I appear to be the only Mum at school without a padded gilet . . .

[ellenrosethenotsosecretpirate]

am I missing out?

No.
my mum bought me one - she made it sound cool and funky (had a furry gilet last year, v good) but it is not
it is horsey
I wear it for taking the bins out

You see, that was what I was worried about - one of them wears it with her navy hunter wellies - don't need to say more

must admit I don't go that far
but I do wear cords a lot (in a funky way, you understand)
and the gilet just pushes it over the edge

Oh dear.

I wear cords.
And a padded bodywarmer.

But NOT hunter wellies.

ah, but bet your gilet's nicer than mine
(am never trusting mum with clothes again)

Well, I like it

My only problem is that both ds and dd also have them. And I refuse to go out all dressed alike...

With my 34H boobs tend to shy away from gilets, altho' have to admit I seem to be only one at school without. I have to keep telling myself that I will look like a overstuffed sausage roll.

Ah, so Mrs Badger, are you saying it is the style of them I need to be cautious over rather than excluding them completely?

yes absolutely

see, this one is horsey
this one is kind of trendy
this one is cool in a snowboardy kind of way

They are upmarket mums. Are you with 'em or agin 'em?

I am "cool in a snowboardy kind of way".

Only of course I'm not!

you need to go for link{http://www.kew-online.com/kewwebshop/shopdetail.aspx?season=0602&sty_num=6020&sty_qual=101\this} look rather than this one.

i don't wear them either

i look terrible in them

if i am going to wear some kind of jacket i want one with arms

damn
this
not
this

love that foxy beaver picture

still laughing at the one from beaver those models are brilliant aren't they

Liking the cool snowboarder ones although not sure who the hell I am trying to kid

yeah, makes me feel like an old bird wearing snowboardy/wintersports look. Must stop.

don't understand gilets

if you're cold, wear a coat
if you're not, don't

just make up your mind fgs and don't walk around looking like a pratt

Mine look Ok I think with my combat-type pants and boots. Actually, look good with jeans and also skirt and tights.

Not worn mine for a while though as it's too bloody cold - need a coat with arms atm!

it doesn't you know .. it looks daft, sorry
