Barbe-fashion survey - what are you wearing right now

Page: 1 2(3)4 5

15:59 / 16.01.03

I think we need more hats, too. I have a black wool ski hat but that's hardly a hat at all. I think I'll catch a squirrel tonight and wear it to work tomorrow. Maybe two squirrels, if the first one isn't big enough, and then I could wrap one tail around each ear.

16:03 / 16.01.03

normal work gear. charchol grey pants (no belt), fitted grey shirt with white pinstripes (very nice), black socks with deftly hidden glow-in-the-dark lines, black shashas with white stars. undies are a navy satin bra and red, black trimmed string bikini. same old wire frame glasses, silver crown ring, and my favorite necklace, a tiny red enamel sacred heart on the end of a silver chain

16:08 / 16.01.03

Black thong underwear, an ankh necklace and black thick-rimmed glasses.
Hey, I just got up, and you asked....

Our Lady of The Two Towers

16:40 / 16.01.03

Rizla says: DANCE TO THE UNDERGROUND! Where's the hats* with flashing ligthbulbs on, absurd New York Dolls style drag outfits, "Jesus is a Cunt" T-shirts, balaclavas, caftans, cow bells, ponchos, moonboots, marching band outfits, silk shirted mod finery etc.?

Well, if she had waited until the weekend to ask...

And as for BiP starting the thread in the style of a 50s television announcer I now have an image in my head of her as Richard Dimbleby and it won't go away...

16:55 / 16.01.03

Black t-shirt saying "ROXY WORLD 41-47 NEAL STREET" upon the chest and a list of punk bands underneath (UK Decay, I Wanna Be Me, No Feeling etc)

Hunter green pants with one side pocket (currently filled with: 1 ID card, 1 telephone card, 1 sigil and one demo tape).

And if a pair of black sneakers and a pair of shoe-laceless shoes had a baby, I would be wearing that baby in my feet right now.

Also, I need I haircut.

18:48 / 16.01.03

For me, Barbewear = maternity wear! I am a vision in black - elasticated trousers, of course, and a black t-shirt/tent. Maternity pants are also black and huge but my new maternity bra is a bit foxy - honest!
Gone are the days of me wearing leather trousers to "wear them in", Ganesh - sigh....

19:08 / 16.01.03

Black Adidas track pants (cotton-feel with 3 stripes down the sides to knee level), a rather risque thermal vest (deep v-neck) and as a concession to the cold wind today, a horribly mutant (grey rather than black, slightly lopsided) Star Trek Voyager T-shirt that I've had since the series began ?1994. Same as usual really, although I do own some nastier track pants! Black socks and black Nike trainers. Probably white underwear from Primark.

06:29 / 17.01.03

Grr... the Floral One got in there first!

You wanna see me this saturday night. Me and my band... maybe the music will be as loud as our clothes!

maybe.

[Editied in light of some last-minute chickening out. Seems the music will be louder. harumph! Sorry to tease.]

09:13 / 17.01.03

Just got in from eating at a Greek restaurant; and am actually wearing a skirt. So, for me, a little dressed up.

Ahem. Skirt: black (what else) Country Road, ankle-length slinky heavy-weight silky viscose & rayon & a little polyester - doesn't crease at all - which kicks out at the hem on account of V-shaped insets. Shoes: black, strappy Italian leather sandals - flat. Top: Jag, medium soft green,very fine light cotton knit, low-cut v-neck, with elbow length sleeves (ending in wide ribbed band) & 4 small green buttons from the v point to the start of the wide, close fitting ribbed waist band. Undies: cream cotton knickers & Yves St Laurent lace opera bra. Jewellery: flat gold neck chain with smallish 18th century ecclesiastical fob seal (I wear this almost every day, not for religious reasons, but because I like antique jewellery.) The seal, which you barely see, is amethyst glass with an engraving of a lamb & the words 'agnus dei'. Drop earrings - antique gold & green glass intaglios. Wide gold ring, renaissance style, heavily embossed. Longines gold watch.

11:53 / 17.01.03

I think we should just cut to the chase and describe our knickers, so people don't have to plough through lines and lines of black T-shirts and corduroy jackets.

New thread!

12:20 / 17.01.03

I'm wearing a pair of shorts without any briefs inside. I don't wear brief as I would perspire in them. I had ringworm before and I don't wanna get ringworm again wearing sweaty brief.

13:39 / 17.01.03

Leave my undies out of this.

This time I'm dressed, at least. I'm in a washed-out denim fishtail-shaped long skirt, a navy thermal top, veggie DM boots and big fluffy socks. When I arrived here (in the Boston office) I was also wearing a velour cardie thingie, a big coat, scarf, hat and gloves. All of them black. Nothing very radical, I'm afraid.

Lada: I'll be your Richard Dimbleby anytime...

05:33 / 18.01.03

Sax. You. saxy. thing. you. :-}

09:39 / 20.01.03

Grey High School gym shorts, steel chainmaille bracelet on left wrist, sterling silver "R" rune ring on right ring finger, and a leather cord around my neck.

10:14 / 25.05.06

I'm in hangover-lets-play-on-the-ps2-all-day mode so I'm wearing a simple navy dressing gown and thats it, I probably stink a bit too. I'll post again tomorrow when I'm not stinking and properly dressed!

10:25 / 25.05.06

An old duvet without a cover. Under that I am unwashed and naked. I feel not pretty.

10:31 / 25.05.06

Hello Kitty jammie bottoms and a t-shirt. It's half-one here too. I'm such a slob.

10:36 / 25.05.06

Ah, that makes me feel a tiny bit better seen as though its only half twelve here. I can stay all minging for another hour without feeling guilty now.

10:45 / 25.05.06

GAP jeans, Vans, crap blue t-shirt with a VW van on it that I bought in Covent Garden for a fiver. Boxers.

10:53 / 25.05.06

dark blue 'boot-cut' (flared) jeans, battered DMs with rainbow laces, pinstripe/circuit-board design t-shirt from Cyberdog, black fitted jacket with discreet lapel badge saying 'butch'. Except I just took the jacket off. Two big rings and a bracelet.

All Acting Regiment

11:03 / 25.05.06

I'm actually wearing a Panama hat. I don't know where it came from, I just woke up with it. Must've picked it up last night.

11:12 / 25.05.06

Don't laugh but it's so cold here that I've resorted to wearing a workplace sweatshirt three sizes too big with our logo emblazoned all over it. This is not a stylish garment. O the shame.

11:13 / 25.05.06

I hasten to add that I am wearing some other clothes too. Otherwise I'd have no excuse for being so cold...

Ex

11:13 / 25.05.06

Work suit for new job. Thus lady-style, dark purple and nylon (conveniently washable).
A lovely snuggly striped jumper, which I hope is the same shade of purple as the suit or I'll have been setting people's teeth on edge whenever I move into natural light.

Cheap white shirt. Big black shoes with silver piratical buckles.

11:16 / 25.05.06

It's only just past 8 and I don't have work today so I'm only wearing what I threw on to walk the dog - H&M kelly green scoopneck tee (no bra, eek), the jeans that don't fit right, green cordoruy engineer cap to hide my unwashed hair, and paint-splattered work sneakers.

Korso Jerusalem

11:25 / 25.05.06

I'm rocking the Tom Waits thrift-shop style.

Two dollar suit coat, five dollar jeans that I assume someone died in, old pair of leather boots with holes in them, and a dark grey T shirt on the verge of disintegration.

11:48 / 25.05.06

Black Skechers, light brown dress socks, well-worn jeans, light brown polo shirt over an overdue-for-laundering white T-shirt, a Fossil watch on my left wrist, a silver bracelet on my right wrist, silver ring on the index finger of my right hand, wedding ring on my left hand, my glasses, and a look determination.

from the feet up.. adorable 70s retro gola trainners. Blue jeans. navy tshirt with a manga factal art style samurai on it.

of course.. the urban trendiness of it all is destroyed by the hollows where my eyes used to be.. stooopid computer screens and late nights. at least, thanks to a certain someone and their badger art, I wearing a big smile too.

lonely as a cloud...

12:01 / 25.05.06

Today, for what it's worth, I'm wearing...

My new, expensive-looking glasses. The reason they look expensive is because they are expensive, but given that I wear them 20 hours a day, I feel it's worth the expense. My optician *assures* me that they make me look hella sexy.
Mainly grey checked shirt. Well, not checked exactly, it's more tartan. I dunno what you call that kind of pattern on a shirt...
Fantastic 4 shorts! Wooo!
Blue jeans. Slightly too big for me, but less big than they were on my former flat-mate.
Belt. Black, with "dragon" written on it. It's got a toothy-kinda clasp on it, rather than a traditional buckle. And there's a bottle-opener on the back of the clasp. It was the last thing my ex-girlfriend gave me before we broke up...*sniffles*
I think I'm wearing Pirate socks. Like, socks with skulls and crossboneses on them.
New Rocks. Subtle ones, though. They're kinda motorcycle boots (though the aforementioned former flatmate, who also has a pair of new rock motorcycle boots claims they aren't!), and I like them. First pair of proper shoes I've bought in several years.

12:07 / 25.05.06

well Cloud.. sounds like your ex has excellent taste.. *devious grin*

12:14 / 25.05.06

Adidas trainers in cream and brown; slim-fit Diesel jeans in a dark indigo wash that *hasn’t* been fucked around with to resemble being spattered with shit and/or spunk; cheap, cherry red sweatshirt from Carbon 28 with a crucified Christ on the front; beard.

Hope that helps any new people coming to the pub tonight to recognise me.

lonely as a cloud...

12:14 / 25.05.06

Indeed. And, irony of ironies, she brought me to a press screening of X-Men 3 last weekend...!

14:22 / 25.05.06

Ha. In the interests of fairnesss, I should proably answer when I'm not motivated to start a thread by feeling pleased with my clothes.

So. Currently:

Dark blue towelling dressing gown.
Black-framed glasses with a subtle hint of pink.
Stacks of ginger cat hairs.

16:33 / 25.05.06

Right now I'm wearing nothing but underwear and a pair of mesh shorts. Tonight, however, I'll be sporting Armani Exchange (can't afford Armani) black pants, a blue DKNY dress shirt, black dress shoes, and a TAG Heuer wristwatch.
