Enough about bloody snow.
Fashion thread!

I think this year I will be wearing mostly slim leg jeans. I have the leg length to suit them and I'm too old for skinnies. Boot cut are sooooo last year.

Where in the pool of fashion will you be dipping your toe this year?

So I don't get to wander around in a labcoat.

Urban elf yo lady!
Well those jeans are pretty mainstream for me, and I enjoy them a lot, but I dress more unfashinable normally. I like polka dots and gingham and tight cardigans. I prefer to either dress like a waitress in a diner, or a boy from the 70s. Depending on my mood.

I've learnt to make machine cord

Made 4 metres of it out of plastic bags last night, but I suspect that won't be a fashion movement this decade

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 6 Jan 2010, 11:41, Reply)

cord made from strips of (normally) material
twist them together and zigzag sew along it. Might post a pic in a bit
