Today, I have committed the ultimate Sartorial Faux Pas....

I accidentally wore double denim, then because I was rushing, I considered it and went "Nah, CBA". Yes, I am old enough to know better. No, still not bothered. There may be a special circle of Hell reserved for me (7.5a?) but I still can't bring myself to care very much. Is this is a bonus in exchange for everything heading south, rapidly? getting to a certain age? Will I start wearing purple soon, and moaning about the price of butter? Tell me your fashion things, that you're not bothered about, please. TIA.

@Maireas
I think the elastic was struggling tbh

Ach, it's only the Co-op.

I call them my dog walking trousers.

Lightweight, navy walking trousers, been in them all day, multiple pockets (some even have a zip), they are so unbelievably comfy in this weather, never crease although I rustle as I walk.

As well as actually walking the dog in them today, I was seen by people I know when I then did a food shop later, yeah its just me rustling around the supermarket. Don't give a jot.

@Terfydactyl I am picturing you as some kind of Meals on Wheels Mad Monk. Tis a pleasing image.

Yes to big gussetts.

Today, readers, I am wearing a frock (yes I am old) that actually exposes part of my knees, my denim man's jacket that I have trimmed the cuffs of with red ribbon to 'feminise' it a bit. Cos of the red, in the dress, and the jacket, and I have remembered I own a pair of red trainer socks, I am wearing those with my white trainers. They can't touch you for it, apparently. Grin

Yeah, Fred's been through some shit, the street has an informal rota to feed him while he recovers. My dressing gown of doom has had many sightings in the street. From calling the cat, to running out to the postman, it's an ugly thing of beauty.

Anyway, I used to rock a very old donkey jacket (now lost in the myriad house moves) and this thread brought it to mind. It was my uncles and far too big for me but I loved it. Amazingly they are still sold

See @Terfydactyl that makes me want to own one! Many moons ago, I had a very trendy uni tutor who rocked one!

I wore black trousers and a coloured top today.

This means I am going to hell and everyone has sniggered behind my back.

as long as it wasn't orange 😂🎃

What’s all this about “embracing”(?) big knickers? I often don’t wear any knix at all in the warmer weather including at work. I don’t wear short skirts or do cart wheels, so for me an air conditioned under carriage sets me free 😂.

Many years ago I got caught out not wearing any knickers 😱 I crashed my motorbike and broke my leg badly. I was lying in the middle of the road arguing with paramedics who were saying they needed to cut my jeans off me. ‘They’re my best Levis!’ I cried … ‘not any more’ was the response. So they gave me gas and air and got the scissors out … oh, the shame! 😳 I’ve never gone out commando since 🤭
