I’m feeling very out of touch fashion wise- are the bottle green ankle socks and trainers a good move?

Rogue1001MNer · 24/06/2023 20:54

Yes! @OddBoots

That's the one

Thank you 🙏

Gorgeous gown, but its not even silk, but viscose for that price!

This one?

She looks lovely but it’s really giving me the finals dress from Miss Congeniality 😊

PomPomSugar · 24/06/2023 21:18

I know her personally and can confirm she is aces. The kindest and loveliest being.

tillytoodles1 · 24/06/2023 21:21

There'll be an almost identical dress in primark soon for about £30.

TheMurderousGoose · 24/06/2023 21:24

She doesn't seem to age yet doesn't seem to be overly tweaked either.

She just glows her way through life.

onlywayissussex · 24/06/2023 21:24

She looks amazeballs

Love the green socks and trainers

What a lovely privileged life to wear £2k dresses that you've been given and get paid by the British public broadcaster. Truly the BBC is the grift that keeps on giving (and taking from the people)

I saw her about fifteen years ago at Camp Bestival. She had purple shorts and wellies on, and had the nicest legs I’ve ever seen.

Minniem2020 · 24/06/2023 21:30

She looks amazing, love the dress.

SirChenjins · 24/06/2023 21:33

Bloody hell - how much?? I mean, it’s a nice frock but it’s the kind of thing you can pick up in Quiz for a fraction of the price (and it’s too long for her, it’s trailing on the ground).

Bluebells1970 · 24/06/2023 21:35

She looks utterly gorgeous. I'd be too worried about sweat marks in that fabric!

She will not have had that dress paid for by the Beeb. She is a woman in her late 50s who champions musicians and has survived in industries that are notoriously tough on older women - music, tv and radio. How about we support her ffs.

Crikeyalmighty · 24/06/2023 21:42

She looks amazing for her age (and is a nice person too) personally don't like the dress at all -

BravoMyDear · 24/06/2023 21:46

Bet @Clymene is fun at parties 🙄

Lentilweaver · 24/06/2023 21:48

I don't like either... tbh.

hangsangwitch · 24/06/2023 21:50

I see it’s out of stock at Harrolds so I’ll have to have a rethink!

She is absolutely beautiful, and is a talented woman who has had an amazing career in a male dominated industry. I for one don’t begrudge her having lovely dresses ffs. Why are there always women ready to put other women down.

I also love Jo as she talks openly about the challenges of having a sibling with disabilities. That’s important work. I luffs her!

Only because she still serves as eye candy. If she looked like the average haggard 50-something she’d have been given the axe let’s face it.

I really am! Shame you don't get invited to the parties I do Sad

I think wearing £2k dresses while reporting for a public broadcaster in a cost of living crisis is a bit tone deaf.

I'm sure Jo is a lovely woman.

RiseYpres · 24/06/2023 21:54

naaah... she looks like a mint cornetto [slightly mint green with pure envy here for as she looks really fresh and lovely... Smile ]

Mollygoodgolly · 24/06/2023 21:54

I'm going to be hated but I think it looks really cheap, like a nylon satin bedsheet from Primark. Or Wilco. I also hate that crude aqua colour.
