Watching repeats of the great British sewing bee(even though I don’t sew). They made a blouse with a pussy bow tie. I realised I’d never ever wear one. What would you never wear ?

I swelter in any man made fibres which is a real pain. I can tolerate 5% of a fabric that allows a little bit of stretchiness for comfort but that is all. It does limit my choices somewhat.

I can’t wear trousers either and often find I am the lone skirt wearer in the room.

real fur

That dress worn by Julia Somerville looked like a giant Margaret Thatcher handbag.
I wouldn’t be seen dead in a bikini, must remember to tell my children I don’t want to be buried in one.

That made me laugh and my OH jump!!

Anything made of a fabric which is not linen, wool, cotton or silk. Tight tops, sleeveless tops and dresses. High heeled shoes. Dresses which button down the front, backless dresses, flesh coloured tights.

Laura norder. Did you ?

Lucca Tue 20-Oct-20 22:27:31

All this business of not liking bits of ones body is distressing isn’t it? I don’t like my knees either and I hate my arms, not so much bingo wings as bingo aircraft. Face is a disaster zone . I have nice feet and ears.

And I do Lucca
I don't like my knees and don't like skirts much either.

LauraNorder Tue 20-Oct-20 21:29:06

Lucca sorry for previously lowering the tone on your thread.
No, I would never wear a pussy bow tie, anything frilly or sparkly, anything short, off the shoulder or tight fitting.
Wouldn't wear anything antwacky either.

Lucca Tue 20-Oct-20 21:04:31

Hmm. Sorry but I wear cropped trousers in the summer. Nice ones though.

Curlywhirly Tue 20-Oct-20 20:56:44

Baggy tops
Anything with an elasticated waist
Leather trousers
Crocs
Onesies
Mid-calf cropped trousers
Jogging bottoms/pants (would only wear them if doing exercise).
Crop tops
Mini skirts.
However, I can get away with wearing jeans and sometimes leggings or jeggings as I am only a size 8 at the bottom, the top half is however another story! I do love animal print and even have an animal print blouse with a pussybow tie! I also love beige (with navy or black) and high heels (though can't walk far in them these days ?). Each to their own eh!

AGA I had you in mind when I wrote it but am too refined and discrete to mention your bloomers, so left them out, as you often do too.
I am a fan of the German t-shirt label Disselstopitdroppin, you should try them Lemon they have a wipeable piece over the bazoom area.
Can I add nose and lip piercings especially those little studs that look like a spot that needs popping or is clothes only.

Yelllow - just not 'my' colour!

lemongrove Tue 20-Oct-20 20:14:15

Yes Lisa ( apart from duffel coats)?

DillytheGardener Tue 20-Oct-20 20:13:36

lemongrove bazooms made me laugh, mine catch all manner of things too!

I wouldn’t be caught dead in,
Frills,
Capped sleeves
Puffy sleeves

However I love lashings of sparkles and leopard print which I’m sure must feature on somes absolutely not lists!

Lisagran Tue 20-Oct-20 20:11:31

Basically, lemongrove, Argy gear......

Reubenblue Tue 20-Oct-20 20:11:22

Black trousers and a baggy top

Anything beige

Terrified of wearing ‘ old woman uniform’. smile

lemongrove Tue 20-Oct-20 20:04:38

Leather trousers/ pale leggings/ boob tubes/ highheels with jeans/ anoraks/hairbands/ hairslides/ berets/tan tights/ faux fur coats/duffel coats/ pussycat bow blouses/spandex/ Christmas jumpers/ sequinned anything/ coats with huge collars.
If I put my mind to it am sure I can come up with loads more.
?

lemongrove Tue 20-Oct-20 19:57:21

That’s my only reason for not wearing white Callistemon
Although the sauce hits my bazooms first, so trousers/ jeans may be safe ( until I sit down on a sticky chair somewhere.)

Callistemon Tue 20-Oct-20 19:52:46

My friend wears white linen trousers and I thought she looked very stylish.

I don't wear them because they don't look so good with bolognaise sauce or wine spilled on them.

Jaxjacky Tue 20-Oct-20 19:47:36

Crocs, cardigans that don’t do up BlueBelle, puffa jackets, nightwear, pop socks, beige, halter necks, those bras that have multiple straps for various options..nooo!
Ok, done now ?

QuaintIrene Tue 20-Oct-20 19:44:02

White linen trousers.
Yuk.

sodapop Tue 20-Oct-20 19:41:06

I wouldn't be seen in
Leather trousers
White leggings
Mini skirt
Anything frilly or fussy

I do wish I could drape a scarf or pashmina elegantly around me, I love the look and other women look glamorous but not me.

Luckygirl Tue 20-Oct-20 19:33:57

High heels
Frilly stuff
Tight skirt

Claudia Winkleman’s pyjama suit made out of sweet wrappers - on Strictly last Saturday.

NanKate Tue 20-Oct-20 19:17:40

Anything brown or yellow.
