Wednesday's "What Are You Wearing Today?" Thread..with a twist

27 replies

Ujjayi · 22/01/2014 10:14

... And what would you like to be wearing today, & why?

Magenta tweed shorts (H&M)
Magenta long sleeve Heat Tech top (Uniqlo)
Plum slouchy roll neck (Vanessa Bruno Athé)
HeatGen thermal opaques (M&S) - deliciously toasty warm
black biker boots (Faith)
Turquoise shattered-glass pendant & "old gold" long necklace

Not sure about the biker boots but I am carrying a little extra weight on my legs and they seem to balance them out.

I would love to be wearing this instead. Am sat here designing summer clothing and feeling like this would give me more inspiration. Wearing a chunky polo neck and faffing around with floaty silks just doesn't work!

Oh dear that dress is beyond awful.

FuckyNell · 22/01/2014 10:25

Nice colour though Grin

ProfondoRosso · 22/01/2014 10:28

I'd wear that Peter Jensen dress if I could get away with it! It's beautiful. But my big boobs say no. Wink

If I could be wearing anything, it would be this dress accessorised with these shoes. Wouldn't get away with it on the number 3 bus in Glasgow, though.

I'm actually wearing a navy Cos dress and brown leather knee high boots from Jones, with gold zip up the back.

Hazelbrowneyes · 22/01/2014 10:37

If I could be wearing anything right now, it'd be my pyjamas.

Instead I'm wearing
black jumper dress with blouse insert (next)
black suit jacket (tesco)
black shoes (new look)
black tights
statement necklace (no idea)
fingerless gloves (tesco) - my office is freezing.

claudeekishi · 22/01/2014 10:40

I'm wearing a skinny fit longline navy cardigan (Primark) over a grey marl V-neck T-shirt (Primark), mid-blue skinny jeans (River Island) and charcoal Converse.

It's a real could do better day for me. Hmm

I'd like to be wearing what I wore at the weekend - black Maje skinny jeans, a petrol blue silk Massimo Dutti T, a black skinny blazer, statement necklaces, black metal-heel Chelsea boots. That look really worked for me!

Ujjayi · 22/01/2014 10:48

FuckyNell - I'm hoping anyone browsing the ASOS website will also have that reaction and then they will reduce it further Wink and yes the colour is divine but I appreciate the cut is an acquired taste!

ProfondoRosso - I am now smitten with your fantasy outfit. Those shoes are just brilliant - loved D&G's "Icon" designs last season.

Hazelbrowneyes - I struggle not to slouch around in pjs all day - I work from home and when I've walked DS to school I have to immediately go to my studio & not think for a minute about those cosy, warm pjs sitting in the drawer...!

claudeekishi love the sound of your weekend outfit. Petrol blue is a gorgeous shade.

ProfondoRosso · 22/01/2014 11:38

Ujjayi, I think I would be my dream self if only I could have those shoes! Grin I would so wear one of their jewelled crowns too.

Ujjayi · 22/01/2014 12:17

Dexter73 me too!

awaywego get well soon. I wish my hair would go in a Gibson roll. It is long enough but just too fine.

ProfondoRosso - Wear a crown with pride, I say. Even if you are on the no3 bus in Glasgow Wink I make it my mission to wear sparkly, inappropriate head gear as often as I can.
