Self Depreciation is the New Black

1. Ashish at Topshop £20 in SALE (act fast - only sizes 6 and 10 left online as I write this)
2. GEEK tee at Topshop Petite £18 (it comes in regular too but it's a tad too long for my liking!)

Yesterday, standing in the Topshop changing rooms, I faced a dramatic dilemma. Which of these self depreciating t-shirts should I make my own?

A truly life-changing decision, I know. I am aware that I am both a geek and a loser, but which one is more apt?.. Perhaps I should have done a public vote. 

 

In the heat of the moment, though, I plumped for the ASHISH at Topshop number, a tee that I have been lusting over since Fashion Week, purely because I preferred the sleeves (the GEEK one isn't such a fan of my doughy upper arms.) 

You may find my fondness for these slogan tees somewhat odd, but arrogance is far overrated. I am willing, now more than ever, to embrace my LOSER status because...

A) I love cheese jokes. Not cheesy jokes...Jokes about cheese.

WHAT CHEESE DO YOU USE TO ENCOURAGE A BEAR?

CAMEMBERT...

B) I have a list of my top five dog breeds. Sexy.

C) I wear thermals, a lot, and I have even worn them to nightclubs. 

See, self depreciation is so in this season!

Maje Je Joue

She is the original sex symbol and remains an icon to this day. The beautiful Bond girl with the tousled beehive and smoky eyes, Brigitte Bardot may now be 77, but her iconic look is as celebrated now as it was in her 1960s heyday.

This fine Sunday morning I spotted the gorgeous tees in the Sunday Times Style, and felt I must do a little post. This season sees one of the coolest fashion pairings as the chic French label Maje create a capsule collection of t-shirts emblazoned with gorgeous images of Bardot.  

Available from April 1st in Maje boutiques (around £129), the tees come in a variety of shapes and styles, all in a slouchy fine jersey. My pick is the first on this page with the relaxed shoulder detailing- perfect with super-skinny white jeans and studded ankle boots (these Zara ones are fabulous and certainly top of my Spring wishlist!)

P.S.

Maje Je Joue is my proudest pun yet.
