I am also seriously tempted Grin

Look at all the other lovely colours tubby!

Rootypig are you a fashionista? (genuine enquiry)

I can only think that people who actually could pull these off without looking really quite odd are fashion industry high fliers or actual catwalk models. To wear these as fashion and pull it off so it looks cool even in Sainsbury's is almost impossible. I think you would have to be Chrissie Hynde type if you weren't a model, to get away with it. (ie insouciant, but in a genuine, because I-really-don't-care kind of way not a "today I am channeling insouciant in my Nike Leopard Maxes. Tomorrow I will be channeling demure in my Topshop floral tea dress").

Maybe I am? I would never describe myself that way, but I am a bit mad and do live in east London Grin

More seriously, I suppose I think clothes are fun and people should wear what they like. I enjoy people pushing the envelope and don't think age or style 'rules' should be worried about too much.

Good question, not sure I've answered to my satisfaction! :)

Ps do not like floral tea dresses, no

OP are you a fashionista?

I love them OP - I like the Pheobe Philo suggestion, but tailoring can be tricky to wear daily if that's not your lifestyle. In the real world I'd probably go for slightly cropped skinny jeans and a fitted grey marl sweatshirt. Definitely the emphasis should be on keeping the rest of your outfit simple. I also think they'd look great with black leather skinnies.

Humuhumunukunukuapuaa · 25/08/2013 19:57

I LOVE them. I've got the same. I
Wear mine with a maxi skirt and t shirt

I am quite old and not much cool though

dirtyface · 25/08/2013 20:14

LOL hell no in no way am a fashionista

basically to sum up my "style" i am a 33 year old mum that still thinks i am 23 tbh

i probably look a twat in stuff i wear but i really don't care, if i like something, i wear it

today i wore them with my faux leather leggings and a grey baggy vest, and my red balenciaga giant city bag which probs totes clashed with the pink on the shoes Blush

AmberNectarine · 25/08/2013 20:30

That outfit sounds great, OP - can I have a lend of your bag?

Cloudkitten · 25/08/2013 21:40

Blimey! Grin

dirtyface · 26/08/2013 10:17

the baggy vests btw are a must because am 6 weeks pg and already look about 5 months pg thanks to attractive tummy bloating :/

Oh congrats! Let's hope the baby is absorbing some of this stylish carry on Grin

Dontletthemgetyoudown · 26/08/2013 13:27

Its the sports luxe lookisnt it?
Heavy weight jersey trousers maybe slght hareem feel to them. Or looser straight leg jeans with sweatshirts but more along the luxe line than a hoodie from jjb Wink

Dontletthemgetyoudown · 26/08/2013 13:30

How about these t shirts? www.next.co.uk/x523230s2

Skinheadmermaid · 26/08/2013 17:30

I think they're sick. Totally my style but way out my budget sadly. I would wear them with black skinny jeans and a burnout or graphic tee or a printed midi dress.

dirtyface · 26/08/2013 18:24

ooh i like all those links dontletthem thank you Flowers but i am not sure about them on me! esp the harem trousers as i am a short arse and think i would just look a weird shape :o

skinhead whats a burnout tee?

OP posts:
Skinheadmermaid · 27/08/2013 00:10

burnout tee
:)

Skinheadmermaid · 27/08/2013 00:12

I really want the grey leopard pair now...
Sad

dirtyface · 27/08/2013 09:56

ooh i LOOOOVE that t shirt skinhead

yeah the grey leopard pair are lovely as well

might be worth looking on ebay for a cheaper pair btw, and trying to nab some in an auction. i was watching a few pairs but tbh didnt have the patience to wait Blush
