wordweaverlynn's question about people's personal style rules:
1a: If it's not comfy, I don't wear it
1b: If it's ugly or makes me feel dumpy, it's not comfy. Hence why I don't own a pair of sweatpants or jeans.
1c: If it's pretty enough (or for a short enough period of time), comfy's boundaries get stretchy and sometimes barely visible (corset-like garments are genuinely comfy for me because of how I'm shaped, but I will wear, for instance, stockings and garters if it's only for a few hours, because the small amount of discomfort is outweighed by how hot they make me feel).
2: Until they start making fuck-me pumps that really fit me, I wear big old Birkenstocks. Not pretty, but neither is a hobbling Serene.
3: No spring colors. No blue. No pastels.
4: Either short skirts or long skirts -- nothing right at the knee, or I look doofy.
5: Pants are out unless they're really girly -- velvet palazzo pants, or women's pajama bottoms, stuff like that.
6: See-through is good. One see-through thing layered over another see-through thing gives plausible deniabilty and can be worn in public.
7: I dislike wearing socks, but when they're necessary (they never were where I came from, but this place is colder), I insist they be cute and/or pretty and/or silly -- rainbow toe socks, or a particular pair that look like they're made from dead gay Muppets will do.
What are your personal style rules?
