Aibu to ask what 3 things you would never ever wear (not necessarily together).
Mine are a bikini (too much like underwear in public and have wobbly cellulite)
High heels (i want to be able to walk when i m out not flouder around like a drunk ostrich)
And this horrible horrible hair colour i have accidentally dyed my hair (it was light brown fairish and is now freakishly white blonde).
Please distract me from crying about my hair horror until the shops open and i can sort it out!!

A racer back top with a normal strapped bra so that the straps are showing 😂 (racer back is fine with a strapless bra).
Leggings as no one looks good in them.
False eyelashes

Ah man. I bet I’m getting some very dodgy looks as I’m walking around. I love loads of these things: animal print, cold shoulder, trainers, skinny jeans, maxi dresses, mum-jeans, dungarees, birkenstocks...

What I wouldn’t wear is anything from joules- especially not teamed with any Radley handbag or pandora bracelet.

Also no crocs

SurfnTerfFantasticmissfoxy · 28/07/2019 18:08
  1. Birkenstock's
  2. Waterfall cardigan
  3. Pie crust collar blouse

Crocs, kitten heels, ugg boots

partialsoup · 28/07/2019 18:09

Go for the bikini, I'm nearly 50 and don't give a flip. Size 24, belly, fat a@#s, just let it all out. There will be far worse on the beach!!!

katseyes7 · 28/07/2019 18:11

Cold shoulder tops. When they first came back into fashion, my friend and l saw one in a shop, and both said "Liz McDonald!"
'Crazy' hair colours.
Big knickers.

puppy23 · 28/07/2019 18:12

Leather trousers, canada goose coats, or anything stripy.

Would happily live in a bikini 24/7 though, I'm at my most self confident in one

MonroeM · 28/07/2019 18:14

I love cold shoulder tops but had to look it up as didn't know their name.

3 out of many things I would never wear

open toed boots
pvc mini skirt to go shopping but indoors is another matter
crop tops (not confident enough) even though I am not overweight I have never and will probably never have a tight flat midriff.

If I can add one more, blue/green hair. I love all the other colours and have tried a few but not b/g

Handbag with a chain instead of a strap

Can I give you 3 shops I would not be seen dead in shopping for clothing for me? Well I'm going to anyway. LOL. They do relate. Then I'll do the 3 things I would never wear

London & Edinbursgh wool shop
Bon Marche
M & S

I am of a certain age as a 70s teen that fashion was very much separated by age. My late mom shopped in all of those for clothing and underwear. No way.

Having got those useless facts off my chest my 3 things I will never wear and didnt when I was younger either here goes:

False eyelashes
Fur
Jumpsuits as we called them now known as onesies or/and bodysuits (think you got to be tall to wear them well)

Just cos I feel like continuing on from this lovely lighthearted post here's 3 things now I wouldn't wear now I did when young

Perm (shudders at the memories)
Mini skirts
High heels (can't re health)

Ihatemyseleffordoingthis · 28/07/2019 18:33

Anything remotely casual
The monstrous blue shoes that are being advertised on here with all the embroidery and tat (like gudrun sjoden on glue)
Acrylic Nails
Anything from Next

cushioncovers · 28/07/2019 18:34

Fur
Bikini
Nude pumps

AntiStuff · 28/07/2019 18:40

Fugg boots
Fluffy sliders
Spanx
Waterfall cardie
Perspex heeled stripper shoes
Loafers
A thong
A wraparound dress
Bootcut jeans

Theflying19 · 28/07/2019 18:44

Stilettos
Hot pants.
Thong (as in pants, not footwear)

Fluffy sliders are slippers so perfectly fine for sitting down with a cuppa. Not that I own any...
Crocs are fab for nipping into the garden in.
Bodysuits and skipants I dislike but don't feel much emotion about.

Craftycorvid · 28/07/2019 18:44

‘Gudrun Sjoden on glue’ Grin

mbosnz · 28/07/2019 18:46

A bikini (tried several on in the weekend - never do that if you have gorgeous teenaged girls and you're in you late 40's) I'm considering a burkhini(sp)
Real fur
Anything red near my face (I resemble a tomato at the best of times)

easyone · 28/07/2019 18:48

Leggings
Anything in fashion that I know doesn't suit me including tiger print and open shoulder tops
