I've slacked on my clothes in the last year. Pretty much, slim fit pants and t-shirts that I'm not afraid to ruin at work, and have pockets. Otherwise, I'm definitely more of a jeans lady.
 
I'm far from a dedicated follower of fashion or a trend setter. With my long legs, skinny waist, twisted mess of a torso and two arms that differ in size greatly, clothes are a bit of a nightmare really but we can't all walk around naked (and no-one would really want to see me naked) so I have to wear something. I tend to opt for trousers, polo shirts and zip top cardigans / hoodies. If the cardigans/hoodies have a nice high neck even better - (think this stems from being in and out of plaster casts and braces in my early years, so there was always something high around my neck.
 
Mostly band shirts, other shirts expressing some kind of interest or fandom I'm into. And for pants/shorts, anything. Last time I went out, I did so in my old Operation Ivy - Energy shirt, and a pair of dark gray shorts.

It kind of reminds me that maybe I should put more thought into style.
But, the most authentic styles actually represent our interests.
So I need to get deeper into the interests, to get deeper into the style.

I don't think I gave style enough conscious thought growing up, I thought it was shallow/superficial, thought it was just companies selling overpriced stuff. But that's not always true, that was only the rich-kid style I saw a lot of around me growing up, that didn't really express anything except "I have enough money to spend more on clothes than is required!" I didn't stop to think that it was just ONE style option, that wasn't going to work for me anyway because it wasn't an authentic expression of who I am, out of lots of options to choose from. Having your own style really goes a long way towards self-expression.

That reminds me, I found an online shop that sells "Mod style" clothing, on Facebook not long ago. I found a few designs I liked and want to give it a try once I have more money.

I've stopped buying online, I found the pictures and sizing could be very misleading, you really have to try a piece on before parting with your hard earned cash. Mod clothing in particular is very tailored and fitted.

Do you have any vintage shops/stalls near you? I get most of my stuff from vintage shops they have unique pieces and are always open to a wee bit of haggling ends up much cheaper than online and once they get to know you they'll always let you know if they get something they think you may like.
