Leggings

Philippa36

I remember wearing white tights under a pair of denim cutoff shorts as a teenager and an adult commenting that it wasn't a particularly good idea! I was always a little outrageous in my fashion though - my daughter has the same interesting tastes :rotfl: (I was a very skinny size 8 though, as is my DD now)

I bought black leggings from Primark but I won't be wearing them, they don't stay up for more than 5 minutes :rolleyes:

Ooooh just go onto this this thread, takes me back a few years (and a few lbs!!) was a time I could wear this stuff and not bat an eye - now - I am deffinately taking on board comments and advice. As a major hoarder, of olympic standard, I just may have have som leggings stored away. Will check and report later.
I used to have multi coloured ones, denim and of course the black ones.

Ahhh those were the days when I had confidence, long glossy hair and possibly no fashion sense at all but I didn't care.:rotfl:

Yes - still in its packet! a pair of thick black leggings. Nowthat's what I call being prepared!! Now if only I could get back into my size 10 posh afgan coat!!

An Afghan coat? You must be about my age, then. I'd dust it off and try to sell it, they're collectors items now. I wish I still had my fringed waistcoat: I have much younger chums who love all that hippy stuff I used to wear as a youngster.

Ha Ha! If only it was because I looked that gorgeous in them and not that they don't have enough elastic!!

So are Top Shop the best for thickness then? I looked at some in Next at the weekend and they were a bit on the flimsy side for me!

I am so jealous, leggings sound fantastic with what everyone is wearing. However, since I'm on a no spend challenge, I'm going to ask dd1 if I can try hers on. I need a nice outfit for a special night out friday, and I have a shortish (above knee) dress which might look fab, with leggings, tucked into boots.

Since I'm not buying anything new I'm trying out lots of different looks when normally I would have just bought something new.

Saving money & a new look, I'm on to a winner!!!
Thanks all

PS Thats always assuming the outfir doesn't look crap!

Hi there BitterAndTwisted - you must be in the 21+ bracket then:rotfl:

Been through a couple of fashion faux pas in my time. One that sticks out was when wearing tinkly bells was in.

Didn't have the little bell - so pinched my mothers brass bell off the mantle piece. I sounded more like 'bring out your dead' than love and peace.:o

Then there was the big bouncy curls I wanted, like Rula Lenska - turned out like Bride of Frankinstein with her fingers in a socket. I have NEVER had a perm since. It took 5 months to grow it long enough to have it all cut off. My hair was about an inch and a half long. Lesson learned!!

I absolutely love this. Can imagine your bell tolling as you strolled down the street! The things we do for fashion! :rotfl:

A coach driver is transporting a group of blind kids back from a school trip. It's a hot summer's day and he decides to stop for a break at a country pub. As the blind kids get out the coach he notices them carrying a football. "How are you gonna play football? You're blind", he enquires. "Oh we've got a special football with a bell in it", says one of the kids, "Go and have a drink, we'll be fine!"
Slighty amused, the driver goes into the pub, gets a drink,and sits down to read the paper. Some time passes and a police officer enters.
"Who's in charge of those blind kids outside?" asks the officer.
"I am officer, is there a problem?" "A problem!? They've just kicked a morris dancer to death"
