Wouldn’t be seen dead in

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.

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.

Lucca, I'm flattered, thank you.

Thank you for those kind comments. Much appreciated.

Mollyplop. My son and a friend do similar with men’s shoes they consider to be hideous !
I wonder what they would make of the shoes that I posted previously?

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

Agreed

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!

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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)

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Big knickers

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

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

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.

Marydoll

If I take notice of all the pet hates on here, I will need to go out wearing a black bin bag! I obviously have absolutely no taste! ?

I have a feeling you have excellent taste

Took the very words out of my mouth, Marydoll......but my personal fashion police aka my 4 daughters seem to think I look half decent so I’m inclined to just ignore all comments here and stick with what I’m doing!

Big knickers

No! Tiny knickers are a no-no for me (or rather an impossibility)
