mariel - still not tried mine on yet..maybe this eve..i prefer leggings that are too long over too short, is it weird to wear them over the ankle so they end halfway over your foot? thats what i always do lol

(having a stupidly broke month already, despite the fact it's officially one week since payday - blame the ex's inability to sort out his own financial mess!) grrrr~!!!!

I wear them that way, keeps my feet warmer It's more by accident than by choice though - I'm so short that even the short ones don't finish on the ankle :rotfl:

Me too Work owes me £60 or so in petty cash but other than that I have £40 to spend until 25th. No spending for me!

I wear treggings as trousers if that counts, but always with knee length boots and if I'm wearing a short top I balance out wit a long cardi. I never quite understood jeggings and as for leggings well I'd nver wear them as normal trousers. There is something about treggings having a button, waist and pockets on the bum that make me feel safe about wearing them IYKWIM?

I'm wearing jeggings tomorrow and saturday, I think...I feel a little insecure about them. I find jeans difficult (and many trousers) as I don't actually have any feeling on the front of my torso, and jeans/trousers have caused rubs abrasions without me knowing..which in turn then becomes a dreary job of monitoring for infection. I generally find I dislike things with less give, perhaps since I ut on weight? Not sure whether its weight or fussiness of age/less robust health/more sedentary lifestyle...but its annoying!

Have never heard of treggings, Im intrigued! They sound like very skinny fit jeans, am I right?

Trouser leggings, they are just like leggings but have a waist and pockets, they are fab

reckon i have about 100 til the end of the month, as i told him i couldnt' afford to lend as much as he said he needed..he drives me mad tho, as he's not exactly making any effort! seem to spend my life making his easier, and he still treats me like **** the cause of mucho heartache im afraid!

and i will never have the legs for jeggings, treggings or any of their lycra-based cousins! :S

i prefer thin jumpers - always too warm (the girl who doesn't often wear coats, when it rains, or in winter, due to being too warm!)

My blog has always been about what I wear, what I like, and I don't think I should let the illness take that away from me because a few people don't like it.
I think I'm going to go to moderated comments for a while and see how that goes.

I think that's best. I can't believe some people are so insensitive! hugs!

Still feel like pants today - I don't suppose working last night helped. I'm just in leggings and a grey jumper dress today. On a birighter note - I convinced my mum to buy herself an acid green mac a few weeks ago, and nowshe has decided its too bright for her. Actually it looks amazing but she doesn't feel confident enough to wear it. So it's mine! A size too big but I can get away with it.

I'll blog my jewellery later I think.

on a jewellery note, i definitely am challenging myself to wear a different piece every day..maybe for a month..i have soo much jewellery, but its something i buy because its cute, and then never think of in the morning when im putting together an outfit!
have done hats and gloves, next blog post = jewellery stock take, as i think it would be good to remind myself of how much (!) i have that has never been worn! thanks for the inadvertant reminder there, caroline - hope you're feeling better soon xx
