Fluffy thread.

It's not hard, and I am no techno babe.

Trouble is Gab you say you speak your mind, fine, but you have a habit, time after time, of adding in a sentence that is offensive. You just can't help yourself. People don't have to be old or overweight to wear loose clothing.

Speak your mind......is no excuse at all....we can be any size we like and wear a scarf. For God's Sake, enough of this bitching.

Less you're more techno-savvy than me then!! (Not difficult)

I wear a scarf, just not over my shoulder!
How does it stay there?

I'm just not very good with scarves.

Less ......do stop it.

Callistemon same here, I like scarves but if you’re not tall,
Then the over the shoulder thing just looks wrong.
I wouldn't mind a whole new look, but not Judy Dench clothes.?

There is an actress who always looks great, but can’t remember her name?

I think Judy Dench looks lovely. I am a fan of her scting and the way she looks..
Do people on here stop to think that you are judging on photographs that are composed ?........also the red carpet pics......all styled
She probably doesn't drape a scarf over her shoulder when shopping for food or other mundane stuff.
I imagine the shoot stylist arranging the scarf to add some colour or texture to the photo.
Claire Raynor didn't particularly wear scarves.....she liked kaftans and ponchos.

We should dress as we want to without nasty remarks from women who are old enough to know that they are being unkind.....I am thinking of you GG !

I was thinking the same, I don’t personally like that scarf over one shoulder look, as someone already say, why doesn’t it fall off?

But we don’t see pictures of Dame Judy hanging out the washing, or mowing the lawn, everything we see is staged, she does look lovely though

Re Gabriella, why is it so hard to just ignore her if you don’t like what she says, it’s not personal?

You're walking on shaky ground when you make unfounded allegations against me.
I'd stop if I were you...unless you can explain, on here, on my multiple identities etc. With proof. It's dangerous to make libellous statements.

I did mention 'the 'late Claire Rayner in one of those posts so there was no need to remind me of something I was well aware of, had you read my posts.

It's as well to read the initial post before making a comment, instead of making incorrect assumptions on just 1/3.

You're very quick to write snipey replies about my comments and remarks which subliminally encourage your 'followers' to echo your thoughts, yet you never ever comment about the vast majority of my posts which are positive and that's a fact.
I wonder why you do that.

As for 'superiority', that's funny and you'd know why if you had read all the posts.
How could anyone think that a comment on clothes comes from a writer's feeling of superiority?
Does that apply to everyone who writes disparagingly about the looks of or clothes worn by Princess Eugenie, the Duchess of Sussex, Fergie or anyone else deemed to be newsworthy?
I fail to see any correlation.

Good morning to you too GabriellaG
May I respectfully refer you to the “Moaning Negativity” thread?
Wishing you a pleasant day. ?

I agree, but we each are allowed to write in our own style, as long as it's not racist, defamatory, overtly rude, inciting unrest/violence or bad feeling towards another poster.

My comment breached no guidelines.

Few, if any, slim people, wear the type of clothes worn by the ladies I mentioned.

My son bought me a cashmere pashmina a few years ago for my birthday, it’s lovely, very silky soft, I have added it to the drawer containing other pashminas in all kinds of materials including silk.I will never wear them, although there is one that I sometimes use for a bit of warmth if we sit in the garden for a drink in the evening.
They are just not ‘me’ .....too large.

Okay, so that’s fair comment Gabriella, now play nicely

I have thought of the actress ( who always looks good IMHO) it’s Helen Mirren.

Of course, all actresses dress up for the public.

Lemongrove

Agree, she’s gorgeous, and she always dresses beautifully

Sara65 true, I've not seen Judi hanging out the washing but we did see her, hot and sticky and dressed appropriately in the jungle recently in her programme about the orangutans.

However, she didn't look as hot and sticky as me when I've been in the jungle, or even hanging out the washing for that matter!

Callistemon

Perhaps she had people rushing around out of shot, fanning her and spraying her with a mist of iced water!

Few, if any, slim people, wear the type of clothes worn by the ladies I mentioned says GabriellaG

And someone to tweak her hair!

That's what I'm missing - a personal stylist, a hairdresser and someone to keep fanning me whenever I venture out!

Callistemon

Aren’t we all!

I wonder where Joanna shops?
But she never looks hot and sweaty bothered either!

Helen Mirren...yes
I like her dress sense as it often has a quirky edge.
Penelope Keith is another. I've seen her 'off duty' as it were, as we both have links to the PWRR (Tigers) and met on several occasions.
