Fashion - do you break the rules?

[OceanPrincess]

OP - where do you get your gold tiaras from? Cos I can often only find silver tiaras when I go shopping.

Pfft, I do not concern myself with such trivialities - I have people to go shopping for me. I would imagine there is probably another person who makes them for me

Platinum! Love it. Consider it demanded.

Do not deny yourself all the fun of life, OP. I know it can be hard, but insist on some shopping time built into your week.

They bring the contents of the shops to me. I just pick and choose

Ahh what a life.

My style has not changed since I don't know when, I dress plainly but I always dress neatly. I live in jeans most of the year. I do have some clothes, mainly a dress and two tops that I actually wear backwards because I think they look better that way. I will not wear trackies or sneakers unless I am exercising.

I hate seeing the tights as pants thing and I shake my head when I see people who choose to follow fashion instead of dressing for their body. Every clothing shop needs a sign right next to its store policy sign that tells people 'Just because it is in now does not make it right for you' or along those lines.

Nah, making "mistakes" is all part of the joy of discovering your own style. And if I really, really wanted to wear a yellow boob tube (can't imagine why I would, but this is hypothetical), why should there be some sort of fashion police to tell me no, not my colour, doesn't suit my body shape, you're not allowed.

I think dressing "plainly" isn't always a good thing. Don't be afraid to stand out sometimes. Unless you really thought it was worth leaving the house looking like *that* - seriously, cover up your underwear. Which includes tights/leggings. And that includes you, Batman. I don't want to see your pants. Old, grey pants held up with a yellow "utility belt" - didn't Alfred tell you "no, just no"? And you wonder why you're rich and single.

I probably break every rule there is. I have mixed tastes. I have a hidden goth scratching to get out, yet I love the look of retro 40/50's & often wear my hair in a bandana fashioned to that era (which at the moment probably looks heaps weird because I shaved my head lol) then I have my cheap kmart clothes mixed with my mum bum clothes & then I have a thing for cute little sun dresses which I never wear. Im all over teh shop lol

Oh my gosh, are yellow boob tubes back in fashion, I can get mine out now, with my big belly I will look mighty fine . I am all for experimenting with clothing and trying to find your style but I am more along the lines of these really short shorts that show cheek and so on. I pointed out a female to DH the other day that had a pair of denim shorts and a loose singlet top on that showed some waist, she had a fantastic body, very sporty and looked great. She siuted that style so nothing wrong with the clothes it was just the right person wearing it.

Kazzo, so are you saying that only fat people need style police to stop them showing flesh? Sporty people only for shorts and little tops?

I've worn hotpants before. I also have teeny-tiny microminiskirts in the wardrobe, although rarely wear them out the house. Stupid having a profession and needing to dress at all times. But pre-profession I've worn microminis out: is that banned? Or OK because I look great in them? Cos they don't exactly hide flesh.
