A hat.

I have a small head and hats always look really, really silly on me.

G-string/thongs do not grace my underwear drawer. Can't stand the idea of anything up my bum, IYSWIM!

PVish · 05/10/2009 12:27

no hats?

fircone · 05/10/2009 12:27

My legs are like tree trunks and although I like the look, the look would not like me.

No boots .

Big calves thin ankles you see. Although I keep meaning to trawl the archives for advice on boots for chubby calved wimmin. I know I have heard tell of them on here.

I do own exercise clothing (I presume you mean jogging bottoms/yoga trousers?) but wear them in bed/to slob around at the weekend. Never outside, and never to actually exercise.
