Group 7-day waking average?

My favourite item of clothing in the 80s was a boiler suit. It was a bright turquoise blue and i wore it with the arms and legs rolled up, a wide white belt, white stilettos and white bead necklace and earrings. Thank goodness i don't have a photo! I thought i looked the bees knees ( :rofl: and headin hands emoji).

Has anyone else got favourite clothes from years ago?

I can picture that outfit. I had a whole array of plastic necklaces, bangles and earrings in every hue. I worked in Chelsea Girl, before babies came along, and my entire wages went on clothes. I was a total fashion victim. One of my favourite outfits was a mini kilt. It was lemon and blue “tartan” and I wore it with a lemon short sleeved thin sweater. Mind you I was 7 stone wet through then, I could wear most things, except jump suits as I’m only 5ft 2ins! Happy, carefree days.

There was a vogue for splitting already flared jeans up the sides and inserting a triangle of contrasting material, and also a band of it round the hem, to make them even longer and more flared. I can remember doing that to a couple of pairs!
I did it with some red and white gingham check material I had left over from making a smock (which were also in fashion). I must have looked like a tablecloth that had escaped from a French café.
Again, fortunately, no surviving photos.

I wore loons in the 70s, anyone remember them? Similar to what you describe but you bought them like that. I had a dusky pink brushed fake suede pair and I embroidered Slade on the back pocket! “Cum on feel the Noize!” I didn’t embroider that on the pockets they weren’t big enough! :rofl:

I had the same! Turquoise boilet suit worn with the sleeves & legs rolled up and a wide belt. I loved it. We were on holiday in France and I was desperate for the loo. We stopped in a cafe and I rushed to the ladies - which was a hole in the floor jobbie.... with a door that closed direct onto it and no hook for bag nor belt... so I held them in my teeth whilst I struggled out of the boiler suit. Half way through the procedure the bag and belt slipped, I let go of the boiler suit to grab them and the back went down the hole.... I slunk back to Julian with a wet back and pronounced "We're going straight back to the hotel so I can get changed". I never felt quite the same about the garment after that!
 
Morning all - it's quite nice this morning, though black clouds lurketh threateningly.

7.4 this morning. I am despairing as my TIR is utterly trashed by horrible spikes after every meal. Very discouraging.

There's still loads of meat on the lamb leg, so I think I'll make it into shepherd's pie to have when we get home this evening after meeting friends in the pub. Can bulk it out as needs with veggies.

@Grannylorraine sending hugs. That kind of stress isn't worth it. Hopefully a good run will relieve some of it.

@ColinUK saw the ballet of Carmen at the Bolshoi theatre in Moscow back in the early 70s. Unfortunately we had to share a box with some farmers who had won the trip to the theatre for wheat production in outer siberia or somewhere..... somewhere where they had not heard of deodorant!

Have a good day all....
 
A happy 5.3 for me this fine morning.

I loved my hipster loons. My waist size then was 27-28, so I had to wear a belt with them (as I had a tight bum) so I was told at the time. :rofl:

Oh i loved Chelsea Girl. I would save some of my wages every month then go for a big spend up, carrying home lots of bags. I used to feel rich doing that.

Oh you have made my laugh. I can picture it happening :rofl: .

I remember going through a New Romantic stage. Frills on the blouses and lacy bits everywhere. I must have looked a right sight!

Oh I was a New Romantic. Skinny red cropped jeans and flouncy frilly blouse. Long coloured beads and long dangling earrings just in one ear! I’m sure I do have a photo. Watch this space.
 
Morning a 7.3 for me and another pretty flat line after a 9.7 going to bed and deciding a 1u correction.
Nice day planned in Shropshire so a nice lunch at Ellesmere or Chirk beckons after a lovely Welsh rarebit yesterday.
Have a good day all
