i feel like i have a multiple personalities in my wardrobe. i have a very gothic edgy look, and then i've got a glastonbury hippy look, and then i've got a 40/50 chic look...
and i'd really like to try and find one kind of almalgemation (sp?) of all of these rather than having a complete style change everyday....
any ideas how to achieve this...?
and were i can start finding new stuff that isn't expencive, thats not primark/peacocks/charity shops/ebay...something a bit more original...

plus i just can't seem to put it all together, very look seems disjointed uncoordinated and naff...maybe its because my body is disjointed uncoordinated and naff
i need some gok wan!
Yeah, true. I have total split personalities when it comes to dressing, just go with what feels and looks right for you at the time. You don't have to have a cohesive wardrobe... more fun if you don't, I think.
Charity shops in London could well be expensive and crap, didn't think of that really. They're great in Newcastle, not that that's much help for you, oh but there's definitely a good Oxfam in Hackney too
Ok, i'm sure you have a black pencil skirt, a fitted black blouse and a scarf (red, orange or both would look scrumptuous) for your neck or hair...although id choose hair, thats kind of a merge between all three to me. You probably have some stuff in your wardrobe that already double up for the goth/50's look.
Me too I know exactly how you feel, my wardrobe's similarly disjointed...plus I have the added "work" aspect which is pretty much boring tops and trousers which don't reflect my style (or what I'd like my style to be) at all. I'm in a total rut!
Don't really have any suggestions really...what about vintage clothes stores rather than charity shops? Might be a bit pricier but you may well find clothes which sit somewhere between the styles you already have?
Now I buy what I like from any shop, and as mismatched as my style is, if I like it, I feel confident and happy in it. & that's the most important thing.
