Ladies - what do you wear..........

[UKDEB]

I don't do casual very well - I just feel scruffy. It's definitely to do with my size; if I ever get back to the size 10 I was when I met dh (well I can dream!) I would wear shorts. As it is I tend to wear cut-off trousers in Florida (last year I had a couple of pairs of checked capri pants and a pair of red cotton ones) with plain t-shirts and trainers during the day. I like to dress up a bit for the evenings and usually take a couple of summer dresses and sandals and some linen trousers. In the past I have worn dungaree shorts.

Jan, I think you should wear what you feel happy in. I know what everyone says about not knowing anyone and there being much worse sights to behold, but I know I would feel uncomfortable and self-conscious wearing shorts.

Well - thanks everyone for the support here, I have taken a bold step today and bought some.........cropped trousers!!!

In fact I have bought three pairs. I was surprised to see them in my size in Primark. I have never shopped in there before but was having a stroll today in Romford and Katie pointed out these trousers. One pair in Pale Lavender Linen, one in Petrol Blue and a beige pair. I bought them and they all fit ok. With a T Shirt over the top, I think they dont look too bad either and feel quite comfy in them - so I am happy. Even more happy that they were at the unbelievable cheap price of £6.00 each pair!!! What a bargain. Less than £20 and I have three pairs

Now..........whether I actually wear them is another thing LOL. (I will...I will...I will)

sounds like I need to visit Primark.

it's not the other people that I worry about, but the photo's, we take loads of pics on holiday and there's nothing worse than looking awful in all of the holiday photos.

Last year, rather than t-shirts I bought polo shirts with a collar from Cotton Traders - they weren't very expensive. I still wore shorts, although I don't like my legs, but at least with a polo top on I felt fairly respectable.

Well I've avoided this for days Jan, coz I wondered what on earth yer were askin about!

Sounds like you've had good advice from the Girls and it IS important that yer feel right whatever you choose.

Whatever yer wear, Pet, yer'll look lovely. I know.
Ask Chris. We wouldn't lie to yer, would we?

Thanks Dave - such compliments!

Well, you'll be pleased to know that I went shopping again today and found two pairs of shorts in Matalan (2 pairs for £10!) - I can't believe all these bargains I'm finding. So I think I'm all set now

Not long now.

Are you saying that you think my kilt makes my bum look big?
