My blonde friend mentioned a while ago that she couldn't wear animal print because she was blonde and it would be 'too much' a nod too far towards bet lynch, but that it would suit me. I thought, mmm, know what you mean, mgiht be a bit cliched on a blonde.

Then lisa armstrong (times magazine) wrote that animal prints are gorgeous unless you ahve brown hair, then they're too frumpy.

and then i felt Confused

Any comments on this extremely important issue?

I can't find the article where he really lets rip but this makes his views clear.

I did lol MM and had ro re-read to make sure you were joking. Like bunny I feared your account had been taken over by some boden wearing housewife.

Uneprune - you are of course entitled to your opinion but you are wrong Grin

Seriously according to people on mn unless you are a size 6 and 21 or under oh and 5ft 10 you are not allowed to wear the following

  • leggings
  • maxi dresses
  • white jeans
  • skinny jeans
  • animal print

Seriously all that is left is a tunic and bootcut jeans with a nice anorak Wink

I would actually rather see someone wearing somthing fun/interesting than yet another dullsville white stuff/boden ensemble.

I think you can be too young for animal print, but not too old. animal print is a gentle no motther fucker's gonna mess with me even though I may look nice statement, n'est pas???. I don't think anybody under 30, (25 if you're a smoker) can pull it off.

j.,m.o!
