Someone asked what frumpy is - new collections special

[Emo76]

I think this is, hope that helps

actually this is worse

I am trying to find some dresses on the same site to give a positive view on.

Phew! I was a bit worried that I was going to like the dresses, but you're right.

Will you leave per una alone i am young 37 and funky snort and i have several peroooona things ...including a lush scarf and pink linen jacket.

What about this smashing blouse and cardi ?

Or this lovely long denim skirt?

This whole page is frump central

I used to work in Next and they did a variation on these every year. They were best sellers, but they are in my opinion, the ultimate mum boot.
Especially when worn with light blue jeans.......

The denim skirt is the limit imo. I think even supposedly nice denim skirts are frumpy unless you are size 8 and wearing a frayed one with a bikini in india otherwise nooooooooooo

My goodness, those mum boots are awful!

I am 37 and would not touch Per Una with my Mum's.

I get ID'd for most of my booze purchases which Ithink is helped by the style of clothes I wear and my Mac creme blush.

I look in my wardrobe and sigh, then I find one of these threads and feel a lot brighter.

Thanks!

My eyes!! Those dresses are appalling, esp the maxi one. And that skirt, and those hideous boots.

Noddy - I have a stretchy-denim above knee pencil skirt that I wear in winter with jumpers and long boots. Is that allowed or do I need to Ebay it forthwith?

Tanyaaah, I'd wear that blouse and cardi... I should probably just accept my fate, right? :(

I nominate this ensemble

Sorry monal!

i think the denim skirt wins. and from a FRENCH catalogue no less. i actually quite like that cardie though. i am not sure what to make of myself now!

einsty no lynching here

We'll have to start a thread about it in a minute Tough.

this with this is classic frump wear.

Team with pop socks and jaunty coloured shoes covered with stick on flowers.

Oooh, that top is nasty.

Aye but if skanky Kate Moss was seen wearing any of that gear you'd all be "OMG that skirt/dress is lush"

And almost anything from the Lands End catalogue.

Young vicar's wife is the frump look really isn't it?

Sorry to all the fashion forward vicars wives out there!
