Wouldn’t be seen dead in

Prue Leith my style too - such beautiful joyous colours! I also admire Angela Rippon's colourful approach as well. For me nothing black, brown or fawn. No ghastly floral prints, frills, décolletage necklines (common), sleeveless tops or clinging clothing. And no hipsters/short rise trousers/jeans that make even tall girls look as if their legs have been chopped.

DINAHMO. I love prue leith specs too. I believe they cost many hundreds of pounds! I have a few Cheapies

Big knickers

Well, I wouldn't be seen anywhere in big knickers either, so I cover them up with trousers or a skirt!

Jeans, leggings, jogging bottoms, tee-shirts with writing or pictures on them, polyester scarves, plastic handbags. Years ago I would have included flat shoes but, alas, the years have caught up with me and I have no choice - but I still hanker for a really high heel!

Anything uncomfortable.
That includes 'sexy' underwear, any heels at all, anything with frills or bows.
Anything with 'cute' animals or positive slogans written in curly writing.
Anything that shows any part of me off.

I wear jeans all the time, I also wear skirt and dresses .when I get chance to go somewhere smart (not recently). I wear a lot of pink too, in fact it's my first colour choice.. I rarely wear black, I'm in my 70's but I think it makes me look old. I'd never wear bear shoulder tops. There's nothing wrong with my shoulders I'd just be cold.

Jeggings. I have a fat bum and fat legs, made worse by swelling around my shins and ankles due to a heart condition. The very thought of myself in jeggings makes me want to laugh.

Any of the ‘jewellery’ that’s advertised on the back of weekend magazines.

A pencil skirt
High heels
Any clothing made of leather
Pyjamas (the trousers twist around my legs so the seam is in all the wrong places)

Lucca a friend and I used to have a competition to see who could spot and photograph the most hideous fleece! I've seen some corkers

Mollyplop. My son and a friend do similar with men’s shoes they consider to be hideous !

A bikini, shorts, the sort of dresses and suits my grandmothers wore (think the Queen Mother or Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple.)

Any nightwear worn downstairs during day. Night, says it all!
Polyester-sweaty fabric
Anything that is close fitting, I like clothes that drift.
Frills, gathers, seams across the body.
Sadly heels now. Last time I wore them going out for dinner, I felt like Dick Emery.
Anything that might look as if it could have come from a "classic" range.
Beige anything
Anything described as cosy or warm or thermal. Brings on my version of "claustrophobia" - fear of suffocation.

I wonder what they would make of the shoes that I posted previously?

I wear my crocs on the beach to save my feet from the hot sand and the stones in the sea. I swim in them. In my bikini.

That's an image that will stay with you!

Anything off the shoulder, including cold shoulder tops
Handkerchief hemlines
And crop tops. I was going to say 'of course' but then realised some grandmothers are actually very young!

Yes, I had to do a double take to believe it. Who is advising her? Lots of presenters (especially the local weather girls) need fashion advice!

Agreed

Your shoes are fine as you wear them with the correct trousers.

Lucca, I'm flattered, thank you.

Those dreadful fleeces with howling wolves have had a few mentions. I'm trying to imagine someone very glamorous like Sophia Loren in one - and I just can't as it conjures up such an odd image.

There's a pop up advertising a ladies shirt/blouse with a Halloween theme. It looks crumpled, possible deliberately, maybe it's linen. Saying that I don't like it will put me out on a limb. Reason being, I have a Halloween shirt that my wife made for me. It depicts sexy witches and it's certainly not everyone's cup of tea. But at least my shirt looks like it's been well made.
