What do you think about waistcoats?

[cardy]

there are a lot about in the shops at the moments....over a blouse with high-waisted trousers or Kate Moss - style. I quite like them but I can't help thinking about the one I had in the 80s with frilly blouse and velvet pedel-pushers - Adam Ant style

I'll try and find some links.

oh this is like the gilet thread a little while ago - I should think not a good idea on a large chested person

I like 'em

I wear mine with skinny black jeans and a tshirt

Or over a white shirt for work

boris, your daughter is gorgeous, beautiful hair (peeped at your profile)

Thanks lou

i pay good money to make mine curly, i bet she ends up wanting straight hair when she is bigger lol

honestly she is adorable

Oooooh, she's fabulous (sorry, couldn't resist peeking!). LOVE the hair. I've always wanted curly hair, but mine couldn't be straighter [sob]

I prefer a tank top meself. I have some lovely ones from Jigsaw. Waistcoats I wore in the 80's/early 90's and it's hard to get away from that.

I know but I wish I'd kept mine from the 80s....but I bet they would be too small now.

Thanks Cardy - will have a look tomorrow; usually only go into New Look and Topshop to look at stuff with dd1 - will I feel very old?!

I know I always feel a bit 'mature' when I go into New Look - even the staff are all under 20! Someone told me recently that they do really nice shoes - I might go back and have a look.

like ht eida a lot

i fink

i stil want wool shorts shrot ish to wear wiht opaques

nto pleated orr flared
straight

Me too, but not 100% sure I'd be brave enough to wear them!

shorts i mean

oh god yes

same as mini skirt

pretty average in that area...I might give it a go...

boobs that is.

Shorts - I like them, but what lenght? I'd go for just above the knee, not brave enough for anything shorter.

GG - Love the Karen Millen one..

Shorts would have to be thigh length - knee length would be a no-no I think. Doesn't matter if they are short if you have tights on. I just think everyone would look at me and think 'fashion victim'!!

I saw quite a few chic ones out and about this weekend. I think they can look good on the right person - generally tall, flat-chested and long-limbed.

I don't nec think that waistcoats are a fashion only suitable for certain age groups but I do think they are only good on the slender, giraffe types. Otherwise it's all a bit David Essex.

Oh God, speaking of shorts, I went out in the Manchester backwaters on Saturday night (not where I saw the chic wasitcoats), there was an abundance of teeny, tiny shorts and stilettos. It was like a uniform. Naffarama
