I was thinking 'pair of stuffed Yorkshire Terriers' but that nails it Grin

Yaay for you, Gingernaut! PS, I love the sandals in your pic - where did you get them from?

Perhaps we should all buy the JL knitted trouser suit outfit and turn up at the proposed next London meet-up? Except I doubt any of us will want to waste £120 on that when we could buy something nice?!

You're right becca, I should ignore it. I just can't! It's like being back at school with people slagging off what you're wearing! Horrible

I wear a lot of COS. Someone on here said it looked like clothes from the gulag. I now refer to it as Gulagwear.

I find it hard to believe that some sizes have actually sold out

Those trousers are unflattering to that lovely tall slender model.
I'm 5ft tall and the shape of an apple/pear - - the whole bloody fruit bowl-- So I think they won't be a great choice for me.

Cos?! COS? Surely no one is suggesting this monstrosity is like Cos clothing? 🤣

BrightonGallery7 · 13/10/2018 18:30

I love Cos. The Modern Rarity thing not so much.

StrangeLookingParasite · 14/10/2018 01:18

No, not at all. I was more making the point that people have said rude things (actually i think it's funny and can sort of see their point) about the stuff i wear, and I really don't care.

They’re like open toed boots. Just why?! If it’s so cold you need to wear boots, why are your toes sticking out?

If it’s so cold you need to wear woolly trousers (woolly trousers!!), why do they only reach half way down your shins and flap so much you’d feel the breeze all the way up to your nethers??

Smh. Not a day goes by these days that I don’t end up muttering “people are just WEIRD”.

I snorted out loud, but sadly my size has sold out. It takes all sorts.
