I never followed fashion even in my youth ..I wore black leather and drainpipes or flares or ..but I always wore black leather ..lol I still have it *thinks maybe I should sell it off* I never really confidently wore fashion that didn't suit me so I sunk back into fashion that did ....and was known as a 1 off ....at 40 I wore a pair of tight beatle juice type leggings in lycra with a flopy top ..I also had beetle juice jeans ....they suited me, my individuality ..forgwt my leggings were 20yrs old and me jeans came from a help the aged shop ...........I was cool not because I thougjht I was but because the kids thought I was.

Sadly I still have both leggings and jeans and I don't know how to sew an extra panel in them otherwise I would still ruddy well wear them and to hell with fashion

Stray
My children had those.
They were weird to iron....those were the days when I used to iron more.


Do you remember 'scratch and sniff' T shirts?
My daughter had a chocolate milk shake one.

SRS hijack all you want ...this weekend and last week when I went to market I saw the most appalling shorts in fashion ..they are short but sort of gathered from the waist flair out, to a tight leg, ..really not the thing for so many I saw wearing them (believe those who looked really good in them were skinnier than my dogs).

I lost track of fashion years ago and I do mean years ago but these days the shops and markets provide for the fashion slaves ..so I either buy shorts if I could get them to fit ,,forget the shorts so I either used to have the choice to buy tops that were skinny best warn with thin strap bras (or none at all) and ended on most where the shorts began ....or I bought the 'elder' top and sweated cobs in some garish bright coloured lets make the oldie feel happy top.
This year I have bought some lovely long loose tops with straps in the right place .....shame I can't find any shorts to fit my ar*s that I like. ..just aswell I have 3 pairs from 3 years ago from believe it or not George.

Sorry to hijack your thread so early Uzzi, but I think we need some fashion guru on here. I seem to have lost touch with the real world since I discovered GR lol We could do with some young thing like Stray to tell us what is the fashionable thing to wear, what music is popular at the moment, what TV programmes or films are a MUST lol.
