Also hats. Rings, bracelets and flip flops too.

Sandals, thongs (what they call flip-flops now). Jeans with holes in them 🤮. Crop tops. Strappy things. High heels. Leggings as outerwear outside the house. Earrings (used to, but haven’t in many years). Stockings/pantyhose. Short skirts.

Belts. I have zero waist and they’d disappear into my rolls of fat. Also a faff going to the loo.

SoftCoeur · 23/04/2023 08:35

Earrings - haven't got my ears pierced.

Any kind of manicure or pedicure.

High-heeled shoes.

Rings - I've sometimes tried wearing them as I do think they look nice, but I quickly fall out of the habit.

Dresses or skirts, unless it's a special occasion or a heatwave.

Earrings. I just stopped at some point in my life, I don't really know why.
Belts
Handbags

I do, however, own loads of scarves and pashminas.

Frith2013 · 23/04/2023 08:42

Skirts.

I haven't worn once since wearing school uniform.

SpringNTing · 23/04/2023 08:44

Rarely wear any jewellery. Very occasionally a necklace or bangle. Haven’t worn earrings in decades. Don’t even wear my wedding ring!

Also very rarely wear a belt.
