Middle aged women (aka you lot) please desist form following crimes against fashion

[moondog]

1. Dying your hair a matte brown or black. So ageing and unattractive especially when also sporting bed flattened crown at which white roots are visible.

1. Long skirt, jaunty jerkin and medium helled boot ensemble (this particular species' natural habitat is M&S).

1. Not getting your teeth scaled and polished on a regular basis.

1. Wearing too many gold rings at once.

Oh and please stop dragging your sheepish looking dhs with you around the lingerie dept. Haven't they got shelves ot put up or lawns to mow?

having children = seeing so much poo that one doesn't want to be reminded of it by one's clothing?

is coloured acceptable

Surprisingly so far so good although I do have a quilted jacket though but it's by 'Mountain Equipment' and it is a proper mountain jacket and it sees mountains not just shops. Is that OK?

Personally I like wearing brown but avoid black for the reason Boys states

today I wore-
purple top,
dark olive 40s style skirt and
dark mustard tights with black brogues.

It either looked sartorially prada-esque or..madwoman

Jaunty and feisty are bad but what about sassy?

I look and feel like a turd in brown.

Oh I love this thread. I clicked into it expecting to find my entire wardrobe listed as a crime against humanity.

But being as I have not dyed my hair red, or ageing-goth black I am cheered. I go to the dentist and get my teeth scaled and polished and I manage to do my own brushing and flossing. I don't possess a fleece. I despise both M&S and Boden equally. I'm relieved to say that I've never heard of a jaunty jerkin. And it's a seriously bad look to have too many rings. Espacially wearing multiple rings on one finger. I don't wear spectacles - and I can't imagine what sort of statement spectacles can make other than that the wearer has poor vision.

Please stop listing fashion crimes now, because I am so enjoying basking.

... or what about flippy?

A symphony in brown - I had no idea it was an animal print until I clicked on this link

arf at flippy

my eyes

that is awful

yak

I hate you BALD.

If it wouldn't be deemed offensive I have always hankered after having a burkha (sorry that might not be the right terminology - I'm meaning the whole body cover-up with just the eyes showing). Seriously. I can imagine that slipping one of them on would be strangely liberating. No decisions to be made, no pretence of dressing for anyone else just drifting around anonymously, inviting nobody's gaze.

And before anyone says, yes, I do realise the use of the word "liberating" might seem perverse.

Would that be a crime?

I possess a fleece. It is warm and jolly useful. Thankfully it's not brown as well.

That M&S frock is minging. Frankly.

Well you may think so. Actually, it looks really nice on me.

any long calf length skirt worn with roll neck jumper, and flat boots or court shoes.

Court shoes with jeans.

too-short trousers.

crepy cleavage and tits everywhere.

white T shirts and white bras showing underneath.

fleeces anywhere except on a country walk.

BIWI I will forgive that frock if you PROMISE you will never get this

It's OK BALD, you're safe on that count.

Gawd that's grim.

Per Una is a veritable feast of foulness, no?

TFFT

I keep looking at Per Una, every time I go shopping. (We have a big M&S right next to our Sainsbury). I can't believe that they get it so wrong and go, always totally naively, in the hope that they have got it right.

But I'm always disappointed.

I've just had to google TFFT.

Tactical fire fighting truck? uh?

lol Mary

BIWI a lot of things look better on, glad it suits you

polo neck and blouse

I got some per una jeans from a friend who'd shall I say outgrown them and they fit lovely. In fact they're the best jeans I have and I always get comments on them. I don't have anything else from there though.

Brown can look good especially if you add some colour with it.
