Just checking out what's in at the moment and to my horror found out that it's mainly the worst of the 80s! Ruffles, shoulderpads, etc, and having lived through it the first two time, don't want to go through it again! Maybe I'm just too old and it might look great on slim 20 year olds, what do pp are think?

I had you wrong Pickle I thought you'd be a fleece and Crocs type of girl but your style sounds lovely! Grin

By fashion being a social event I mean a weekend away, a day of shopping and then a night out drinking and going to some late bar/club! Not talking about catwalks and London fashion week! 😂

Never a fleece, but crocs, weeelll...Blushthey are so good for dog walking... And camping... And going on holiday... Summer wellies basically.

I wear them with a long floaty dress, if that helps. Or cropped trousers and a floaty top...

Well I like fashion, I like frivolity, and I like knowing about trends.
I am also a very serious lecturer.
I walk a dog and wear appropriate clothing when doing so
Gah

Yes. I keep being followed round the web by a suggestion to buy a sweatshirt dress with arms tied round the waist. Like I have 4 arms.

MusicToMyEars800 · 26/03/2017 00:06

all the shapeless jeans, everything has holes or rips in and all these 'cold shoulder' tops I had to grow up with 90's fashion... why the hell are they bringing it back?? it was dreadful

Bloomed · 26/03/2017 00:09

Four armed sweater dress www.inthestyle.com/binky-khaki-tie-front-sweater-dress

Bloomed · 26/03/2017 00:10

Yes Music. Did anyone ever find cold shoulder clothes flattering?

MusicToMyEars800 · 26/03/2017 00:33

Bloomed the must have a market or they wouldn't sell Grin I don't like them personally, and would never wear one unless it was for a novelty dress up thing lol

Destinysdaughter · 26/03/2017 06:49

I quite like that Binky dress! Blush

Cold shoulder ultimate in naff

Bloomed · 26/03/2017 13:05

I know destiny. I've been looking for a sweater dress and that's quite flattering but will feel ridiculous with the spare sleeves.

rightknockered · 26/03/2017 13:19

I quite like the four armed dress. I wonder if you could just cut off the waist arms

Bloomed · 26/03/2017 14:29

I think if you just cut off the cuffs it would look more like an ordinary tie waist?

murphys · 27/03/2017 14:40

I always though we were a season behind you, but maybe we have jumped ahead slightly now. The sleeves. The first time I saw one I thought it was for some sort of alien. I really couldn't figure out wtf it was until I went around the corner and saw the shop model with the other arms tied around the waist.

All in ones... dear god, they are everywhere.

And camo. So much bloody camo stuff.

Destinysdaughter · 27/03/2017 14:53

Camo? Camouflage?

murphys · 27/03/2017 16:45

Yes camo, army style. Its everywhere right now.

Destinysdaughter · 02/04/2017 10:28

Had to add this monstrosity, seen on The Voice last night!

Wow. That looks uncomfortable.

JanetStWalker · 03/04/2017 12:58

Doesn't look like I'm going to be buying anything this season, my bank account is thrilled.

leccybill · 03/04/2017 15:34

Yep, deffo think the fashion world are trolling us big time.

rightknockered · 03/04/2017 16:13

I'm guilty, I bought a linen boilersuit all in one thing.
But it is fucking incredibly comfortable, and light weight.
I love it

NevermetaGilesIlike · 03/04/2017 16:24

Things I currently hate that are being pushed as 'on trend' :
Ruffles
Cropped wide leg feckers
Embroidered crap
High vamp granny heeled buggars
Short oversized tops worn with cropped feckers

It's all a bit shit really isn't it?
