I got them today. They look bloody ace. Even son 1 agreed.
Wooly tights. Chunky knits. Winter pub wear sorted.

Oh god, no way could I wear those.
I've just ordered a pair of shorts, these
Though I'm a size 8, I'm short, and large of thigh.

MrsCampbellBlack · 16/10/2012 19:16

Oh I really like the look of those - that's a size bigger than you normally are isn't it?

MaureenCognito · 16/10/2012 19:20

Yes. And still not huge.

These are really nice too.

MaureenCognito · 16/10/2012 19:42

Yes.
Think important to have all sane colour where poss or it breaks you up a bit.

Plan to wear for winter nights out with fake fur jacket.

I love, LOVE them.

Am slim and long of leg, but am over 40 though.

Mutton?

MrsCampbellBlack · 16/10/2012 20:57

Jude - we're all over 40 - not mutton at all Grin

JudeFawley · 16/10/2012 21:04

That's decided then!

Will wear them with my Artreu boots from TopShop, which I can barely wrestle from my feet, I love them so.

QueenCadbury · 16/10/2012 21:06

Love 'em. Have toyed with getting some for years and have decided this year I definately will whilst I'm still under 40 Grin

MrsCampbellBlack · 16/10/2012 21:16

Have ordered in 8 and 10 and will update

MaureenCognito · 16/10/2012 21:36

Jude. Go!

MaureenCognito · 16/10/2012 21:38

You tiny pants Cb.

Size up guys!

OP posts:
JudeFawley · 17/10/2012 10:38

I have ordered them.

I hope that:

a) we don't know each other

b) I don't look like Caitlin Moran in them.

MrsCampbellBlack · 17/10/2012 10:48

I tried the gap wool ones but bizarrely wide cut on the thighs so made me look enormous.

Note I am blaming the shorts not my thighs/hips.

QueenCadbury · 17/10/2012 11:48

I have just bought the gap ones in a size 8. Now all I need is some very thick tights and a bottle of wine to be brave enough to wear them!

MaureenCognito · 17/10/2012 19:42

Pleated is always a disaster. Makes them look like clown.
