    Deepest shame is concerning the trip to Center Parks the same year when I felt it necessary to equip the whole family with shell suits involving a lot of fuschia/purple/turquoise flashes.

    I thought that loads of fuschia/purple/turquoise was a legal requirement for shell suits? :confused: Not forgetting day glo orange and green as well of course!

    I seem to remember satin shirts being pretty "in" around 1995/1996 - have a vague memory of buying a bright orange satin shirt in New Look in the sale for about £4 and thinking what a bargain it was...

    Truth is, no one else was stupid enough to buy it :rotfl:

    I only live round the corner from Sudley House and I've still haven't been there :o Must go soon!

    I don't think I've had too many complete disasters, mainly because I'm quite a boring dresser. Although some of my childhood outfits were flipping horrible - I had LOADS of culottes :rolleyes:

    oh yes, cullottes...i used to get sent to school in them instead of skirts, cos my mum preferred them..

    Most late 90s/early Noughties crimes against fashion...

    - Combat trousers with tassels on them
    - Huuuge wide leg jeans (not complete without the bike chain)
    - Tracksuit pants that were elasticated at the ankle

    I'l probably think of more later...

    I had purple paisley dungarees.

    My only defence is that my mother bought them. And I was 12.

    Oh dear, Jane Fonda style leotard, tights and legwarmers, thinking I was looking super hot at my aerobics classes. What was I thinking? :rotfl:
