Writing Challenge Day 14: Describe Your Style

I said to my husband earlier the title for today’s challenge and added, “I have no idea, I don’t think I have any style!” His reply was, “Pink and fluffy!” To which I replied, but what about the sparkly and embellished with penguins?” He agreed.

I think I would describe my style as eclectic at best, chaotic at worst. It has been noted that I wear a lot of dresses, and all year round. I like dresses, they’re generally flattering. I know the styles that will suit me and can generally shop without trying on. I do love an excuse to get dressed up, love a posh frock, especially a retro frock. Give me a 1950s style swing dress with petticoats and seamed stockings and I’m well away. I like to think I can look good when I make the effort.

When we go travelling in our motorhome I have a completely different wardrobe. I have fantastic casual pull-on slacks, with large pockets, easy care tops or T-shirts and Rogering trainers (so-called because our motorhome is named Roger). As an aside, my Rogering trainers tick a lot of boxes re my style. Firstly, they’re really comfortable. They are mostly leopard print with cerise pink trims and pale pink laces. Both pinks have sparkly thread woven in. I absolutely adore them. And they were a gift from my lovely husband.

Although my day to day look is pretty unexciting; I rarely wear makeup and my hair is decidedly hit and miss since I ditched the dye and the six-weekly cuts, but I do always have an amazing manicure! It’s a self care thing. Other stuff can slip, but not my nails!

My other passion is for dressing up in lingerie or low-key fetishwear (faux leather, leather, PVC etc). I have a lingerie profile on Instagram where I share my body positivity and pretty undies. I’ve had a dream of being a plus size fetishwear model for years, but it will remain forever that; just a dream.

So, my style; pink, fluffy, sparkly, leopard print, retro, big pockets, fabulous nails, pretty frillies, faux leather, embellished with penguins and accessorised a floral Cath bag. Does that narrow it down?
