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?

@CSJobseeker

This thread reminds of this meme that I love.
I identify entirely with this.

I have dinosaur leggings from Lucy Locket Loves and never had any comments. Sad I obviously need the dinosaur jumper to wear with them. Grin

I also got the Lucy Locket Loves sloths in space dungarees for Christmas. I haven't worn them yet but I'm fully expecting comments when I do.

@viques Ooh I didn't think of that. Next time...

@Wiredforsound Ha "snotarse" is an excellent term. May I use it if I meet her again?

@Mumoblue I'll get practising on that roar. I do a brilliant witch's cackle but that's about it so clearly need to expand my repertoire.

@Boogaloony You sound great! 

@FritataPatate Poppy Clothing. I may have to get one.

Oh I can see a few links to Sugarhill, I've just looked at their Mission section and am super impressed, I have been looking for small and sustainable clothing companies for a while - this looks like it will be a new fave!

DH has this t shirt, but we're not sure whether he can wear it post-Covid.

KittenKong · 09/01/2022 18:03

I saw a dog with a dinosaur jumper recently! Nowt wrong with a Dino jumper.

ShowOfHands · 09/01/2022 18:03

I have this blouse from joanie- often worn to work under a black shift dress. Looks amazing.

I’d love to know what that woman was wearing which made her feel she had the authority to laugh at someone wearing a completely normal piece of clothing.

@Hugasauras I’ve got the same jumper as you! I adore it!

itsgettingweird · 09/01/2022 18:07

Love these.

It's the type of stuff I wish I had the confidence to wear.

itsgettingweird · 09/01/2022 18:08

And I lobe that all those with Dino clothes have done related Mn NN Grin

KittenKong · 09/01/2022 18:09

Thank you for this thread.

See? See? I am normal! I have a dress with squirrels on it. Also one with zebras. One with hares and deer. Another squirrel one. A squirrel jumper. Two shirts with zebras and one with horses and four cat ones (hence my sisters calling me mad cat lady). Many scarfs with various critters. pjs and matching dressing gown with sausage dogs… I’m seeing a theme here…

That’s a lovely jumper, I’d bet money that her companion said something funny just at the moment she was looking at your jumper. Not about you at all.

Oldraver · 09/01/2022 18:14

I regularily wear dresses with cats on. On the whole I get positive comments but had an awkward moment while out eating where I was definitely the subject of gossip of two women who kept looking over me
