Ha-Ha, I bought a black and whit tinic tpo yesterday which I think is really smart so I was going to get some ankle leggings to go with it...but

[Bobbisox]

When my daughter came down earlier I showed her the garment , she said she liked it but then I told her about the leggings, she was aghast..pmsl
she said" Mam will you not feel a bit like Heather from EE?" I reminded her I was no where near as fat and still had good legs for my age...the bloody madam!!!!
so what did she do?
Went to the Metro Centre and came back with black skinny jeans for me from Next, they are lovely and go perfect with the tunic..
Was she asking me to dress my age do ya think...ha-ha:-0)

[boxtops]

what's a tinic tpo?

[Bobbisox]

sorry boxy...a Tunic top, well spotted..lol

[boxtops]

doc, I've got some on now...

[Bobbisox]

errr smart pensioners in legging doc, no varicose veins here ;-0)

[boxtops]

We are the Leggings Brigade bobbi, can't beat it, leggings rule. I just make sure that what is on top is long enough to cover my bum.

[Bobbisox]

zaccally boxy, we are young pensioners, we are..

[craft1948]

The daughter was quite correct boobi..........pensioners in leggings look sad.

[Bobbisox]

not this one crafty, anyway I have given in and will be wearing the black skinny jeans instead..lol

[Mamyalynne]

I tend to agree with your daughter, skinny jeans are far more sophisticated and even with a great figure, leggings can even make teenagers look a bit like Max Wall. LOL

[woofgang]

I quite fancy jeggings....

[Bobbisox]

I know, you are all quite correct but I'm a stubborn bugger...lol

[craft1948]

The only time ANYONE should wear leggings is a) if they are going to the gym or b) if they are doing a Max Wall impression. Black Next jeans are excellent, in fact they are the only jeans lady pensioners should wear.,

[boxtops]

Craft, do they make Next jeans in a size big enough to fit me? There is no next within twenty miles of here. I haven't worn jeans for years, mighty uncomfortable for the larger person.

[Bobbisox]

so you approve crafty...pmsl

[woofgang]

if they did them big enough for my bum I would....M and S do nice ones

[craft1948]

Next go up to a sixe 18 in black skinny jeans............if you're over an 18 should you be wearing jeans?

[Bobbisox]

gl;ad I'm ok then, I agree craft

[boxtops]

That's my point craft, I am an over 18 so don't wear 'em (big jeans look like I'm a builder) - hence - elegant leggings and a nice long top.

[boxtops]

Wor, someone wore those jeggings to work the other day without having a long enough top to cover her bits - I'm afraid the camel toe was in evidence, not a good look.
