will we EVER rid the concept of a TUNIC from S&B?

[Amblin]

no its none of my business
no there is still world poverty to worry about

etcetc

BUT STOP WITH TH TUNICS FFS

Spuddy try straight leg, I live by them & flares (when wearing jeans), I'm a tall size 10 with an ample arse, quite curvy, I have skinnies but they look ludicrous unless I turn them up to make 7/8 style trews, which I do with my straight legs & then wear with an ankle boot.

nope i still look like a parsip with straight leg jeans - or a turnip as my charming father said!

Just, I saw your new tunic/dress the other day and loved it

See, I would have to wear it with leggings as I'm just too old to work the sexy thighs look, even in opaques ... and am too bothered about keeping my legs warm

denim also is so uncomfortable, my fanjo is so sore when i wear it! flannel 40s style kathryn hepburn trolleys for me. comfy and flattering.

With you there Spuddy, I have a tweed pair with turn-ups that I heart very much. With a pair of brogues, white shirt & red, red lips I always feel like a film-noir goddess.

Oooh Spuddy they have some gorgeous Hepburn-esque 40's trousers on Vivien of Holloway.

If I wasn't virtually a leprechaun I'd snap em up

I think there are more options than blardy skinny, bootleg or leggings
If straight don't work try peg
Try v wide legged
Try rolled up chino
Try baggies

If they don't suit they don't suit

I love my tweed wide leg turn ups. Currently searching for another pair.

do they! I am struggling with my post preggo body. I am usually a pencil skirt/40s type look but it really is all about the waist. and mine hasn't sprung back yet :(

I getting married (rush) in Jan and just bought myself this dress www.coast-stores.com/breita-bandeau-maxi-dress/dresses/coast/fcp-product/2143420284 I am struggling with shoes. I thought a white satin bolero and pearls with long dark hair in waves - but i'm not sure. any advice gratefully recieved :)

Isn't tweed really difficult to make look un-frumpy though? I'm sure I'd just look like a butch riding instructor

Maybe tweed is a bit frumpy. I like to wear my trousers with mary jane heels and a skinny fit jumper or a fitted top/blouse, especially a victorian style one. I want a pair of checked or tartan wide legged trousers at the moment. Good quality wool ones. I know it's not at all fashionable, but fuck it, I live in the country and I'm now officially eccentric.

I'm deeply sad, because I'm 35 and would love to be a steam punk.

I like tweed trs for work. Nice shirt.

i love tweed. retro pencil skirts with a high waist and thick waist band look great with a fitted shirt, seemed stockings and chunky heeled round toed ox blood courts.

I love how scandalised fashionistas get when faced with women wearing comfortable clothes that they feel happy in, its hilarious. Of all the things to get stabby about, the sight of a woman daring to not conform to the boring as fuck trends surely should be way way way down the list, no?

Feed me your tears, fashion-types. I feast on your rage.

Tweed's probably okay if your thighs are un-gargantuan. (I don't qualify.)

Spuddy - start a thread in S&B and we'll help

For a start your dress is beautiful!

I wouldn't put a white satin bolero with it though. For a winter wedding I'd go with a faux fur capelet or stole. The contrast of texture with the dress would be more vintagey and luxurious.

Bunny Thank you so much, i am in love with these and may treat myself. in love

Okay Bunny, i'm going to start one now. I expect to see your input!

Tweed very sexy and cool at the same time a hard thing to achieve. I wish I had somewhere to wear it esp skirt

No probs Spud.

Just going to dinner, bath and bed the wee one but you'll see me later

Maybe tweed is a bit frumpy - Are you mad? Have you not seen the Spring collections?

Tweed's never frumpy, imo, unless you're wearing it with a load of jumpers underneath. In which case you're a country matron and don't give a fuck what people wear :)

I wear my tweed around the house and anywhere tbh. Every day can be a tweed day.

Haven't seen the spring collections. I'm ploughing my pennies into rennovating my house, so I would only cry when I realise I cannot afford the lovely clothes. Sob.

Love the dress Spud, but yes, more fur stole then satin bolero. Shoes, depends how tall you are & how long the dress is on you.

& tweed?? Sexy, sexy, sexy.

Thanks. I have started my own thread with a terrible spelling mistake so pop over and share your expertise - apologies for the hijack OP.
