> [@PastTense](#): > > Never: I’ve worn the same style clothes for decades. That doesn’t preclude making the wrong choices the whole time. 😃 I’m the same way, mostly running shoes/casual shoes/boots, jeans and weather appropriate shirt/sweater/jacket. ---

Heh. Everything I wear is a fashion mistake. ---

Well, I grew up in the 80s, so there were a lot. Sally Brown puffball bangs, vertical striped multi-color eyeshadow, neon anything. I mean it was cool at the time but I’m thankful now there aren’t many pictures. If you mean currently, I just try not to stand out too much. Khakis and a sweater are pretty much my normal “uniform”. ---

Purple and pink doubleknit pantsuit that my then fiancée (now husband) gave me for Christmas that I felt obligated to wear. It was loud even for the 70s. After a couple of years of marriage I would have been comfortable enough to take it bac if I were given it, but when I was newly engaged I was afraid it would hurt his feelings. ---

My mom bought me a “Leisure Suit” in the 70’s and I actually wore it!
