Worst fashion faux pas?

[trashpony]

I tie-dyed some muslin with reddish-pink dye and made myself a top and skirt and wore them with white footless leggings to Notting Hill Carnival once. And then there was the orange and purple hair. There's many many more I'm sure

I had a penchant for fluorescent green and pink socks once.

those. And green and red jeans. And green denim dungerees.

My mother went through a period of dressing me in brown. She decided it suited me and for a year or so EVERYTHING I owned was brown. It scarred me for life.

70s/80s? I think we may share a mother. I had horrible brown trousers. Now I never wear trousers... or brown!

My mother decided I looked good in green. I fucking hate green clothes now and own not a single item of green clothing (that was 70s/80s too)

gsv's family know a family who were so often turned out in brown that my MIL referred to them as 'The brown people'.

Father turned out decades later to be gay, left his wife and took up a much more flambouyant look.

My worst fashion faux pas was hair-related. Luckily, no photographic proof remains.

Oh God the perm that fell out (on one side only) yep. And the time I tried to highlight my own hair.... never again.

the thing is, that in my teens i was indeed a style disaster and didn't care. for the last decade i have worn nothing more exciting than jeans and t-shirts. but now i'm firmly entrenched in my 30s i've decided to have more fun and not care if i look ridiculous. to this extent i am going to invite marty's mum out on my next clothes buying expedition and let her be my guide.

The white stillettos were a mistake. Everyone ripped the piss out of me that day, at school. I dyed them black in the end and they weren't so bad.

Went clothes shopping today in my laundry day outfit... as in my worst most shitest clothes... I got rather a lot more attention from sales assistants and security guards than I normally do..

I think the first time I met you, you were wearing some kind of toga arrangement!

I went out most nights in bin liners, toilet-pull chains and sellotape, ripped fishnets and dm's in my youth - mid-late 70's, and proudly didnt brush my hair for over a year. I was the only punk known as Crystaltips.

Now it's black and jeans without exception.
