Worst Christmas Gift Ever....

1982

   I see teenage girls in this village wearing them all the time.  But I definitely haven't worn any since 1982!

Wonder how much 1982 charges for delivery.

Don't you all know, they are back "in" style!  I shuddered when I saw a pair in H&M. (Though today they would have been nice, it's freezing out)

Sad, but true.  Why on Earth would someone bring back a trend that was lame the first time around??

I'm thinking that about almost all the 80's inspired trends making a comeback recently. I'm thinking of organizing a hunting party on Katie Holmes for trying to bring back pegged jeans. Who's with me?

Have you seen her recent photos?  Stirrup tights under denim shorts!!

NO!!!!!!   

Ok... no shame in my game, but I own and wear leg warmers. I wear them under my boots like thick socks because I hate that gape between my boots and legs. I own 1 black pair, 1 brown pair and a grey pair and I am proud.

But you've found a function for them!  That I can admire.  It's the fashion lemmings that I have an issue with.

I know, but the name clearly gives away the function, right? To warm your poor cold legs. Stick a pair under your wellies and you will be converted, I swear!

I've seen so many young teenage girls walking around the shops with bright pink leg-warmers on... it's crazy! At first I forgave them because I thought it might be a Breast Cancer Care fund-raising thing or something (because every girl was wearing pink ones and we were wearing pink T-shirts to work to raise money), but then I realised they were actually trying to be fashionable !!

I'll admit that I did used to own both black and turquoise leg-warmers when I was a teenager (mid-to-late 90's), but I had an excuse: I was a ballet dancer and only wore them to class  !!

I can't get wellies to fit over my gargantuan calves even without leg warmers!

I've got "Wellie Warmers", fleecy socks that fold over the tops of my boots.
