"Care home chic"

I’d def keep the socks - love animal prints, it sit h the pink cardigan as pink doesn’t look good on me! I’m sure you looked very elegant!

I agree, it's not the socks I'd be getting rid of!!

I can wear a cerise pink but not pale pink and definitely not grey.
Or yellow
Or green

I'm not sure yammy was looking for style tips.
I vote the socks stay.

Sounds like a lovely outfit BUT ditch the Zebra socks !

Give me humour over dress sense anyday! If you like it, he'll get used to it.

I love that episode.

Thank you for pointing out to me that I am a grim old lady Riverwalk, I feel so much better now

He would fit in a care home ,when my late mother was in one, he fell asleep in the lounge one of the men remarked they had got a new inmate. I'm sure he would soon get banned for bad behaviour though.
Like the episode of One Foot In The Grave where Victor starts a revolt in a care home?

How different we all are.

Yammy sounds like your husband's comment was in genuine jest.

has her hair coloured every month and even wears jewellery every day

For the life of me I can't think what's wrong with this!

Ivory silk shirt - sounds grim and very old lady to me!

Zebra socks - I'm OK with these

Your husband sounds hilarious (and I work in a care home and he’s about right, especially if your trousers have had a row with your socks!).

Not a great fan of pink and grey in general. Saw a lady this morning in a knitted pink and grey bobble hat, scarf and mask. The bobble hat was beautiful (just in case she's reading ? ), sadly the mask not so much. But she had cleverly sewn buttons on the sides of her hat so the mask could be attached to that.

No zebra print socks though.

And if he's not, well we can take the micky as well.

I have some lovely pink and grey Argyle cashmere socks and the colours definitely work well together

I’m not a fan of animal prints of any kind, never have been.

Yammy I think we must see this outfit …OH may be very wrong !

You can't beat a bit of micky taking for having a laugh.

It reminds me of The Royle Family.
The type of thing Jim would say.

You've got him in one. I must say "OH L..."20 times a day. He was no different with his parents I knew what I was getting and most of the time I do laugh but I thought I looked so on "trend" yesterday I nearly threw something.

His comment was clever though. If my husband had said that I would have laughed.

I like the idea of zebra socks.
Are onesies still in fashion? You could go the whole hog ( to keep the animal theme going,)?
DD’s both roam around their respective houses in animal onesies in Winter.

Agree, pink and grey do look good ( although none in my many wardrobes) will have to buy some now.

Me too. In fact there’s a lot of it in my house.

Quite, Lucca. I love pink and grey.

Grand’ tante pink and grey are lovely together !
