What is the most hard working item in your wardrobe?

Apart from your jeans?

I have a little light grey cardy (like a school cardy) which I wear all the time all year round(perhaps I should wash it ).

What can't you live without?

My leopard trench coat. Sling it over any old tat, it looks the business.

ScottishMummy, what's a kick flare? I need pics please. Am desperate for decent black work trousers, any inspiration welcome!
My hardest working item? At the moment, probably two ribbed wool polo necks from Hobbs, one dark brown, one pillar box red. I really feel the cold!

my slippers

scottishmummy · 09/02/2008 20:37

Bally work shoes.
They would give James Brown a run for his money.

i would love to be able to wear red, i did until about a year ago, then my lil sis had a word with me and told me that it made me look like death warmed up and looking at pics, she was right.

it seems that redheads are either red or green, never both!

Bluestocking · 09/02/2008 20:49

Thanks SM. Always happy to have an excuse to browse in Hobbs!

PaulaYatesbiggestFan · 09/02/2008 20:58

vest tops esp long ones under everything

Maidamess · 09/02/2008 21:00

Paula, where do you get long vest tops from?

I am tall, and they are never long enough to look layered under another top.

scottishmummy · 09/02/2008 21:02

black opaque tights
touche eclat
lancome mascara
