Can we have a fashion thread?
What are you wearing today? I'm trying to find a good on line site as my cousin is getting married on the weekend and I have no outfit. No idea of what to wear. Suggestions welcome. The theme in purple, but I don't really wear purple.
What was your last purchase?
do fancy dress as a bottle of vimto
Ha-ha- actually a pretty good idea
no problem
black adidas trackies
blue tesco tshirt
stylin
and a blue woollen cape
Go to Vivian of Hollway
</thread>
today - shorts and jumper
worst post EVER
grey jeans
this jumper
http://www.hm.com/gb/product/01645?article=01645-A
can't afford to buy any clothing at the moment, could do with quite a few bits really.
H&M do the best jumpers
*best for the money
not BEST though, obvs.
Bought some work clothes for a business trip last week.
Got some nice cords, a new v-neck jumper and a nice blue blazer type thing, all from H&M. Hopefully will now not have to buy more clothes for many months.
Oh and I am wearing
an ankle length black pencil skirt, a striped tshirt, and a blue woollen cape.
La Croix, sweetie!
It's alright, isn't it? A bit tight, but it's alright, isn't it? You know, people will think, "Wow, it's a La Croix!", okay? I just can't find anything to go with it.
Today I wear:
Leopard print leggings
A long dark grey sleeveless top with a tiger face on it
A aztec black and white print crop top vest under the tiger shirt
Brown flat boots
Dark blue long baggy cardi
Hair in bun
Plum lipstick
HAWT
though plum lipstick sounds frightening. But then I seem to have a bit of an issue with lipstick in general so don't mind me.
wear a nice dress
you'll be fine
if the purple aspect is a problem, adopt the theme in a slightly different fashion.
purple ribbon in your hair, purple eye make up... i don't know
i'm wearing my 'special occasion' dress
because I realized i actually had no work clothes at my boyfriends....not even any to wash. So wearing my special dress with black tights and my heeled brogues. I feel pretty slim and nice in it but its kind of ruining it being at work. I also have tummy pain and swollen glands and a sore throat and I feel a bit sick so can't wait to get home and get in my PJs. I need a onesie and a job where I can wear one to work.
Fix
As mentioned in the Monday thread, I am apparently in 'geek-chic' mode today
Navy chord shirt, grey jeans, brown Timberlands. If anything I look like a 90s throwback who's learned to tuck their shirt in. I think they literally just said I looked geeky because I'm wearing my glasses for once.
This seems to have really irked me. I think it's because of those fucking 'Loserville' posters on the tube. That's basically what they're comparing me to. Might as well end it all now.
Jeans and a t-shirt (Black with a picture of some babes with guns riding wolves on it)
The jeans were my last purchase, I still resent them.
Guns as in weapons
or muscular arms?
Weapons
One of them has a flamethrower as well
right now im wearing
polka dot pyjama bottoms and a spiderman t-shirt (DAY OFF WORK YESS)
haven't bought any new clothes in a while due to having no money but there's some stuff i've got bookmarked to buy when i get paid, like this: http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Jumper-in-Enchanted-Print/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2429682&cid=2637&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=200&sort=-1&clr=Multi
although i wanted to get it in a bigger size but the biggest they have now is 10 :((
baggy jumpers really are the best for winter
with about 3 layers underneath. HOW AM I MEANT TO LAYER WITH THAT
also mits

Pictures
please.
Also, I'm gonna buy this coat
http://www.penfieldusa.com/uk/stapleton-tan-w12.html
But it's so expensive, I need everyone to reassure me that it's worth it. I mean, it's totally worth it, I just need validation because I am basically broke and it's a mental idea.
I've got that Penfield Stapleton in red, love it.
Currently wearing Clark's Desert Boots (taupe suede), faded blue Levi's 511 and a burgundy thermal hoody from Carhartt over a plain White GAP tee.
alright, GRAZIA
Anyone remember that women's mag entirely dedicated to shopping...
like 100%, no horoscopes, careers stuff or relationship bollocks. Just product and where to buy it, it was simply called Happy? Think it vanished when the recession hit.
Super warm, you can wear 2 layers beneath it but you'd never
really need to in this country! Flattering fit for a down jacket too, sizing is true to size.
Sold!
Now that it's jumper season I'm getting loads of use out of my
Guernsey by Guernsey Woollens. Traditional style with slightly raised neck, nice rich shade of bottle green as everyone tends to get navy or cream. Oiled wool so rain practically bounces off it.
Don't need anymore streetwear, but fancy a black 2 button suit from Reiss and this Prince of Wales Check coat from M&S, that should take care of most of my tax rebate.
You know when your name used to come up when you googled drowned in sound?
How many posts did you make over what period of time, EXACTLY? (not exactly)
Think that came to an end 2 years ago and I was probably on about
That's what I thought!
19000 posts at the time from around 3 and a half years posting.
Less active now. No idea how that happened, I had a direct link to my account from Google search, a DiS first I believe!
That's not that many
I'm just surprised no one else has managed to pull it off since. Cat race has done that number in a couple of months.
It was a strange time, at Latitude that year we camped near
some girls who lurked on DiS and recognised me from my profile photo. It was strangers greeting me with my username in front of my utterly bemused non-Internet friends which convinced me I needed to spend less time on here. May pack it in when I hit 25000 in a few weeks.
on about what?
this thread is making me sad that I can't afford any more clothes this month
:(
not that I need any new clothes
I don't really go anywhere other than work and the pub.
I can't really afford clothes, but luckily I don't like most things on the highstreet
have you ever been on modcloth.com? I wish the import taxes weren't so extortionate, I love that site.
Oh god
Sometimes I go there and put everything I want in my basket. It usually comes to thousands of dollars. Then I find out how much it costs just to get one dress imported. Then i go and cry.
Hey! I just had an idea, I could get it sent to my American friend's house!
Then they could ship it on. That'd work, right?
I've done that various times, it's always worked.
Got my friend in San Jose to ship me a snowboard once!
On StyleForum there are loads of Americans buying stuff on behalf of Brits and shipping it over and vice versa.
Saw this pic yesterday
then went out on my lunch break today and bought the jeans: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8wmmnW57V1qhrt1ro1_500.jpg
Someone at the Lee marketing department's earning their keep.
they're nice!
Really like Lee. Definitely better quality denim than Levi's, but ever so slightly
indecent on me, Levi's 511 keep me just the right side of the Jagger/Brand cock silhouette diagonal
I know what you're saying,
But prior to these my go-to pair of jeans have been some APC Petit Standards, which after their first wash became venerable nut-crushers, so the Lee's feel roomy in comparison!
great shoes as well!
How much? They're really nice.
I can never afford jeans, I live off £25 pairs of Levi's from the States.
I'm in need of new knitwear but can't seem to find much that I like
Was tempted by this one at the weekend:
http://www.atoo.co.uk/brand/NorseProjects/norse-projects-bjarni-crewneck-knit-red.html
£120!
Worth it cos it'll last...?
Mainly tempted as it's made of the softest material ever.
It's really nice
I don't think I've ever spent that much on anything that isn't my computer or my rent.
Yeah...
I don't buy clothes that regularly, so feel like I can justify spending a bit more when I do. My bank balance often doesn't agree.
£120 for a jumper is silly
You can pick up three ace jumpers for that much.
bought a really good coat today from next for £65
reckon it got me about 40% more looks from the opposite sex just wearing it down town.
Not really though. But it is good.
And some jeans that aren't really that tight except around the crotchal area. I hope no one tries to murder me whilst i'm wearing them, i literally wouldn't be able to run away from them.
:D
I need new shoes for work actually
I think I like these http://www.clarks.co.uk/p/20349082
I don't know how they'd hold up walking to and from work though, especially now it's getting cold. Some dainty, but sturdy ankle boots would be good actually. They'd need to look okay with a skirt though.
help me find a winter hat guys
joke answers accepted
also my head is pretty big so none of those weird small beanies that the weirdos wear
heisenberg

idk
i dunno if i will grow a beard (see beard thread)
also I don't think that is going to be warm
NEXT
sorry that was rude
i've bought it now
I wasn't being serious
It's a shame beanies have been so adopted by wankers. Unless you want one of those hats with the silly ear flaps there doesn't seem to be much alternative.
yeah I already have one of those
life is pain :(
from the ground up
today I wear

^today's best dressed DiSer.
it's a classic tri-tone combo
main block; navy
offset; olive/thistle green
detail; khaki/beige/tan
I like the fact you're as obsessed with clothes
as I am.
today I walked past someone wearing exactly the same hoody as me
along with very similar shade of chinos to mine. Was also a similar height. 90% sure it wasn't a mirror. We both spotted each other and gave a look of 'oh ffs....' and passed each other as swiftly as possible. AWKWARD

:D
amazing scenes
Fleet Week in San Francisco!
Are these a bit butch?
http://www.clarks.co.uk/p/20351365
I like them.
They'll look good with opaque black tights.
GUYS
link me to a nice winter coat, <£150
What sort? Traditional wool type? Single/double breasted? Colours?
Quite like this herringbone number from Zara...not sure about the collar though:

I'd probably just stay in this weekend and spend £50 extra to get this from M&S:

After extensive searches into this last month
I ended up buying this for a mere £90. It's ace
http://tinyurl.com/c9zf3cg
I don't wear it with the belt but it's seriously great and don't be put off by Topman label. Trust me, I was trying on £500 jackets and this was better (for me at least).
I am currently rocking the dress on the left
http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2171/2417056721_43c8f29ec2_z.jpg?zz=1
with a pair of light blue tights and blue Mary Janes.
that's a good look, man
outfit today
black hudson boots
FUCKING HELL DID STOP DOING THAT
slim fit faded blue jeans, probably from h and m or somewhere shit like that
gray american apparal t-shirt
turquoise slim fit jumper - not sure where it is from, second hand
gray cashmere fingerless gloves - no label
patterned green scarf - not sure where it is from, second hand

chris-budget buying secondhand?
what's happened to all that wealth?

also
might buy a cardigan today
exciting
gloves are gettinga bit holey
need to fix them up
Want some new Hudson boots, can't afford them
Swear they've hiked the prices by about 50% in two years.
Was looking at the Clarks website for winter boots last night though, they have some rubber soled brogue boots for around £80, seems pretty reasonable.
These ones

The laces look like a bit of a bitch, however.
