Like Kylie Minogue, I'm illin'. I've gone for what I call "Grad Flash", designed to evoke memories of a first suit, as you tentatively step out of the dressing room, only to have your mother tug at your trousers and suggest that she take them up a bit. You look like a man, but you know that you're still a scared boy.

Deep red shirt (deep red colour - not deep like a well, or profound) from Austin Reed, I believe part of their 'Sportsman' collection from about 1968 or 9 or something. All I know is that the shirt is older than I am. I stole it from my parents' place a few years ago.
Red tie with green patterning - slightly frayed at the edges. Again, stolen from my parents' place. I don't erally like buying work clothes - I prefer to forage for them, like a tramp going through bin bags outside Oxfam at 7.00 on a Monday morning. The tie doesn't quite match the shirt, and the result is kind of eyefucking. It's like a magic eye picture and if you stare at it long enough it resolves into a picture of a defeated Londoner with an expanding gut and no future.
Black moleskin trousers - from M&S. I wear these every single working day, without exception. They are my work trousers. They're a bit grubby at the moment as it's the end of the week - a few splashes of food, and traces of semen crudding around the zipper area.
Black Wrangler boots - because I couldn't find my 'work shoes'.

Long black skirt. Red top. Black cardie. Black tights. Black "work shoes" Hair in plaits with red bands.
Not quite sure what look I'm going for here. The fashionistas from Handbag would no doubt wince.
PS Thorn: your "work shoes" are behind the lounge door. If you ever put the ironing board back in its home behind the lounge door, you might stumble across them.

I feel like a real grown up today. Actually, that's not true. I feel like a kid wearing her mother's shoes and someone is going to walk in and shout FRAUD!!! you're not really a grown up!
I have on a charcoal grey Country Casuals trouser suit with a black shirt [unbuttoned just one too low - important meeting this morning !] black brogue-ey type shoes and I even took the trouble to straighten my hair so I don't look like Crystaltips out of Crystaltips and Alistair.

Jeans - gap
shirt - sky blue check, a bit tooo tight, bought from charity shop for £3.00
Lightweight leather boots - a bit like desert boots but better becaues they were bough from a really expensive shop but were in the sale for £10.00 - total wick purchase
Pants - Jeff banks trunks
Socks - mismatched Black
Blazer - Black M&S 50% sale item, a bit of a worn look on this one, nice black and white lining.
Hair: growing but still at that love/hate stage
Face: Shaven for the first time this week.
Overall look: Think geek chic meets overgrown skater trash. Skinny white boy going to seed. Slightly self concious and awkward in either very casual company or smart suits. A no mans land of GAP fashion ideals.

Blue thick cotton M&S shirt (kind of like a Polo but without the horse, rider or cachet) Sand GAP "worker" cords Various pieces of underwear Clarks trendy trainer-type things
I have opted for the pinstripes today, as much as all this week. A bit like Thorn (except I never miss the bullseye with my cockjank) I've had them all week. There is a bit of a design flaw though. Around the crotch area. The chairs that I sit on ride the trousers up into the oblivion. If I stride more than one step whilst going upstairs they pinch each bollock like a sex starved sadist with each step once you've crossed over into the knacker zone. I like these trousers, but they don't like me.
The shirt is a standard M&S affair, made out of a handful of purple, mauve and white stripes. Ironic regarding that last line because all of the buttons on this shirt must be competing for the hardest button to button because there's a few missing through abuse and if I'm not careful to tuck the shirt in, you get an eyeful of grapevine.
Tie is purple and looks red if it's turned in the light. I imagine if you view it at the right angle, you could stare in a miriad of images from my past. Like the time I got so drunk I shit myself and burst into tears on a Jack Daniels bender.
Speaking of benders, my hair has had a hard days night. It's been working like a dog. And when I look at this do, I ashamed to tell you, that supercuts are rilly shite.
My hair is having a party like its 1965. I might go into the barbers and ask them to make one cut and drag my finger across my throat whilst sticking my tongue out to the side. That way, they won't fuck it up for the umpteenth time.

And a look of spite and hatred.
Waynster I'm not sure all that black would suit you. You are strawberry blonde/ginger are you not? I'm sure you are quite pale skinned and the contrast created may be a bit harsh. Have you tried experimenting with colours. Maybe a pastel shirt coupled with brown cordroys and casual white trainers perhaps?

Hey, that's what you were wearing the last time I saw you! Oh, and get your hair cut you scruffy git.

I'm not so sure, I Am Not. Like me, Waynster doesn't have any tits to speak of, and black is a very flattering colour for this situation. Also, cords won't work with those hips. It's a myth that cords can be worn with a classic 'L' shape figure. Far better to go for some moleskin trousers, maybe from Next or M&S. Then, you've got more versitility with the feet. Honestly, I am Not, we haven't all got boobs as big as yours!

I mean Christ Almighty *grabs BR's chest" look at this tee-shirt, hardly flattering on the figure is it?... and...wait a minute..*lifts top over BR's head* AAH HAA! just as I suspected!! you're hiding a fine cleavage under there arn't you love? eh eh?
