Things that annoy me on S&B because

[MrsCampbellBlack]

yes I'm in that type of mood today . . .

The main one is the often commented 'oh you can only wear that if you're tall and thin'.

I mean if you have the figure of a model it goes without saying surely you can pretty much wear anything.

But what are the rest of us meant to wear.

It may look best on someone tall and slim but that doesn't mean if you're not those things that you still can't look good.

Oh and it is allowed for people to spend £££ on clothes - just because some people don't it doesn't make those who do bad people.

And relax . . .

and the reverse is also true, Nan. That I, as a relatively small-breasted woman, must never wear v-necks but cover up my scrawny chest with a polo neck.

[BelovedCunt]

i love it when someone links to some hideousity dress because let face it s&b i all about the sneering

[PharoahNuff]

i dont think so. i LOVE talking make up on here. i dont see that many vile things on here at all.

[gapants]

getorf I have a very nice trench thank you very much //[[[[sniffs]]]], looks great with straight leg jeans rolled up, gold ballet flats and 2 v- thin Gap scoop neck t-shirts layered natch.

Am bored out of my brains by wedding dress hunts though....

[BelovedCunt]

the jaeger thread?

[DarrellRivers]

Hate 'mummy tummy'

Joins in with vomiting

[PharoahNuff]

i LOVE it when someone says " these are my new shoes i LOVE them" and is very funny when everyone goes " oyu are nuts"

and the shoes are like this www.schuh.co.uk/irregular-choice/womens-navy-and-white-irregular-choice-oz-charm-bow-floral/1158255970

[DarrellRivers]

The v-neck thing for the large of cleavage is very true though
(hasn't worn a polo-neck for decades)

[DarrellRivers]

I love S&B though, you are the only non mental topic left really

[PharoahNuff]

agree.
its lovely.

[coastgirl]

I like "WOW you have TWO pairs of jeans. I have been wearing the same jeans since I was three and they are still perfectly good. Can't understand why anyone needs TWO pairs of jeans".

Or "what maternity clothes do I need" where people immediately talk about how they got through nine months with nothing more than a bobble through the buttonhole and "one of DH's shirts". Sure, you can do that, but the war is over! Buy nice things!

[DarrellRivers]

Although when credit card is maxed out I do have to avoid S&B for a bit
I always buy lovely things after reading a few threads

[FoundWanting]

Worse than the Irregular Choice shoe threads are the, I've just spent £££ on these fantastic sandals, come and tell me how marvellous they are!!! threads.

[NanAstley]

Darrell I know the V-neck thing is true. BUT I don't like being told that I cannot ever ever wear crew necks.

The only rules I obey are the ones that I have found work (or don't) for ME. Like, empire-line dresses make me look pregnant; smock-tops make me look pregnant; tight-fitting tees make my tummy look pregnant. Is anyone else sensing a theme here?

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Loving the bobble through the buttonhole

And I do love s&b too - its scary out in the real mn world

I'm afraid I hate the what can i wear as i am fat...that will make me look good.
the answer is nowt. Lose some bloody weight. it's not rocket science.

[GetOrf]

Polo necks very good for me as have long goose neck and am very long waisted to look flattering. Also make me look 2 cup sizes bigger.

I laughed long and loudly at a S&B thread where they waxed lyrical about sthose Not Your Daughters Jeans. I don't understand the appeal. I want to wear my daughter's jeans (in fact, frequently do)

Actually there are only 2 real points to S&B threads

-the biannual pisstake of per una
-the annual point and laugh at scousers in their finery at aintree

[GetOrf]

I don't really go by rules however anyone who has even a semblance of hips should stay away from the bias cut.

Actually everyone should stay away from the bias cut, is a bit dated and mid 90s matthew williamsony. You would look like someone who buys theur clothes from designers at Debenhams.

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Heh heh heh!

Had no idea Style & Beauty was such an angsty hotbed of hate.

I thought youze were all saying to one another "Oh but you look marvellous darling" and showing photos of your latest getups.

How wrong I was . Must have a lurk sometime.

[noddyholder]

I look good in a trench coat jeans and shirt!

[dexter73]

Oh god Not your daughters jeans are just the most awful item of clothing ever to be sold! They sell them in Marjories (a clothes shop for old laydies) in my town. I cannot believe that anyone who has ever seen them would actually buy them as they are so horrible and expensive!!!

[noddyholder]

I agree dexter they are hideous!

[Deaddei]

FoundWanting...they do look comfy though!!
S and B is one of my favourites. Love the vision of GetOrf looking like a tranny in glittery things....so do I.

[gapants]

noddy i bet we both look tres chic
