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

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

etcetc

BUT STOP WITH TH TUNICS FFS

I'd love to be able to wear skinny jeans with a loose sweater on top, but my boobs are massive and the sweater just ends up hanging in a most unflattering way. Then I do look pregnant.

Are tunics even still about? I've seen long jumpers and jumper dresses. When does a long top or short dress become a tunic?

Hmm, I hate necklaces. And wide-fitting stripes sound so flatterin

Skinnies look crap on me because I am bigbummed hourglass.
Jumper dress and opaques fine, but not much different from the condemned tunic and leggings.

Then what use is it Djembe?

If you're young and thin you don't need S&B, you look good in a plastic bag you horrible old cow

"Tunics and leggings are only one step away from pyjamas"

And that's a BAD thing???

Why suffer in uncomfortable, restrictive, ride-around your body clothing when the high street (for once in its effing life) has given us lovely comfortable, practical, washable, non-iron alternatives.

I find scarves and neclaces look ridiculous on me as Im small framed (albeit fat)
and I dont get on with knits or T';s or anything that clings

and I NEED a below waist coverage...if I had one

jumper dress...hmmm frumpy

Well I am wearing a fleece today. Not just any fleece, a big fuck off fluffy fleece and I care not a jot! I look sensational. (obvs)

Some jumper dresses are frumpy, but I've also seen nice bodycon ones. I'll not be wearing the bodycon ones though, as I can't find any exercises to lift my saggy arse. It used to be so pert - sob.

I don't give a toss what S&B think, which is why I hardly ever post here. In just interested to see what people think I should be wearing. You're all so quick to say what not to wear.

I think I need to get my tunic checked. voila

Is there any hope?

HAH!

I came here last year feeling frumpy at 45 and was URGED to wear leggings, flat boots and a tunic top! (size 14, apple shape, great legs). URGED!

Now I see it was all a plot to make me look mumsy... well too bad. I look fecking excellent in them, even if I say so myself.

Anyone who recommends wide short sweaters to anyone over a size 8 wants shooting anyway....

I dont actually think jumper dresses are frumpy :)
I look like a sack of spuds in them but Ive seen some people look lovely in them.

I live in djembe's suggested outfit - skinny jeans, man's cashmere jumper and ankle boots. I am thinnish but I am really, really not stylish. It's not what you wear, it's how you wear it. Tunic wearers look a lot more stylish than me I guarantee it.

The blunt answer is if I were size 22 I personally would go on a diet. So I can't advise what to wear.

er, what if you were size 12 or 14?

I'd wear a jumper. Not a tunic. That's all.

They are cake enablers. Jeggings too.

Noddy suggested this once and she was right. Those stretchy waistbands made me put on a stone of lard

lol at you horrible old cow.

I don't like idea of statement necklces. What statement am I making? That I am the type of person to wear costume jewellery?

I also don't like jaunty scarves. I think they make you look like a twat from the Apprentice.

I don't accessorise at all really

Good god, I hate costume jewellery too, especially the large stuff. Why do people bother?

I don't accessorise either, it's flouncy bollocks and as soon as I put it on, I want to immediately rip it off.

I wore one the other day. Made a hell of a row.

I saw a photo of me recently taken in something like 2003 where I had wooden earrings on which were shaped like parrots. Parrot shaped earrings. This is why I do not wear costume jewellery, I am not to be trusted.

Is it scarves or scarfs?

Lol. I know. We all have moments of weakness.

Scarves

I could write a very long list of the monstrosities I have mistakenly bought, I think we all could.

Top of the list for me would be a boob tube with military pockets details.

AND every one shouldered dress (with or without ruffles and frills) I have bought in the mistaken belief that somehow I should dress like Andrea Redfern.
