I am very bloody sodding well fed up with tops in shops atm....

[CountessDracula]

grrrr

I hate them ALL

they are either

Too long
Too flouncy (HOW many puffy sleeves does one need?)
Actually in fact dresses and not tops at all but pretending to be tops (and I am 40 so I am NOT wearing leggings OR mini dresses when not on holiday and they look plain stupid over jeans and anyway it's too hot for jeans most of the time)
Disgusting patterns
Horribly bright block colour
Maternity smocks
Vast ballooning batwingy things

I HATE THEM

Fashion is SHIT atm for oldies

However I do not want to go down the boden/jigsaw yummy mummy look or the dowdy m&s

Please let all this stupid toppery end soon

My SIL is pregnant. She is tall and skinny. I bet she will not have to buy a single maternity top. She will just be able to get away with the ordinary stuff from primark or somewhere, I am sure.

Oh and I have huge shoulders. I actually find bog standard crew neck t-shirts are the least flattering on me. The shoulder seams are only half way across the shoulders so that in turn makes the arms tight. But I wear vests/cami tops or rounded/v-necks or polo necks ok.
