Please assure me that this 'look' isn't back on trend...

...on Monday Susanna (GMB) wearing a very large-pussy-cat-bowed blouse with a powder blue jacket. It looked just like a 1980s Lady Di ensemble.
Please don't let this be coming back into 'fashion'!!

That's not a pussy bow. That's a tie neck.

Ah that's what Hawes & Curtis called it. The one the OP is on about does look more "frou frou" though

Yep....😁

Probably looking for really life pussies! (And I mean cats)

More Thatcher than Diana, I thought! And disgusting!

This is the lady in question. To be fair, I love that shade of blue.

I think the glasses look terrible!

Well, I certainly shan't be wearing them. I avoided them the first time round - they're not getting me on the rebound!

I hate those fussy sorts of clothes. I noticed in John Lewis the other day that there is a brand of clothes with dresses that are very puffy in the body and in the arms. There was a girl on the Great British Sewing Bee who wore clothes like that and I thought they looked awful.

I think those are the Sister Jane brand. Almost child-like, a bit creepy IMO.

Honestly, forget 'trends'. If you don't like it, avoid it. If I was walking down the street I might think about someone's clothes, 'Wow, she looks stupid,' but never would I think 'Gosh! She's not dressed in this season's styles!'

I mean, I do sympathise that if it is a trend you dislike there will be leaner pickings in terms of clothes choices in the shops, but that's as far as it should bother you.

Thank you for the advice but I think we're all aware it's not compulsory @AtomHeartMotherOfGod. Maybe we just enjoy talking about trends?

I hated them in the 89s but actually quite like them this time around, not worn suited and booted but, as a pp suggested, with jeans or combats or something similar, for a bit of a prim/scruffy vibe. Don't think I could ever make them work for me though - I can't even keep my shirts tucked in.

Honestly its so white and starchy I think she is only a few inches short of a regency cravat!!😆

Thinking I might try this with a coordinating cardigan and maybe one of those cardigan chains (channelling Emma pilsbury from glee!)

This advert has popped up as I read this thread.

She looks delighted to be returning to work!
