I won't look at the links because I will feel distressed. They are usually very peculiar. Who are they aimed at?

Quadrophenia · 23/02/2008 12:43

yes they are bloody dreadful

aGalChangedHerName · 23/02/2008 12:43

oh quite hideous. also haven't viewed the links as I know exactly what you mean without looking.
the floucy layered baby cord skirt in snot green
the sleeveles jerkin in lime
the bizarre print handbag
the sensibe but quirky coloued footglove shoe.

i have no idea who it is all aimed at.even my mother looks askance at it.

DumbledoresGirl · 23/02/2008 12:48

I like that blouse

I have to admit I only buy Per Una stuff.

I will also say though that I do not like the skirts you have shown and do not own any of them. And even the blouse would annoy me because of the 3/4 length sleeves. But I like the colours of the blouse.

Am I to be ostracised now?

aGalChangedHerName · 23/02/2008 12:48

Jeez Pruners lucky you!! I was up at around 7am with the dd's. DH works most weekends sadly lol

Not too bad now but have drunk soooo much coffee i am feeling weird lol

DelGirl · 23/02/2008 12:49

er, don't you want to see what i've bought then so you can all say it's bleurgh

aGalChangedHerName · 23/02/2008 12:50

Yep show us and we can tell you if we like it or not

pukkapatch · 23/02/2008 12:53

okie, i'm going against the flow here, but i like some of those skirts. beats the crap out of constant denim jeans. and they look a hell of a lot better than some of the nonexistent clothing some people wear.
however, i have tosya, that i haventworn any long skirts for a while.
long skirts are favoured by a lot of people who dont wear trousers/jeans for whatever reason, and like to keep their legs covered. whether for reasons of warmth or modesty.

cremolafoam · 23/02/2008 12:53

where am i going in this FFS?

DelGirl · 23/02/2008 12:53

hopefully it'll work and I won't be wearing it with brown cord

DumbledoresGirl · 23/02/2008 12:53

This is the skirt I bought

I think it might have been one of the skirts you linked to. I must admit, I did not recognise it in the picture as mine is only knee length. I have had loads of compliments from people about it.

cremolafoam · 23/02/2008 12:55

delgirl that skirt is ok but not with those fugly shoes inthe picture

DumbledoresGirl · 23/02/2008 12:56

Lovely colour Delgirl. I like what you chose although I have personally gone off long skirts and would not wear that length.

DelGirl · 23/02/2008 12:56

oh, and thgere I was thinking of buying them......not!
