I bought a white coat in the sales to look like Olivia Pope, but I actually resemble a middle aged taekwando instructor

That made me laugh I have bought a padded jacket / coat with a fake fur hood - - honestly I look like I am going out wrapped in a duvet ( see previous posts where models are size 6 and 6 foot odd - I am not )

Oh my word , how funny have these posts been I just love women , I don’t think you would get a bunch of guys being so self deprecating.

I have a beautiful faux fur animal print coat
DO YOU WANT TO BINGO 🤣
My friend tried a cute mac on, great charity shop find. I burst out laughing (couldn't help it) HAVE YOU SEEN MY FRIEND KIMBERLEY. needless to say she didnt buy. We still laugh about it now. Every time we try something bad on Kimberley comes out

NO!
Shoes stay in box

Even make up can be dangerous. I bought some pale grey Essie nail varnish that I thought would make me look understated and chic (there’s a pattern here isn’t there?) Alas, I just looked as if I had Tippex on my fingers.

I have enjoyed this thread greatly.

I tried a pair of leather look trousers sooo cool and reduced too. My friend said that I would look great in them. Off to the the changing i room went. Two minutes later I screamed with laughter. Mate popped in to my bottom hanging out. Trousers were so low slung that when I bent over to put boots on. My full arse fell out 🤬 not hipsters more fannysters

Omg! I'm howling here.
I've had enough faux pas of my own. One my dB always reminds of is a hideous lime green shirt with one of those elasticy material maxi skirts in the same shade and matching shoes in my teens . I thought I was the epitome of elegance. In reality I looked like a crazy person with aspirations of being a tree.
I am so glad camera phones weren't really a thing then

Those skirts are really dangerous. If you accidentally step on the hem they get pulled down. Apparently. A friend told me. Ahem.

Fuck, I’ve just bought a white coat in the Jigsaw sale.
Now beginning to realise why it was reduced to £75 from £250 😬😬
It’s not even arrived yet, and already regretting it.

This thread is hilarious. Just what I needed.

The sequinned blazer from Lidl however.... I was embarrassed to even look at myself in the mirror. Had high hopes for a glitzy Christmas night out outfit, looked like a camp game show host.

It’s this one.
It’s so going to look like a dressing gown, isn’t it? 😩

No, it'll look like a karate suit top
Or maybe taekwondo

But a very nice dressing gown.........

@tigerbear agree Veterinari more a martial arts look, but the model carries it off so you never know...

@Blowingagale @Veterinari @SlatternIsMyMiddleName I’ll report back once it arrives.
The model is prob around 6ft, and I’m about a foot shorter, so no doubt it’ll look ridiculous!!

Only if you're very short.
Otherwise, yep, it's a winter-weight gi.

One of the reviews says the belt is too long. Duh, that's so you can put a fancy knot in it. (Actually it's way too short)

Put a black belt round it, you’ll never get any hassle ever again

You could try a nice bright scarf with it.
May work, may not

Woman dressed as fab always makes me laugh

Ho, ho, I am smiling at "woman dressed as fab"!

A few years ago...
Big night out for my birthday. Second time 'out out' in 3 years with friends & DH. Ordered below dress online (IN THE RIGHT BLOODY SIZE) thinking with my hair done, nice make up I would look chic & elegant. DH would be taken aback & reminded of the glamorous & intelligent woman he had married rather than the milk squirting, panda eyed grumpy snack snuffling beast I had become.

Nope it arrived & I looked like someone had bound down my tits with velvet & then encased me in a velvet sausage skin. Unsurprisingly it was returned.

Velvet is a hard fabric to carry off, I'm small and look like a chunky monkey init
