Poll: Colorful Underwear and Embarrassing Stories

By -
Two recent incidents involving red panties have made me rethink colorful underwear.* One day I put on my skinny jeans and discovered they were skinnier than I'd remembered. Not having time to change, I went to work. I thought my shirt would cover the problem, but it failed me. Every time I sat down or bent over, blazing red would peak out from my black clothes giving me the effect of a baboon butt. One a different day, I also happened to be wearing red panties, but this time with a skirt and tights. There was a tear in the tights, which I noticed when I was putting my shoes on in an rather unladylike manner. Good thing I don't sit with my legs open in a skirt because it was a wee bit suggestive.

I'm thinking I'll stick with black and beige undies from here on out. They don't draw attention to areas best ignored.

I mostly own beige undies. They're the most versatile since they don't show throw light pants and they aren't terribly noticeable if my bottoms ride down.

But I love fun colors. I'm just really careful about when I wear them. They stay hidden under thick leggings, black sweater dresses and higher-rise denim.

I love my colourful and printed undies. I refuse to buy white or beige. But if i'm dressing for a special occasion i will try to match my undies to the rest of my outfit even if there is no way anyone is going to see them.

I match my bras to my clothing. It's sort of the opposite of undies. I feel like a beige strap screams "Look at my bra!" but a strap that matches or compliments my outfit fades into the background.

I have all the colors of underpants plus black and white, because I want to get some clean underwear out of every load of laundry I do.

I have to say: I always think of the word "panties" as a term only men use. I don't like to infantilize my undergarments.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
