Designer labels - who cares?

You’ve got to have their ages and how much their house is worth as well.

Oh yes, especially if there has been a tragedy. Knowing how much their semi in the suburbs is worth is meant to make us more sympathetic?

I love this thread, it makes everyone so real!

Mrs HPQ, after tending her multiple houseplants, has spent the rest of the morning dashing, fetchingly, in and out to the garden to bring in, then hang out again, her laundry as the weather in her sought after village cannot make it's mind up. Said laundry is now blowing attractively in the wind, especially the white Bridget Jones style knickers bought for a very reasonable price from Amazon some years ago. Meanwhile, Mrs HPQ wears a pair of navy three quarter trousers, economically refashioned from a full pair of trousers, a floral cotton top, and no make up, latter being a gesture of her feminist views on the patriarchy combined with her devil may care attitude. As nobody has had a shower chez HPQ this morning, lunch at the local hostelry is out of the question, and there is an air of jovial tension in the kitchen as this wonderful couple try to last the longest before volunteering to cook lunch.

Thanks for this thread Mrs Cardigans! it's really cheered up a gloomy Sunday.

We have been lunching with a friend in a locally well-known riverside pub. .

I wore my soft green Tui sweater (spring 2022) over my spotted dark green on light green trousers (M&S, 2021) and floral shirt (fat Face, 2019). My floral canvas shoes were bought in the sale in the French shoe shop chain, Chaussea, 2019. The whole ensemble , probably cost less than £70.

DH wore a recent dark green Lands End T shirt over Peter Chrstian bottle green cords. I think his shoes came from Cotton Traders.

I cannot for the life of me remember what DF was wearing and I am too lazy to walk next door and look, but probably deep cream shirt, over deep cream cotton trousers, the ones you wear for long walks on holiday - and a big red mac, from Cotton Traders, because it was raining.

Unfortunately for the paparazzi Lady A did not make the much anticipated walk to the recycling bin.
A disappointed press are trudging wearily home.

This thread is hysterical--- a real tonic, thank you all who have made the effort==brilliant!!
Bountiful Bridget was looking forward to her perusal of the local park whilst looking as chic as ever. She sported her beautiful electric blue crocs which she had purchased in the middle aisle of a famous down-market supermarket, and was thrilled to have a reason to wear her charity shop bargain, a per una sloppy joe jumper in bright pink. Her saggy-at-the-knees pedal pushers still had some mileage in them, even though they were purchased many years prior. She was torn as to which bag to use, as she had two recently purchased on e-bay, one large and one small(both earth squared- great quality) . She decided on the larger bag, as she pondered whether a small cutting from park grown flowers may land in her bag, un beknown to her. She decided to forego any make up as she didn't anticipate bumping into anyone of any significance, and anyway, the natural look for her age-range was totally acceptable(basically she couldn't be ar**ed)

Who was the celebrity?
The Daily Mail usually do this with celebs that they don’t approve of, to highlight how frivolous and vain they are.

It's just advertising.
She is probably a PR person who is paid to wear these overpriced items, the papers continue with the advertising and gullible people fall for it.

Ms Callistemon has been out to lunch wearing a pair of ankle grazers from M&S (no you can't buy any, they're 8 years old) a top by Dash (are they still in business?) and new trainers by Pavers, £64.99 (now available at £34.99, how annoying is that!).

BigBertha1

BigBertha , who belies her name tag , entered the golf club wearing a rather sweaty far too tight Green Lamb navy and white polo shirt (£25 sale price), slightly baggy and rather muddy navy Glenmuir pedal pushers (£60) and blue flip flops from a 2 year old Clarks collection. Bertha was fumbling with her 3 year old Surprizeshop golf shoe bag (£25), this season David Jones Lime Green bag (£35) with her club card clenched in her teeth. her mascara streaked face and wild unkempt hair told the tale of her 4 hour 18 hole round in a hurricane. The glass of chardonnay she ordered did not touch the sides.

😂😂😂

I think I saw you!

We were the ones who kept changing lunch tables outside to try to get out of the wind, ending up back where we started to the annoyance of our DHs.

Wow Callistemon, you saw the celebrity and social influencer Big Bertha? In the flesh? Could you get close to her? Is it true she's going on Love Island?

p0Sy

Wow Callistemon, you saw the celebrity and social influencer Big Bertha? In the flesh? Could you get close to her? Is it true she's going on Love Island?

Shh, she asked me not to tell anyone.

No, not Love Island, she's off to Pebble Beach!

My 1yr old cocker spaniel, since I rehomed her 2months ago...chewed up one of my purple flipflops ...and a black expensive flipflop...but now I'm wearing a purple and a black one and quite happy to do so...because of this happy and hilarious thread..🐕😁

Loving this thread ladies. It's my birthday so I'm wearing clean clothes, makeup and jewellery. No one who sees me regularly would recognise me...

I certainly don't (care about Labels)

Happy Birthday Chocolatelovinggran 🥳 🎉 💐 🎁 🍾 🥂 🎂
You can wear exactly what you want on your Birthday, and any other day.
I just want to post this ……. many will know it but it is kind of apt for this thread.

Thank you TillyTrotter.

Thanks LBC 1955 for starting the thread best Laugh out Loud I have had in a long time and thanks ladies for your comments I am all of you rolled into one .

Ms Mizuna was photographed still in bed at 07.33, lazy wotsit, sporting a pair of men's pyjamas bought at WH Smith in her local hospital for £15 when she unexpectedly ended up staying there for two weeks. When she eventually emerges from her own bed she'll don a pair of Thailand hippy trousers bought at a market stall, a charity shop shirt and home-made jewellery costing £0 but priceless.

Ms Popbottle and her companion were seen taking coffee together at the leisure centre. At least, the leisure centre call it coffee! Ms Popbottle was wearing Blitz brand, 100% cotton canvas, drawstring waist karate trousers which once were a startling white. She had changed out of the karate gi jacket and black belt, which are uncomfortable for driving and wore, instead, a rather fetching, handmade, animal print top that she made using colour change fabric. Unfortunately, the colour change pigments are now rather patchy. Her shoes, navy blue with white laces, cost £9 from Sainsbury's. She wore no jewellery as it's not allowed, for safety reasons, when taking part in a karate class. Her enormous bag, originating in Morocco, was a woven affair with narrow leather straps that she bought for £23 from a market stall. She drove away in a dirty, blue, two year old Ford Fiesta.

Widow Batty was seen boarding the No.1 bus after an afternoon of fashion shopping. She wore M&S navy joggers (£14) an exquisite Joules sweatshirt in navy and white stripes with pink floral detail (£6 in charity shop) and distressed (i.e. 8 yrs old) Hotter ankle boots).
Her flowing raincoat in grey polyester was a present from an admirer, and available only from the exclusive Mountain Warehouse.
She was supported by an Amazon walking stick (£15), and her increasing alopecia was artfully disguised by a grey Amazon beret (£11).
She charmingly raised two fingers to the waiting hordes of paparazzi as her 'bus carried her away to her bijou cottage hideaway on the outskirts of Dartmoor ...

I do love this. Some of you are so clever.

( Enjoying the laughs).....

Eirlys sits at her desktop pensively wondering what the future holds. ( Egg and Chips or Chow Mein?) She is wearing a John Lewis skirt reduced in last year's sale to £16 ; an Eastex blouse courtesy of eBay ; sandals from Damart which, with a little laugh, she tells me, her daughter is trying to consign to the bin, and a cardigan from a Preloved Cashmere site. Her hair immaculately coiffured by her friend and occasional cleaner, Nellie, her lips outlined with Maybelline Long lasting lipstick applied two days ago, Eirlys has FaceTime open on her desktop as she admires her image, though, she tells me with a little moue, some 92 year old old woman keeps trying to peer back at her.

I didn't realise there were so many fabulous, trendy ladies out there like me. I'm presently wearing a pair of loose jersey style black trousers (1980 vintage), with elasticate waistline, to go with a lovely three quarter sleeve navy and white spotted top. This item was lovingly rescued from under a mountain of others also waiting to be rescued. Suitable attire for slouching on the settee reading Gransnet.

Granny B was spotted entering a charity shop carrying a bag of much loved, but no longer required, clothing. She was later than planned due to dithering about what she could really bear to part with from her wardrobe of fairly old clothing. She was wearing black trousers from a Laura Ashley sale - now defunct, of course. Her T shirt was from Debenhams, and her cardigan from Gap - both also gone. Slightly newer were her Ecco trainers, bought on sale. Will she be able to leave the charity shop without buying a pre-loved bargain?

Excitement mounted as the Church Hall door swung open and the lone figure of UG emerged, blinking in the sunlight. She posed for pictures, favouring the side of her £10 Damart t-shirt that sported the 2" tear artfully engineered by her playful puppy. Her charity shop bought trousers, attractively adorned with muddy footmarks, could not disguise the fact that she has let herself go (bulges everywhere). She has topped this ensemble off with a pair of chewed mens slippers, a fashionable bunch of keys and a tissue. After leaving the Church Hall she commandeered a member of the paparazzi to help her down the kerb, and swept herself away in an old battered Citroën. The crowd went wild!

farview What luck that your little dog was considerate enough to chew one left and one right flip-flop!
