What do you wear?

**Minstrel** · 01-03-2011, 06:08 PM

I am about to invest in some new clothes as i haven't bought anything since maternity clothes.

I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to buy. Although I'm only in my (very late!) twenties, I don't really like the clothes that are in fashion atm and i live in black trousers which i'm sure people must think is very dull.

Any ideas? -

(I'm a size 14 top 18 bottom so none of this leggings malarky either!)

I used to be another "anything as long as it's black" sort of person, but I've got more colourful as I've got older. I tend to wear jeans most days with a brighter coloured top and a long cardi. The jeans & cardi are usually black, but at least the top isn't!

**flowerpots** · 01-03-2011, 07:45 PM

i wear alot of leggings and long shirts im a size 14 on bottom and 16 on top, i also wear alot of tracksuits for work.

**Deb** · 01-03-2011, 07:59 PM

It depends

today jeans and polo shirt from Amaranth. yesterday was skirt and tights with a blouse and heels. Tomorrow is Book Day so I'm dressed as a character from a book yet to be decided. I had thought Ms Trunchbull from Matilida, but doubt anyone will notice the difference lol

New Look have some really pretty dresses at the moment, put with legging (yes i know you said not leggings but they are so comfy) or jeggings (leggings that think they are jeans). New Look also have some long tshirts in, M&S have some too with buttons on the sleeves and tiny pockets- T411498A Scoop Neck Long Roll Up Sleeve T-Shirt with Modal- very cute. Next have a Green dippy hem shirt 435-261-X47 which i love, put it with joggers or baggy trousers and a cardi -yum

I love shopping

**Gherkin** · 01-03-2011, 08:17 PM

Jeans, trainers, t-shirts and hoodie tops for when cold and I haven't got the heating set to tropical!

**charleyfarley** · 01-03-2011, 08:17 PM

I always wear leggings or jeans for my working day along with either a fleece or a sweatshirt from Amaranth

Same here only time i dress up is at xmas and if I am going to the races with my dad

The thing with leggings is that i carry all my weight on my hips, thighs and bottom and tight leggings just draw your attention to them, no?

It's my 30th in a couple of months and i'd love to give myself a new look (any look!) because i'm just awful at the moment! Never have my hair cut- last time was 15mths ago and that was first time since being with DH. I don't wear make up or do any of that 'girlie' stuff and really think i should start making a bit more effort!

That makes me feel really vain

! My hair is cut and coloured every 4 or 5 weeks and I never leave the house without a bit of slap on!

I tend to wear jeans and my logo polo shirt for work but I need to invest in some new ones. My trouble is I tend to like the same things as my 18 year old DD which I think is just plain wrong! Really don't want to look like mutton dressed as lamb

Not vain- you just take care of yourself. I used to be like that but i had kids at 21 and it's gone downhill ever since!

My 30th feels like an opportunity for a new start

i'm a 'pear' too, i just wear tunics or long tshirts, you are only young once (& i'm 53

) and who cares what anyone else thinks anyway. You/I deserve to feel good ....and a few well chosen pieces of clothes make me feel happy

I know what you mean about the hairdressers, its the effort, time and cost
