I was wondering what clothing you once wore(Spelling!!!) and now regret.....Silly hats, shoes, colours or wedding dresses!

Well we were by the food table and he got a carton of triffle on his head.
I told him that he looked as funny as I did now. Threw the dress away when I got home.

I chose the latter......
.... a brown tweed skirt and a brown fair isle jumper, the shame of it.
But, I was so nosy I had to go so wore the outfit. A punishment that I have never forgotten.

I have throroughtly enjoyed these
Poor AnneBr :oops: that was sad
Anything I cringe about now??
I had an orange cagoule i wore CONSTANTLY when I was a teenager - i called it my 'orange thing' (DD will understand this) and I loved it so much - sigh....
Probably the worst was the pudding basin haircuts our Mums used to do???
(Now they go to better hairdressers than US!!! - they dont know they're born do they? kids today)
Underneath that was my Jophn Lennon Glasses complete with eye patch (cross-eyed I was :oops: )
Not a good look
No wonder I have such low self-esteem :roll:

I have had my halter neck top come undone twice. And you dont wear a bra with a halter neck. But Id rather forget about those incidents!

- Jumpers with bat wings
- Jumpers and shirts with padded shoulders (my mum used to love buying them for me, even though I have very broad shoulders and don't need the padding!)
- Rara skirts with leg warmers and stillettos
I also went through a polo neck phase when I still had very big boobs!
I don't have any regrets eithers - we'll look back on today, too, and wonder what the hell we were thinking!

Toni, please dont picture it! I had to cover up quick with my hands!

I, like others, truly have no regrets. I`ve always loved fashion, and always will, and it all felt right at the time.
What it has made me realise though, is what unshakeable confidence I had, back in the day. I was a young mum in the sixties, wearing mini skirts - or pelmets as my dad used to call them! - and revelling in how good I looked. Before life and it`s problems started to bite a bit. Mind you, I always bit back!!
It`s true though that youth is wasted on the young.........Ange.
up to my knees with a crochet black and white
mini-dress. OMG, did I really go out dressed like that?
Well it was early 1970's so maybe I am forgiven.
Oh and platform shoes that I used to fall off regularly -
usually when stood having a drink, and the drink
would splash everywhere. :roll:

I think the most embarrassing things I had to wear was the jumpers that my mum and nannie used to knit for me and my sisters.
My nannie had a knitting machine and she used to make up jumpers. The problem with them was that she would just knit long rectangles and stitch them together for the arms and body. So it was like a straight jacket when put them on. They were always stripes in all different colours. We used to get them for Christmas and we had to wear them and smile and say thanks when we received them.
I remember one of them was green and white checked and they were always too long in the body!!
