The answer is always: doc martens and a carrier bag

For an autumn cover up with a sleeveless dress, why not keep your outdoor coat on. That way if anyone tries to talk to you, you can say "soz, I was just leaving"

So what's so wrong with asking for fashion advice on the style and beauty forum? Is there some sort of subtext that newbies should be aware of? Have to say that some of the comments on here seem unnecessarily harsh and unwelcoming, especially since you don't know the context in which someone may be posting. Hope you've made yourselves feel good, because you've done the opposite to me.

ellangirl · 28/08/2011 13:57

No need to be so rude- nobody deserves to be made to feel shitty just for asking for advice.

Just clicked on this as it was on most recent posts. Will avoid this section in future! Greenink and ellangirl, if you were in Style and Beauty on purpose, what did you expect to find except vacuous, rude bimbos? Let's run away quickly and leave them to each others company!

I am feeling a bit bad about loving this thread.

IslaValargeone · 28/08/2011 14:04

What a nasty post, not remotely amusing.

higgle · 28/08/2011 14:08

... Yes, but it is true. One current enquiry on here is about a Jigsaw dress - the site shows all the clothes with appropriate accessories and there are tabs to the right of the illustration with other suggestions.

....and if people do ask is it too much for them to put in a working link?

OriginalPoster · 28/08/2011 14:15

Guilty as charged. Blush I did ask what to wear with a dress last week (complete with non-working link) and some lovely people gave me great advice. I thought the Style and Beauty people liked rescuing people like me who haven't a clue.

UrsulaBuffayHere2Help · 28/08/2011 14:18

I think it was just a clutch of v similar thread titles, this one made me lol and I have no clue about accessorising.

TracyK · 28/08/2011 14:37

Surely the dress threads will die out now - wasn't it just the wedding season that had 2 or 3 seperate threads EVERY day!!! I still enjoyed reading them and looking at the links.
Now its got to be 'which winter boots/jacket' that will appear every 10 minutes!
I think Malcky is tongue in cheek - no need for people to take offense???

I AM. Nasty. Get over it. You don't like. Then block
