Have just seen a beige ( supposedly grey)fake fur coat that is not sexy but love it. It's cosy.

Am also partial to chunky knits and heritage fabrics. Anyone else?

Will not stretch to mum boots though!

I fear, at the grand old age of 24 (and with no children), I am a wearer of mum boots! Blush

I really need to update my style!

Oblique27 · 30/12/2014 23:11

Blimey! I was just contemplating a waterfall cardi for " dress down Friday's" at work.....didn't realise it was a style sin... What do the poised people of MN recommend for a cold office then please?

OneLittleLady · 30/12/2014 23:16

My onesies. I have four, yes FOUR of them and I love them. I have no regrets and no shame

queenbrunhilda · 30/12/2014 23:29

Fancying Mrs Brown's coat (well really her whole wardrobe) seen here

KissMyFatArse · 30/12/2014 23:42

Just gonna throw this out there as I'm seriously considering spending my Christmas vouchers on.....
Over the knee boots!
Thoughts???

LaurieFairyCake · 30/12/2014 23:58

Are you Maid Marion?

Or a hooker from Pretty Woman? Grin

You are only going to get away with this if you're really tall

RedTinsel · 30/12/2014 23:58

queen I thought you meant Mrs Brown off Mrs Browns Boys for a minute there! Even my mum would turn her nose up at that!

queenbrunhilda · 31/12/2014 00:13

Sorry Red - was at the cinema earlier. Spent half the film wondering where it was from?

And getting confused now about frumpy boots and kinky boots - which are the mum ones?

FrugalFashionista · 31/12/2014 00:15

Used to have a twin set fetish. Now it's midi skirts, though just one from h&m and the gazinskaya dress from stories.

PinkOboe what size of CM are you wearing? (I have an extra pair that needs a new home)

Mum boots are back with vengeance - and otks are red-hot too, just don't do that mid-riff contraption.

Oh god, you can't get me out of a zip up fleece these days.

I'm frump central.

Didactylos · 31/12/2014 00:31

I am probably pretty frumpish
but I do it ironically
or is that out too? Confused

Megglevache · 31/12/2014 00:31

TheYuletideMovement · 31/12/2014 00:35

Some of those hipster men are gorgeous.

KissMyFatArse · 31/12/2014 00:40

Laurie I'm neither Shock I'm still wanting them tho!

I need a slap to the dish pronto.

Megglevache · 31/12/2014 00:42

No to those boots they look so cheapo!

SwedishEdith · 31/12/2014 00:50

But what make are the boots? (The hipster site ones, not the over the knee ones!)

TheYuletideMovement · 31/12/2014 01:00

Had a google and they seem to be these www.theunionbootpro.com/. Clicked on a different site first and it brought me to a sex webcam site Angry

SwedishEdith · 31/12/2014 01:05

Excellent! Not about the porn site... Hmm, they're quite expensive - shame. I like them.
