I think someone laughed at my dinosaur jumper

[DelightfulDinosaurs]

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?

I have a denim shirt with appliqué sequin dinosaurs on, a sales assistant on the make up counter in Fenwicks ran across to me to ask where it was from last time I wore it so at least some people have good taste

I have those dinosaur leggings! I LOVE dinosaurs 😂 I wear them constantly!

I'm dinosaur agnostic but I LOVE Sugarhill Brighton and have a fab "Lucky cat" jumper from there.

I bought my grown- up daughters t shirts with the Jurassic Park logo and their names added- for example

 Lizziesaurus
 Rosiesaurus

(Names changed, obvs !) They were chuffed as monkeys!

Love this thread and some of the companies mentioned who make fun clothes. Enjoy ladies. Who cares about the laughing. With that kind of person if it isn’t your jumper it would be your shoes or coat or hair etc.
be your

I have a sugar hill Dino jumper. I never wear it now but only because half my friends and colleagues copied me and have one too…..

You obviously made her day. Isn't that the response you wanted to achieve?

I'm very grateful to snooty lady because without her you wouldn't have started this thread, and I wouldn't have discovered the joy of dinosaur leggings

I can't afford this thread but am pleased to announce I got dinosaur socks for Christmas!

Penguins are my thing. I have no problem going out with them on a jumper, sweatshirt, or hat. I get teased mercilessly, but I'm proud of my love of penguins.

Go girl!

I had these for christmas

Those are some cute dinosaurs!

@Indecisivelurcher

Oh lush. I mostly want the stag beetle jumper though...

I do too!!

I love your dinosaur jumper! Wear it with pride!

Hmm Rainbows and Sprinkles dino leggings are out of stock in short people size. I'll have to wait until they come back in. In the meantime, narwhals and puffins might get a look in.

I'm currently playing Jurassic Park Evolution on Xbox.... And about to spank the credit card on umpteen dino jumpers and bras 🙄

@Avonandice Those are great. Shame I can't walk in heels.

Shop in Asda instead OP, casual T-Rexing is all the rage there.

I have this skirt OP. I'll wear it tomorrow, in solidarity.

I"ve worn Christmas pyjamas out of the house two weekends running. No one has cared.

Is there a Puffin jumper?? If so can I please have a link... I'm puffin obsessed!!!

@ItRainedForever

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!)

Ha - I’ve just bought the dinosaur cardigan off the back of this thread!

I reckon she was laughing in a “look I told you I wasn’t the only one” way to her oh. She’s prob got one! Fwiw I would have prob laughed in oh look how brilliant kind of a way

It’s amazing! Kendo did a dinosaur jumper a couple of years ago. It was £££ but I seriously considered shelling out for one until I remembered I’m not rich.

What was snorting stuck up woman wearing? Something nice and sensible from the Sainsbury’s Tu collab with Mary Berry?*

*I made this up.

Kenzo not Kendo.
