Does anyone influence what you wear?

I like my husband and my own taste. My girls thankfully clothe themselves and leave me to figure out myself - I've never felt a failure yet.

No influencer daughters, granddaughters, great granddaughters.

No.
I have a mind of my own.

No. My DD is 25 years younger so her style is very different to mine.
By now I know what suits me and I'm not swayed by others.

Nope I know what I like and I wear it. No influencer .

No.

I am not influenced by anyone in a positive way, although I once saw an episode of Coronation Street where Mavis (remember her) was wearing a top I had just bought . That went straight out to the charity shop.

No. My two dogs ain't too fussy.

No. Interestingly however, my mother died before my youngest daughter was born so they never met but my daughter's style reminds me a lot of my mother's. If my mother was alive and young now, I think she would be very much like my daughter.

No. I think we all have our own taste and find our own style and what we feel comfortable in. What other people wear would not necessarily be right for me as we are all different shapes and sizes. Just be yourself and don't worry or be influenced by other people.

My DIL has a very quiet neutral taste but I like brighter colours.
Anyhow just bought summer dress in bright colours it wasn’t her taste at all but the more I look at it the more I like it
Matalan £14 but only have size 8 but it is more like a10. Has Angel sleeves so covers top of arms. Good.

I love shopping with my daughter and granddaughters, my daughter is very good at putting together outfits for me, but I still go my own way, I love colour, and bought a boucle yellow coat, they all said I looked like a grapefruit, insisted on buying it and yes they were right, I did look like a grapefruit, it’s now in the charity shop bag! So sometimes I take their advice and most of the time I go my own way! I’m in London for a long weekend and shall do some shopping, my daughter has said if it’s over £50, send us a pic first😳🤣

I'm sure I am influenced, perhaps without realising it. I see something in a shop window and fancy it. But perhaps I am more influenced by what fits me

I bought 2 tunics from Seasalt last Summer sale . I tried one on recently and realised it doesn't suit me at all so that's going to charity.

Having DH and 3 DS who never commented on my looks and then a DD.
What a difference! She noticed everything I wore and told me what not to wear from an early age.
Stereotypes are go!

I am going to a fancydress ceilidh this weekend.
The theme is:
What you were wearing when the ship went down!
Any ideas?

Nobody influences what I wear, I know what suits me colour and style wise and stick to it.
My heterosexual fashionista son often compliments me on what I’m wearing though. Is he a stereotype of some sort I wonder?

This happened to me but it was Vera wearing a blouse from BHS.
I never wore it again

I must admit I have a sneaky muse; Anna Wintour. We both have the same hair colour and style and love designer clothes.

Anna Wintour? Blooming ‘eck Boz!
That’s a high bar.
(Do you have your own Bill Nighy too?)

I am older and plumper. My 'Bill Nighy' has the same gentle qualities as Nighy; which amuses me. Great minds eh.

Nobody influences me now, but when I was young a friend pointed out a coat and said I ‘d look really good in it. Since she was very well-dressed herself I did take notice and bought it. I must say it was one of my favourite ever items of clothing. It was a slim brown/white fine tweed Jaeger coat, with a high Russian style neck. It cost what seemed to me then a fortune, but it was worth every penny.

I absolutely agree.My DD soon tells me off if I get it wrong. The only thing is that occasionally she chooses something for me that I think it a bit young.

I have a new influencer at work! Granddaughter aged 6 once said, "hey, nice outfit". Must enquire further next time as to essentials.

My mother had such an influence on my attire it was unbearable, she once flew into a narcissistic rage because she deemed what I wore for a family wedding was “common”.
I wear what I like and if I find a dress or outfit my late mother would have disapproved of then that brings me some extra joy.

No-one. I'm mum of two boys who loved me wearing bright pink so they could see me in the audience at school events!! I was fortunate to be in a job where appearance mattered in the 70s/80s (I know that's non-PC now) and trying to look stylish is still second nature. I don't really take any notice of other peoples' fashion choices as long as they look clean.

I choose my own clothes too, it s no one else's business. A cashier commented on the bow in my hair the other day though which made me laugh a bit as I don;t think a bow is that unusual!

If my OH really objected to something I wouldn't wear it.

He has seldom remarked on my clothes but has said he wants me to keep colouring my hair. I colour it , not to my original colour, but something more faded, not as white or gray as it probably is now.

My mother used to. I studied and then worked in London, but I always toned down what I was wearing for visits home. Occasionally I rebelled, I once turned up to a family occasion in what was called a Phaedra dress. It was obviously Greek influenced. My aunt and my mother rushed round looking for a cardigan so I could look respectable - they couldn’t do much about the split in the skirt. This was the swinging sixties, and Carnaby Street hadn’t quite hit a small town!

I now wear exactly what I want to, and I couldn’t care less what anybody thinks.
