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?

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.

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.

hip_young_gunslinger | 15 Oct '12, 17:32 | X
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.

monoshono | 15 Oct '12, 17:39 | X
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

msmonipenni | 15 Oct '12, 17:40 | X

  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.

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.

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

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.

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.

  indecent on me, Levi's 511 keep me just the right side of the Jagger/Brand cock silhouette diagonal
  
  Alex-in-Ciderland @wisdom | 15 Oct '12, 18:53 | X
  - 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!

      golden_blue @1_234589 | 15 Oct '12, 22:08 | X
      - 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.
        
        1_234589 @golden_blue | 15 Oct '12, 23:28 | X
        
        £120 for a jumper is silly

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.

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.
