Know it's usually Sax who does this kind of thing, but it's my turn for the summer fashion crisis

Query being this, going to the Peaches gig on Saturday and as some of my friends know, every so often have the tendency to dress wildly OTT for such things...think it was 'nesh who described me as looking like Josephine Baker on the way to Pulp.

soooooo big important question of the day is ...

What to wear?

Have pretty much narrowed it down to:

1)black corset laced up with pink ribbon, howge baggy khaki combats and masses of cheapo 'diamonique' chokers, trainers

2)pretty much same ensemble but with turquoise bra-top, trainers

3)turquoise bra-top, yellow see-thru A-line negligee and possible expenditure on turquoise lurex tights, docs.

4)bra-top, negligee, pvc trousers, docs

help me, people...

Number 4. And send me a photo.

Number 2 with one choker, expenditure on skin jewelery and some light face painting.

It's like ordering a combo at the drive through.

I'd go for 2). Option 1) sounds a bit Christina Aguilera to me...

Sir, how dare you. Outside, now!

Oh and Flesh? Do the words 'no fucking chance' mean anything to you? Twart.
 
 
Haus about we all give each other a big lovely huggle?

The turqoise bra-top sounds mighty, but I can't shake the feeling that the corset/combats combo could be very cool in a destabilising way.

Or corset/PVC trousers, although that is a bit copngruent, I guess..

Ohhh, I was going to say 1). Is 1) not cool? I think corsets are gorgeous.

Oh, me too. I think the conjunction of images (pink-laced corset with cheap 'diamonique') gave me 'Lady Marmalade' flashbacks...

Number one. Kind of like if All Saints and Christina Aguilera had a massive fight and one of them emerged wearing all the clothes. Definitely.

And my fashion crisis is coming, Plums. Just waiting for the Spring fashions to hit the shops properly.

Are we talking a reprise of the Leather Trousers Question or a new crisis?

Sorry, should have read the other posts before excitedly replying. I think Christina Aguilera is a good look.

Always a new crisis, mate. Not buying leather trousers is so last season. I have to find something else to not buy this year.

At least stay away from the hair, Plums. Big Poodle is so not a good look for you...

Well, number one is probably the least outre, but it might also look best... (but then I dislike both turquoise and yellow, so what the hell do I know).

I say 1), because it's the most <throws stupid hand signs> BLING-BLING.

all sound fantastic except yellow negligee. even the word 'negligee' gives me a rash.

i may have 'edited' your mobile no. plumage... will be leaving work for central london soon...we still meeting?
 
 
alas

i love the idea of yellow negligee over turquoise bra top thingy . . . like the swedish flag on acid maybe . . . damn wish i could be there for this.

So, tell us all, what was the final sartorial effect and was it twice as much fun as Alan Bennett on speed?

about 43 times more fun than that, darlin'.

went for the corset/combats, and a pink mesh t-shirt, scattered the chokers around friends, and looked damn fine, though i say so myself...

Yay! Good choice.

You sure did look fabulous! The ribbon in the corset was the piece de resistance, IMHO. That and the fancy jewels you brought along...

heh. You know I was referring to the pound store shiny things.

That could be taken other ways as well, I suppose...
