those tiny jackets/cardigans that reach your boobs and look like you have raided a school cloakroom for your wardrobe.

I was quite excited about the re-emergence of dark red lipstick in some of the fashion mags, but I can't see that taking off just yet either.

Fimbo · 18/10/2005 13:49

I had a furry shrug form a few years ago that I had put in a bag for a charity shop. My friend spied it and was horrified, she says she would wear it now.
I never really liked it. It still had the tags on it.
