in Old style MoneySaving
Ok if you didn't already know Friday is Wrong Trousers day, like it states you simply wear a pair of trousers that you normally wouldn't.

Well tiny problem......i dont have any and cannot afford to buy some that are weird etc etc.

I work in a school and as where raising funds for it i can't go into work without wrong trousers on. So does anyone have any tips i could do to a pair of jeans that wouldn't ruin them??

I simply thought about pinning on tea towels and ribbons, but would the pin holes do anything to the jeans??

Any other ideas???

    Thanks so much, i love it and requires little effort.

    Aril.....don't wear pj bottoms, more of a night shirt girl and old trackie pants at bed time.

    Wallace & Gromit’s Wrong Trousers Day 2008 will take place on Friday 27th June. You can join thousands of people , at work, school and nursery for a musical extravaganza to celebrate the first musical Wrong Trousers Day and raise money to help sick children in hospitals and hospices across the UK.

    You could ask on freecycle for an unusual pair?
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)
