I'd have to ban Crocs, unless they're on small children.

Impulse body spray..stinks

Anyone else?

I quite often go out with my teen with both of us wearing Converse. Nobody has fallen over in shock and horror yet. Grin

I love this thread. I doubt there's any woman in Britain who doesn't wear something listed on here. That's why I love S&B too tbh.

TheSpottedZebra · 08/04/2016 11:16

Ha, I tick off loads on this list too, but I do so quite cheerfully.

I've already identified as a member of the buttersoft feet crew, so it's no surprise that I can tick off the first item (Crocs), as well as their Ikea copy. I wear them about the house. The latter are ace, as the front bit is really thick, so they protect my feet when I clumsily hoof the kitchen cabinets.

I also have an extensive collection of fleece and conversely, of 'animal'. I don't have any animal print fleece, so that's a nice shoppertunity right there....

pearlylum · 08/04/2016 11:20

Ikea do crocs!! Why didn't anyone tell me!!!

MamaLazarou · 08/04/2016 11:45

'Plucked eyebrows'? WTF is wrong with plucked eyebrows? Do you mean OVER-plucked eyebrows?

BrendasGotABaby · 08/04/2016 11:54

So...we are all going around life judging each other's fashion crimes all the time, then, basically? Grin

Plucked eyebrows
Fake tan
Waterfall cardis
Converse
Long red nails
Breton tops
Animal print

Love 'em all Grin

Currently wearing high waisted skinny jeans, a top from mum-shop Joules, have long red nails and the dreaded 'its too long for your age' K-Middy hair, and I fake tanned last night. Arrest me! Wink

Ohdearohdearme · 08/04/2016 12:41

Superdry or any clothes with the brand name printed large - who wants to look like a walking advert?
Women dolled up to the nines with tv-presenter hair / makeup / nails / heels while wearing wearing jeans and knitwear during the day - make your mind up!
Beige and tan anything really - washes most people's complexions out.
Tatoos. I've yet to see a tattoo that I think enhances anyone's appearance.
I've never understood women who wear skyscraper heels they can barely walk in to do the weekly shop.
Excessive jewellery, especially gold.
Anything Per Una.

I love big beards on men, have dyed my hair plum on many occasion and have numerous floral skater dresses. Each to their own...

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 08/04/2016 12:43

Animal print in singular is good, but don't mix your animals Wink

MamaLazarou · 08/04/2016 12:44

Oh yes, I love big beards on men, too - the bigger the better. Mmmm... furry.

BrendasGotABaby · 08/04/2016 12:51

I was shopping for food in Marks the other day and found my eyes wandering approvingly over several Per Una items.

squoosh · 08/04/2016 12:53

I'm SO OVER big beards. And beardy men who dress like Victorian butchers.

squoosh · 08/04/2016 12:56

Oh Brenda Sad

I'm afraid it's far too late for you. If this was England during the Black Death I'd be boarding you into your house and painting a red cross on your front door.

Lord 'ave mercy on your soul Bren.

TheSpottedZebra · 08/04/2016 12:58

You don't paint crosses on doors for Per Una-itis, Squoosh. You glue on sequins. And ruffles. And applique kittens. And then some more sequins.

Lottapianos · 08/04/2016 13:01

have to challenge you on that on 70. I have a friend who is an animal print devotee - she once went out wearing 4 different types of animal print, in different colours (scarf, top, cardi, trainers). Not everyone could pull it off but she looked fab Grin

Oh god yes I'm a big beard fancier as well - excellent taste MamaLazarou

Maxi dresses and skirts are the work of the devil and suit virtually nobody

Six inch heels with a big platform so your foot looks like a trotter - ugh

Exposed feet in the summer which are...... lets say in need of a little TLC . Cut your toenails and wash and moisturise your feet people, at a bare minimum, for the love of sanity

Leggings worn with no bum covering of any description - no. Just no.

Chipped nail varnish. I don't just mean a tiny little flake missing, I mean properly chipped to hell. I have a colleague who wears nail varnish on her horrible, broken off, all different lengths nails and the polish is usually more off than on. I want to beg her to just cut her nails short and ditch the polish for once and for all. It makes me queasy

I am no fashionista but I think I look pretty decent and I actually own a couple of items from Per Una - just nice plain soft fitted jumpers, nothing to scare the horses. 99% of their stock is either hilarious or terrifying

squoosh · 08/04/2016 13:01
Grin

And then I'd have to run back and attach another ruffle and another sequin or two. Because you can never have too many right?!

bolleauxnouveau · 08/04/2016 13:08

I always fancied the glamour of a long fake fur coat but then I remember my mum had one till my brother told her she looked like a womble.

BennyTheBall · 08/04/2016 13:09

I am currently Kondo-ing my wardrobe and have found (so far) 14 breton tops!

smearedinfood · 08/04/2016 13:18

I'm in skinny jeans, Breton top, tinted eybrows and converses. Ponders what Katie Hopkins would wear (WWKHW).

WWKHW? - Heels and twinset with pencil skirt when changing nappies.
WWKHW?- Dress trousers, Court shoes and French Plait, when gathering lego from under the couch
WWKHW? - Waterproof Poncho, Shirtdress with Pearls, and Hunter Wellies, when it pisses down with rain and you have to do the school run.

dragonsarebest · 08/04/2016 13:30

LOL! This thread is hilarious!

But now every item of clothing or adornment ever invented is in room 101 what do we wear???

BennyTheBall · 08/04/2016 13:42

I bloody love Converse.

motherinferior · 08/04/2016 13:56

This thread has reminded me to book another piercing.

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 08/04/2016 14:04

Love, love, love Converse, New Balance and breton tops Smile

One man's meat is another man's poison and all that...

squoosh · 08/04/2016 14:06

I can't be bothered with Breton tops any more.

MamaLazarou · 08/04/2016 14:53

A hair shirt, dragonsarebest Grin

Lotta has reminded me: fingernails of all different lengths. Shock Heebie Jeebies! People who talk about breaking their 'longest nail'. WHY? Just cut them all the same length, you massive weirdo!

randomer · 08/04/2016 14:59

don't like those boots that are like UGGS but are fabric....look like something worn by the upper classes in the trenches in WW1

inspired by this thread I have bought proper trews from Monsoon and thrown out the New Look size 16 grey leggings. The ones with the bleach on them when I wiped my hand down one leg.
