Am I being true to myself - or will I look like a fool? I am 41 and size 12.

I just liked it for some reason, but I am unsure if I will dare wear it for fear of sniggers. It's aimed at the (ultra lithe) teenage market really, isn't it?

What's the verdict?

You could wear it in an ironic sort of way

It is better than the pheasant print top.

Perplexing · 25/08/2013 16:46

It wasn't so bad Po, until I read the website description Sad

I wouldn't (sorry). I'd take it back...

mrspaddy · 25/08/2013 16:46

I think that is is a nice smartish casual top.. Not too young at all.

Perplexing · 25/08/2013 16:46

Grin at ironic. Thanks for being positive!

I'd wear it too, but would be waiting for somebody to ask if I liked horses (I don't).

The description is dire alright. I love navy though.

Perplexing · 25/08/2013 16:48

My son likes it as he is a big fan of white (grey) horses (not real ones - the chalk ones carved into the hillsides around the parts where we live).

I may email them about the description. My 5 year old could have done better. It's almost as if they don't want to sell any!

YY to practical. The horse may fade with washing. But then I could just buy a plain navy top for £6. But it's nice soft fabric. desperate

Sorry but I just hate T shirts or tops with emblems or anything like that.

I mean why? Just why would anyone want a top with a horse on it- unless you're 12, it's your horse and you're mucking out or something.

Think it's daft for anyone and especially a grown woman. sorry :)

Kezztrel · 25/08/2013 18:07

I would totally wear that OP (am 31)! Yes I know it's not very grown up but who cares, there's no need to be grown up and sophisticated all the time. I have a grey French Connection sweatshirt with sequin rabbits on the front which I adore, and a playsuit with butterflies all over it Blush They're for casual days not days when you need to be taken seriously!

SundaySimmons · 25/08/2013 18:40

I'd quite like that as a cushion cover!

I don't like pictures or words in tops and prefer to wear a plain top with a snazzy scarf.

There, I said snazzy! I am about 94 though. :(

pourmeanotherglass · 25/08/2013 18:48

would look stupid on me (big boobs), but I'd quite like that on someone fairly flat chested, even an adult.

K8Middleton · 25/08/2013 18:55

Joules is aiming for the teenage market??! Rofl. They are totally 35-55 market so at 41 you should be perfect.

But really, if you like it wear it. Fuck what anybody else thinks.

MrsHoarder · 25/08/2013 18:58

Its very middle aged, to much money, not much style to me. But then I generally hate joules

NorfolkIngWay · 25/08/2013 18:58

Neigh !!

Perplexing · 25/08/2013 19:02

Norfolk - LOL v good. I can always cut it up into a cushion cover!

K8 - lots of (horsey) teens wear it around here. Hence the horse design (maybe?)

NorfolkIngWay · 25/08/2013 19:08

Hahaha ! Grin

Perplexing if you like it wear it with pride !
Did you see the fox jumper eeek !?
