Your biggest fashion mistake

    Just got to thinking of all the mad trends I've followed in my last 28 years of life because of the latest fad ie. the shawl or poncho. I admit I bought one and wore it the weekend :o - won't be wearing it again - even though most people admired it - I felt really silly and uncomfortable.

    Some other cringe fashion fads I've followed:

    Perm - I wanted to look like Nenah Cherry or GLoria Estefan!

    Trousers with skirts attached.

    Banana Combs in my hair.

    Fingerless gloves - well Madonna was my idol.

    I could go on but spare you the horrible details - will finish my worst outfit ever was when I used to go to raves and wore a silver mini skirt and silver runners with chunky white heals :o - looking back I thought I was only gorgeous - glad I have no pics!

    Anyone else???

    A top that was red white blue and grey horizontal strips, and too tight to be good - made me look like a squished up test card...

    A pair of lime-green suede trousers. Well, at least they weren't bell-bottoms!

    I spent several years with short hair- except for the fringe, which I let grow to over a foot in length, and tucked behind my right ear. I had to finally cut it off to get a summer job, and never bothered getting it back. Oddly, as soon as it went, girls started noticing me. I can't imagine why. Sure, I looked extremely scary and, yes, perhaps even psychopatic, but...

    When I was twelve I wore a cotton jacket in the red-chequered lumberjack style for about 6 months.

    I thought I was the dogs.

    I love ponchos ... have been wearing them for years.. cept now they are in fashion so I feel like a clone.... and in a months time I'll look like a fashion reject cause I'll still be wearing them! Damm trends.

    Fashion mistake no 1. multi coloured leggins when I was about 9 or 10 ... thought I was deadly.

    Fashion mistake no 2. big black new rock boots when I was 14 with little summer dresses. Thought I was tank girl.
