Fashion! (Inspired by the QE secret)

[(Anonymous)]

Bring forth your stories of fashion glory or disaster, oh FS.

Re: Fashion! (Inspired by the QE secret)

I once made the mistake of going to a style consultant. She was exceptionally patronising and horrible - her answer to every outfit quandry was to wear a colourful scarf.

She told me I dressed as if I had no personality - which to be fair isn't necessarily untrue as I lived in jeans and a tee shirt at the time But it was a bit rich coming from a woman whose signature look was rich middle class white woman with colourful scarf accessory Every outfit of hers was tailored trousers, generic top, colourful scarf, expensive stylish handbag. Bleurgh.

The one thing I took away from that appointment was to never dress like her lol!

I did the same once, and had a much better experience. She told me what I could and couldn't wear and sorted out my colours, which has saved me a fuckton of time, money and effort.

The "no personality" comment was a totally unprofessional thing to say. Yes, jeans and t-shirt can be bland but so can plenty of other looks, including her own as you so rightly say. Sounds as though you took the right lesson away from her. I hope you've dressed exactly as you like ever since!

I have, anon :)

I'm glad your appointment was much more helpful!

I loved the late 90s fashions like crop tops worn with long skirts, low rise jeans, flared pants, 70s revival stuff, platform sandals, long tank dresses. I was 20 years younger and 40 pounds lighter than I am today then, too, lol.

I basically never stopped dressing like the late 90s version of the 70s, albeit without ever doing the crop tops.

20 years later and I still dress like the emo/wannabe-goth aesthetic I was rocking back in the early 2000s (not that I'm complaining, the arm warmers are still good for layers during winder and I've been using a lot of my old bandanas as reusable make-shift masks with the recent pandemic).

Same, except I don’t do my eyeliner like that anymore.

I spent most of my childhood wearing floral patterns. Which would be okay, I guess, except I insisted on wearing one kind of floral pattern for a top and then another entirely different, incredibly clashing floral pattern as bottoms.

My shoes had flowers on them too. My headbands as well.

I look at old pictures of me and go 'mom, why' and she's just like 'you wanted to wear it. i warned you.'

Touche, mom. Touche.

You know, pattern mixing is actually considered quite chic at the moment - you were just ahead of your time!

My one very glorious fashion fail from childhood. So I had this very floofy slip that was for wearing under dresses, obviously. But I used to play pretend a lot and use it as a skirt when I made up stories. So one day I wore it as a skirt to school. The administration freaked out. I got sent to the principle's office. My parents got a strongly worded call.

Even after my mother explained that I really thought it was a skirt, the school was not happy with me. I was sent home for the day, and the principal didn't like me much after that. He wasn't big on the idea of making up stories anyway. This was a Christian school, and he thought the idea sounded sketchy. I was in third grade. Don't most third graders play pretend of some kind?

Re: Fashion! (Inspired by the QE secret)

That's insane. Who cares what children wear!?

Re: Fashion! (Inspired by the QE secret)

And it wasn't like this was an immodest thing either. This was a long slip that went below my knees and wasn't remotely see-through. The entire objection was that its function was being a slip.

Oh yes, and this is the same school that blamed me for being bullied and told my mother that she needed to buy me new clothes and that if she did that I wouldn't be bullied anymore (didn't work of course, they found new things to bully me for). Also, my rainbow shorts were awesome, don't care what the other kids thought.

There was about two years in high school where I dressed like Buffy Summers (because I wanted to be Buffy Summers). I mainly mimicked her S1 and S2 style: tiny little mini skirts and spaghetti strap tops and tall boots and chunky rings and fluffy bangs styled with mouse and a round brush. Also, I had so many cross necklaces, which makes me cringe now because I’m honestly not a fan of religion, and I’m sure everyone at school thought I was super Christian due to all the cross jewelry.


One fashion victory for me was when I got booked to be a 70’s era background extra, and they asked everyone to try to bring their most “seventies” wardrobe options. So I did. And when I got there everyone was being made to change into wardrobe provided by the production because nobody looked 70’s enough, but they took one look at me and were like, “You dressed yourself?” And then they dragged me over to more wardrobe people and were like, “Look at this! It’s perfect!” And then later on set a couple of other BG came up to me and were like, “You did that outfit yourself? That’s all your stuff? It looks so legit.”

I remember there was a line from a later season of Buffy about how a lot of the kids from the high school had thought Buffy must have been super-religious.

In high school (circa 1981-85) I was sent home a few times for wearing miniskirts and Dead Kennedys and Circle Jerks tees. I consider those instances Fashion Triumphs.
