How the hell...?
that's what I'm saying! I think it cost $3. I don't know, I got it in either New Bedford or Fall River, Massachusetts, and I can't explain why it was there, but after much thrifting experience one can sorta pick out good quality items just going on the fabric, and then I looked at the tag & said hey.. WTF? it's got a little snag on the sleeve that I should have repaired, I think it's where the fools stapled a tag on there. you know, I think it was even half price as it had been there a while.

Revive! Turn to the left, goon squad coming to town, yada yada.
Me, today: black Cheap Monday jeans, black and metallic gold Jean Michel Basquiat T-shirt made by friends (so not the ones that are currently £12 at Uniqlo), Goody hairslide, black ballet flats, accessorized with a round velveteen handbag from the Muji outlet shop at Whiteley's (which I recommend because it's LOL cheap).
Uniqlo Keith Haring shirt purchase y/n?
― suzy, Thursday, 22 May 2008 14:16 (eighteen years ago)
I'm wearing M&S gear.
― snoball, Thursday, 22 May 2008 15:00 (eighteen years ago)
pics plz
― kenan, Thursday, 22 May 2008 15:56 (eighteen years ago)
Nah, pics are for WDYLL.
― suzy, Thursday, 22 May 2008 15:57 (eighteen years ago)
I'm wearing my standard issue gear for mornings when I have no school and no job - blue/white plaid pajama pants and a coffee stained t-shirt.
― Z S, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:02 (eighteen years ago)
Suzy, yes buy the Uniqlo t-shirt. I got three great ones from the Japanese Pop Culture series in Hong Kong last year (£3 each!) They're pretty well made and don't do that twisty seam thing.
I'm just back from moving out of/decorating my old flat so I'm wearing crappy old clothes: Nike Airs that need to be thrown, paint-spattered Warehouse jean, nylon vintage sports shirt thing, a 14-year-old Manchester uni hoodie and a white i-pattern watch.

cyan and blue stripes
black jeans
red deck shoes

M, YAY new flat, is it in the same part of town as the old one?
I just came back from charity shop, where I have just scored, also for £3, an Eley Kishimoto printed cardigan.
― suzy, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:14 (eighteen years ago)
Excellent score!
I have moved from East to West and in with him indoors. It is quite different -- much more bustly and there is no longer the grim inevitability of being woken from my weekend lie-ins by the pipes and drums of the grim orangers over the next couple of months. Also I am about 50 yards from one of the three greatest cheese shops in the UK, which is quite nice.
― Madchen, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:23 (eighteen years ago)
ps. PF, cyan and blue is a great combo.
― Madchen, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:24 (eighteen years ago)
is that a joke?
I meant cyan and white, sorry.
― the pinefox, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:29 (eighteen years ago)

^^^ the English supply teacher look.
M&S black jeans, brown M&S t-shirt which helpfully has "T-SHIRT" printed inside the collar in case you forget what it is.
― snoball, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:59 (eighteen years ago)
Not a joke at all! I thought you meant cyan and a darker blue, like royal or navy. But I do think cyan and pretty much anything is great. Even eyepopping cyan and red.
― Madchen, Thursday, 22 May 2008 17:10 (eighteen years ago)
those "engineered" levi's or whatever the fuck they are called. some grey printed sneakers some weirdo green sweater (which my mum gave)
i don't give a shit about clothes anymore. i could live in nice jeans with a black t-shirt for the rest of my life.
― stevienixed, Thursday, 22 May 2008 19:09 (eighteen years ago)

― stevienixed, Thursday, 22 May 2008 19:13 (eighteen years ago)
i like black tops a lot. especially on girls. i love tight dark jeans and a hot black top, i just think that's the greatest outfit. with like black heels, and a tan.
― Surmounter, Thursday, 22 May 2008 19:13 (eighteen years ago)

I did for years, but got fed up looking like an extra in The Matrix. A fat extra in The Matrix. So recently I've gone for the "youngish-to-middle-aged fart @ M&S" look.
― snoball, Thursday, 22 May 2008 19:14 (eighteen years ago)
lol "a fat extra in The Matrix" is a great description. very vivid
― Surmounter, Thursday, 22 May 2008 19:15 (eighteen years ago)
Well, they say black is slimming, but if you're a little overweight then instead you look like Martin Clunes.
― snoball, Thursday, 22 May 2008 19:16 (eighteen years ago)
omg

the casual victoria beckham.
― lauren, Thursday, 22 May 2008 19:19 (eighteen years ago)
I have no tan, I'm fat (next to Vicky, but then who isn't?) and I don't wear high heels (my feet are finally suffering after years of standing in a shop).
My Levi's make me look extremely slim. My very critical friend even mentioned I looked great. I was like WTF uh no. :-) Well, I do actually look slim in my jeans.
I need new sneakers. I can't wear proper shoes anymore cause my one toe is numb (!!!!). Something to do with a fucked up nerve or something.
