1: I recently revealed in a comment, that about 100 pounds ago I owned a pair of black leather shorts, booty shorts would be an accurate description.  What is the most embarrassing item of clothing you have ever worn?

3: What is the oldest item of clothing that you still wear and any special history on it? 

4: Do you follow fashion trends? 

5: What is most important in how you dress? 

My Answers: 

1: I recently revealed in a comment, that about 100 pounds ago I owned a pair of black leather shorts, booty shorts would be an accurate description.  Looking back at it, what is the most embarrassing item of clothing you have ever worn?  Obviously the leather shorts, I did look good in them back then. 

2: What item of clothing from your past would you like to own again (in a size that fits you today)?  I had a Wrangler Denim jacket in the 1970s that fit well and was durable. I have tried to find one like it that fits. 

3: What is the oldest item of clothing that you still wear and any special history on it? I have a navy blue Scottish wool sweater that I bought in London in May of 1990, that I still wear, still looks good. 

4: Do you follow fashion trends? A little, I liked the Barbour diamond quilted vests at Nordstroms, and found the knock off on Amazon, in olive green, it is probably the most fashionable thing I own. 

5: What is most important in how you dress? Comfort above all else.

  1. I can never be called a fashion maven. I have never aspired to be, actually. I like comfort. In winter, I like warmth. I had a long denim coat that fell to my ankles. I felt awesome in that. I also remember some gauze indian shirts that were comfortable and came in many different colors.

  2. 1. A pair of boxer shorts with the already short legs rolled up further.
    2. Tight revealing white jeans, but what would be revealing would be rather different to what was revealing 45 years ago.
    3. Nothing.
    4. A little in so far as I buy what is fashionable at the time, but then I am inclined to wear it too long.
    5. I like to look a little stylish but comfort is important too.

  3. 1: I recently revealed in a comment, that about 100 pounds ago I owned a pair of black leather shorts, booty shorts would be an accurate description. What is the most embarrassing item of clothing you have ever worn? When I was around 9, I put taps on the heels of my black school shoes. I wore them that way once and had to deliver something to another classroom. I walked on my toes!
    2: What item of clothing from your past would you like to own again (in a size that fits you today)? I had a seriously cool patterned corduroy shirt that had been my father’s in the 1940s. It was flattened and faded and I was still wearing it in the early 1970s. People commented on it every time I wore it. Then a friend offered to patch some areas. She somehow lost the shirt. I still miss it.
    3: What is the oldest item of clothing that you still wear and any special history on it? I have two sweaters that my mother made for my father in 1948 and 1949. They’re snug and now fit in a modern tight Spanish style.
    4: Do you follow fashion trends? Not like I used to, but I have my moments.
    5: What is most important in how you dress? Comfort and making me feel good about myself.
