According to dh, my style is 6th form drama teacher. What’s yours?

[Kenworthington]

So I do have a penchant for some ‘ethnic’ style jewellery and a billowy frock. And a bit of beading/embroidery/sequins/faux fur. I think I pull it off but no matter what I wear this is what I look like. You could put me in a trouser suit and I’d still look like a art/drama teacher. What’s that all about? What’s your inescapable style?

Oh that’s an interesting question!


I think I look Parisian.

In my dreams!! More like scruffy woman trying to look au currant

Berlin depressive - im skinny and wear black, grey, minimalist silver jewellery and massive ugly boots

[DunedinGirl]

I suspect my style is 'Modern Mrs Bennet'

[Kenworthington]

Ooh glitter- I ASPIrE to be a Berlin depressive. I do have a liking. For big ugly boots and lots of black. So am partway there. Sadly am not skinny though

[Squirrels765]

Mines 6 year old girl, think pastel colour hoodies, trainers and a pink puffy coat, I’m in a rut

[Stitchintimesaves9]

A few years ago a colleague described me as having a Tory wife look - I was going through a Hobbs phase at the time, so I guess that was why

Currently I'm rocking a peri-menopausal Mum living in the country look (too much Seasalt and Joules), but aspire to be more elegant living in a city kind of chic. It's never gonna happen.

My best friend once described me as a primary school teacher who moonlights as a 1940s hooker.

It's a good job I love her because she's on the fucking money

[Scribblegirl]

not me, my style. I don't actually* do that

Student from the late twentieth century now depserately trying to be a 21st century grown up and not quite pulling it off
Following all the knowledgeable poster on S&B should be helping but I just keep slipping back to my student default and it's looking less and less acceptable as I advance into middle age.

This made me laugh out loud, unfortunately as it describes me perfectly!

Scandi chic wannabe - minimalist, block colours and oversized ugly knitwear

[CrepuscularCritter]

Somewhere between suburban rock chick and very mature student.

[hipsrose]

I got told I look like an art teacher due to the (rather large, I admit) new gemstone ring I recently purchased and am obsessed with

I think I've found my twin!

[MakChoon]

Great question! My style of dress is pretty similar to yours, OP but some friends recently described me as "if you were in one of those old portraits hanging on a castle wall, you'd be royal hotty"

Which made no sense to me but apparently means I have an old fashioned, regal and elegant air - which is basically the opposite to how I feel, Aspergers, dyspraxia and all 😀

[MakChoon]

• royal hot totty, ffs!

[QuiteLikeable]

Honestly, I've no idea, which has depressed me.

[UsernameInvalid66]

All over the place but always vaguely "different."

90s student. Still.
