The fashion for light weight patterned trousers was tempting, but I knew I would look like I had forgotten to change out of my pyjamas. It's strange how you can wash and wear an item of clothing for years and yet another becomes unwearable very quickly for one reason or another. I think I have developed a style I'm happy with and stick to. Boring, but it works. You have my sympathy.Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15938216505505274248noreply@blogger.com
