Do you often want to buy clothes that you know won't suit you?

[ahundredtimes]

I do.

Had v. annoying morning in town mooching through sales racks. Everything I liked I knew I wouldn't suit me.

Found a delicious Cabbages and Roses jumper, with raspberry velvet trim on sleeves and neck, but it was high-necked and NOT flattering.

And then saw lots of pinafores, which I wanted to believe in, but couldn't.

And oh just everything. City shorts in Gap, weird velvet trousers in Jigsaw.

I think I want to dress other people not me.

Oh yes, that could be my life

Mine is a desperate need to buy office wear and good shoes... which I don't need. Ever.

i am guilty of this in the sales as i get all over excited at 70 % discount labels

it then ends up sitting in my wardrobe until i have a sort out

i think pinafores are just wrong under any circumstances - too "Little House on the Prairie"

believe me you don't want to dress anyone in weird velvet trews from jigsaw. know what you mean though. i love the idea of tanktops and spangly halterneck tops (i know!) but the sylph of my imagination morphs into some horrific sleep deprived hunched butch woman in the mirror. heh ho.

yes

have you bought your Radio Times?

mine has just come for next week it has Johnny Depp on the cover

that is not aimed at 70 year olds

god yes
I hanker after hippy style baggy clothes of hwich I look dreadful in.Like a bag lady.
I need to wear structured tailored stuff which is dull to me.

yes and sometimes I buy them and then they sit in my wardrobe accusing me until I off-load them to a charity shop

am trying to do this less as it's a terrible waste of money

trouble is I can rarely find stuff that does suit me...so buy stuff in hope/desperation

Am rarely tempted by weird velvet trousers though
so that's something

I have enormous boobs which pretty much rules out most of the things you mention.

It is very annoying, as in my head I am tall, willowy and floaty. I DREAM of wearing a high neck. And as for those short things......

i content myself by dressing dd. she looks fabulous in everything imo.

Cappucino-do tell me more about the radio Times, is it a good read?

I should wear different things but I never have the right shoes

so I stand there thinking 'oh that's nice but if I bought that I would need shoes and I don't have the cash'

usually I end up buying nothing therefore

all advice for hourglass is to get the rack out
