Got to agree about Per Una clothes but does the underwear count?

I have three Per Una bras. They are white and don't have any of the usual Per Una flowery tat hanging off them or sequins or anything so they are OK!

Wide belts that have a huge butterfly clasp instead of a buckle. Urrrrrrgh!!

I had never seen a clown necklace until this thread!

I feel I should add that hair harshly scraped back into a high ponytail is not a good look on anyone, but especially not on larger ladies.

What are French rolls? Is it that ahirdo when you have it up at the back, if so I don't think that's naff.

One thing I find naff is the sort of dyed hair that looks kind of black and yellow. It also tends to have a feathery texture. How exactly does that happen, isn't it obvious when it is starting to go so, so wrong.
