had another DONT BUY IT moment in Marks shoes today. Lady with the daughter and the knee boots

DONT LISTEN TO HER

the boots looked terrible. They made your legs look bigger and just shit.
DONT wear them around the house first to get them to loosen up, they didnt fit or suit

get a cool ankle boot instead.
And get a new daughter

Mine too. I was once described as looking like a demented tablecloth. I can't remember what I could possibly have been experimenting with as practically my entire wardrobe is black, white, grey and navy with no pattern in sight

i once thought i looked fab in a new black jumper with black feathers round neck (this was pushing 20 years ago). No, apparently I looked like a gothic vicar.

he was right and i didnt wear it again

I once had an hour-long strop with my mum because she wanted to lend me her Mary Quant raincoat.

No, no, no - not bloody Mary Quant, don't make me wear a sixties icon when it's 1979. Now, I'd kill for it.

It's the expression "tucked into boots" that gets me - if you need to 'tuck' your jeans are too bloody wide !

Maybe I'm an arsehole but I don't give a shit what other people buy.

Laughing at the mexican and the vicar

I once bought a very classy (I thought) choc brown hooded bathrobe from White company. It looked so sumptuous and classy.

"Hey" says DH, " you look like a Belgian Monk"

I felt so sexy

Aged 22, I proudly bought home my charity-shop bargain, a navy cashmere overcoat. "You like exactly like Noel Coward in that" said my sister, entirely correctly. I wore it twice, feeling the whole time like I should get some monogrammed slippers on. Then it went back to the charity shop.
