I just picked up a couple of vivid punchy shirts from a specialist in distinctive shirts. I'm happy dressing boldly from time to time. And a really funky shirt or jacket will often make me smile too.
I have a few Sgt pepper style jackets that I wear to parties some times. I also have this military jacket that I plastered with weird corporate badges. I wore it out to a dub reggae anti-racism night and got loads of looks... I thought in appreciation for looking super cool. Then on the walk home I overheard a guy in the street saying to his mate "isn't that a luftwaffe jacket?". When I got back I Googled it and found to my horror that I'd just been to an anti-racist gig dressed as a fucking nazi  haha  |

I was at a Christening yesterday dressed in a big frock with bigger hair. A couple of d up blondes with their jumpsuits up their arsecracks said... ‘we couldn’t pull off that look. It’s nice to see someone who dresses different’ I held my tongue.
But yeah. Totally pulled it off. |

Throughout the course of a week I usually manage mumsy, demure, fashionable, out there, a hot mess, a Jeremy Kyle rejected contestant and sexy wife just depends what the laundry basket and bottom of the wardrobe are offering up first |

I’m reasonably fashionable without trying desperately to look hip. I love clothes and enjoy buying new things. When I wear something new I feel Uber-confident and strut like a peacock.
I’ve not had any particular disasters, although one tie-dyed shirt does make me shudder in a “what were you thinking” kind of way.
Sometimes I go for rock star chic, leather biker jacket with skinny jeans and a tshirt. Other times I will go for a more relaxed, preppie look or a 60’s vibe from Ted Baker or Pretty Green. I only wear sportswear in the gym and men over 30 should be banned from wearing it outside in the daylight! |

I hate fashion with a passion. I often appear to dress like a 3 year old, short cute dress, halo or star wars hoody, odd baseball boots and fluffy socks, well it is cold now ya know. If I like it, I wear it! I look weird dressed normally and the fashionable stuff is disgustingly shapeless so that is a massive no too |

My wardrobe is pretty much on the formal side of things. Mainly long dark pants, dress shirts in six different colours both light and dark, a light gray summerweight blazer from Topman, a dark burgundy winterweight blazer from Slaters, a Greenwoods overcoat and a Zara camel trenchcoat. Also a couple polo shirts for the summer, a three-piece navy suit for proper formal occasions, three ties of different designs and colours (but mostly solid colour palettes or muted patterns), and perhaps the most casual of all clothing I own: a gray Game Of Thrones hoodie with the House Stark logo on it.
However, I do adore accessorising my outfit up with stuff such as lapel pins, brooches and hatwear. I always wear one of my signature gold jet fighter lapel pins on the collar of my dress shirts (feel naked without them! A hangover from my army days.), and I have at least two GoT Hand Of The King brooches in different sizes for either my blazers or overcoat. And the best accessory I have would be me carrying off wearing a white Russian ushanka in winter to keep my head nice and toasty warm. It's an absolute showstopper anywhere I go and I'm extremely proud of it.
My mantra for dressing is to imagine putting on a uniform or suit of armor in front of the mirror. Everything should fit well, make me look smart and sharp, and give me an air of being in charge whenever I walk into a room. And most importantly, I must look like I'm dressed more expensively than what I actually spent on my clothing! So far I'm glad that it's worked fine. I do get complimented on my dress sense a lot both at Fab socials and in normal life, although I did have to entertain jokes about potentially being gay because I put so much effort in my dressing! |

I go to the shops in rubber, vinyl,pvc or leather .. I don't give a fuck about what anybody thinks of my fashion because it isn't fashion. It is me..

I'm not edgy at all but I don't conform to what people expect of a woman my age.
