I wish I lived in different times.
The things that I consider necessary, practical AND pretty (underkirts and parasols for example) are no longer widely available, are considered 'unusual', and therefore make me look like I'm making a statement.
I'm not making any great statement, I just like proper layering and sunlight does me in. If I can wear nice things in my quest to combat these problems, then that is just dandy thanks.

Who cares if you're making a statement or not if you look fantastic.
You carry off the look with aplomb.

On Hotter than my daughter on the TV last night there was a girl who dressed in thrift shop grannie style. She was awash with colour and originality. They changed her to look like every other alternative girl out there.

I hate it when people class THEMSELVES as 'altenative' or indie
Because if you can be labelled like that then you are, by definition, not individual or alternative.

It was more my classification than hers.
Just to give a mental picture.

I know :)
I'm watching it now. It's fucking shit. That first woman, the rocker. Maybe she didn't look fantastic, but they could have toned it down a bit and still kept her personality without turning her into another highstreet clone.

And the jury all look common and trashy
Who are they to judge.
This show is making me so angry.

Nah, you just look awesome,
Natural, like you've not even tried
Not a lot of people can pull off what you wear and not look like they're trying to make a statement.

Me too.
When I see footage of the 70s I always think 'I wouldn't look like such a flid in those days'.
