This week’s question over at the Weekly Wednesday Blogging Challenge is one that made me cackle out loud! Describe Your Fashion Sense because dear god I do not have one. I have absolutely no sense of fashion at ALL
I don’t think I’ve ever dressed ‘fashionably’. I am a plus-sized llama with even bigger boobs. I have always had boobs, I was like a DD by the time I was 14/15 so I’ve never been able to wear general high-street fashion because it’s literally not designed to fit me. And even if it was, I plain Did Not Like It At All which, since hindsight has 20/20 vision, is because I was looking at women’s clothing.
So, I basically live in either geeky or band t-shirts, a pair of jeans if I have to leave the house, otherwise nice comfy sweatpants. I wear bright colours, usually many layers – a plain long-sleeve shirt under the aforementioned t-shirt is my standard, with a plaid shirt/hoodie/jumper depending on the temperature. I’ve recently fallen in love with Run & Fly or Lucy & Yak dungarees but they are not cheap. Most of my clothes are thrifted. I do love knee-high brightly coloured, preferably stripey socks.
I’m a lapsed goth. My favourite shop as a teen was United Colours of Benetton – and I had these amazing rainbow-striped pants. I was emo/scene in my mid-20s. I aspire to a Vibrant Academia aesthetic kind of style. But mostly, I want to be comfortable and warm!
