Oh dear. I am clad almost entirely in Gap - black cord skirt, 'winter white' top, green leather jacket. But as they were all heavily reduced in the sale I think you'll agree I'm 'sticking it to the man'.
The remaining garments: M&S pants and tights (shrunken, gusset rapidly sinks towards knees on exertion), Knickerbox bra (too small, as my barclays are heading towards DD proportions), Hudson shoes (black, multi-coloured spots).

For once, I'm totally in agreement with you, IAN. Honestly BR - what were you thinking when you got dressed this morning? Did you dress with the lights off? This really isn't acceptable, because do you know what I see when I look at you, BR? Do you know, IAN? I see a lovely pair of bright bosoms just bursting to be seen, and I think it's criminal to cover them up like that. People are going to look at you, BR, and think to themselves, 'now there goes a woman with a body image problem'. And, you know what, that's not really sexy, is it BR? Is it IAN? It's okay to have big boobs - I'd kill to go up just one cup size! I'm honestly shocked that you aren't swanning around with a wonderbra saying 'hello boys!'. I would be!

Vintage fitted military dress uniform jacket (black) with brass buttons (Green Howards), newly and rather spankily relined in Silk Cut purple.
Black felt peaked hat (Baker-boy-ish) in handbag for rain emergencies
Gunmetal eyeshadow for later running down the face on the treadmill.
In fashion terms, for the must always be an inspiration... I'm Marlene Dietrich from the waist up, Puss in Boots from the waist down and Sergeant Pepper crossed with the Little Drummer Boy when I've got my outdoor gear on.

Putting my coat on and heading to the dingily lit disabled loo with a cameraphone would so be a bad look, so that's a no, sorry.

Don't you just hate it when you write something retarded like 'heeheee' and then nobody posts on the thread after you do and you're left giggling like a spastic on Today's Active Topics.

Meh. Every day is a dress-down day where I am. The German army shirt is worn on rally days, complete with armband.
Right now:
- plain, grey boxers - battered black 501s - black Wasps RFC shirt, which I wear more or less every other day. It's more grey than black these days. - under the rugby shirt, white t-shirt from the Zeppelin Museum, Friedrichshafen. - Homer Simpson slippers
I need a new wardrobe, but frankly cannot be arsed. Most recent purchases are a Foreign Legion kepi and a t-shirt with a Lego Hitler on it. I kid you not.

Yeh sorry about that L. It was the only valid response to my totally crap thing about the toilets, I was going to say something but then I just realised how stupid what I just posted was and I was just standing there, silent, and just going all red, like, ya know. All embarrassed and shit. Posts: 4183

quote:Originally posted by I am not...: 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?
I was only blonde in those photographs due to the bottle - I have since returned to my natural brown. I do have whit trainers actually, and today have ventured with a claret with blue text sports shirt, and some white socks. Its as adventurous as I'll get matey.

You look like a man, but you know that you're still a scared boy.
Okay team, let's do it for bun. [/QB]

Lol. I missed that one. But I have vivid memories of my first suit (not to mention the terror of the price-tag) and feeling like I was wearing someone else's clothes.

Yesterday the downfall of my life began: I bought my first shirt and tie. I'm happy to report I didn't know how to tie the tie. I had to use an internet tutorial. Pathetic, I know, but I don't really mind being incompetent at corporate stuff. I don't know how to wear the shirt either. Do you tuck it into your belt? Do you pull it out a little bit so there's a slight overhang all round your waist? I just don't know. My legs look about three times the size of my upper body. My face looks about twelve. The whole corporate look feels faintly ridiculous. Is this normal? I don't know how I'm going to get any employers to take me seriously.

Sounds like you're going in the right direction.
Tuck the shirt into your trousers, then raise your arms above your head. When you lower your arms, the shirt should be hanging slightly over the stop of the trousers, but not too muchPosts: 12211

Godd only a fucking Scottish would need advice on how to wear normal clothes that a human being wears everyday of their lives.

Fionnula I can't guide you through wearing a tie as the only times that I've done it in adult life, it's been accompanied by too much makeup in an overcompensating sort of way.
However, for empathy, I reckon you should watch Claire rock a number about "pantyhose" in the current season of Six Feet Under. It's in Episode 57 "The Rainbow of Her Reasons".
