clothes that are inappropriate for a 37-year-old woman to wear no matter how good a shape she is in and look muttony and trashy.

Anything that I wore first time it was in fashion - skinny jeans, pixie boots etc. I reckon if you see a fashion come around a second time then that means you shouldn't wear it and leave it for the teenagers !

Crocs
Ugg boots
A thong
A French maid costume
Anything with a sporty logo or the Playboy bunny on it.

Loads more if I started to think about it.
