What are you wearing to vote?

I feel I ought to spruce myself up a little today to celebrate exercising my democratic right (regardless of the likely result).

So, I am wearing a black and white striped tee, a cropped cream cardigan with pearls sewn on to look like a necklace (Tory girl?), black straight legged jeans and a navy blue leather bomber jacket (urban Labour luvvie?), and probably some sort of big scarf (Green earth mother?). At the moment I am wearing BA longhaul flight socks, but I'll find something more appropriate...

Anyone else dressing for the occasion?

Eh?

A specific voting outfit?

Only on Mumsnet....

tethersend · 06/05/2010 14:33

Why my red Hasbeens, of course... Do I win a prize?

purplepeony · 06/05/2010 14:34

A full length dress with a bustle, hoop , lace gloves and a hat with a veil.

ha ha!

I wonder if Boden will include a voting outfit in their catalogue in four year's time.

helyg · 06/05/2010 14:35

Boden natch, so that they know I'm a mumsnetter and therefore a very important voter...

CybilLiberty · 06/05/2010 14:35

I'm wearing black fitted shirt dress, gold plaited belt, gold glads....

if I'm not the best dressed person at the pollingvstation I will consider it a travesty of justice and will demand a RECOUNT GODDAMMIT

BarryBenson · 06/05/2010 14:54

I think they would have a 'voting-conservative-outfit'.

I had on pink converse, new look jeans which are too big but the next size down are too small, a teenage tshirt from tesco (white with glittery butterfly on) and black three quarter length sleeve cardigan. I look particularly ravishing today.

monkeysmama · 06/05/2010 14:59

I was in grey skinnies, grey and black layer long sleeve tees, white leather converse, grey leather jacket and grey and pink animal print scarf. I feel pretty grey today.

Cyb where's your shirt dress from?

Fleecy · 06/05/2010 15:14

Ooh, I seem to have missed an opportunity to dress up - that doesn't usually happen!

Not very exciting here. Black skinny jeans, grey swing vest with leopard picture on the front, white l/s tee underneath, Ash high tops. Walked there with DD walking alongside and DS in the buggy so heels not an option!

wineismysaviour · 06/05/2010 16:04

Jeans, cowboy boots and a poncho going on here.....ding ding ding...I hear you all cry.

CybilLiberty · 06/05/2010 16:37

black shirt dress from h&M many moons ago!

Neededn't ahve worried about not being best dressed in the polling station...the bobble hat quotient was quite high.

felt like a prat voting.

fin54 · 06/05/2010 16:52

My political rosette

DumpyOldWoman · 06/05/2010 16:59

A hair shirt.

And tbh I felt overdressed. They really should do something about those horrible wooden stalls. Quite shoddy and grubby, and depressing. And how wasteful that they only get used once every so often - I dread to think how much the council spend storing and transporting them.

They should get IKEA to design some which can transform into wendy houses for nurseries, or library shelves, or urinals at festivals or something.

nipple tassels

ASecretLemonadeDrinkerDAVE · 06/05/2010 17:02

Maternity jeans, whatever maternity top I can dig out and a looks-like-Boden stripey hoody thing (it really does look like the Boden one - £12 in Sainsburys and goes over a pregnancy bump!) O, and they-were-white-when-new canvas pump thingies.

supergreenuk · 06/05/2010 17:03

Stearing clear of red, blue and yellow.

WorzselMummage · 06/05/2010 17:04

Jeans, a stripy top and my baby in a hip sling.

wastingaway · 06/05/2010 17:04

I wore a brown tweedy midcalf skirt, grey l/s round neck tee, my black jersey jacket, customised Radley handbag, orange Birkenstocks. With grey socks, all the brown socks are in the wash.

MayorNaze · 06/05/2010 17:06
