    Not to be rude, but what is the point in posting these pics?

    Are you hoping to start a trend? Looking for people to compliment/slag you?

    It may be comfortable, but I'm really sure that I'd be more comfortable in my jocks and dressing gown - however I don't post pics of myself and said ensemble (yet).

    It's not, honestly.

    Though you seem to be giving the layered look a shot, I don't think you're getting a grasp of it. No offence intended but as with the last one you posted, this outfit looks a mess. The top doesn't go with the dress, the dress doesn't go with the jeans and the shoes don't look right whatsoever.

    Agreed, sorry.

    If you're interested in posting pictures of yourself and getting feedback, why dont you find an image board forum and post there?

    Hmnnn, doesn't look great I'm afraid. I'd most likely ignore someone walking down the street like that.

    Because this is the fashion/appearance forum and caters for that?

    I agree, it doesn't look good. Also just because someone somewhere declares an "in" look for the seaon or those girls on Off The Rails tell you its hot doesn't mean you have to be a sheep and follow it. I really think you should dress to suit your body shape and age. Some of the layered looks can look good, this one doesn't.

    I don't believe that pic is actually of the OP. Look at the copyright info to the left.

    Wow... didn't even see that. Good point.
    Ok... (to thread starter): so why are you posting pics that aren't of yourself for critique?

    Probably someone who has a fatwa against the whole 'dress over pants' job.

    Could be nice but the dress just looks like its going to fall down. Maybe if it had straps?

    It really couldn't, even with straps it'd still be a mess.

    Most likely a troll, going by the copyright on the left hand side of the picture, OP can explain herself otherwise I say ban 'em.

    This thread seems to have been sufficiently de-railed so I'm going to ask everyone a question:

    Does anyone here remember that karina62 character? The one who posted pictures of tights all the time, there could have been two or three threads, all dealing with tights. It goes back a year maybe.

    No offence to the OP but I just can't understand the layering thing at all. Its so rare that it's carried off without looking sloppy and ramshackle. A lot of the time it just makes even slim women look shapeless and bulky.

    And what happened to this character, if I may ask?

    Banned in the end I believe. The whole thing was very similar to what we have now.

    I think her posting pics is fine.

    The copyright thing could be from her camera or a date or something written out.

    The layering thing works sometimes but it takes planning/.

    The particular photo though is not that good, the clothes i mean. It just doesnt work, more like a blanket wrapped around someone whos cold. Doesn't look like anything stylish.

    It doesn't look good, it looks like the person was trying too hard to make a layered outfit and failed very badly.

    I have to agree with the majority - it doesn't work.

    I see from your profile (should it be real) that you want to be a fashion designer.
    Perhaps you should do some research into different looks. I'm no expert but it's common knowledge that fashion designers tend to set the trends, as opposed to trying to perfect last seasons.

    Get a look you're happy with.
