if i were 25 and a stone lighter i would DEFINITELY wear this

[Tutter]

sigh

but with a top

If I were 25 stone lighter I would also wear it.

Ah remember the days.... went through an entire winter wearing shorts and tights in the early nineties

remember some v. dodgy floral dungaree shorts in amongst the cooler ones though!!!

Would I wear it? Wish i ahd the guts. Legs are my best feature, and I have a mini upstairs that I wer with thick tigts (trying to get confidence to qear to Uni, where the Young People are), but shorts... probably not, something a bit page £ hot pants about them

Had red ones too- also dungarees- why oh why oh why

there were some non dungaree ones, but TBH equally as nasty- leather imo much better!

Best friends always wore shiny lycra minis with leggings and boots four inches high, so frankly could have worn nothing and still faded into the background LOL!

is there a seperate thread about hotpants?? .. i used to wear them to college black ones, floral ones from kookai .. with opague tights

Oh yes deffo opaque tights- and mine was to college too

i had lots of pairs of leggings too .. my sis nicked my best pair tho!! lycra skirts .. and not coz i was confident .. it was just the thing to wear .. wouldn't have been caught dead in a long skirt then .. all changed now ...

lol sue.

agreed - unless you are a catwalk model or you want to look like a slapper, you should only wear minis with thick-ish tights. one of my staple outfits during pregnancy was a shortish denim skirt with burgundy/chocolate tights and big (frye) boots.

I think it's very 1981 I can remember wearing shorts with tights and boots quite clearly in teh winter of 81

actually Tutter - would quite like to look like a slapper. Currently my fashion look blurs the line between accountant and mumsy.

HIJACK ALERT Walked through your estate yesterday Tutter with Fatfox and her DC's. We had fun taking into the periscope-y satellite dishy things.

if I were blind I might wear it

by mistake

"estate" sue? "estate"?!

took me ages to figure out what they were. some architect paid £squillions to come up with all the little artsy fartsy corners of the (ahem) Development

can't wait to leave - house on market - it's just waaaay too stepford wives...

anyway

my link is a cool look

enough people have agreed that i think i can dismiss all other views

shame i'm 35 and a couple of sizes too big to get away with it

I did giggle to myself when I typed "Estate" but couldn;t be arsed to type "exclusive gated development of executive houses and apartments by the lovely banks of the river thames"

ANOTHER HIJACK ALERT on a similar note Tutter, my sister has a beautiful big georgian house on the Isle of wight, grounds, swimming pool , tennis court, orchard.

My mum refers to it as "the caravan"

My sisters face is a picture!

God, put black biker boots with that ensemble and that is what I used to wear in my 20s...sigh...

im 25 and a size 10... but would not wear that. like wearing the trendy shorts though.
