What do you think about waistcoats?

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, and I meant gazelle not giraffe

I have to say I saw quite a few shorts when I was out on friday night - not on the nicest legs in the world plus quite a few without tights.

Guess all these things are nice on the right person with the right body shape.

cardy, that's the thing, the shorts I saw were on size 8 18/19/20 yr olds with legs up to their armpits. They still looked terrible.

did they all have corned beef legs NdP, what with it being Manc and all?

Waistcoats - loved 'em when I wore them as a teenager. Deffo too large of nork these days though

NomDePlume · 01/10/2007 12:07

there were a few corned beef knees. They were mainly all orange and patchy bad self-tan jobs

cardy · 01/10/2007 12:33

Er I'm a manc and DO NOT have corned beef legs!!

NDP, yep, I think I'll body swerve the shorts but I may just do a waistcoat - I'm not willowy and long limbed or flat chested but have average sized boobs and am slim so think I should get away with it!

NomDePlume · 01/10/2007 12:36

(I'm also a Manc and try to avoid corned beef legs)

cardy · 01/10/2007 13:20

I'm also a manc and don't have corn beef legs (that I am aware of).....I'm going to go for the waistcoat but give the shorts a miss. There'll be a lot of us looking similar I imagine

whoops sorry, didn't mean to cause offence

I am from Blackpool, so very much a case of the pot calling the kettle black

bontempi · 02/10/2007 10:23

No offence taken - there are a fair few around.

themoon66 · 28/11/2007 13:37

OK... so a waistcoat question.

When wearing over a crisp white shirt, should said shirt be tucked into my skirt/trousers or left hanging out?
