Regrettable fashion sense

Just a bit of fun, but come on, confess your fashion faux pas. I’ve never followed trends anyway, always gone my own way, but even I cringe when I look at some old images.

Used to have a bib-n-brace dress from the seventies. Velvet pattern, designed to look like patchwork. I loved it! Wore it with calf length buckled boots and hot pants beneath it (it was very short, and my grandparents were strict Catholic, was a respect thing).

What do you regret wearing that someone took a photo of/ remembers you wearing, so you can’t deny it x

My mum is conservative in her dress style. I’ve always been less so. When my mates were in jeans as a kid, I was in 50’s style swing skirts. Now my mum just rolls her eyes xx

In cave behind a waterfall on a hill

Hair half way down my back, blowing backwards in the breeze, bright orange too. Cheesecloth shirt ripped Jean's boots sunglasses and an old motorbike

Looked like a fucking Afghan hound with its head out of a car window....

I just look horrendous. My face doesn't suit it. It was a teenager spontaneous decision. I was 14. Cried for days lol. Funny enough few friends followed the trend.. and they dared to look better

My mother is an explosion in a jumble sale kind of fashion. I didnt own a pair of jeans till I was about 20. Mufti day at school was always painful as I only owned flared skirts and jumpers. Years in jeans now I want all my skirts back

I didn’t own any jeans until I was 16 and my aunty put me in a pair, I was happier in hippy skirts or long lace dresses. Remember going to town one day, when I was 17, in a long black lace ball gown, leather ballet shoes and a black veil. My mum cringed xx

Lol. I remember having my hair blow dried straight at the hairdressers when I was 19. Was below my bum and thick curls. My aunty saw it and said all I needed was the glasses and I’d look like Nana Mouskouri. I was mortified! Went straight home and washed it so had my curls back xx

Oh fucking loads. Purple crimplene trousers with a violet and purple striped shirt with platform shoes. Tartan Birmingham bags and a fly away colour psychedelic shirt. An aubergine double breasted suit that I thought was ace

My fashion sense is quirky and doesn’t follow a trend although I can dress safely if needs be
