I think someone laughed at my dinosaur jumper

On my way out of M&S food hall earlier wearing the rather splendid dinosaur jumper Father Christmas brought, and I think I got laughed at by a lady passing me. I could be wrong, but she had previously been walking in silence with a man, looked directly at my chest (where aforementioned dinosaur is proudly displayed) and laughed. One of those slightly derisive, snorty kinds of laugh.

I’m now thinking of making this jumper a sort of M&S uniform, and wearing it every time I go there, in the hope of bumping into her again, and through regular exposure, showing her the joys of dino knitwear.

What do we think? Perhaps I need to up my dinosaur game to be really effective? Dinosaur leggings? Dress? Face paint and matching sound effects?

A long time ago I walked into work wearing my new (not particularly exciting) woolly hat, and the receptionist burst out laughing at me. I still wear that hat over a decade on. Some people just have very limited horizons. Spread that Dino love, op. I vote you get the dress next Wink

@Hugasauras

This is one of my fave outfits GrinI am beloved by toddlers.
I need to know more about this outfit. Where can I buy one?
gaggiagirl · 09/01/2022 17:36

I've got a diplodocus print grey sweater that I always get compliments on.
I also have a diesel sweatshirt with a big t rex claw on. Bloody love Dino fash! Good on you OP

To be fair some people are odd. I wear berets because I like them. Have lots of colours. I live in London but when I visit my countryside home town, people insist on saying ‘bonjour!’ and sniggering 😂

I have a Curious George t-shirt which I will make a point of wearing to M&S when I pop in for my annual supply of socks/knickers.

NumberTheory · 09/01/2022 17:39

I may have to get one. Making people laugh in the shops sounds like a great objective for clothing!

BurntO · 09/01/2022 17:40

I like it Grin can’t imagine her being much fun to be around, don’t let it get to you Flowers

muddyford · 09/01/2022 17:40

I have a pteradactyl brooch and would love a dinosaur top or dinosaur leggings!

Hugasauras · 09/01/2022 17:41

@TotoAnnihiliation The jumper is Sugarhill Brighton and the leggings are Rainbows and Sprinkles!

Inclinedtochatter · 09/01/2022 17:41

Joanie Clothing have got a fab dinosaur dress and jumper that I've got my eye on!

Bordois · 09/01/2022 17:42

I have a the R&S dino leggings too! (As well as the yellow seagulls, teal fox and black cats ones) 😁

ItRainedForever · 09/01/2022 17:43

This is why I shouldn't go on Mumsnet during the Long Dark Teatime of the Soul. I appear to have just purchased a dinosaur jumper (and a non-dino-themed t-shirt to spend enough to get free delivery!) Hmm

Stompythedinosaur · 09/01/2022 17:43

She is clearly an idiot. Who doesn't love a dino jumper? Is was very pleased to find some adult sized dino pjs in Next a couple of years ago, they are my favourites.

Mumoblue · 09/01/2022 17:43

Next time make direct eye contact and do your best dinosaur roar. Grin

I love fun designs on clothes. I’m often slightly jealous of the prints on my son’s clothing! When he was a baby he had a onesie covered in a pattern of sharks that I’d quite happily wear as a shirt.

People who snort at others clothing aren’t really worth impressing. Nothing of value was lost! Grin

Boogaloony · 09/01/2022 17:43

I regularly look like a giant over sized toddler that has been vomited on by a unicorn. My fave combo at the moment is a neon blue and pink jelly fish dress, purple tights and powder boot Mary Jane's. I care not what other people think of me 😁

Love a nice Dino outfit!

FritataPatate · 09/01/2022 17:44

Where is the dress from pleeeeeese??

StarsAreWishes · 09/01/2022 17:45

Thanks to this thread I am now the proud owner of a dinosaur jumper, a UFO jumper, and some narwhal leggings Hmm

confusedbycovidrules · 09/01/2022 17:46

Look at all this designer dino merch!
Fill ya boots!

WheelieBinPrincess · 09/01/2022 17:46

YES I’m so happy someone got the Narwhal ones!! They’re amazing

DillDanding · 09/01/2022 17:47

Really rude to laugh at you.

But, if you’re the type to wear dinosaur jumpers, why give a fuck?

ronswansonstache · 09/01/2022 17:47

I have a different Sugarhill Dino jumper! Sadly it doesn't fit because of the baby weight but I kept it in hope!

I also have those Dino leggings and love them. Loads of people comment on them! 😂

Joanie have some awesome Dino dresses if you want to check those out

prettypinkflamingo · 09/01/2022 17:49

Get yourself to Molke and grab a Dino bra to match....when she snorts at your jumper, pull it up and flash your Dino bra!

HolidayNanny · 09/01/2022 17:49

I'm currently wearing my Frugi farmyard pyjamas with little tractors, chicks, pigs and sunflowers all over them. Screw other people, just be you!

MrsGinnyM · 09/01/2022 17:54

Is the dino jumper going to be the new MN scarf and haircut?

godmum56 · 09/01/2022 17:55

@AndItDoesntSeemToMatter

Hopefully next time you see her you will be with a friend and will be unsure if she saw you so you can say "Do you think she saurus?!"
this wins MN today
