Things you really want to wear but just don't suit you

Today I received the following that I had ordered online - a pair of Hush harems, and a pair of Nike Internationalist trainers. I can wear these together, I thought, that will look good. So I duly tried them on and went to admire myself in the full length mirror.

I looked ridiculous. Like mutton dressed as lamb. I am 46, and have clearly learnt nothing from the time, about 28 years ago, when I ill-advisedly wore a pair of Soul II Soul tracksuit bottoms with some enormous Converse basketball trainers and got odd looks from people at sixth form college and complete strangers.

I still yearn for harem trousers and trainers though. Stupidly. Anyone else "suffer" similarly?!

Culottes and boots. I look like an Argentine gaucho. Mini skirts (fat thighs. Leggings look awful even with a long top as I have milk bottle calves ( I grew up somewhere hilly and blame the shape of my legs on walking up hills all the time!)

I tried my DD choker on yesterday. The saggy neck did me no favours Sad
