain bike, which one of my friends eagerly recommends everyday. Running is a boring procedure, and I hope occasional biking in the mountains and forrests will give me some excitement. Yes. Running and biking use different parts of our muscles, lessening the chance of potential injury.

Barbie, I'm looking forward to seeing you in those cool strapless tops. Not everybody can pull off that look, but I'm sure you can. You must liven up the fashion scene around that staid little university town. I suspect you are a good influence on the citizenry.

At this time, it should be very humid and hot, but it is unusually cool here. But anyway I picked a strapless top delivered last week. My little daughter commented that yesterday she saw a young girl wearing the same strapless top in the beach, an old local man was staring at her, and she ran away. Anway, it gave a good excuse for me to wear the strapless top.

The summer monsoon just started here, and I tried the semi-transparent top, called 'see-through' here.

Yes. It warms me up a little bit.

Very nice.

Thanks!

I usually wear this dress in summer, as it is so much comfortable to wear even for sleepwear.

Actually, I have a pair of this dress. The pattern and color is slightly different. You may see the difference.

The semi-transparent knit while travelling.

I finally got the shoulderless dress and took a lot of photos today.

You're looking great in all those things. I just noticed the above shot again. I think it may be my favorite picture of you. You look so feminine.

Actually I don't like that photo so much, but some people seem to see it differently. Yes. I think I have some features that other people consider to be feminine, but I do not recognize.

Today it becomes warmer and I am wearing another shoulderless tee.

Cheers!

Yes. Beauty and photography are my hobby, which is always exciting.

Just ago, I wore manicure for this summer. It was not well done, but I am considering coating again tomorrow with a slightly different color.
