the mn style shop presents middle aged adn mumsy? how to get your groove back

[TheFish]

all suggestions welcome!

1. apply body lotion every day

i am not convinced totally abotu the take over of skinny jeans when half the nation will look effin naff in them

Hope that the fact you're sporting a bump that means you're too large for "stylish" means it's OK that you wear either a pair of jeans or a pair of black trousers (depending which is in the wash) with either a black or white top every fricking day

Agree with the fish on going out regularly, but not 'around town' on a bar hop. Tis for young things who wear backless tops and minis in winter only.

Ummm - so why do you think that black bootlegs are so 'no,no' ginger? - and is this the general concensus?

agree beety

i htink they mean the naff polyeyer mix ones that 16year olds wear

wide legs v stylish

my main objection is to anything that my mum would call "slacks"

hunker is excused, for now!

ooh yes blak trwes are amaaternity staple

read the papers
find omethign interesting to talk about

I have to go (work to do) but black trousers OK if good material and hang well. I agree with the fish that they are difficult to find tops to go with, if I wear them they make me lazy and I stick to the same things and get in a rut. If trousers are coloured, makes you think more about what you should be wearing. (remember black trouser rule is this mumsnetter's personal opinion, not necessarily the consensus. The value of shares may go up and down, and your home is at risk if you do not keep up payments on a loan.....etc)

OMG am total MOOSE and guilty of all the former mumsy crimes.

Have turned into Camilla Parker Bowles but without the sex life.

you mae ke LaRF

nake me larf
god my keyboard in knackered

or the horses.

you're right about the black trousers actually
I end up wearing black tops with them, look like waitress
chic french waitress but waitress nevertheless

listen to radio 4
read newspapers
also Heat for balance

I'm wearing black trousers and a pink top.

Mind you I'm not so much middles aged as nearing OAP status ( had a birthday yesterday and am feeling it)

HUFF My thread has been ecplipsed

Don't over pluck your eyebrows. Get them professionally done first and then follow their lines.

Patterned tights look universally awful (in my humble opinion) if yuou can see vast expanses of thigh or shin. Even chic frenchies look ghastly in scarred calves mode.

yes but getem pluckedd
