My dd has spent her pocket money on some leg warmers and is now lecturing me, a child of the 80s , how to wear them.

[TWINSETinapeartree]

She does think she is tres chic and too cool for school.

I love it! So tell me, Twinset, how do the young things wear leg warmers these days??

Put Flashdance on and show her how it's done

They are strange because two of the pairs are not that baggy, I thought legwarmers were meant to be baggy.

DD has jus looked at me in all sincerity and said they must be English legwarmers, hers apparantly are American ones.

She is currently wearing them quite high and not that pushed down, looks awful to me but dp has given me that leave her be look so I am staying silent and amused.

Ooh, ohh, put them on and start singing "FAME! I'm gonna live forever, I wanna learn how to fly, HIGH..people will see me and cry.."

ooh, I just had a moment

she has now layered all three pairs going up her leg, apparantly that is the coolest thing you can do with them.

i still use my 80's legwarmers !!!

I was a dancer until i had DS2 and i use them still for cold days (i don't like tights!)

Of course, if you don't want her to wear them, you should tell her she looks fab and just like you did when you were her age...

I have some. to wear peeping out of the top of my boots.
Matalan. £1 50

This takes me back, suede ankle boots and legwarmers

no these are Cowboy.
New look £50

Dd got hers in M&Co, 3 pairs for £6.

Fivegomad I tried on some red suede ankle boots today and was prancing about the shop in them, dp told me to act my age!

Dear god Twinset please ask for this thread to be deleted

I really don't want to be reminded about legwarmers

You see if I was thin enough I would go out in black leg warmers, burgandy boots and a beret.

Mine were fluro yellow with matching fingerless gloves.

I thought I was cheese.

DD has some black kace fingerless gloves which she adores.

it'll be ra ra skirts before we can say bananarama, you'll see

I loved my ra ra skirt! It was all candy stripes and did nothing for my tubbiness.

dd already has rara skirts, infact she has on at the moment, her 3 pairs of leg warmers, a rara skirt, a vest and a huge bow in her hair!

Now I loved legwarmers, and have been secretly pondering whether it is possible to get away with them again at my advanced age (nearly 40).
I have also been thinking of buying some fingerless gloves, but that is only because it is so bloody cold in our workshop but I can't work with real gloves on, which I think is a legitimate excuse

Aimsmum - you need to show her this UV nail varnish that glows under UV Lights .

I bought some for DD, they are different from the 80's ones, they have an ankle strap thingy.
