I loved the crombie coat I had in the 70s when I was still at school, though being small, it never hung right in me lol, worn with black Oxford bags and oxblood Doctor Marten boots....I probably looked a proper idiot, but at the time I though I was the bees knees lol

Have you still got it Paul? Mine is a blue and white longline cotton jumper from Next,,,,its years old but washes like a dream and soooooooooo comfy,,

Wish I had Claire, one of my daughters would probably want it now lol

nudged, come on, make us laugh, some of you ladies must've worn tartan bottomed flares, sacha shoes etc

My buffallo shoes! Cost me £120 (including postage to Cyprus) and I love them!!! Oh and my Chanels ;-) becx

I remember going out in a calf length kilt with thigh high socks wearing my older sister's purple suspender belt to keep them up!! I was 14 and thought I looked like the DB!! Not my fav outfit though!! :O) That would have been BLACK whatever it was!! :O)

My friend had the full Bay City Rollers outift which I was sooo jealouse of. Now I thank my mum for having the sense to refused my constant begging for one. I did have a t-shirt with their picture on which my mother (she says accidentally) ironed their faces off. My absolute favourite outfit in the early eighties was a bright red shiny flying suit with loads of zips and pockets which I thought looked fantastic. Lorrainex

When I was small my mother made me a Johnston tarten kilt, with a little waistcoat and a white lace trimmed blouse. I felt like the bee's whiskers wearing this outfit. She also kitted me a white angora twinset with mickey mouse, donald duck and pluto on it. I loved that too. Jo.

My dad was made redundant and we had no money. I begged and begged my mum for a pair of trousers I'd seen in a catalogue and she finally gave in. The belting I got from her when I came downstairs with them cropped to the shins and a tartan scarf stitched round the hems has scarred me for life! Daisy

When I was about 7 I had a frock which was white with blue polka dots, blue puff sleeves and a blue bodice which I adored. I was really miffed when I got too big for it and it was given to the girl next door! I also had a lovely floaty dress which my uncle bought me in a Liberty's sale for £8 in 1970-something. I wore it when I "got off" with my first love (aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!) Nowadays I like anything non-iron machine-washable! nell
