Anything that reveals the midriff
hotpants (or shorts, for that matter)
ankle boots
will never go bra-less
spaghetti strap tops

mrsmalumbas · 12/03/2008 20:07

Uggs
A Thong
Skinny Jeans
A strapless dress
Shorts
Nipple tassels
A bikini

Norks too big and have upper arm paranoia for anything too strappy/strapless so that also precluded vest tops etc although I always get vest top envy in the summer. Have varicose veins on leg hence no shorts. Have never worn a bikini, ever, even before my tummy was turned into it's current sad state by two pregnancies.

Uggs - they look like big slippers to me. Am I missing something?

Mrspanic · 12/03/2008 20:08

Oh yes forgot thongs(can i also add I therefore won't need to wear those thong pantyliners either - yuk)

Blimey you lot what is so wrong with thongs?

mrsmalumbas · 12/03/2008 20:18

Thongs are great when you are in your twenties and have a peachy, toned backside. By the time you are 40 and er,. not so toned, they are vile.

Anyone remember French Knickers? They were "in" when I was first going out with DH and I loved them, silky and sexy but not too revealing. Bring back French Knickers I say!!

notnowbernard · 12/03/2008 20:23

Peachy, pert bum?

Have only just departed my twenties and can safely say I have NEVER experienced that pleasure

That said, I continue to wear a thong with pride

CANNOT have vpl!

Desiderata · 12/03/2008 20:24

Thongs. There is something essentially disturbing about a small piece of fabric which spends its entire life up the crack of your arse.

Every time I see a thong, I smell bum. That's what's wrong with 'em.

notnowbernard · 12/03/2008 20:26

Desi, you make a good point...

You are not meant to SEE a thong

There lies the fundamental error in thong-wearing

rantinghousewife · 12/03/2008 20:27

Maxi dress (am too short)
Anything revealing of cleavage (have much better legs than norks)
Thongs, especially of the silky look nylon variety (itchy and I am not turned on by having the equivalent of a cheese slicer stuck up my arse)
Crop top (am not fecking Jordan, nor do I want to be)
Uggs (no, no, no)

pooka · 12/03/2008 20:29

crop top
tracksuit apart from when exercising
cao sleeves
roll neck (boobs too big, arms too chunky)
skinny jeans

Anna8888 · 12/03/2008 20:34

I always wear a thong and I'll be 42 this year, and I like bikinis and polo necks...

But agree with all the rest

notnowbernard · 12/03/2008 20:49

I would like to wear a polo-neck

but in my pre-children days I had a mega-bust and a polo-neck made me look like a matronly-type

still have a hangover about this

rantinghousewife · 12/03/2008 20:51

I am always in a polo neck, wear them under everything, dresses, tops, nightie, ahem, just kidding about the last one.
