Accidental trendiness?

We do, mollie65. <slightly smug >

I still have a pair but they were consigned to gardening use - perhaps on 2nd thoughts, they now have that lived in grunge look with the obligatory tear at thigh level!

janeainsworth - me too but do we still fit in them?
tried to sell them on ebay a year ago and no takers
will try again and label them 'mom jeans' (or should it be 'mother jeans' to avoid the Americanism)
looks as if skinny jeans and low slung have had their day - shame as they suit the slimmer shorties.

I recently saw an article in the paper about these 'mom jeans' in Topshop.

They hark back to the early 90's and apparently are the new rave thing.
It will save me buying new ones, as I have a pair in the wardrobe that I haven't worn since, er, the early 90's!

I think I am quite trendy but just a few years too late to be trendy right now!

They are very on trend.

No, they really have been wearing them lately!

I wear glasses for reading but just get the cheap kind, 15€. Usually very fine rims, but last time I went to buy some she only had heavy horn-rimmed things, so I had to make do with those.
We visited some much younger friends, I put on these specs, and she said "Those are really trendy!"
I don't know if she meant it or was just being kind.

I have to wear socks in bed due to arthritis starting up in my feet, and always dreaded anyone coming to the house early before I was dressed because they would see me in what looks like a jersey tunic dress over leggings with long cardigan, little socks and ballerina slippers. Then about three years ago, young ladies everywhere were suddenly wearing socks under sandals and with their pumps! With shapeless dresses! Suddenly I was bang on trend. Until 9am, anyway.

Sadly (for me) the fashion seems to have died out. I'm not sorry really, it looked appalling.
