Denim shirt plus flowery granny cardie? On what planet is that not a crime of fashion?

see?

It's not just me is it?

MrsRhettButler · 23/08/2011 00:35

Look at the one with the 'geek' glasses! And why is there a bird on their shoulder?

Ilikepinkwine · 23/08/2011 00:37

Pink dress, white apron, pearls...I see what you mean.
Oh wait, that's Mama Dolmio.
:)

MrsRhettButler · 23/08/2011 00:40

Where do I have to go to see this advert?

spiderslegs · 23/08/2011 00:44

Good Lord MrsRhett, I don't even know what to say to that, I am stunned beyond speech.

The bird is an accessory no two year old should be without, as is the Robin Day bow tie.

I believe such accroutrements enhance play in the active toddler.

Grin spiders!

GothAnneGeddes · 23/08/2011 00:54

40 quid! 40 bloody quids and none of it even matches!

Is this the hotch potch clothing mentioned upthread? Shudders.

Just give me George any day. You can buy a load of it, it all goes together and so you get loads of different outfits for your money.

I can't see the boden ad... where is it?

Those mama's and papa's kids look disturbing

FreudianSlipper · 23/08/2011 00:56

formal wear on young children is horrible

suits on little boys look absolutely ridiculous and uncomfortable

MrsRhettButler · 23/08/2011 00:59

Ohohoh I've just seen it! WTactualF? Denim shirt and flowery cardi? Urgh, I'm not sure where these 'designers' are coming from these days.....

Wabbit · 23/08/2011 01:02

missed it

Rowena8482 · 23/08/2011 01:25

I looked! and now I can't get the phrase "Tail Waggingly Awesome" out of my head, nor the smug expression on the face of the scraggy jack russell... I wouldn't care, I haven't seen the advert, oh no, I just couldn't resist clicking the bloody link! I feel so diiiiiiiirrrrtyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

spiderslegs · 23/08/2011 01:32

This from Boden's A/W is a delight.

As is this, fun dress, FUN DRESS? I have palpitations when I consider the fun I may get up to in that particular garment.

Wabbit · 23/08/2011 01:32

Where??? Is??? The Boden Ad???

Wabbit · 23/08/2011 01:33

Ah... ha!

Rowena8482 · 23/08/2011 01:33

OMG spiders! I have never before been glad, GLAD I say that somewhere didn't make clothes in my size! For the first time ever I am thankful for my chest!!!!!

Wabbit · 23/08/2011 01:34

I think it's trying to be Scope Shop Chic N'est Pas?

spiderslegs · 23/08/2011 01:35

I enjoy the disclaimer on MrsRhett's link;

*Please note: for safety reasons braces only available on sizes 3-6mth +

Quite.

May get the newborn some sock-suspenders & a girdle whilst I'm at it

Wabbit · 23/08/2011 01:35

Rowena - you've been told about those links! Grin

MrsRhettButler · 23/08/2011 01:37

You could frolic in meadows full of buttercups spider, you could sway playfully back and forth on the swings in a park in autumn, you could.... Oh the possibitilties are endles!

MrsRhettButler · 23/08/2011 01:38

Just inserting my missing s

Rowena8482 · 23/08/2011 01:40

Wabbit I know Blush hanging my head in shame - I was in bed asleep too, but bloody next doors bloody "random timer" thingy that turns their radio or TV on for an hour when they're out on nights/away went off at 12.30 - 1.30 AM!!! and woke me up. I hate it, and am sick to bloody death of complaining about it, but am not up to the fight just now, and DH won't let me remonstrate strongly smash windows/let tires down/write BITCHFUCKER on the windows in soap so here I am... and look what happened!

Wabbit · 23/08/2011 01:49

Oh I'd feel everso sorry for you if you didn't make me laugh so much! as it is, I'm glad your bitchfucker of a neighbour is so thoughtless!! Grin

I'm wondering if the mner with wind is out of yoga position yet... can't smell anything can you?

spiderslegs · 23/08/2011 01:52

You're right MrsRhett, I could pull those heeled stretch boots on with it & go skipping out to meet the man of my dreams for a romp with our wholesome son & our formally attired baby (sadly the 3 mth size is out of stock).

We'd rock it.

The fun we'd have.

spiderslegs · 23/08/2011 01:54

I have been wondering about the farter, it's a bugger, trapped wind, something no Boden-clad mummy has ever endured I'll be bound.
