Am I the only one who is sick to death

... of stars on everything?

I thought we hit peak star last year. But to my dismay, all the SS18 stock is once again covered in stars! I am so sick of seeing a nice jumper, but oh no, it's got stars on it. Oh, like the cut of that leather jacket, but no, bloody stars all over it. Oh! I've been looking for some jeans of that exact style, but OH NO EFFING STARS EVERYWHERE.

Is it just me? I thought it was cute like three years ago. It's enough now.

I’m not seeing these stars? Where are they?

ElspethFlashman · 23/03/2018 11:10

Yeah, Im over it. And I LOVE stars. But it seems that these days all tops are either stripes, stars or leopard print.

Mercurial123 · 23/03/2018 11:26

Stars don't bother me they've been around for years I prefer the smaller print and not the big star design Hush seem to bring back every year. I really hate rainbows though.

PerfectlyDone · 23/03/2018 11:27

I love the stars and hope they will keep on going for every and every Grin

rightknockered · 23/03/2018 12:52

I prefer the stars to the floral madness on every frigging dress.

rightknockered · 23/03/2018 12:53

Sick of the floral overkill

Doobigetta · 23/03/2018 13:05

Love stars, sorry.

squoosh · 23/03/2018 13:28

I'm not a fan of stars either OP. And I'm keeping a beady eye on rainbows as they seem to be trying to muscle their way in too. I mean who really wants to look like a children's TV presenter from 1981?

squoosh · 23/03/2018 13:29

Actually I don't like any print these days. Stripes and florals are also outstaying their welcome.

leccybill · 23/03/2018 13:31

Much prefer stars to rainbows which look frankly ridiculous.
Don't mind small delicate florals.

SnugglySnerd · 23/03/2018 13:33

My DD's wear clothes with rainbows on. They are aged one and four!
I quite like stars though.

TossDaily · 23/03/2018 13:33

Well, today I'm wearing a star-strewn tunic, and yesterday I was wearing a rainbow on my jumper all day, and a rainbow t-shirt in the evening.

squoosh · 23/03/2018 13:35

Before you can call yourself Geoffrey you need to invest in some snug yellow dungarees.

Tryingtogetitright · 23/03/2018 13:37

I like stars. I am fed up with unicorns!

CointreauVersial · 23/03/2018 13:56

I'd sooner have stars than flowers, to be honest. Somehow less twee.

Ididnthearanything · 23/03/2018 14:20

Agree Cointreau. Flowers, they'r hard to wear. They're all a bit curtain-y.
So yes, give me stars before flowers.
Order would be: no pattern - stars - leopard - flowers.

Lobsterface · 23/03/2018 14:21

Urgh unicorns

Kitsharrington · 23/03/2018 17:07

See I don’t mind stripes. To me they are a neutral, as is leopard print. Wouldn’t touch rainbows or unicorns with a barge pole!!

Hate all patterns bar the odd stripe but reserve special hatred for those knobbing Hush rainbow jumpers. They remind me of the sort of things worn by actors who are doing a stint in children’s entertainment.

Unicorns and pineapples are on the way out thank fuck.

ItchySeveredFoot · 23/03/2018 17:29

Leopard print is neutral!? Leopard print just reminds me of 80's and spandex. Like Peggy Bundy.

leccybill · 23/03/2018 17:32

Of course leopard is neutral. I have a grey leopard snood scarf I wear virtually every day, with everything.
Also my leopard skin ankle boots go with all jeans, opaques, everything. Love leopard!

athingthateveryoneneeds · 23/03/2018 17:33

I'm tired of the appliqued flowers attached to everything.

squoosh · 23/03/2018 17:40

Oh appliqué bits are the worst. You think you've found a nice plain top and then you lift it up and there's a blimmin' sparkly rose on it.

HobnobBob · 23/03/2018 17:58

Oh I like stars, what I am thoroughly bored of is everything having ‘cold shoulders’. Enough!

PerfectlyDone · 23/03/2018 18:05

Oh, cold shoulders! Worn by people who really maybe have shoulders that invite being kept warm....
