What are you - heh heh - wearing right now?

I haven't worn shoes for ages. I'm lucky enough to wear trainers at work (grey and blue etnies). Shoes are rubbish, trainers are great and being able to wear them at work is like summer holiday all year round.

I retract my accusation, Mark, it's just you did say men's, women's, cheap and expensive shoes were ugly, so I just thought, y'know.....

I love shoes, I have 20 pairs and would have way more if I didn't throw half of them out and could afford more.

Lounging around clothes: Um, whatever's available. When I was working out last night I had on my grey sweatpant-material-shorts on (they're cute, drawstring waist, from the GAP, cost me $5) and my white Board Girl t-shirt with blue trim on the cuff and neckline. During the winter I almost invariably wear the same sort of top (tight t-shirt or camisole) with these fucking enormous fuzzy black GAP pajama bottoms. They're waaaay too big on me, which is amazing.

Going out clothes: Changes a lot. I have vowed to NEVER AGAIN wear my old favorite going out outfit, which was a black wrap shirt, black skirt and fishnet stockings with my whore shoes, ever ever again because every time I do it pours rain and my friends force me to march places that are dirty and disgusting and I end up sleeping in them. So I don't wear that. Last time I went out-out I wore my GAP ultra-low-rider jeans, my posh spice sandals (thus named, incidentally, cos they look like the ones posh wears in the Spice liner, ankle band plus single band over the toe, with 4 inch heel), and some black shirt. Next time I go out-out, which will be this weekend, I want to wear my pirate shirt, which is this wicked cool white see-thru blouse with ruffles, it kicks the ass of all other white shirts. I like to wear jeans with heels. Otherwise it's knee- length skirts, I don't "do" miniskirts cos my thighs are enormous. I also wear corsets going out every once and a while, though I haven't found a place nice enough to wear my blue one yet.

are trainers not shoes?

Oddly enough, last night while drinking some milk I was considering starting a Shoes CLassic or Dud thread.

I guess this will sound rather calm in comparison. Black Cocteau Twins shirt from 1993, longer but not baggy tan shorts, dark green boxers, Tevas. And glasses. The end. I love California summers.

Wardrobe: over a hundred tour/band shirts from here, there and everywhere, about eight pairs of shorts (varying colors) and a similar number of pants (predominantly black, white and tan), about eight to ten formal dress or informal but buttoned shirts (mostly black and white, long and short sleeve both), fancy dress suit good for weddings, old blazer from my grandfather also useful, about eight sweaters of varying styles/colors, a very nice parka jacket, two pairs of black Reeboks, a load of variously colored socks and boxers, this, that, the other...

I am wearing Laundry Day attire: old Manga Schoolgirl t-shirt, APC cords c. '95, pseudoprada loafers. Have to change to go and conduct interview so will wear brown Muji blouse bought in sale, red leather '80s skirt, red skinny belt, beige fishnet knee-highs, stilettos or morphish French Connection patent boots. Usually when I am on here it's pajama time, red Karate pajamas bought in 13th arrondisement Paris Chinatown. The bomb.

The ultimate footwear is a pair of Doctor Marten's boots. So there.

Why bother with Docs? Just go to the Army/Navy store and buy a pair of combats. Well constructed to withstand anything (I mean, combat and all), look similar but not as "That's so 1992 grunge scene" and cost less.

Last night I treid to do the laundry at midnight but our STUPID building's second washer was BUSTED so I had to take twice as long and didnt get to bed til 3:30! I dont even feel that tired althouh I got up at 7:30. I am also gettin g rid of some shirts of anyone's interested.

Ha ha Mike! As a member of the English aristocracy I have my very own washing machine and can do my laundry whenever the hell I like.

I won't shop at my local A&N store, they fly a big Union Jack outside the shop and are obviously military nuts, so as you can imagine I don't trust them. Besides, balls to grunge, they've been around since 1960, and I like them.

"obviously military nuts": it would be the big Union Jack that finally gave the game away, then?

Suppose so...military nuts + no problem flying the Union Jack in an area with a significant ethnic population = bad news. No money for them.

The english aristocracy? More like the Odd Teethed People of PLanet Pale

An A&N which flew the Jamaican flag! I would so shop there!!

You'll have to search far and wide for that Mark, except perhaps in Jamaica.

Well of course military nuts shop at the A&N store for god's sake, that's what it's for.

Faded green socks, my Lee Cooper jeans, pants, a Kandinsky T-shirt, and my blue, red and white check shirt (£5 from Camdem market), and a wooly hat.

I went to P.S. 1 Sunday and spent most of my time there in the Uniforms exhibit. One room had old copies of the Face from the eighties. I'd forgotton how big all that camouflage type stuff was.

I'd have died in a uniforms exhibit.

Where else can you buy trandy unexploded shells?

I used to live right across the road from PS 1... weex!

I have some astonishingly tight metallicy jeans that I never wear to work.

What, Nick, you as well? Paul has a pair of those we got in NYC. I practically had to pry him out of them for a few weeks, now he never wears them. Which is a shame, really. More boys should wear astonishingly tight silver trousers. Mmmm.

You wouldnt say that if you could see my blobby womanish hips.

God, Kate, no, I used to know a bloke at college who always (and I do mean always) wore silver leather-style kecks which he claimed offered 'sealed in freshness' (like PG teabags or something). I have it on good authority that whatever he had sealed in, it wasn't fresh.

I own 12 sarongs :
6 black ( one with dragons) , 3 red , 2 blue and 1 bubblegum pink.

I do not know why or how i bolded it sorry

What on earth is rickrack?

rickrack \Rick"rack`\, n. A kind of openwork edging made of serpentine braid.

Yeah, it's like the jaggedy silver stuff that was stitched around the uniform cuffs on old Star Treks. You really don't see a lot of rickrack in fashion these days.

This morning, so far, I'm sporting a yellow silk nighshirt, and that's it except for a blue topaz and silver bracelet that I forgot to remove last night. Oh, and a toe ring that I always wear.

What's really terrible is, I'm wearing the same clothes as I was yesterday, except with the addition of a hideously ugly brown, burgundy and cream cardigan. I really am ill when I lose the will to shower. It's really funny, since Paul is the twee kid, everyone thinks all the cardigans around the house are his. Mwah hah hah! He didn't even own a cardigan until he met me!

Ah, I understand rickrack. It's that stuff that used to be round the hem of my dresses in the seventies. You can buy it by the metre in John Lewis. Today, I am wearing a lilac sleeveless top with sequins around the neck and waist, matching white lace undies by Gossard, skin colour knee highs and everything else is the same as yesterday. Like you care.

I am wearing my YSL suit, with a pearl grey shirt and a shiny black tie. I have a lavendar pocket sqaure and am wearing patent leather suspenders in black.

Although I do like to think Anthony's wearing suspenders of the English variety, I suspect he is not.

What are brit suspenders. Is this garters.

No, garters are a glorified loop of elastic that goes around your thigh. Suspenders attach round your waist and have straps hanging down with clips on the end to attach your lacy stockings to like this

I shop at walmart some times

I have on my grey Ann Taylor pants today, you know.

I have a new suit which I'm going to wear on sunday. I was really down on suits for mbeing, you know, corporate uniform, but oh my got a well cut suit is so becoming, (also so slimming).

I have on my yellow eye -attacking shirt today.

Man, I can't list my wardrobe here. I don't even *know* what I have - sometimes I'll be cleaning under the couch and find something. Today I've got on a floral print polyester mini, a hot pink t-shirt, a white belt, and black mary janes. My bra cost more than all of this stuff.

Grey longsleeve casual shirt, black dress pants.

The brown Dickies I wear almost every day; a red Polvo T-shirt; thin black wire-frame glasses; Old Navy flip-flops in army green that def. need replacing.

I've seen how you dress Kerry.

It's cold today, so I got to wear a cardigan.

1. A READING, WRITING & ARITHMETIC T-shirt.

2. White socks, because Stevie's campaign was a success.

Hey, I'm wearing real clothes now. Quite boring though. Black tightly knit pullover w. half sleeves, straight legged olive green pants by Buffalo, almost cargo styled, I think the actual style name is 'lazy' - no fooling. Pink undies and Ralph Lauren bra. Light blue metal finish Elizabeth Arden glasses. Steel Storm watch with lavender coloured bubble face. Diamond/platinum ring. The blue topaz bracelet, silver puzzle ring (four bands), the toe ring, one of those invisible necklaces with small silver pendant. Tiny earrings.

I am wearing the same thing I fell asleep in. This is so horrible that I don't even want to get into it. It's also a gothy outfit at that. I mean, for fuck's sake.

All y are you a goth? Becasue if you are, that's cool.

Look your best while babysitting dogs at work! Today, Mr. Rapso is sporting a lovely Nautica short-sleeved shirt with a gray & black square pattern. Please note that the Nautica label on the bottom of the shirt is not visible - Momma didn't raise no billboard. For below the waist, there's a lovely pair of cream-white Dockers, albeit sullied with some stains acquired when SOMEONE forgot to clean the schmutz out of the cup holder in the car. A lovely brown belt comprised of interwoven leather strands keeps said pants from falling around his ankles (though his ass does the same thing, if you're at all curious). Finally, today's footware is the same footware that he's been sporting for the past 2 years - white tubesocks, black Skechers. I think that SOMEONE needs to buy new shoes, since these once-pristine kicks have more scratches and scuffs than a gang-bang participant.

Variations on this theme will be essayed throughout the summer, with some expensive ($9 expensive, anyway) socks added to spice up those long, sultry afternoons spent in the office doing fuck all. The winter chills will be fought off with a combination of rugby-esque pullovers and button-down shirts of the Levi's variety. One hopes that the upcoming months will see the waist area drift away like the remnants of a wave-dashed sandcastle, so unknown business acquaintances won't take it upon themselves to chortle and recognize that, hey, you've gotten bigger, haven't you? Stupid fuckers.
