I've noticed lots of Brighton boys have shorter skinny trousers now actually (am talking 10+ years). And Pete Doherty hats

aufish I think you have had a humour bypass here Step away from the thread

NuttyMuffins · 19/02/2007 18:05

Oh well, if i can't find them i'll just tie them up with ribbon or something

pointydog · 19/02/2007 18:06

that's a skate belt. I thought you lot were talking about snake skin belts

hana · 19/02/2007 18:06

oh no!
she has been know to wear the white socks with said polyester grey school trousers (but kinda nice ones with bootcut leg, nice in a 5 year old kind of way....)
but has mostly been pinnafores and tights.
agree looks ok with skirts though

Even strapping 17 year old High School boys have to wear shorts to school in NZ ... very very sensible.

Rather cute too

NuttyMuffins · 19/02/2007 18:07

Thats a skate belt not a snake belt, Ds can't do those and if i'm honest i can't either, they always get stuck lol.

hana · 19/02/2007 18:07

pointydog · 19/02/2007 18:08

hmm, I do not like boys in short trousers, ghosty.

I remember laughign at a cousin of mine who was off to a private school in shorts.

I was a cruel cruel child laughing at fashion

NuttyMuffins · 19/02/2007 18:08

Ah ha this is what i mean

pointydog · 19/02/2007 18:09

what's that you;ve done there, puddle?

OttergavebirthonValentines · 19/02/2007 18:09

i just dont gat that argument that we have to dree our boys in too short trousers just because they are thin
belts are not a modern invention

pointydog · 19/02/2007 18:09

oh I see. The snakey buckle
