The phrase "Breton top" makes me heave

[MaureenShit]

No one says this in rl. They say "a stripey t shirt " fgs

Same with 'crisp white shirt' - makes me stabby.

Also "a slim trouser" and "sourcing a piece", rather than buying something FGS

It's the way posters on HERE talk. Fair enough in copy. Bit keep it out if here. ballet flats

Those endless fuck whittery humble brag what are you wearing today threads.

They make me stabby

So don't read style and beauty!

I reserve the right to whinge.

I reserve the right to spout endless fuck whittery !

Maureen - I sense a theme with your threads.......

I may wear a breton top today with a skinny jean

I find Breton tops make me feel stabby whether or not anyone talks about them. Not sure what it is about them that annoys me so.

You see 'stabby' annoys me - its one step away from 'squee'

Maureen, I think you might feel more comfortable somewhere else.
This used to be a friendly and supportive place.
Why spend time here if everyone is so ridiculous.
Each subspecialty has its jargon. Fashion has its own language, learn it and respect it, or start your own forum.

'Worn with a red lip' gets me all aerated.

Bravo, Dona

Nothing humble about my bragging btw, I have an amazing wardrobe. :)

I think I must be a bit gullible - I'd rather buy a Breton top than a striped t-shirt.

To clarify, I don't like the terms I quoted in magazine copy etc, not bothered what people use on MN.

Exactly Penelope, you can be French and interesting in a Breton. In a striped top you are just a comedy burglar.

Also "teamed with" , "on trend" "rocking " as in...

"She is so on trend, rocking the Breton stripe teamed with a slim trouser"

Ah, but if it is a genuine Breton top, with an authentication label, as bought by Granny for my DC, when on holiday and accompanied by a bilingual book (for a 4 yo) I have to refer to it as that, in an arch sort of way, you understand

I shall wear a breton today, with slim jeans and my 'ambers' (otherwise known as Ash wedge trainers)

I can't do a red lip though.

But I may wear a piece of statement jewell

I'll second Dona fashion does have it's own language and a Breton top simply describes the style of top, it's not simply a striped top, that can mean so many styles of tops.

I don't be on S&B an awful lot but every time I am you are moaning and slagging things off Maureen I don't think that's what S&B is about. Maybe that's why I don't come here an awful lot.
