Spring Used Mix Snippets


Thursday April 21, 2011   

I got in the latest issue of Used Mix a bit ago and scanned in a bunch of inspo for myself. Figured I’d share them too since they’re already cropped and saved for loading onto my iPhone :P I mostly scanned in retro casual styles and not so much the other street looks because it just matches my closet better these days.

This issue was a.m.a.z.i.n.g. :deco4: I really wish this wasn’t just a quarterly magazine *cries* :drops: Lots of retro girly coordinates plus casual too. :ok: Just a lot of little inspiring looks and wants. Huge snap section. Wish they had a bit more hair & make this issue but there were plenty in the winter issue. God I really wish this was a monthly. I feel like this magazine combines Seda with Popsister with Vivi, etc, etc all in 1 :deco3:

    Wouuu so lovely outfit, I love ii the mag, I don t know this.
    I like the makeup! The clothes are so cute and lovely XD

    (sorry for my bad english)

  2. I really love the loose and flowy pieces this season~ I really wanted to get a pair of those bubble shorts with the dots… but the trend seems to have died already~ I swear I NEVER see girls wearing them around here… I also think they’d be hard to coord with my current wardrobe. And I LOVE the grey over-the-knee socks! One of my favorite looks :)

      Yea those shorts definitely hold their own when it comes to trying to style with a bunch of different outfits. Sorta the thing where you HAVE to buy certain shirts to match with it. I think bubble shorts are adorable but I’m already feeling my butt looks big so I don’t feel comfortable in them xDDD I go for the other pair, navy blue scallop edge shorts!

    Nnnnggg, I love those bubble shorts! However, I have this godforsaken hourglass figure, so they’re a no go for me{unless I want to make my ass and hips look bigger!}

    The ones with the scalloped edges are adorable, and they look like they taper at the waist, so I might have some hope of finding decent shorts this summer!

    • jenny says:

      Ditto, I don’t feel comfortable adding excess fabric to that area for ANY reason. But alas, they ARE super cute! I was saying the same thing in a response a few comments up xDDD Definitely the scallop edge shorts would be my choice.

    The third scan up from the bottom is just perfection in itself~ loving the flared-leg jeans with the sweet feminine top + the border shirt with the bandana print skirt. Really simple & lovely~!
    I’m not sure how I feel about the bubble shorts either though lol~ I think they look cute on the models but probably not so much irl XD

    • jenny says:

      YES. This was a page early on in the issue and when I saw it I was like, “OK this issue might be EXACTLY what I’ve been needing!!”

      LOL everyone seems to love the bubble shorts (myself included) but wouldn’t wear them! (again, myself included! LOL) My hips are like the biggest part of me. I wear tight tights with shorts just to feel secure in not looking jiggly!! LOL

  5. Sidney says:

    but maybe it’s so good BECAUSE it’s only pubished quarterly~~ quality over quantity :b

    that was me just being a jerk.

    I LOVE THESE CORDS but i do not think i could pull off such baggy/loose/wide-legged jeans. i wish i could, they look amaaaazing with heels~

    • jenny says:

      SHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUSH! Actually probably true. Like 1 in 3 Popsister issues are SUPER AWESOME while some months I’m just like “ugh why do I pay for this again???”

      I actually love the baggy jeans bc my ass looks FINE in them (like magically) and I used to wear them in high school xDDDDDDD BUT my issue is length!!! I’m so short it’s impossible to find a pair to fit me. I sorta gave up on trying to find a pair. If they’re still in next autumn I might hunt a super short pair down but summers coming = tights + shorts I’m good to go.

    i’ve never heard of this magazine before.. but such wonderful outfits! love the coordinates!!
    and i’m always for retro girly style ~ hehe

    can’t believe it’s quarterly though.. T_T

  7. Jenn says:

    Long time reader, first-time commenter here. I really like the outfits – very cute, casual, and wearable. The Peter Pan collars are adorable!

  8. Charlene says:

    The front cover is so pretty! I love it! Her make up is so nice…..ah *_* I also love the last eye tutorial! Thanks for the scans!

  9. OMG! I love all of those styles ; O ; retro is tooo cute, but I don’t think it would look good on me lolol I feel like if I lose a lot more weight, then I can pull it off xDDD;;

    I’ve never heard of this magazine before! I’m so behind on magazines =w=;; I only know like a handful of fashion magazines! I’m adding this to my list of ‘must-read’ magazines!

  10. Veronica says:

    omg, I am nuts about make-up how-to’s lately *teaaaach meeee* lol

  11. Ash says:

    Thanks for sharing! These coords have made me more excited for summer than anything else this far~ ♥

  12. kamille says:

    wowwww. love the first outfit

  13. kamille says:

    I love the wide leg jeans. I’m still trying to get used to my fp ones

  14. cin says:

    It’s cool how wide-leg jeans are in again! I remember how everyone was wearing it back in highschool as well as massive flared jeans! XD

  15. Jen says:

    Oh, I adore those bubble shorts. Makes me want to buy a pair but, as with other commenters, I don’t think they’d be very flattering. Alas!

    Used Mix has some super cute styles though! Think I’ll have to add this to my magazine browsing… :)

  16. Betty says:

  29. Mizuki says:

    Awwww, I love the 3rd, 4th, 7th and 8th outfit. *-*

  30. Courtney says:

    These are great! I really like the cover even just as a photography piece. Some of the themes are nice here~ I love that classy shorts are coming back…puffy or with ties… :)
    Actually, overall in the US I feel like we are getting more dressy stuff mixed in with casual (does that make sense)? Like the sole t-shirt and jean phase is passing…
    Also the make the socks + heels thing work! Yes please my feet hurt enough! ;D
