Now I know it will be difficult to tell us all about your fashion catastophes, because we can't see the pictures but describing them will have to do.

I went to a wedding once in a very BRIGHT GREEN trousers and waistcoat set., being a bit short I had to take the legs up and when the wedding photo's came back...one leg was at least half an inch shorter than the other...still got the piccie...and oh how I laughed....not .

Come on share...your disasters...dare you...lol

My childhood was one big fashion disaster at the hands of my mother who seemed to get pleasure in dressing her red headed daughter in orange and bright yellow lol

My whole life's been a fashion disaster, but the worst was my mother thinking it was a good idea to knit me and my sister bottle green cardigans and skirts when we were little. I shudder even now

Thanks Ray...lol...

I also remember the platform shoes (first time around) me and my mate Pat loved them and we had six inch high ones once, we couldn't actually walk very far in them, had to stick out backsides out just to keep our balance but hey we thought we looked lovely...

I've never really been a " fashion" person . I think it stems from my childhood , having two older brothers I just used to wear their out grown clothes . People would ask if I was a boy or a girl.....lol
I once asked my Mum why I didn't look like other girls and she had a guilt attack and bought me a pair of white lacy socks.

I really don't think I could do " smartly dressed " if I tried.......lol
