Beige

[mrs_overall]

At what age to people start dressing from head to foot in beige? Do they start gradually, say with one item of clothing? Do you dress in beige? I have told Mr O to take me outside and shoot me if I start wearing beige.

I think with women it starts with the inner layers and works outwards ... at the point where beige actually becomes visible, all is lost - just give up and buy "the big slipper".

I have one buttermilk t- shirt. Does that count?

Women don't wear beige! They go for lilac or purple.

Tilly, buttermilk is on the beige spectrum unfortunately

My dad even had a beige car eventually - he claimed it was called 'taupe' - but it was beige ...

If I ever show signs of fancying a beige Morris Marina (or the matching Chocolate Allegro that my mum had) please shoot me.

Don't worry, sd. My stepmum once had a gold Rover. Anything else is tasteful compared to that.

Entirely depends on who's wearing it.

I'd rather go for the 'Drug Dealer Orange' that BMW and Nissan think is so fetching ... possibly.

vulcan, they may be attractive women but their dresses are quite frankly dull

[Tilly2]

Aw! I don't wear it very often.

[sunny-dave]

Can someone give the poor mites a sandwich too ...

Does that mean I can't buy that tweed sports jacket?

Careful... what colour are tights?

[vulcan42]

Are the dresses dull? I hadn't really noticed ;o)

[Tilly2]

I do wear a beige/flesh coloured bra under white t-shirts. I saw someone the other day wearing a black bra under a white t-shirt. It looked really tarty.

Why do old men always wear this jacket?

roy, if I ever wear tights they are either black or coloured to match my outfit

[mrs_overall]

Tilly, flesh coloured bra's are allowed...they are not beige

[Tilly2]

That jacket goes with everything.

[royfromaus]

Ok... What colour is foundation?
