"I like to look different
I like good quality
I like figure hugging
I like black, red, orange and green.
"
Different from others? Or different styles of clothing for yourself? |

And it can be fun having company, make a day of it. |

I think individuality is important and clothing is a way to express that.
I couldn't do the North Face thing so many wore an item from (a London thing) too robotic, at least choose a different brand!

Do you like the ‘I’m a walking advert’ look? Brand names splattered all over the clothes? |

I never liked or bothered about clithes..so long as they were dark coloured keeping me hidden even in a crowded city then I had a meltdown..found all Id lived before was a lie..a cover up of my past to protect me..total meltdown...the outcome was the REAL ME! I love now to stand out, to look and feel as sexy as a person of my age can..I love colour and the weirdest thing after coming out the other side of my meltdown is that I have a creative knowledge of clothes and my gf says I know better than she does what suits and doesn t suit. I started to buy cheap boring stuff and then convert and fancy them up..to the point a local out of the box fashion shop photographed me as their model of the day in a coat I d altered and customised and have offered to sell anything I make. Its nothing to sit with gf and her mum talking clothes and stitches and designs..I love this new and proper me  |

For me if a brand name is on the outer clothing it's logo must have style and be small and subtle. |

I’ll often go with opinion of a good flamboyant sales assistant on a high end suit or my daughter on shoes, jeans , shirts, ties, they tend to dress me like my character deserves rather than my tendency to be a little conservative / business minded. I love West African influences on our style of clothing , it’s hard to find the tailors here though. Also Italian silk and leather is good. |

I shop the same 5/6 brands of vintage inspired clothes either in the sale or second hand. I have same wardrobe in summer as I do in winter (just wear a cardigan with then in winter). And again same for daytime or evening only difference is shoes/accessories.
So before I buy anything new I ask myself do I really want it, will it suit all year round, will it look good day and night. |

You sound like you could give excellent clothing advice and help others save money for different things! |
