The phrase "Breton top" makes me heave

[MaureenShit]

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

[DonaAna]

And they keep asking why the AW thread went underground...

Time for another MN break for me, I'm afraid.

[MaureenShit]

lol - thanks Dona. so thoughtful

[MaureenShit]

lol at po

You pop your colour

[greenhill]

DonaAna you offer such helpful advice, please don't be gone long. I lurk on your perfume threads.

Currently there seem to be an awful lot of posters complaining that they don't like certain aspects of MN, I wish they were the ones that would stop posting, to not spoil it for everyone else.

I completely agree that specialist topics have their own specialised language.

"A trouser" makes me want to kill the sayer. I heard Trinny and bloody Susannah say "a jean" once.

I do like Breton tops though. Proper ones

[chewingguminmyhair]

'A black pant'!

[lurkingaround]

Breton, for anyone interested. A nice read.

[ArielThePiraticalMermaid]

Though I can understand people feeing pissed off with a terminal whinger in a particular section.

It's like someone piling into the Litter Tray and going on about how rubbish cats are.

Anyway apologies. I only came in because of Active Convos.

But a Breton Top is different to a ordinary stripey T shirt. It's a particular styling, spacing of stripes and neckline. They are usually quire heavy fabric.

I am no style guru, but I have bern wearing Breton tops from sailing shops and France for 25 years. Also stripey Ts from the high street. Not the same thing.

[MaureenShit]

lol at Ariel

[Branleuse]

i call them breton tops. Theyre different from stripy tops., Its a distinct style.
get over it

[MaureenShit]

PLEASE let people have a huff over a t shirt

falls to knees

[ArielThePiraticalMermaid]

Why are you lol-ing at me?

I'm leaving now. Sorry S&B.

[MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe]

Bad Maureen. I suggest that you sit in the naughty corner and have a think about your attitude, young lady.

[AmberNectarine]

These threads do seem pointlessly negative and repetitive.

One wonders where she gets the energy, at her age.

[BrandyAlexander]

I just said this on another thread......

You don't like thread? Hide it. Simple.

Perhaps I should say here.....

You don't like topic? Hide it. Simple.

HTH.

[porridgeLover]

Dona Ana. I want to your post at 9.13
I have had perhaps 3 posts on this board but I adore lurking here.
I've bought products based on your enthusiasm. Ive learned new brands (new Cos addict).
I don't mind a little bit of undermining pomposity (of which there is a lot in fashion) but a continuous stream of dislike says more of the proposer than the subject.

[shine0ncrazydiamond]

Now..how did I know this would be you I opened the thread?

[chewingguminmyhair]

I thought style and fashion was supposed to be fun? We can take the piss, surely!

I like the style and beauty boards and I like this thread.

[dexter73]

novice - I'm not sure if your post is aimed at Maureen or the people who have come on here to complain, it could apply to both!

[BrandyAlexander]

Dexter73 it's both . What's with the whingers this morning? I like S & B because it's good fun and the regulars are light hearted. I like reading about what other people have or like or want. If it would upset me, I would hide topic, rather than coming to spoil it for everyone else.

You'd love my look today, Big Mo. Breton, skinnies, red lip. I am channeling Riviera chic, an homage to Bardot. Albeit one teamed with a sheepskin slipper, and a pop of silver in my hair.
