Re: What Fashion Item Do You Miss?
I've thought long and hard and I think it's my denim dungarees.There must be an age limit on dungarees mustn't there?
Please advise if you think otherwise as I'd buy more in a shot!
My beloved pair I wore from about 17 to 23 y o ish?
I wore them mostly with brown cowboy boots (under the leg of the dungarees) and vest tops or fluffy mohair jumpers, depending on the weather. I loved them. They faded eventually and frayed at the hem and knees but I wore them for as long as I could.
I drew the line at chequered shirts and a cowboy hat!
...and chewing straw!!!

Re: What Fashion Item Do You Miss?
I always wanted some dungarees as an adult Rhian but never got around to buying any. They were so trendy in the 80s - was it Bananarama wearing them? At the time they were not associated with lesbians. But these days they seem to have a stereotype attached. Both lesbians and straight women probably don't want to be pigeonholed so they have fallen off the fashion wagon.

Some of the cowboy boots are a bit too pointy and curly-toed for me.
I think my boots were more like biker boots thinking back..
I'll see if I can find a pic of something similar...
Ah.. here we are a bit like these... I don't think they had the straps though

I have looked at R.Soles.com and the Cowgirl and Cowboy Boots all seem to be pointy toed.
The biker boots for men are more round toed but l suppose they’d look silly with pointy toes!!

Years I had them.
The only thing I didn't like about them was when I needed the loo. I can't tell you the number of times the shoulder straps hung down aiming for the water in the bowl.
They never succeeded though

Re: What Fashion Item Do You Miss?
We fashionistas have to be ready for all seasons.I am getting ready for winter, a friend of mine knitted be some very fashionable socks to wear with my stylish footwear.
It saves scrunching up ordinary socks when one is out on those cold winter days.
