After years of skinnies, I was a child of punk and used to take the jeans my mum bought me from the market off to her Singer Sewer to drainpipe them, I decided I needed a change. DP loves the 70s so I thought I'd surprise him and order myself a pair of £29.99 cheapos to ease me in gradually.
- You spend the initial wearing wondering whether you've remembered to put knickers on or not due to the sudden drafts up your trouser leg you can't remember having before.
- When removing at night remember to shake said knickers out of them. If not you run the risk of rushing to put them on when the doorbell goes first thing and your last nights knickers being plonked at the feet of the postman/vicar/posh neighbour/Jehovah's Witness.
- When rushing with the above try to put shoes or slippers on or you will get right foot big toe caught in left leg flare flap and fall down the stairs.
- You panic at the old men looking at you in Asda and wondering whether it's because a) last nights knickers are in the fish aisle or b) they think your doing the weekly shop for Charlie's Angels.
- Due to more fabric you convince yourself that you don't need to cover bum area a'la skinnies.
- DP will love them and want to act out scenes from Man About The House. As Richard O'Sullivan and one of the chicks, not as George and Mildred. I think anyway...
- Check one leg isn't turned up before stepping out of the house.
- High waists are not a friend of a) belly button piercings or b) long bodies (the exception being if you don't need to or can't actually sit down, ever).
- You get paranoid over so called 'invisible' panty liners and discreetly double check every 16 steps. Checking the ground behind you also counts as a subtle check.
- They are NOT boot cut!!!!
Other than that I love them! Free your legs ladies!
