I'm 28 and all I see in shops is crop tops(shudder)
I'm deffo too old for those.
I like shops like Zara/Topshop/H&M/whistles etc
I have no idea what's even in fashion anymore.
Today I have a pair of river island washed black ankle grazer jeans on with a white top and a cream fitted blazer from Zara and in stuck for what shoes..

High waisted chambray midi skirt (La Redoute) and a cropped, sleeveless white blouse (H&M) with clog sandals (Lotta from Stockholm)

I thought I was too old for crop tops, until I started strength training and got some visible abs. Now I think crop tops are amazing (I'm 37)

I do like the current trend for slogan tees (Rad has some good ones) and off the shoulder tops

Ineedmorelemonpledge · 03/07/2016 07:41

I'm wearing these...sooo cheap but comfortable and flattering.

With a black v neck vest and a Zara basics black cardigan.

I have black Birkenstock style crossover sandals as I need to wear flats (broken knee)

Intention was to wear with black cage heels.

Marking place for tips. Feel like I don't know what to wear any more! Trying to streamline my wardrobe towards a more capsule feel but now have no idea what to wear for a cultural night out. Thinking of fancy joggers, low block heels, tank top, but what cover up?

Sun16 · 03/07/2016 09:10

Barbara your outfit sounds gorgeous. If i wasn't so lazy I too could work a crop top. You've inspired me!

user1467042399 · 03/07/2016 10:11

Thinking about it a couple of colours do suit me.
Summer -lemon,mint green,light blue
But colours that look awful are light pink,orange,and lilac (I have dark brown hair)
Winter colours it's only rich burgundy
I think if your light blonde you suit more colours

Today I'm wearing khaki jogger trousers with a leopard print baggy vest, silver flat sandals.

But I'm not going anywhere or doing anything today.

Sun16 · 03/07/2016 11:07

I do user. Probably will try that. Just felt it was a bit boring!

Ineedmorelemonpledge · 03/07/2016 13:18

Burgundy is making a huge comeback for AW op. Paired with dark denim and grey tones.

So hang on in there for that one!

AuldYow · 03/07/2016 13:32

Old Primarni skinny jeans, band t-shirt and Birkenstocks - the height of fashion here Wink

Cocolepew · 03/07/2016 13:39

Im wearing Next relaxed fit skinnies turned up, pale blue Puma suedes, a grey h&m sweatshirt and will be putting on my new dusky pink bomber jacket from New Look. I'm going to the cinema with the DDs.
Cold shoulder tops are everywhere here. I hate them but DD loves them.

ShutTheFuckUpBarbara · 03/07/2016 15:14

Thanks Sun Blush

Today I'm wearing some khaki silk tapered trousers, a black Libertines tee shirt and black wedged trainers.

Laura Lees flowery buff coloured sleeveless top with embroidered patches
Pale Gap jeans with big turn-ups
White and neon pink socks
Khaki ankle boots
Khaki military jacket
Coach tan crossbody bag

(it's a bit wacky but I needed to wear shoes today as my one of heels have cracked from wearing sandals these past 3 days! - TMI!)

Judydreamsofhorses · 03/07/2016 20:24

Today I wore:

Black high-waisted All Saints skinnies
Pale blue soft chambray Topshop shirt, tucked in
Nike Roshe trainers, black and leopard print
Silver necklace

When out - Whistles leather biker and Jigsaw bag.

Now in grey Primark pj trousers, grey Whistles jumper and Ugg boots

Reed88 · 04/07/2016 10:10

Khaki coloured skinny jeans with black heeled ankle boots
White long blouse

I'm 27 and am too now struggling with what's in fashion, all the shops I would usually shop at places such as Topshop or New Look but I have noticed recently there are a lot of things I can no longer get away with.

I'm with you on crop tops - although some are ok with high waisted trousers or skirts!

MadSprocker · 04/07/2016 10:23

Yesterday I wore Gap girlfriend jeans with a silk shirt from Warehouse and Toms.

Today I'm wearing a linen pullover shirt from Gap, denim shorts from FatFace and grey Nike trainers when I go out.

PNGirl · 04/07/2016 10:33

I'm a jeans girl - mainly in skinny ankle grazers for summer. Today I'm wearing Topshop Jamie in dark indigo, a mottled grey jersey tank top, black cardi with sleeves pushed up and black leather Ted&Muffy trainers.

UhtredRagnorsson · 04/07/2016 12:51

I'm wearing black H&M skinnies, a band T shirt (the cure) and an ASOS black baggy jumper.

I am not fashionable.

UhtredRagnorsson · 04/07/2016 12:52

I haven't worn a blazer since I was at school. I wouldn't even know how to wear one now. Or why I could ever possibly want to.

As I said - I'm not fashionable.

Twinklestar2 · 04/07/2016 13:51

I'm wearing:

Gap polka dot shirt
Black velvet skinnies
Tan and black flats
Tan handbag

At work today

FashionLover1 · 04/07/2016 16:03

Of shoulder tops and wedge espadrilles are the top things. Some inspiration and ideas what to wear you can check here

prettywhiteguitar · 04/07/2016 17:31

I bought a Bardot style (off the shoulder) jumpsuit from shudder Marks and spencer, it's navy and I love it ! It's so comfortable and glamorous but also could be dressed down. I wore it for a meal out with a tiny gold necklace, gold and black flat sandals. I felt really good, I think it will be good for holiday in the evening.

ephemeralfairy · 04/07/2016 18:04

Damn you lemonpledge! I am going to have to buy those awesome trousers now...

pinkskyinthecity · 04/07/2016 20:00

At work today, I wore:

Primark sheer dark green short sleeved shirt
charity A-line black corduroy small flowered printed skirt
My new Bass fisherman buff-coloured sandals (so comfy for my MF soles!)
Jack Wolfskin (work) rucksack
