Tell you what I don't have, coloured scarves. You know, "brighten it up with a coloured silk scarf" etc.

I have a pale brown woolly one for dog walks.

pagwatch · 05/10/2009 18:32

I have no jeans at all and no trousers at all. And no leggings

And people think I am a bit weird as a result. But I am not

Part of a capsule wardrobe apparently, but I seem to have survived without one. no plans to buy one either.

MaggieBehave · 05/10/2009 18:37

I also have nothing for an office job obviously and nothing for a funeral.

Alibooobaandthe40Phantoms · 05/10/2009 18:57

Lyra - surely equally weird to make a list of clothes you haven't got?

DrNortherner · 05/10/2009 18:58

Bought Uggs DONE

ConFuschias · 05/10/2009 18:59

pants

tulpe · 05/10/2009 19:08

Crocs. And any other kind of fugly footwear that looks okay on children but appalling on adults.

EdgarAllenPoo · 05/10/2009 19:09

gillets - pointless. if its cold, i want my arms covered. if it isn't, i don't want to look like the michelin man.

i have no

t-shirts
'nice' jeans - i have one scummy pair atm, though i can't believe i threw away my levis....
boots. gave my last pair of gothy ones away, and the ones i bought on ebay are still in the post.
cardigans - though i'd really find one useful, but iim yet to find a nice one second hand.
long-line tops.
leggings or tight trousers.

i have a bias against clothing with writing or images of people on, so own nothing with a prominent logo.

tulpe · 05/10/2009 19:09

Those blouse & tank top all-in-1 combos/fake layered tees

Why???

Can people not layer for themselves?

tulpe · 05/10/2009 19:13

Agree with EdgarAllenPoo on the logos/writing/images thing on clothing.

Oh and can I add 3/4 sleeved "anything designed for wearing when cold" please? Tis the most annoying sleeve length ever designed (and makes my arms look weird )

NancyBotwin · 05/10/2009 19:26

Have never owned a pair of Levis/Wranglers/insert name of well-known brand from your youth. No g-string either, though I probably need one if I am ever to wear a certain dress again - found out I had vpl with it and the shops were already shut. And no, I'd not rather go commando!
