Laughing at the image of Suz.... still rocking a well cut blazer despite the end of the world

Gretchen- I'll help you with the clothing in my down time. Love pattern drafting. We could come up with some cool designs!

Yes Suz! I will be in a ZA blazer, with Doc Martens. Jeans. HEWI white shirt. But with bright coloured red hair. And way out there for me nails and make up.

I’m thinking underground housing, slightly reminiscent of The Hobbit, dug by our loyal dogs with a series of beautiful tunnels with hanging plants / gardens / veg plots interlinking salons and wardrobes, kitchen, stores, generator and treatment rooms.

Mainelady, hooray! Glad to have a partner! Soft, approachable angora flack jackets?

Ok ok! Wait wait! People rolling into the (underground) compound! (Might I say that’s brilliant - underground means cold storage!)

We’ve now got Strategy, Logistics, Peacemakers, Seamstresses, a Full Hospital Staff, a Library to Rival the Ages and Lara Croft! And I have a partner in Ag!

I think I will sport a grey and black Fair Isle. Black high waist skinnies and work boots. Keep the purple hair under my Soda Tab Hat with Mane (I should book a Vivid Colour Appointment ASAP, no?)...I need a raid on Uniqlo for Heattech thermals... and Puffies...

...Also, I feel barrettes may come in handy...

... I want to build a loom...

Must recruit Janet and Jessicam's as war artists...

Wow outfit!! I totally forgot...well it has to start with black danskin legging. There might be times we need to sleep in our clothes and comfort is key. EF scoop neck elbow sleeve tunic because it’s trans seasonal. Trusty hip belt - the one belt to rule them all. Ariat extreme h2o boots because they are waterproof, quick zip and combat chic. For the blazer it’s got to be the Theory selata - all season, never wrinkles and yes I’m all in black except my silver buckle and gold schnauzer necklace except my white full length Angelica 100% cotton white lab coat w the knot buttons because it’s the ne plus ultra of white coats!!

War artists reporting for duty. Gotta figure out how to make pigments from raw materials...

I am very happy to report for duty as a Warrior. I would prefer my boots with a lower block heel, because running from Zombies may be essential and I am pretty useless in a 6 inch heel. My weapon of choice will be a Samurai sword. Uniform - think Uma Thurman in Kill Bill.

My Westies are part of the furry cuddle brigade - to help boost moral. Don't expect them to warn us that Zombies are coming, because unless Zombies melt from dog licks, the Westies are going to welcome everyone, Zombies included. They will enjoy being chief taste testers of all the yummy treats.

Another mama bear who would do anything to protest the kids. Good shelter and food are my top priorities. Since I already survived one war, my experience can be useful.

Signing up as Teaching & Library Assistant! I'll bring my library to share, telling stories around the campfire sounds like a good way to relax as best we can!
Plus, I grew up on a farm, so if we can find some cows or goats I know how to milk them!

Bootcuts, heeled DMs, tees and hoodies for me, so Practical Tough as my moniker perhaps?

i'm going native with the torn clothes and pale skin to better engage the enemy and divert their attention to "brain-replacement" diets. you will recognize me by my steel-et-toes.

@rachy, i want to make my own yarn from unfinished sheep wool.

maybe we can start a cottage industry for the zombies who want to be integrated back to human society. ooo...zombie fashions, for zombies, by zombies. dead stylish.

Killer stylish...

Bunker Nanny reporting for duty. I'll wear dark skinny jeans, a navy sweater, sneakers and a shoulder towel to catch spit-up with.

...I think also tweeds...

I’m going to weave you a waffle-weave spit up towel, Toronto girl

For sure artists! Anybody got a banjo?

I'll take the night watch shift and give alerts if needed. I'll be dressed in black wearing a hoody, leggings, and sneakers.

ummm...mouth harp?

A harmonica is totally legit

So, I tripped and shredded my tights today, and I think I might have inadvertently created my ZA look.

Owie! But golly if that isn’t ZA fab!

Not gonna lie. I kind of love the look of laddered tights.

Jenn,
FUNNY
not funny..ouch !

I'm late to this party, but I'm making my grand entrance as the Avenging Angel of this bunch. I have been in the wilderness, hunting and gathering to help feed my tribe of fab survivors. I finally have an excuse to wear my drop-holster Santa brought me, and my dress code is inspired by all the bada$$ women in that educational docudrama series The Walking Dead, although my color palette lately has leaned more Georgie (pics)

I think this is the first time I've ever been able to come up with a style moniker for myself, so thank you Rachylou for framing the question in terms my dystopian doomsday prepper self could relate to! (How warped is it that it took the end of the world as we know it to bring me to an epiphany of what I want my style to say? LOL)

I just had to join the brigade. As I work with children, I would join Bunker Nanny and the Mama bears in the schoolhouse. But since this is a crisis and the regular curriculum would be interrupted, I would get the kids involved in making various instruments and weapons which would aid in our battle - age appropriate of course. There would be several centers of activity: slime making, slingshots with duplo block projectiles, paint sprayers that could be laced with hot chili peppers and we could even get our older children to ride bicycles with bags of lego to spread out before the zombies' path. Anybody stepped on lego? We will disable the zombies quickly - and painfully.
I will be wearing more practical clothes that day: my black leather chelsea boots, looser knit pants, my charcoal alpaca sweater and my navy wool beret. And a longer scarf (it may also come in handy for various practical purposes including triage or for carrying and smuggling items).

Oh wow. You guys are brilliant. A Lego minefield, that Felix lures the Zombies into... what the heck could be more effective than that?

Cindy, woman, you know you’ll be Queen of the ZA!

... serious question now: Would a Hello Unicorn backpack attract Zombies? Is that a bad idea?

Inge, Felix is so handsome! and wow so fast. I feel a bit of Dr Who in the scarf reference.

Rachy, I think you need the rucksack for the lego trap.

I have Doc Martens in readiness and decided the horses are coming with me too. So pleased that they are greys, to go with Felix.

Omigosh yes! Nab the horses on your way here!
