Remind me what a sparkly jumper says about a woman?

[snowleopard]

I bought this in the toast post-sale sale, as it said it had a "subdued glimmer" which I thought sound rather sophisticated. In RL it looks as if it's had a pot of glitter poured over it (admittedly it does have glitter in its name but I was distracted by the other bit)

I actually like it but I seem to remember sparkly tops being the ultimate sign of naff mumsiness or some such, according to Style Court of Mumsnet. Enlighten me please as to what message I will be sending out.

sparkle = hooker

oooh, i'm wearing that right now .

sorry about typo

sparkly = looker

I like them as long as they are discreetly sparkly - ie not completely covered with sequins - and not too tight or low cut. And dress them down, not up. Don't wear anything else sparkly at the same time, or anything brightly coloured. That's my opinion, but I would also say, if you like it, wear it and don't worry about what other people think!

yes, i wear mine with jeans. sometimes with a gap black cashmere tunic thing over the top. i like it so much (i have the charcol/silver one), i've ordered a brown one....

Erm, no, no I think not.

You will not see me in sparkly knitwear b/c it is probably synthetic fibre.

I thought I read somewhere that sparkly knitwear was code for a woman who does pegging ;-).

How many have you got, NQC ?

Hi again all... Hoxtonchick, the exact same one? Well, I feel I'm in cool company! I also have the charcoal/silver - I wore it yesterday with jeans and got a compliment so my mumsy sparkly vibe is going well. I agree, definitely a casual thing, I wouldn't glam it up with fuchsia leggings and gold heels.

Pegging? Do you mean dogging?

the exact one! it's not synthetic expat, that would make me run a mile.... nqc, pegging? enlighten us!

I think NQC is teasing...
I think

But... we don't know what pegging is yet

Oh, goodness, do you mean you lot are wearing the code without knowing what it means? I'm for you! Here's a webpage (with nice diagram!) explaining what pegging is.

I'm not British, I don't do teasing! ;-)

pegging . LMFAO

Think you maybe a little over dressed for pegging.

surely you don't need sparkly knitwear for that....

I'm not saying people peg while wearing sparkly jumpers! Now you're just being silly. It's just code, like the old handkerchief code. Only sparklier!

Who knew what new worlds of fun my new sparkly top would open up! (so to speak)

obviously it the uniform

Maybe the person who complimented me was giving me a pegging come-on!
