Friday Five: Fashionista

1. What is the most outrageous style you've ever rocked?
   Probably this one:
   
   (That's me in 2003, wearing a green vest, black trousers & boots, sunglasses and very long dreadlocks. I'm carrying the tiny metal box that functioned as my handbag in those days.)
   
   
2. As a teen, were you an emo, goth, punk, grunger, or prep?
   As a young teen, I was trending toward goth, but I didn't go full rivethead until I was at university.
   
   
3. Have you ever had a crazy hairstyle/colour?
   I have worn unnatural shades of hair colour: green, blue and purple. I don't really think of dreadlocks as "crazy".
   
   
4. Do you think we ever really grow out of our teen selves?
   Um, yes, definitely. Thank GOODNESS.
   
   
5. Is there any fashion style you wish you could wear but maybe don't have the confidence?
   I would definitely love to be a bit more goth/rivet still. It's not that I lack the confidence, it's that I don't have the time, the money or the energy to maintain the look. I spend what resources I do have on my kids' wardrobes, not my own. Also, it would be pretty incongruous at my work, which is small-c conservative.
