Today, I have committed the ultimate Sartorial Faux Pas....

I accidentally wore double denim, then because I was rushing, I considered it and went "Nah, CBA". Yes, I am old enough to know better. No, still not bothered. There may be a special circle of Hell reserved for me (7.5a?) but I still can't bring myself to care very much. Is this is a bonus in exchange for everything heading south, rapidly? getting to a certain age? Will I start wearing purple soon, and moaning about the price of butter? Tell me your fashion things, that you're not bothered about, please. TIA.

I wore black trousers and a coloured top today.

This means I am going to hell and everyone has sniggered behind my back.

I buy flatter comfortable sandals now I’m over 50. Ohhh the freedom is liberating

Isaidnoalready · 25/07/2022 15:54

Crocs. Handy for camping and easy to wash clean on the beach. I don't get the hate for them.

Blueuggboots · 25/07/2022 15:59

I wear boot cut jeans. Shoot me!

Housewife2010 · 25/07/2022 16:01

It's been a few years since I changed from M&S high legs to full briefs. So much comfier.

ImAvingOops · 25/07/2022 16:02

I've got 'active wear' on, with no intention of going to the gym! I don't care - the leggings are lovely and soft and have a nice big pocket for my phone.

ldontWanna · 25/07/2022 16:09

I still wear Uggs in winter.. outside!!Grin

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 25/07/2022 16:16

Oh dear... I do pretty much all of these! It's a good job DH isn't fussy about this stuff, and it hasn't put him off the conjugals... Grin

Twice lately it's been ''too late now'' to run upstairs and get a pair of fancy shoes (for 'fancy' read: not flip flops) to go out for a nice meal.

i still had half an hour before i had to leave

MrsMoastyToasty · 25/07/2022 16:20

I haven't painted my nails/been for a manicure; removed my moustache; had my brows done; shaved or waxed other parts of my body.

Guess what? Nobody else has died of shock.

(FWIW I am the ultimate Low Maintenance Woman. I do however brush my teeth, have a daily bath and brush my hair).

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 25/07/2022 16:24

Please don't even start on Lady Garden Maintenance! A quick trim is as good as it gets. Grin

What’s wrong with black trousers and a coloured top? If anything I think it’s the only acceptable option - black top makes you look like you’re in an orchestra and white top like a waiter.

HairyMcLarie · 25/07/2022 16:39

@AppleBottomRats well exactly. A similar thread declared such an outfit to be an abomination. Several posters said so.

No one could explain why except for faint mumblings about 'Trinny and Suzanna'

MarshaMelrose · 25/07/2022 16:43

Meghan Markle wore double denim the other day. Its on trend for 2022. You're just leading the way.

This is nuts. Why would you even bat an eyelid at nipping out with the bin in your pj bottoms?
Are you really being judged for this ?

Boy leg swimsuits all the way - means the trims can be less frequent too...

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 25/07/2022 16:58

I wear an M&S denim jacket and M&S jeggings
Apart from the Hmm looks from my 20yo daughter I'm good

Whatalovelydaffodil · 25/07/2022 16:58

I wear trainers that are actual trainers with dresses.

Maireas · 25/07/2022 17:00

As we're sharing sartorial sins, today I'm wearing
skinny jeans

That’s the point… there is nothing wrong with it except on Mumsnet where it’s considered a fashion faux pas

ZaZathecat · 25/07/2022 17:06

Oh dear... I like a bit of purple (well, burgundy really, maybe that makes it ok?) And honestly, £9 for a large tub of Lurpak? How can you ignore that??

BitOutOfPractice · 25/07/2022 17:10

Oh op I thought you’d worn tights with open toed shoes
