What's the one thing you wouldn't be caught dead in?

I'm not sure I'd there's one thing I actually hate to wear. Probably an over the top hat. Or a SnapBack.

I wouldn't like to be caught dead whilst not wearing knickers though. That would be embarrassing, even if I was dead.

Another vote for crocs

But also my personal pet hates:

Anything with corset style lacing that isn't a corset, particularly shirts

Anything black leather with white overstitching (shudder)

Shoes with the price label still on the bottom

Chipped varnish on toes

Non matching pants and bra

Appliqué anything

A tankini

Any clothing with logos or writing on them (I am not a billboard)

Oh, I could go on.

crocs
leggings
anything pink or mumsy
anything that has a 'name' on it. I'm not into advertising on my body

One of those vintage style dresses with the net petticoat

usualsuspect · 02/06/2013 17:25

Nude shoes

SnookyPooky · 02/06/2013 17:49

Crocs - cute on kids though
Ugg boots - just ugly
Those god awful sky high platform shoes - make think of porn stars and lap dancers

TJH1 · 02/06/2013 17:53

Those cardigans or jumpers with a fake shirt attached, another vote for uggs.

alltoomuchrightnow · 02/06/2013 17:53

tracksuit / jogging bottoms / crocs / tulip skirt (like them, just not on me) / anything white or cream - makes me look hideous / most pastels / chipped varnish / blusher

alltoomuchrightnow · 02/06/2013 17:54

anything from Per Una (apart from a lacy shrug thingy that goes with everything!)

TJH1 · 02/06/2013 17:54

Oh yes and the fifties style dresses-not at all flattering on me and my tree trunk legs!

LynetteScavo · 02/06/2013 17:56

Unless I was really cold.

Anything crocheted.

alltoomuchrightnow · 02/06/2013 17:57

Huge swirly patterns , anything mumsy and frumpy
Dresses with cut outs only cos I've gained so much grrr-

alltoomuchrightnow · 02/06/2013 17:58

Anything from Lipsy (nylon /flammable, worn by Towie cast, looks market stall )

BigBoobiedBertha · 02/06/2013 18:00

Probably lots of things but since I recently saw a photo of myself in 1980 wearing them it has to be dungarees. Never again.

In my defence I was only 13 but still.

HerBigChance · 02/06/2013 18:03
