and they make it so EASY

this times catalogue is perfect. Usual shit smell, naff over laboured premise that makes no sense.

still shit A line skirts
pregnancy type tops to cover fat guts
shit disty patterns
STRANGE beardy weirdy man model

femail models all looking like they need to eat more steak

beardy weridy

she looks like she might be sectioned tbh

look my RANTING about its shitness( that i secretly love) has made my spelling go NUTS

I love it when clothes companies give every item a name.

One day they'll run out.

Oooh there were quite a few things in there I liked.

DH often pops in during the sale and grabs half a dozen dresses which I always get compliments about. Especially the red one with horses on from their winter collection last year.

its so mind numbingly smug and boring

bloody button necklaces and brown boots yawn

They are not even trying to make the names match

this lady is not at the harbour

this does not appear to be a wendy house

that's not the market square

What is it with all the beardy men in catalogues these days Their focus groups responses must be interesting as they obviously think that their target market are all gagging for them.

I quite like this dress but I would have to cut out the inbuilt "modesty panel" and it has nothing to do with candy floss.

Wandering typewriters? WTF? And stop trying to do Helena Bonham Carter hair while eating a biscuit.

LOVE It trills and
this scarf aint in ledbury

this aint nothing like MY secret garden ;)

I can just see Bruce Willis in this.

or this aint what Id imagine Otis reading in

Snigger. Or Redding even

Is there any item of women's clothing in that shop that isn't designed to make you look like a frumpy blob?

It's for women who have given up.

I imagine coming up with the theme is fun, though. Though I saw 'lo fi' on the front of the catalogue and expected a book full of Pavement and Marine Girls lookalikes with striped shirts, flannel and hairclips. Oh, how disappointed I was.

Also, I have large norks so every single one of their tops makes me look like I'm in drag as Jeremy from Airline.

It's terrible isn't it.

All the colours look faded and raggedy like they have been at the bottom of the dog basket.

Frumpy frumpola.

Every knitted jumper/dress/tunic has a little tag saying 'this will bobble within 5 minutes of wearing it' or something along those lines.

I haven't laughed out loud at a thread this much since the farting in public one.
Beardy men and secret gardens, I love it !

White Stuff designers must hate women

faux folksy shitness does not disguise the fact that it is the same shitola season after season summer

Also the women's 'pretty things' and men's 'nuts and bolts' grrrrr <smashes up world>

I went through a period of mental illness after I had my second child where I bought and wore one of their skirts. It lasted two days, at which point I put it on eBay and made damn near what I'd paid in the first place, so there is clearly a market for it.
