Fashion Anonymous Club - fishmonger alert

[Maireas]

Have you bought a white trilby, but ended up looking like a fishmonger? Have you purchased an outfit in forest green and been recommended a life in Sherwood Forest?
Those of us who have made many a fashion faux pas are offering a service. Run it by us first. Unless you have effortless style. We're here to help.

Sorry I missed the nuance, it sounded better said in my head in a nice light hearted tone 😂

Can I join?

@OutOfBread I like those Birkenstock's but you need to style them carefully or you will look like a giant toddler.

Welcome @nevernotstruggling - and wise words. They do look a bit like My First Shoes from Startrite, but in a bit of a depressing colour. I would say no, unless you have a floor length dress to cover.

Those Birkenstocks look like they've been carved out of hot dogs.
Perhaps try a different colour?

Carved out of hotdogs!

unless you have a floor length dress to cover.

This says it all. I think they are maybe not quite what I am going for.

Maybe a brighter shade? I bet they're comfy.

Mmm those Birkenstock's look soo gloriously comfy.

I do see the hot dog resemblance though.

Tough call.

I think you need to order them, try them on & post a pic for final judgement. (I keep saying that)

@outofbread I actually LOVE that skirt. Can't you wear it with a plain black or white top? Or have I just been in lockdown too long

I like the skirt too, but I'm far too short to look good in it.
I did try one and I just looked like I'd been at the dressing up box.

May I join the thread? Feel I have desperately lost my way in lockdown, particularly trying to keep warm on all these bloody walks. So I thought I would get myself a knitted headband and i would be transformed into cool sexy nonchalant influencer with takeaway coffee vibe (pic A).

Instead I was most definitely pic B.

Gah why hasn't that worked?

Try again...

@Acunningruse - join the fun. A knitted headband? It could work, what are we thinking?

I'm thinking I might be able to repurpose the knitted scarf my mother made for my newborn baby.

Apparently choking hazards weren't a thing when I was a baby

I really need to see the knitted headband.

That was embarrassing... try again.
How I imagine myself in a knitted headband versus reality...

@Acunningruse
We could all come round and admire your muriel!!!

@Purplethrow

I have just ordered this , it’s going to look shit isn’t it? I’m going to look like the lead role in Joseph and the Technicolour Dream Coat as performed by the local amdram society, whose costume maker a) can’t sew and b) has an axe to grind because they wanted the part.

I’m guessing you’ll get a tiny, polyester top with that pattern printed on it. It’s a classic trick on those sorts of sites.

Those daisy dungarees... has anyone noticed the pattern on the right leg? They couldn’t even be arsed to photoshop them.

I really fancy these. I'd wear them with my DMs. I am a mid 40s busty size 12/14 though, do you think they might make me look like a middle aged lesbian painter and decorator from a 1980's sitcom rather than the cool boho definitely still extremely attractive woman I aspire to be am?

The latter, ZooeyS definitely the latter.
Do you often stand atop a cliff and let your hair fly in the breeze?

I bought a short white denim jumpsuit from TopShop that had Anne Summers Naughty Nurse vibes on. I gave it to teen daughter, who looked fine in it.
Have no idea what I was originally thinking

zooey the model looks like a painter & decorator, hanging around for Bert to turn up with the ladders so she can paint the facias.

It's a windy day - she could do with a cup of tea to keep the chill at bay.

I look good in a beret.

Do you wear them a lot, yaboo?
What's your style secret?!
