I think you need more 'slouch factor' then Cod. Uggs or Uggalikes don't slouch enough. Go to Primark and get the lace up ones a la moi - they slouch enough that I nearly fall over. I think that is the idea.

my lil sis is a manager at topshop and has jeans in every colour. she always look uber-funky and immaculate. i think you have to have a lot of self confidence to pull them off.

i tried skinny jeans tucked into over-the-knee primark boots and topped off with a glittery tunic type t-shirt. I looked like Robin Hood on a night out with the merry men.

Is looking like Robin Hood bad?

I obviously spend too much time with my DSes, because looking like Robin Hood sounds good to me ...

themoon66 · 23/11/2007 11:12

Well, i'm starting to think I should just throw myself into this whole medieval/robin hood look totally. Perhaps it aint that bad.

Am off out on works do tonight. Will dress as robin and count how many people say 'wow you look fab' and how many just snigger.

Will report back tomorrow on viability of robin hood-ness as a total look.

lissielewzealand · 23/11/2007 11:13

lol nqc

themoon66 · 23/11/2007 11:14

As long as i don't resemble Friar Tuck too much, obviously

lissielewzealand · 23/11/2007 11:14

id end up looking like a peasant. no matter how dressed up i get, i still look like a hedge has surprised me by dragging me though!

NotQuiteCockney · 23/11/2007 11:15

You need a green hat with a big feather, right? And lots of fringe. And then you can call everyone 'my good fellow' or something.

Why is randomly dressing up in costumes perfectly acceptable in children, but not in grownups?

themoon66 · 23/11/2007 11:16

What about a quiver to accessorise?

NotQuiteCockney · 23/11/2007 11:16

Oh, yes, a quiver! Obviously.

And maybe a horse?

NotQuiteCockney · 23/11/2007 11:17

Ok, I'm off to rummage through my cupboards of clothes that don't fit anyway and see if any of it is Robin-Hood-esque.

NotQuiteCockney · 23/11/2007 11:17

Will obviously keep an eye out for a spare horse, too.

MitfordSisters · 23/11/2007 15:02

I used to work a bit of a robin hood look - cropped green trousers, brown pixie boots - and thought I was the business - robbing the rich to give to the poor, climbing trees, foraging - gosh perks me up just thinking about it!

Elphaba · 23/11/2007 15:09

I think skinnies tucked into Uggs screams 'fashion victim/I want to look like a teenager'.

Tis naffo.

ggglimpopo · 23/11/2007 15:19

I am so fat pg that the idea of squeezing myself into anything skinny gives me contractions. Give me green trousers and a hat and quiver I'd be mistaken for someone with an acorn. Or an over ripe gooseberry.

As for uggs; i'd look like a guinea pig.

Here in Bordeaux, it got down to nigh freezing last week and all the grandes dames were parading toute suite in their freshly out of cold storage minks. Never seen so much perfumed fur in my life. NOt a look that would go down well on th e Kings road, but not an Ugg in sight (black high heeled boots with roland klein belt things at ankle).

I possess neither green trousers, nor quivered hat, nor mink coat, nor ugg boots nor high heeled kleins.

I am officially out of it.

An essay; I have written an essay on uggs and green leggings.

ggglimpopo · 23/11/2007 15:21

addendum: "someone with an acorn fetish"; or I suppose it could be someone hiding behind an acorn.

Were you wearing a bonnet too, and a billowing apron, and doing a special little dance in a giant plastic flower?
