Come on ladies, give me inspiration for my new wardrobe challenge based on the fact that I wear the same stuff over and over and yet have loads of clothes which never get worn (working methodically through my wardrobe selecting different item each day - if I can't make an outfit with it then bin it or ebay).

White slubby linen/cotton blend long sleeve tee (H&M)
Fitted checked shirt (Boden)
ancient denim mini (H&M)
black leggings (Top Shop)
black ballet pumps (Top Shop)

Sounds lovely MoonGirl Smile

I am also in Green.

Green leggings,

Brown tie up Boots,
Green long Floaty Tunic top by Next.
Grey long sleeveless Cardi.
No make up as I don't feel up to making the effort.

And I am cold.

I got some skinny Black cords from M and Co, I had wanted some for years.

Black knee-length swingy skirt (blouse tucked in)

grey knee length trackies from Republic

grey 3/4 length cotton top from H+M

faded black cotton thin hoody from River Island over the top

black/white woolly scarf and socks

knackered green Converse with flies crawling all over them (yes, really)

I am channeling the bag lady look today

AnyFucker · 14/02/2011 15:21

...especially when compared with the post above mine Hmm

TobyL...you are far too chic Smile

TobyLerone · 14/02/2011 15:26

Heh -- I spent Saturday in leggings, Uggs and a boyfriend cardi, which were covered in dough and flour by teatime.

Then yesterday I wore a different pair of leggings, Uggs and a waterfall cardi (hush!) which were covered in icing sugar and more flour by teatime.

AnyFucker · 14/02/2011 15:45

oh good, that has shatterd my illusion that you are far too chic Wink

Nodiving - love the sound of your blouse. Do you have a link?

AF - isn't that always the way? Whenever I look at my most grim then either I have to answer the door to someone or I am actually out and about and bump into somebody looking glossy mag gorgeous.

Hahaha! My bf said to me yesterday "I really love you in that cardigan". I laughed right in his face, and he said "no, really. I think that outfit looks great on you!"

I was very confused. He is super-stylish when it comes to his own clothes Hmm

AnyFucker · 14/02/2011 16:02

he just wants to borrow your waterfall cardigan Wink

TobyLerone · 14/02/2011 16:06

I would not be in the least surprised...

I'd let him Grin

AnyFucker · 14/02/2011 16:09

well, they do Muggs don't they ?

so don't be surprised in the Men's collections for A/W 2011 if there are waterfall cardi's coming down the catwalk...

TobyLerone · 14/02/2011 16:10

He will be first in the queue. Guaranteed.
