NOT a fashion statement !

I don't have any daughters, 4 boys. I tell my dils... please tell me if I get to an embarrassing stage cos I may need someone to keep me right

One step son says I'm glam granny... I responded that I hoped that wasn't a euphanism for... time she stopped wearing the low cut tops..... I was just kidding (sort of). Honestly, I've raised the neck line a bit in recent years and often use a scarf. Can't abide anything round necked. And my bestest ever friend would soon set me straight !!

My daughters took me in hand a few years ago to set me straight!

REminds me of the time when I used to run a Pre-School in a very battered old hall with all the equipment kept in a deep dusty cupboard...we had to wrestle it out everyday. My footwear of choice was mauve DMs....and yet everything else was so Lady Di.....all pie crust shirts and denim skirts. Mind you they saved many a stubbed toe.

I'm not the 'beige granny' that Billy Connolly talks of, I like colour.
Nobody has ever been surprised at what I'm wearing though.

It took a while for the family to get used to my bright multi coloured mac / coat but now they like it because they can always find me in a crowd - such as in a protest group that was televised a couple of years ago!

I haven't revealed my trapper hat yet. It makes me look like a High Court judge.

Only my red Dockers. DD says I look like a lesbian social worker.

No offence to any LSW's out there, I'm sure you all look lovely.

About ten years ago I came down the stairs in jeans and long boots, and DD said 'Mother!!! Even I wouldn't wear my jeans that tight!'

So now I am a well-behaved Mummy when it comes to jeans and low-cut tops. She made me realise it was time I grew up - sartorially, anyway.

I don't think I possess anything that would shock anyone

I was in my fifties when I went to horticultural college. We'd been out in the cold planning a tree planting scheme for our local EMMAUS so I was wearing appropriate clothing. Afterwards I picked up DS to give him a lift into town and do a Tesco shop. He was horrified that he'd be walking round a supermarket with his mother wearing what he described as 'student grunge.'

I love your choice of lilac coloured nails NanKate I bought blue nail varnish yesterday and going to do them to-morrow with DGD,and my DSs arriving when wearing my onesie and saying "see you are having a chav day mum" "I don't care I have no where to go and am warm and comfy thank you very much" says me.

Totally unadventurous I'm afraid..... You're more imaginative than me NanKate, sounds lovely!
