Joe Browns - too cool and trendy for an old bag?

[turquoise]

I really like lots of these , especially the crochet dresses and crushed skirt. There are some excellent jeans too - but I'm 42 and somewhat gone to seed. Would it be mutton? Would wear vest tops and leggings/jeans etc under the crochet stuff (said pleadingly in a "I'm not really Bev Callard" kind of way).
But the whole site does look a bit scarily hip for me.

I did a thread very much like this .. but I like the surf dudery look .. DH wears a lot of Joe Browns

I ordered a lot
I kept one thing and sent the rest back cos it looked foul
you have to pay for return postage

it looked foul on me .. too much norkage I felt

Oh blimey. Good job they do a size 16 then! If i take the plunge.
Why are you not on msn, are you shunning me?

I ordered some stuff recently but it was just basic rib tops / vests etc.

Just fancied something different.

I nearly ordered a pair of their camo baseball boots but they ahd a 6 week leadtime so I didn;t bother in the end.

I would probably not go for the more "young" looking stuff tbh, but depends what you like to wear, what the rest of your warderobe is like etc.

My mian concern was the sizing - would a 12 be minute etc, but they were average I would say...

Go for it, you can always send them back..

Oh dear. Think I may be living in a fantasy world and ought to get into twin sets and pussycat bows.

this is the one thing I kept

I have these jeans and they are ok ... also a top very much like this but green (and a couple of seasons ago)

they are both nice, but to be honest I wouldn't buy anything else from them ... I would go to fatface or similar now ...

I like that top. Love these jeans .
