Ladies do be careful if you are entering Marks and Spencer

[Themumsnot]

I was almost blinded today.
Boots have a half-price sunglasses offer on if you really have to go past Per Una.

Wow !
Does Mylene know she's been replaced with Demis Roussos ????

OMG. That really is horrible.

I know someone who will absolutely love that.

I will forward the link to her. Her DH and DCs will want to kill me, but not to worry.

Wow! Do you think I should get one for my summer hols this year!!?

I've got one of those!

I am a size 24 and now am worried about the Demis Roussos comment. Will I look too big? My neighbour said I looked "mindblowing."

I like it on her

I need to lie down in a darkened room and seek spiritual guidance.

That should carry a health warning.

Anyone pregnant or wearing a pacemaker needs to sign a disclaimer and seek their GP's permission to open that link.

Believe it or not, it actually looks worse in the flesh than on the website as the colours are brighter.
Cicatrice - think carefully, you might have to hang out with her when she's wearing it.
Although at least you wouldn't need a tent if you took her along on a camping holiday.

It's fine, Hully. Just carry a spare pair of shades in your handbag for a friend.

Just imagine breezing into work in that snazzy little number .....

"Oh, yes .... just a little somethng I spotted while out shopping at the weekend........"

that would go really well with the palazzo pants flagged on this board earlier this week ...

Really Hully? If you like it that's great.

I don't mind Themumsnot I've been around her in far worse.

And not all my fashion choices whisper "classic style" either.

It reminds me of Endora from Bewitched. Hully, I hope you have got some liquid eyeliner and extra string hold hairspray?

No I haven't. Why do you want me to look silly?

I think it is beautiful, it is like the sea, when you walk it shimmers around you like wavelets. Many people have commented. No one has said I have stringy hair.

Oh I am sorry to have offended you. It was meant to be light hearted rather than piss taking but it obviously didn't sound that way so I am sorry.

It IS quite groovy 60s but that's not a bad thing if you can carry it off (which I can't).

It's not 60's, I just bought it. How can it be 60's?

It's a revival look. I think it actually looks better on plus size shapes than in model sizes. I'll bet on you it looks more batwing dress than full on kaftan.

They probably had some old stock they wanted to shift.

Have been in two large M and S stores recently and just can't think who Per Una are aimed at (please don't say over 50s, as I and I'm sure many others share the general horror at the 'brand').

Great. So now I've got stringy hair and am a plus size with batwings.

Thanks. I was feeling really good about myself until this thread. I managed a quite long walk today and not many biscuits. Might as well finish the packet.

Hully Chuck me a biscuit. It's for your own good.

Ah see, it would drown me as I'm fairly small, but I actually quite like it- I love bright stuff. So hully, if you can pull it off, wear it with pride

I love the 1970s Margot ledbetter / abigails party look
