According to dh, my style is 6th form drama teacher. What’s yours?

So I do have a penchant for some ‘ethnic’ style jewellery and a billowy frock. And a bit of beading/embroidery/sequins/faux fur. I think I pull it off but no matter what I wear this is what I look like. You could put me in a trouser suit and I’d still look like a art/drama teacher. What’s that all about? What’s your inescapable style?

'Mumsy... but like fit posh mumsy. You've probably got a son called Hugo who you take to rugger '
I honestly have no idea how to take that 😂 I'm 23, no children and I'm decidedly more country/farm chic than posh!

I’ve often been described as having social worker chic

I’m not a social worker

Sophie Grabol / Sarah Lund from the killing

About 10 years ago DD and I were out and she pointed to another Mum and said
"Look she's wearing your Mummy uniform"

She was wearing jeans, breton striped top and superga trainers.
I need to up my game

Out of the mouths of babes....

Swaying between preppy blob and suburban hippie mama.

DD 17 recently said I am starting to look like a local very posh private school 'PPS' mum. She keeps saying it 'Your looking very PPS mum today.'
I don't know whether to be flattered or insulted.... I am a little bemused that 'they' have a look, what that 'look' is and how I've achieved it!

I'm a combination of teenage Goth from the noughties and potions teacher, depending on my mood, skirt length and how much I'm scowling. Occasionally I slip into Victorian school ma'am on the rare occasions I wear my hair up.
Fashion inspiration comes from Amy Lee, Wednesday and Morticia Addams and Abby Scuito, with a hefty dose of Victoriana thrown in for good measure. I like my style.

Haggard woman in a suit. Is that a thing? This is the closest I can think of:

mrs brown from the paddington films/art teacher is what i aspire for! im not 100% certain i get there but i'm getting closer.

Oh dear. Google "Theresa May 2010".
That is me
In my head, I'm Drew Barrymore crossed with Audrey Hepburn...

I am midlife crisis mum

Either in muddy dog walking jeans, or attempting to "make an effort" in tweed mini and knee high boots, and my lovely teenage son affectionately calls me "midlife crisis mum"

Elivissa-autocorrect But actually perhaps channelling some sort of duke, possibly an 18th century one might work for me in terms of styling...

Apparently I dress like an art student. I'm a nursing student

Some days I'm like Joan Holloway from Mad Men, and others like a 90s student. But underneath those clothes, I'm always dressed up to the nines. I spend more time, money and energy in thinking and lingerie than any other clothing. I'm obsessed and have been since I was a teenager. I'm almost 50 now

Channelling a definite Molly Weasley here.

The grown-up indie kid.

Lots of Breton, jumpers and velvet blazers, worn in jeans or mini-skirts. All in navy, orange and black. Only ever with Chelsea boots or super cool trainers. I don’t wear anything that doesn’t come in ‘flat’. What if I need to do some moshing at a minute’s notice?

My husband once told me I looked like a Lego Friend (admittedly I was wearing a Boden aqua cricket jumper with a lilac trim).

My DH just said ' just You. You look like you'. Luv him, I am overweight eBay shopper with a penchant for pjs. So I'll take 'you'

Call the midwife apparently! It came up again only a couple of days ago when I came downstairs dressed in wide leg trousers, shirt, sweater over with a vintage brooch. Charming.

When I make an effort I've been told off-duty Kate Middleton - same age, same figure (when not pregnant) - skinny jeans, flat boots, stripy top or fitted jumper, bit country chic etc.

Day to day when not at work it's 'sporty outdoorsy beachy' - hiking trousers, skinnies or shorts, vest tops, casual off-the-shoulder tees, hoodies, the occasional checked shirt, hiking boots, Salomon running trainers, Gazelles or Havaianas depending on time of year.

At the moment I'm wearing trousers that are too tight (due to festive eating) and jumpers that are too big (due to festive shopping). So I think I give the air of someone who's both confused about the boundaries of her body and slightly uncomfortable.

In my head: 90s student + mature studenthere too. (In reality, tired dog walker look)

Playmobil lawyer

MIne is "look like a lesbian" apparently.

I do like a butch look in fairness, though, unfortunately, am not a lesbian.

M&S Burberry.

I want to look chic and classically British / tailoring etc... but I’m skint.

The M&S bit is particularly embarrassing because I’m only 22.
