Pointy black sigerson morrison slingbacks, banana republic grey cotton skirt and black sleeveless turtleneck (all bought on sale), H+M leopard underwear (not a thong), a pearl ring my stepfather bought in Japan 40 years ago and my mom gave to me last month, and Motu by Comptoir Sud Pacifique. I'm at work and we have a meeting this morning, this is kind of dressed up for me.

I'd rather know what people wear around the house and the ratio of dressing gown to jogging slacks wearing contributors to ILE. I love my dressing gown, it's like a poor man's smoking jacket.

Jonnie, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I would love a smoking jaket. However round the house I wear a Sarong and a t shirt and add a big white wooly jumper with a black star on it if its cold. I'm still looking for the ultimate sarong, my best ones are purple.

Ed, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I only wear "tighty -whitey "style undies

Mike Hanle y, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I don't like to think about Nick writhing around in astonishingly tight metallic jeans.

Madchen, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Green/brown lightweight jacket (looks better than it sounds), earth- tone t-shirt, blue jeans. Simple, yet effective. Perhaps.

Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I am now relieved that male friends stick to the jeans or combats / t- shirt combo when out as tight spangly pants (US) would be quite terrifying.

Me and Pete do dressing gowns around the house. In fact on Monday our guests turned up at 9:30 to watch BB and there we were resplendent in them. Pete's is scary as it is short and keeps falling open. Mine is grey and fleecy although I have a Confessions of a Milkman style job too which is see thru black chiffon with ostrich feather trim. I have not got to wear it for ages, sadly.

Emma, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Ok, now I'm wearing a tiger print thong (with extra spangles), a Gautier bra, a fright wig, Rob't Smith red lipstick, toenails in Electric Salmon, brass knuckles, a stripey stovepipe hat, Spock Ears, vampire teeth, and thigh high KISS boots.

Ok, I'm lying. Still in my PJs. The Electric Salmon toenails are for real tho.

Kim, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Dressing gown in the morning (obviously on A weekend this stretches long into the afternoon)

Jogging bottoms or drawstring trousers and old t-shirt for mooching round the house, definitely no slippers.

Forgot aftershave - Hugo Boss and jewellery - silver ring on first finger left hand, gold signet ring (not nice but was present from Dad) silver and green watch and a silver bracelet from Bali

Going out clothes...oh yeah, a good trick is that if your female friends say they like an item of clothing, it's pretty safe that other girls will too ;-)

cabbage, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

It will astonish all to learn that I have complicated rules re appropriate clothing.
In particular, buttons = rubbish and visible buttons = evil. It is the 21st Century. Please Catch Up.
All shades of brown = unacceptable. Primary colours are good, pastels are wanks.
Umbrellas? No, of course not. If it rains (see me for defn here: water falling from sky = not good enough) and you see fit to produce one, yes, I will walk with you — because I am no fanatic — but not *beside* you, obviously.
Most shoes, expensive or cheap, men's or women's, are QUITE AMAZINGLY UGLY.

mark s, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I don't like to think about Nick writhing around in astonishingly tight metallic jeans.

But you can't stop doing it, can you. CAN YOU??

Mark.S - is your buttons stance purely borne of progressive ideology, or do you have a FEAR OF BUTTONS. It's quite a common phobia, apparently. My sister's ex-boyfriend used to have it. Her current one is, I discovered this weekend, freaked out by touching flour. Honestly, my sister and her freaky men. Why can't she choose a normal, psychotic boyfriend like everyone else?

Nick, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Hmmm, with a shoe fetish or something? Mark's hatred of shoes makes me think he has a foot fetish. Which I find weirder than a shoe fetish.

Emma, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Fobia & phetish: none that I'm aware of (when small feared daddy-long-legses). I don't hate shoes: I hate UGLY shoes.

mark s, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.

Jonnie, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.....

Emma, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.

Ally, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

are trainers not shoes?

Ed, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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

Mike Hanle y, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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...

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.

suzy, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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

DG, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.

Ally, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.

Mike Hanle y, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.

Emma, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.

DG, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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

mark s, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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

DG, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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

Mike Hanle y, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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

mark s, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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

DG, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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

Ally, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.

james e l, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.

Lesley Higgins, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I'd have died in a uniforms exhibit.

Ally, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Where else can you buy trandy unexploded shells?

Mike Hanle y, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.

masonic boom, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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

Mike Hanle y, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.

Emma, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

anthony, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I do not know why or how i bolded it sorry

anthony, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

What on earth is rickrack?

Madchen, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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

anthony, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.

Kim, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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!

masonic boom, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.

Madchen, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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.

anthony, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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

Madchen, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

What are brit suspenders. Is this garters.

anthony, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

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

Madchen, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I shop at walmart some times

Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

x-post Sounds pretty dapper tbh.

When I'm at home and know I'm not going out for the night I pretty much always change into lounging clothes hence the hoddie/stretch pants combo.
