I've had some miss sixty ones for 3 years, but I can't get into them since dd.
Mine always wear out now, must spend too much time on my knees!

About 5 yaesr old but I haven't worn them for 3.5 years since I got pregnant. They're just so sexy and evocative that I can't part with them despite knowing that I'll never get my hips into them again.

Since early pg for me, so about 3 years... But they were nicked off Psycho, so maybe 3 1/2

You get frightening looking people in both though... either the bulging held in tummy in the nipple covering type, or the lovely bulge over the top of the hipsters (and the red thong with holes in on women who REALLY shouldn't be wearing them!!!)

You can tell I live in a classy area!

I'm toyig with the idea of crpooed jeans with long spindly boots. They look great on some and horribly fashion-victimy on others. I'm afraid I will fall into the second category

Summer in the Midlands though, Coddy, hardly the French Riviera
