Well I'm a walking cliche aren't I? [sad face] photo incl

[Clicheaf]

Went out in my new frock last night thought I looked rather okay.

I've lost loads of weight recently and feel like heading towards a New Normal Me.

But then scrolling through S&B I find I'm ubiquitous

Aibu to think I should change my style ALREADY?

Also bonus points, for guess my size, age, favourite animal

If it were cotton only it would have no stretch. The elastene (only 2%) makes it more comfortable, sits better and doesn’t crumple so much.

Why would an American designer make clothes in the U.K.?

Great to meet a fellow denim refuser! The thought of a denim jacket collar touching my bare neck makes my toes curl. And also touching my bare arms.

I do wear jeans sometimes but very rarely. It feels like heavy fabric encasing my legs and binding in my waist!

I don’t wear them either but it’s not a sensory thing I don’t think they look nice.

Weirdos! Denim is fine. Velvet on the other hand………. 😂

I think you might be right, I just googled denim jacket looks and there’s not on that appeals to me. I am biased though ☺️

Size 16, 55, penguin 🐧

I also wear dresses and white trainers and denim jackets. Shoot me.

I think the outfit is fine and the bag lovely. Denim jacket quite bulky and dress a touch too long with those busy trainers. I think you'd have been better showing more ankle and lighter trainers.

I like the front side of velvet but I don’t like it when the inside part that touches my skin is a weird knit texture.

That thread is lovely!

Lol, I’m exactly the opposite. And don’t get me started on peaches.

You look lovely I'd say you're 33.

I didn’t know penguin was a body shape! I just pictured Danny DeVito as the Penguin in Batman Returns! 🤣

You look lovely and I hope you enjoyed your evening 😊

Darker denim jacket and bright white trainers needed, they are too 80s geography teacher, love the dress though.

46, size 14-16 and otter

What does S and B mean?
Thanks!
It's really bugging me.
Love the dress!

Lovely shade of blue.
You look lovely.
Early 30's.

What’s S&B?

Style and beauty

I love peaches! Butternut squash on the other hand is the devil’s work.

You look lovely and the dress is lovely but those trainers are doing the outfit no favours!

I can cope with velvet as long as it's lined (I have a couple of ageing Boden velvet skirts which are fully lined).

But my life is basically a list of clothes I can't wear because they feel wrong. My pet hate is those 'Grandpa' type necklines, where they don't have a proper collar but a bit of fabric which I can feel touching either side of my neck.

I have no idea whether denim would suit me as it's too unwearable

@Hidinginaonesie Oh god, why did you have to remind me about peaches?

Thank you!

You look lovely OP. Ignore the so-called experts on this thread. On the previous threads people were falling over themselves to say that look was a uniform and everyone looked the same - on this one they are telling you your trainers/shoes/bag are wrong and you should change them so you look identical to everyone else wearing that combination. Honestly, you can't win on S&B.

Fair enough - in that case, made in the USA. I doubt that the Chinese workforce making these dresses are paid any more or have better working conditions than those who make Pretty Little Thing crap, and I doubt that the quality is much better despite the price tag.

I also have an aversion to elastane - I can't bear the feeling of it. It makes cotton feel heavy, plus it is just wrong-feeling generally.

Ah thank you! It’s super cute. Slightly out of price range for a “just because I saw it and want it” bag. But it’s on the list for when I get the “bonus I deserve and have nothing else to spend it on” bonus.

I don’t know what size you are and I don’t care. All I can see is that you look really lovely. I like your style.
