Most of mine seem to be footwear:
Crocs
Birkenstocks
Joules Wellibobs

Dungarees.

Coral is also my colour! I get more compliments when I wear coral than any other time. I’m very Mediterranean/Arabic looking though so that helps in being able to carry off bold colours. That being said my Scandinavian looking friends also look stunning in coral.

Pink, yellow, orange, green, purple. Bright colours don't suit me.
Any top that I can't wear a proper supportive bra with. I wish I could.
Raincoat, wellies. I have no desire to look like a toddler that's about to go jumping in puddles.
Dungarees - toddler at playgroup.
Cold shoulder anything. Just ugly.
Chiffon. I'm not 97.
Very patterned stuff, especially floral or butterflies. Reminds me of old lady curtains.
Jumpsuits or playsuit. I really can't be arsed with stripping off every time I need a wee.
Frills. Old lady curtains.
Printed t-shirts (bar the odd one bought at a gig that I'll wear as pyjamas).
Crocs.
Uggs.
Anything blingy, shiny, metallic.
Fake tan.
Big fake plastic nails.
Fake eyelashes.
Fake hair/extensions.

Anything 'age appropriate' according to some websites.
l'm 60 and l spend my days in leggings (only in the house!), jeggings and almost everything's black.
l wouldn't be seen dead in anything pastel or floral.
And since l had a hip replacement 3 years ago, anything with a heel over 3". l like my comfort these days.

katseyes7 · 16/04/2019 10:50

KatamariDamacy l'm with you on that one!

FloofyDoof YES! Cold shoulder anything.
My friend and l saw them in the shops when they first came out (again), looked at each other, and said "Oooh, no! Liz MacDonald....."

I would have previously said crocs but I bought a pair as a joke Christmas present for dh and I've been using them to nip to the garage. Blush

Birkenstocks. A Mumsnetter once said that Birkenstocks 'look like they smell.' They do!

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 16/04/2019 11:41

A gilet. Even the word makes me shudder.
