No shorts, g strings or heels.

Ugg boots. I don't get it - they're horrible.

nickelbabe · 05/10/2009 12:37

sugardumpling - we also have mutual socks. Me, DH and DS1 all share one giant bag of black socks.

Ooooh so I can add that. I don't own 'girl socks'.

notamumyetbutoneday · 05/10/2009 12:47

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 05/10/2009 12:52

Thongs
Uggs
Heels
Matching Underwear

paddingtonbear1 · 05/10/2009 12:53

I don't have any g-strings, I don't find them comfy at all. My legs are a bit large for shorts and I hate tights - in winter I just wear trousers.

lljkk · 05/10/2009 12:58

Same as Doyouthinktheysaurus, plus No
Bikini (I lack confidence, but I now own a tankini with shorts, so have improved!)
Boots (I did try to buy some 2 years ago, but my feet are too wide)
More than one handbag
Dress shoes that are less than 5 years old

If I wasn't such a hoarder I'd toss all my skirts, too, because I almost never wear them, either.

A friend had a double masectomy recently... which sounds awful, except that I secretly envy the fact that she doesn't need to worry about bras any more! Sounds so liberating.

joliejolie · 05/10/2009 13:05

A Gillet

MissAnnesley · 05/10/2009 13:07

PJs only.

fishie · 05/10/2009 13:22

slug · 05/10/2009 13:23

Pyjamas/nightie etc (I sleep in the buff)
Heels
G string/thong/anal cheese wire
Bikini, though I have many swimsuits
Skinny jeans (with my thighs??)

preciouslillywhite · 05/10/2009 13:24

ThisPhantomPlopsPumpkins · 05/10/2009 13:27

G string.
Hoodies.
Hat.
Umbrella - I need one though.
Uggs.
Rain coat or trousers.
Wellies.

bigTillyMint · 05/10/2009 13:28

I own loads of thongs- I can't bear normal knickers with jeans / trousers, it's so uncomfortable. And mine are not like cheese wires!

LadyoftheBathtub · 05/10/2009 13:28

High-heeled / pointy-toed shoes. I do actually see some and think they look lovely but they never fit me, and if they did I'd fall over (5'10" and feet like a hobbit's)

Suits/Jackets
Trenchcoat with belt and little epaulettes
Pencil skirt

Basically grown-up ladies' / office clothes. Luckily I don't work in an office. I would look awkward and dreadful.
