AIBU to think that women who refer to their clothes as "pieces" are twats Grin.

Note I am not fashionable in the slightest and I don't care.

It's a bit different if they are designer well not really but it's more acceptable than some tat they've bought in river island, boohoo, in the style etc

Are these the same people who wear a black trouser with a chunky heel?

DwangelaForever · 22/01/2018 07:26

Could well be Grin

Or a tee?

FatherChewieLouie · 22/01/2018 07:35

Aye and I bet they match it with a stand out red lip.

gabsdot · 22/01/2018 07:37

Same for people who refer to rooms in their houses as 'spaces'.

ParadiseLaundry · 22/01/2018 07:45

They also add some 'pieces' for a 'pop of colour'.

LadyBunnysWig · 22/01/2018 07:47

The same ones who see hidden meaning in clothes.

CheapSausagesAndSpam · 22/01/2018 07:48

They're the same person who "put on a lip"

NancyDonahue · 22/01/2018 07:49

Today, I am wearing a black legging worn down to the ankle, teamed with a stand out sweater from the George collection and a brown wedge boot.

jellycat1 · 22/01/2018 07:50

Yanbu. Very twatty! Unless they're the designer!

BitOutOfPractice · 22/01/2018 07:51

They probably source these pieces, not just buy them.

treaclesoda · 22/01/2018 07:53

And their wardrobe is curated.

HuskyMcClusky · 22/01/2018 07:57

As long as they’re rocking either a smoky eye or a red lip. Never both.

theForeigner · 22/01/2018 08:28

The same ones who describe their meals as though they're second-rate food reviewers who got a thesaurus for Christmas.

Q: What are you having for dinner?

A: thick-cut, lustrous brown, goose-fat-fried, tuberous root vegetable chips, oozing with vinegar and slathered in salt, positively smothered in mayonnaise; mouth-wateringly delectable ...

HuskyMcClusky · 22/01/2018 08:29

Foreigner DON’T FORGET THE CRUSTY BREAD

AnarchyKitty · 22/01/2018 09:25

That would be hand cut chips, artfully arranged on the plate floor tile, with artisan, home baked bread with a playful glass jam jar of iron bru to accompany it.

AnarchyKitty · 22/01/2018 09:26

Irn Bru!
Ffs, my auto correct hates my Scottishness!

WaggyMama · 22/01/2018 09:46

NancyDonahue you sound 'right on trend'. Is this your Autumn/Winter collection, or Spring/Summer '18 look?

TrickyD · 22/01/2018 09:57

"This eats well" says DH about a plate containing his dinner, having picked up this ridiculous phrase from Masterchef or similar.

No it doesn't, you tosser, the plate just sits there doing nothing, you are doing the eating.

Absolutely spot on. They are trying so hard to be a lacklustre copy of Alexa Chung. Alexa has style; most of the try-too-hards do not.

RoseWhiteTips · 22/01/2018 10:16

There is a thread on Style which is turgid and so earnest. Actually, it’s one of those Number 2, Number 3 etc ones. It started off as Franglais but was taken over by an individual who knows more about fashion that Jean Muir ever did.

RoseWhiteTips · 22/01/2018 10:16

... than Jean etc

GrandDesespoir · 22/01/2018 10:18

Come on, Waggymama, it's not a "collection", it's an "edit". Keep up!

fabulousfrumpyfeet · 22/01/2018 10:25

Ooh yes the ones that 'pair it with another on trend piece' also get up my nose.
They are clothes. You wear items of clothing with other items, you don't 'pair' them. You don't 'add a pop of colour', you stick on a bright scarf to stop you looking like a goth. You might look fashionable, or even trendy, but never,. ever, on trend. And if you have 'a red lip', or 'a smoky eye', you should be wondering where the other one is, as they do come in pairs.
I feel better now.

RoseWhiteTips · 22/01/2018 10:29

When they grant their worshipping audience a “photo included” treat, they pose like 3 year old girls trying to look cute: in pigeon toed style.
