What item of clothing has my mother bought me?!

NC - lighthearted. Disclaimer: I am grateful she has sent a present.

Normally I don't get a present from mother on my birthday but alas one has arrived (we live in different countries)

On the customs label it says 'Clothing'

In the past I have been given some rather hideous clothing from her including a massive purple fleece (it's not cold here), glitter tops (not my style) and endless sweaters with tartan (we are Scottish but there is such a thing as too much tartan).

I'm a jeans and a plain t-shirt kinda woman who is turning 35......Opening the present in about 10 hours.....

What's in the package?!

I'd buy that.

I'm going to go for a yellow and black tartan shirt. Possibly with ruffles.

If it’s a wolf fleece or intact any animal in fleece jacket form please please please say I can have it please please please . I would be genuinely thrilled if someone bought me one of those/ esp featuring bears or cats 🤗

A polyester fuschia pink cold shoulder top with bell sleeves. Oh go on, I'll stick my neck out and say it's from TKmaxx. £14.99.

SeraphinaDombegh · 16/01/2019 16:03

I'm voting for cardigan. A very sensible looking cardigan with embroidery detailing.

She did well! I'm glad for you that it's something decent and usable but a little disappointed that it wasn't something crazy too.
