I don't want to look expensive thread. I like colour, prints and comfortable quirky stuff.

[NevermetaGilesIlike]

Thought I'd start a thread for anyone who finds capsule wardrobes in muted tones tedious as feck.

Ditto little diamond studs and designer bags with glossy bobs.

I personally admire the style of Alys Fowler and Helena Bonham-Carter.

Also love a bit of Gudrun/Lagenlook and other cheerful offerings.

A successful charity shop rummage is a joy to behold. I like messy hair, well -loved clothes and making my own stuff too.

Anyone else?

I have some beautiful red Fly boots and they are super comfy...but yes I was a little surprised they didnt do well in the wet...sort of defeats part of boots appeal/need.

I spray them with some stuff but tend to keep them for pretty days

I bought my DM Henriettas last autumn and still can't wear them for long periods of time :-(

I will try the newspaper trick. They are so beautiful but just won't wear in.

love DMs, really want some of the TMNT ones but cant justify them right now. I have purple patent, red patent, black velvet, silver textured and a pair that fold over that the back in plain black. Love all of them and wear them often. otherwise i wear converse through the summer. I also have a pair of cat face TUK shoes which i love and my sister absolutely hates.

I just have my Henriettas and a pair of Aimilie boots with flowery ribbon laces. But my boots have fallen to pieces(split soles, ripped leather, uppers cinch away from the soles). So I need new ones. DP bought a pair of Made for Life boots recently, and they are lovely. I considering saving up for a pair.

I am laughing at my TMNT ones they are causing a stir around my family and friends the opnions so far is they are brilliant but crazy and that am crazy love it.

For any one who has the Pascal Dms -do they come up small?

Never mine are size perfect imo

I find them a true fit.

The delivery for the website is very good. The ones I ordered for the boys from the sale 2 days ago just arrived.

Thank-you 🙂🦉

My Pascals are true to size too.

Oooh me too! I have a wardrobe full of leopard print, fruity patterns, biker boots and DM's with roses embroidered up them. I have tattoos and very bright hair and would look ridiculous in beige. I also love retro prints that make me look like a 1970s biscuit tin.

My wonderful dms

I saw a lovely white pair with a red heart on the toe. They would be my perfect bridal footwear.

My friend has those DMs with the roses, the picture doesn't do them justice they are stunning.

very very jealous

I have these. They're sort of silver grey and really lovely. They go with everything.

I saw the cutest young girl yesterday, wearing a bright yellow raincoat and those DMs with red roses (and presumably some other things too!). She looked lovely, but she was v young, v slim and v beautiful. I'd have looked liked a crazy cat lady.

this is my heavier lace coat for the cooler days in the summer. i love making my own clothes and having one off items of clothing. no beige or pale colours either.

I was so pleased with my rose DM's, I got a half price eBay bargain. They are so comfortable too.

Greenifer, I wanted a pair of those boots for so long, but couldn't really afford them, and then they were sold out in my size. I occasionally have a peek to see if any show up on eBay, but no luck yet.

I love these leggings at the moment. They look great with my rose DMs, leopard coat and a top. Only £2.99 off eBay too.

I'm liking the DM love on here altho I'm not a docs wearer.
My skirt. Generally worn with slouchy jumper and boots. I'm not a fan of the cut bug I'm learning to sew in order to incorporate more African and other prints into my clothes. I wear thfm a lot as scarves or headwraps.

It occurs to me that this is a good place to ask if any of you know where to find plus size, comfortable tights in colours other than black and navy. I love M&S velvet touch for comfort and fit, but they don't really come in anything colourful. I want real and mustard and burgundy tights, damnit!

Teal tight, as well as real ones.

Broomstick, I get tights from M&S and buy the XL. I've seen three packs of different colours in there, about 40 denier? I have some in green and pink and purple. It seems to depend on the shop. Try eBay?

Im enjoying all the photos and descriptions of styles everyone on here has.

I was going to suggest M&S. I got my teal and purple tights from there. Newlook have nice ribbed and coloured ones. Dont go for primark though. I bought a burgundy pair and they slowly creep down my arse constantly.

Inspired by the dainty watch thread, I thought Id share a pic of my watch.
