I ...I march to the beat of my own drummer for sure. I prefer my clothed vintage and from the charity shop because I don't want to look like everyone else on the street. I have recently bought myself a pair of overalls (not a popular clothing itme here in the UK) that send my manager at the shop into near-convulsions. lol.<br /><br />I love quirky items and buy them when I can. I laways say 'someone's got to love the ugly ones too' and often give a home to something hideous. Giant Treasure Trolls, knitted Barney the Dinosaur dolls, miniature Yeti...all find a cozy home in my cottage!Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837513506057486729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-18837287438160272072011-02-01T16:35:39.292-05:002011-02-01T16:35:39.292-05:00What a great question!

My coworkers lovingly call my style "slutty grandma" because I wear a lot of vintage, florals, short skirts and fishnets. <br /><br />Something I love is my nose ring! I've actually come across people saying it ruins my face on the internet, but I couldn't care less. My septum ring is here to stay :) <br /><br />One of my favourite fashion periods is the transition between the 1910s & the 1920s. Most people think it's frumpy, but I ADORE it! <br /><br />I also love flat shoes. I'm sure my outfits would all look so much more stylish, but I hate not being comfortable or not being able to walk all day.Miss Tami Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737048920324015594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-14404468306480737262011-02-01T16:11:42.146-05:002011-02-01T16:11:42.146-05:00A very interesting post!

I do not know someone with different tastes to me than my husband, we are totally different in the things we want, however we have been together 27 years. Hooray for diversity!!!Sewingadictahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083124271608615951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-5931938133574407002011-02-01T15:07:25.821-05:002011-02-01T15:07:25.821-05:00I have to love the big hair, because that's wh...I have to love the big hair, because that's what I've got!

When I was a teen I was always struggling to fit in, I tried being trendy and somehow it never worked out for me, I felt ridiculous and envied the effortless way other girls always fit in. Over time, I developed my own style, and when my future husband first laid eyes on me he said he noticed me because I looked so classy and ladylike compared to all the other girls he met <3 Yay to the retro ladies!Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138946747146153318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-66956582810536961372011-02-01T14:26:08.841-05:002011-02-01T14:26:08.841-05:00I was wearing vintage and shopping thrift stores l...I was wearing vintage and shopping thrift stores loooong before it was a trend. Other girls used to sneer at me if they found out I shopped "second hand." believe me, it wasn't always the "cool" thing to do.<br /><br />I was always proud of the way I could get really nice clothes for only a few dollars. I developed my own style. The choices were amazing if you looked carefully.<br /><br />At times I wished I could afford what the trendy girls wore, but that self-pride and fashion sense carried me a looong way.<br /><br />I have the courage now to do damn near anything I want to, with no thought of what others think. After all, each of us lives our own lives, not the other people ;)1950s Atomic Ranch Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460669868967006928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-20904985862241685832011-02-01T13:41:51.906-05:002011-02-01T13:41:51.906-05:00Love the bigger men!

(Don't let my husband read this)..Give me a funny, smart, active guy who DOESN'T have a six-pack (abs, anyway)...hard-bodies do NOTHING for me, probably because I wouldn't do anything for THEM! ;) I laughed when I read your post because one of my greatest fears is ending up on "What Not to Wear"! Stupid, because I don't necessarily agree with all their advice, and I'm sure my vintage projects would be a big no-no, and I don't really care all that much! Still...the humiliation of the three-way mirror! <br /><br />I also have a "thing" with color combos...I feel that red goes with everything, so I wear red shoes all the time. Also, I love yellow and red together, which other people find odd, and green and red to me is beautiful, not Christmassy at all! I'm also painting my living room gold with a silver accent wall, which makes sense to me, but my husband is NOT looking foward to it, although he had to admit my last living room decor of yellow walls with a red couch and green accent wall actually looked good!

LOL<br />I find corsets beautiful. like you said, they are awful for the body. but the look of a corset is just so.....FEMININE. It almost has POWER to me. There are women who find them distasteful. Also, I LOVE CHUBBY MEN. Again, it's a taste thing, and i love them dearly. Ambercrombie hardbodies dont do a thing for me.

I regularly think the same thing, I work in a Flea Market and things I think are insanely fabulous often raise other people eyebrows and definately vice versa ;) Which i think is great as that way there's something for everyone! :)<br />xBethDeer Little Fawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741324607904246594noreply@blogger.com
