I'm not cool enough for skinny jeans, and if I was I wouldn't want to be

[venta]

Tell me, o LJ, what are you wearing today?

I have on grey skinny jeans, grey boots, and a fluffy black and white jumper with a panda on it. I'm not usually a big fan of the animal jumper, but I think this one manages to be fluffy without being too cutesy. Also, I like pandas. I admire their approach to eye make-up.

I have accessorised with a selection of purple and yellow bruises on both wrists, and a small blue bruise on my forehead. Rapper is not a safe hobby. As usual, I have a silver 'E' pendant round my neck, and silver studs in my ears. I'm wearing a small analogue watch, because my smartwatch is bust at the moment.

On the way to the office I also had on one of those new-fangled lightweight down jackets that seem to be everywhere this winter. In a fashion-item-is-practical shocker, they're bloody great.

I'm wearing a light floral dress and my gardening shoes, and when I went outside i was wearing an orange Cardigan that doesn't match and is a horrible colour but I like the shape.

Basically, I've got to the stage where i don't care what i look like, just how comfortable i am.

[venta.livejournal.com]

A light dress? Think it must be warmer where you are!

I would argue that feeling good is way more important than looking good :)

I am very happy with what I'm wearing today, so I'm glad you asked! My outfit consists of a bright turquoise/teal "Bardot-style" jumper (which basically just means it has a sort of wide boat neck), with a below-knee-length tweed skirt in shades of blue and green, sheer flesh-toned (skin-toned, really; flesh-tones would be, like, bloody and gross) tights, and black knee-high high heeled boots. The jumper is from Tesco, and the skirt was a charity shop find which probably cost me a fiver (I can't remember exactly; I have a _lot_ of assorted tweed skirts from charity shops!).

[venta.livejournal.com]

Wow, you sound like you look good :)

I like wide neck jumpers, but only own one (black). I should perhaps branch out!

A black shirt that does up with a zip, passed on by my mum as she didn't wear it any more. I'm pretty sure I remember her in it when I was at school so it may well be over 20 years old. Nondescript beige chinos from the sample sale when I worked at the White Company (£1). Cheap shoes from SportsDirect I keep in the office to change out of bike boots into. Socks with embroidered Vulcan bombers. Orange Swatch watch and my great-grandfather's signet ring, which is on permanently and I tape over for karate.

[venta.livejournal.com]

Socks with V-bombers? You win.

[motodraconis.livejournal.com]

I'm wearing the usual; leggings, tunic top, and as I'm at home, one of my dad's old cashmere jumpers AND a poncho and fluffy slippers. No jewellery or bra (le shock) as I never wear such things when working at home, everything has to be baggy and comfy and not distracting.

I don't do Clovember because I tend to wear the same thing week in week out with only minor variations. It's not all ball gowns.

Nice touch on the rainbow bruises!

[venta.livejournal.com]

Sounds like my standard work-from-home garb!

[exspelunca.livejournal.com]

Scruff order - old black trousers, ancient cream trainers, blouse that cost £1 in a Barnsley mill shop aeons ago and an M&S round-necked jumper. It's a housework morning.

[venta.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, housework. I remember that. Must do some, some day!

[sammason.livejournal.com]

Your outfit sounds lovely in an 80s-retro way. Are you calling down jackets new-fangled?

Since you ask I'm wearing a dark red skirt, with medium-sized black polka dots and narrow black ribbons around its hem. The skirt was from Nomads. It's A line and knee length. Not really a winter skirt but it belongs in winter because it wants black accessories (today, long-sleeved t-shirt and cardigan; knee-length boots; medium-weight tights).

[venta.livejournal.com]

Down jackets have been around for ever, I grant you :) I think the particular style might be new, though, and the fact they are ubiquitous and affordable definitely is!

[bibliogirl.livejournal.com]

Blue jeans -- which probably count as skinny -- plain black T-shirt from Tesco as it was the first one off the rack this morning, and I've not bothered putting my lenses in yet, so glasses. Bare feet as is usual when I'm at home (which is mostly, since I work from there).

This lot has not yet been accessorised by a light (or not so light) dusting of cat hair since Small Cat is still in her morning spot on the spare bed and Large Cat is hanging out with G in his office on the other side of the house.

Exceptionally dull, I grant you, but it covers the necessary bits and keeps me sufficiently warm ;)

[venta.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure for which bits coverage is necessary when working from home with only husband and cats to observe :)

[beingcrazy2912.livejournal.com]

Pandas definitely have cute Eye make-up! :)
Feel like cuddling them every time. Such cute creatures!

[venta.livejournal.com]

Surely they are cuddly. All this about being bears and biting is just bad press :)

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

Blue socks, Burgundy velvet trousers, a Discworld Convention 1996 tshirt, and a black zip-up hoodie. Plus a scrunchy, and nail varnish.

[venta.livejournal.com]

Velvet trousers, very swish :)

[venta.livejournal.com]

Colleague A just interrupted me working to say "awesome jumper". He then pointed it out to colleague B. B is probably the closest my office has to a power-dresser and she looked hugely underwhelmed by my panda :)

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Brown ankle boots, brown leggings, short turquoise skirt (this one but three years ago's colour), dark blue top with butterflies made of map (or vice versa) on it, sadly covered by faded greyish-blue long sleeved top. I should probably have put blue or grey or black leggings on, but I dressed my bottom half first!

[(Anonymous)]

Black M&S pants, black nursing bra, black socks with grey heel and toe, black gypsy style T-shirt, black craghoppers hiking trousers, black zip up hoodie. I seem to be a little more black than usual. I wore my bright pink Rab waterproof jacket and black with pink details North Face hiking shoes when we went out earlier.

Accessorised with earrings, nose stud, and Timex analogue watch, plus two white gold rings.

Black heavy wool (Cure-type) jumper on over a light green t-shirt with a bear on it (had to check it wasn't visible through the jumper when I left to work, since I have meetings today). Boring work trousers. New DMs that have only just been broken in.

The panda jumper sounds good. I'm looking forward to wearing my one with a giant ant pattern knitted into it when it gets a bit colder.

[venta.livejournal.com]

Yay. I think I've met that bear :)

You win the first-boy-to-answer award. Hitherto today I had discussed clothes exclusively with girls and source code control systems (on my other post) exclusively with boys. Which was a bit too classic gender divide for comfort.

[vicarage.livejournal.com]

Gardening black chinos, stripy red shirt with collar coming off, sweatshirt.

All my clothes go from scruffy to very scruffy. I try to be merely scruffy when meeting people who know me.

[venta.livejournal.com]

What is your scruff level meeting people who don't know you?

[ringbark.livejournal.com]

Slip-on black shoes from Shoezone.
Blue denim jeans from M&S, by no stretch of the imagination skinny.
Black leather belt.
Grey Hard Rock Cafe Malta t shirt.
Glasses, watch, socks, underwear, TMI.

[venta.livejournal.com]

The TMI suits you

[kotturinn.livejournal.com]

At the time you posted this I was wearing a selection of things that most people would have put in the washing basket yesterday - jumble-sale cream coloured bodywarmer, long-sleeved green t-shirt, black jogging trousers, grey socks - and a pair of grubby velcro-strap shoes as I was about to go and weed/spread compost/relocate raspberry canes and generally get down and dirty in the back garden of Fen Cottage, Wicken Fen.

I'm now, back home and post damn good wash, wearing mid-brown ex-charity-shop trousers, black long-sleeved t-shirt and a pair of nearly-worn-out green socks.

I'm definitely with the don't care what I look like provided I'm comfortable brigade.

[venta.livejournal.com]

There seems to have been a lot of gardening (and associated garb) going on today!

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Somewhat faded black Uniqlo (the only brand that actually fits properly) jeans, Gap stretchy t-shirt, scruffy runners. Lidl 'spicy red' nail varnish under OPI black shatter ditto. Lidl nailie seems pretty bad.

[venta.livejournal.com]

Every time I try anything on from Uniqlo I conclude that they make clothes for people who don't have arses. Maybe my arse is just the wrong shape, or in the wrong place, or something :(

[rapperaddict.livejournal.com]

When did you get the bruise on the forehead? Usually head shots result in some sort of protest noise and I don't remember one. Mind, I think hearing is deteriorating.

[venta.livejournal.com]

First dance on Sunday, I think. In context, a smack on the head was really the least of my problems :-)

[damerell.livejournal.com]

I am wearing a black t-shirt, black jeans, and black British army surplus boots. I have completed this ensemble with black socks and black M&S pants.

But you knew all that anyway.

[venta.livejournal.com]

Wot no Zombina?

Also, I had no idea where you bought your pants.
