Fashion - do you break the rules?

[No.5]

Another rule breaker here. Especially on the gold & silver front!

Other the the blue & green rule, not sure I really know any others anyway. (That is one rule I never break!)

Lol @ Safari park. I used to work for a woman who was obsessed with animal print. She even put a leopard print carpet on the floor of the pub. People would come in and comment about how weird it was and I would point out my boss in her leopard print and they would get it.

I see women wearing so much **** that is apparently called *fashion* these days so if they are the fashionable ones, then i"m glad I'm not!

Trillian, do you mean ridiculous shorts with bum cheek hanging out of them by any chance?

One fashion rule I despise seeing broken is the "legs or bust, not both" when choosing an outfit. Not that I have the legs to show off anymore but when I did, a short skirt meant a high neck and I really dislike the look of a woman with a teeny skiny dress that barely covers her vagina and shows a huge amount of cleavage. Something like this http://lingerieholic.net/images/r-products/DL21371.jpg was what most of the women were wearing the last time I went to a club and they spend most of the time sorting their outfits so they weren't flashing. Legs or bust ladies, and the issue is totally avoided.

Agreed! And a short skirt has to have closed toe shoes. And vice versa.

Im pretty standard when it comes to fashion. I am at the age where I can't get away with what I used to wear and have only just realised this recently :/

Gasp! No diamonds during the day?? What is this 'rule' of which you speak?!

I hope I never break the 'mutton dressed up as lamb' rule. Ya know... that red dress - on a 60 year old woman. There are times I have to remind my mother of her age!

Yes, I break the rules, and I make it work (if I say so myself, although many people have complimented me on my clothes, so I must be doing something right, at least sometimes...)

I wear pink and red together. I wear blue and green together. I wear socks with sandals. I wear suits with sneakers.
As I get older, my style is getting more and more eccentric. I think I'm going to be one of those old ladies with bright orange hennaed hair who wears stripy socks and strange hats...

I hope so
Some days the best dressed people I see are the eccentric old ladies. They sometimes have style to die for.

Does anyone else follow The Sartorialist's blog. He often has older people on it and I love the way that they seem to have access to a whole group of little touches that we don't. Things that might have been in fashion for a while 30 years ago like a way of tying a scarf or handbags that just aren't around anymore.

I bet she's had those glasses for years

Gee, this could be a long post.

I mix gold and silver.
My shoes and handbag don't match.
I wear comfortable shoes to work (well I walk 4kms to get to and from work so why wouldn't I?).

And many more, I'm sure.

Wow! I'm learning things here!

Shoes and handbags should match???
No gold and silver together??

In general I try and look neat, but I'm often just happy to be comfortable. I know I should dress up more for work (not that I need to worry for a while now). Yeah, comfort is my style lol.
