you'd never wear now? I wore gold lipstick, fishnets, a latex skirt, denim jeans.

Shoes of any description. I now live in Crocs, trainers and Ugg boots. I still wear a shirt and vest top that I wore when I was 19. But haven’t worn jeans for years. Which is why my weight fluctuates as there was no better warning of weight gain than your jeans feeling tight. Leggings must be responsible for a lot of people putting on weight in recent years. I don’t think I’ll ever wear my parrot earrings again….And it’s annoying that I rarely wear dresses now as it’s only over the past year that I’ve discovered tights that actually fit.

Very short skirts. A gorgeous but very clingy midi dress that I wore without underwear as it spoilt the look.

I'd never go out without knickers now.

My school uniform. Iced pink lippy from Avon.

Apart from the very short skirts etc from the 60s and 70s, I’d be pushed to wear my lovely ‘50s dresses with very small tight waists and very full skirts.

2 large safety pins and a terry nappy?

Oh, yes - white stretchy boots, I had forgotten them and fuchsia coloured tights

'Do', not so.

A knitted swimming costume - a big mistake!

I had a brown wrapover press-stud suede mini skirt that I absolutely loved. I think I bought it in the south of France.
My daughter also wore it when she was a teenager.
I found it recently in my granddaughter's wardrobe. She's only five, so maybe in a few years time it might get worn again?
It looks as good as new still.
