Thought I would start a thread for those who like to do their own thing sartorially...

I am currently lusting after the following handmade boots....

Aha, my people! My style is a finely curated blend of whatever catches my eye in charity shops and Gudrun Sjoden. Footwear is DMs, Converse or very quirky Grin. If I can fathom how to attach a photo I’ll upload one of my rainbow boots - though they could be very outing.

PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair · 01/08/2019 23:37

I love a bit of Gudrun too :)

Always picking up stuff in charities - they are a treasure trove unlike high street shops nowadays....

Oh GOD I saw some rainbow boots on fb this week. They were the old me, well the YOUNG me would have said uerg they are GOPPING ace, wide toe box, no cutty-across blisterstitch, wacky really.

Paul I like boots in pic 3. The toe is silly so yep a nod from me.

PurpleDaisies · 01/08/2019 23:56

I bought one of those tunics in sea salt the other day!

FlibbertyGiblets · 01/08/2019 23:57

The hair. Are you tall and thin because #Simpsons #Babysitter. Jus' sayin'.

PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair · 02/08/2019 00:06

No short and decidedly round but that style is my thing and it suits me.

I have naturally rebellious hair so I work with it! Grin

Thumbs up then!

(You remind me of a poster of old, Lenin, so I'm giving you an affectionate head-knuckle)

Paul, Sainsbury's have some similar tunics in a stretchy, denimy fabric. Not as nice as Seasalt or Toast but easy to get hold of and with big pockets. I had to go 2 sizes up as my own size was a little too snug for me it clung to all my fat bits.

paul gorgeous shoes! Where are they from?

PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair · 02/08/2019 12:34

The first tall pair with the swirls are from Brodequin shoes. The chestnut ones - Green Shoes. The shorter pair - Faerysteps.

Handmade shoes are my one weakness 😁

I just got the pinafore from sea salt. It looks lovely, gathered round the back...

Potatopia · 02/08/2019 16:52

Nomads have some similar style tunics, lots of patterns+colours.

I like the look of this coatigan at Gudrun Sjoden. Reminds me of Disney’s Cheshire Cat!

I love that red dress.

I've never even heard of Gudrun so I'm going to Google.

I wouldn't know how to describe my style, I don't think I follow any particular style, I just do my own thing.

I wear a lot of unusual and vintage, shop in dress agencies for designer labels and love bargain buys from charity shops.

I've just bought a 50s white organza dress, it has a full just below the knee skirt, not sure what shoes yet but can't wait to wear it.

Paul, I like the red boots in your first post. Where are they from?

PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair · 02/08/2019 21:51

I am with you Mini mine is eclectic too :). Probably, if I had to pin it down- veering towards this....only with handmade elements. I love old things. Always comfy though and never in restrictive clothing. My clothing has to moooove and I DON'T DO HEELS. Grin
