One they also did that. Women (apparently) hate;

Cowboy boots
Short sleeved shirt with epaulettes
Non motorcycle leathers jackets
3 piece brown suits
Hoop and hook cashmere scarves
Ultra tight on bum jeans ESP boot cut
Bare ankles with suits
Skinny leg suits
Several buttons undone on shirts with no t shirt underneath
Timberlands .

I would add, and these are far worse than any listed in the Times;

Hideous Velcro sandals
Polo necks
Black shirts
T dyed t shirts bought when travelling as a student ( 24 yrs ago) in Thailand
Middle aged men wearing too tight Hollister/Abercrombie shirts
Ditto body warmers.
Middle aged pot bellied men in converse à la Boden catalogue sad
Novelty sweaters
Novelty anything ties,socks,boxers
Earrings
Man bags
Shirt and short combo
Tank tops
Pointy shoes

still hiding, hanging in there, I can do it

Drywhiteplease · 28/10/2013 21:38

Umm....short skirts,tight tops and heels....more of a DM article than Times really.

Good evening, lovely ladies!

Feels like forever since I was last here. Had loads going on lately and it's all got a bit manic. Hope I can keep in more regular touch now - I've missed you all!

Had a few days in the Emerald Isle over the weekend and it was great to see all my lovely ILs. SIL was as bad an influence as ever...it's a wonder (and due to Ryanair's stingy cabin baggage restrictions) that I only came home with some burgundy coated skinnies and white stretchy shirt from Massimo Dutti. I did get a bit busy online one night though and ended up buying a CdC skirt and jacket and Diesel fur gilet not to mention Barbour waxed jacket for DD2. Popped into town today and came home with some Hudson Rileys which I have been coveting since I went into the shop a couple of weeks ago for DSis' birthday pressie. They are gorge and, I thought, would go perfectly with the brown leather Prada messenger bag I was bidding for on ebay, until....I got outbid by 2 lousy quid in the final 4 seconds Angry.

Now I'm going for a catch up down the thread because I've missed so much...

shopafrolic · 29/10/2013 09:08

Grumpy!!! Welcome back. PLEASE can you post a picture of yourself on our board? I'm dying to 'meet' you. Your name doesn't match your wardrobe at all. Love the CdC.

House in chaos - decorator will be here for weeks, spare room full of stuff from office - they'll have to take us as they find us.
