Just skimmed some of those posts. Oh dear hope my daughter isn't one of the posters. One said she wondered if there was a similar one about them on Gransnet . For the record my DDs are gorgeous elegant stylish creatures who have people(men) tripping over their feet as they (DDs) gaze shortsightedly around them unaware of the effect they are having . this is in case they know my alibi on Gransnet

I don't think much of my daughter's dress-sense sometimes, but I don't say anything. I wear what I like!
(Agree about Per Una, though - far too frilly and flouncy)

Yes shysal, I recognised a few things too, like the comfy shoes. I have gone off a lot of Per Una in recent times, as although I might like the material, I hate the extra frills and flounces, they just overdo it.

Thing is, I think black, brown and grey drain me, bright colours suit me and people compliment me when I wear them occasionally. It isn't easy to buy things I like these days, especially as I am "a larger lady". I do love adding a scarf to a simple outfit.

It's quite interesting to read what the Mums say, can sometimes make you have a rethink and try something different.

I have 3 daughters and I have the impression that they are not too bothered about what I wear - they kindly compliment me sometimes and when they buy me clothes they always get something that is spot on for me. DD2 has just bought me a beautiful White Stuff top for Mothers' Day and it is lovely and just what I would have chosen myself.

I am surprised that Per Una clothes cropped up in so many posts! I don't buy from there, but thought they were fashionable. I am guilty of wearing a few of the suggestions, such as Cotton Traders shoes, track suit bottoms and Dash tops. I tend to wear similar clothes to those of my DDs, but suspect they don't like my love of bright coloured tops.

Just having a giggle reading this Mumsnet thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/a1587678-what-will-you-NEVER-wear-because-it-will-make-you-your-mum

I haven't got daughters but dread to think what they'd say about me. However, the good thing about being older and a bit invisible is, you don't actually care that much!
