So I am back from my weekend with the Family. And I can't think of anything to say. I'm still pondering over the greeting from one of my fashion-conscious nieces.
"Are those skinny jeans, Aunt Ellie?"
"NO!" They are bootleg jeans that are just, erm, a little on the tight side".
*Puts down second slice of mother's fruitcake and ponders dismal dieting future before next family gathering*

Pro Take no notice... I bet you looked fab! 
Thanks, Usky. I'd like to think so - at least I did'nt turn up for cricket in a muddy field wearing white trousers or a white (it has to be Bench) top!
Usksider
Pro Someone didn't stay white for long then... 
Nope - one muddy mark from a tennis ball and two muddy footprints from dog chasing ball. She said "Oh well!"
Money grows on trees, you see.
Usksider
Pro Hmmm.... alright for some then.

I'm still smarting from being informed that at my age, statistically, I've more chance of attracting terrorists than a husband. Bloody teenagers!
Oh dear. And I bet they used that oh-so-dismissive term 'adult', as if anyone over 18 was an alien species.
The worry is, the offending nieces are just 10 and 11 - I haven't even experienced the scathing teens yet!

Sorry but I can't help smiling!

Don't know how old the kids were, but one thing is for sure, they've been visiting M & S or Dot Perkins, a bit too often.
They are 10 and 11, going on 30. They live for shopping. Or mobile phones. Or High School Musical, whatever that is!
menhir
Can't help you with school musical; let's just hope it's constructive and not fashionably mobile. 
I am not going to bother to find out - it will be out of fashion before I ever get to grips with it!
menhir
More than likely.
In a café just now having a break from hospitals and sad events.
Loads of fashions of all sorts (meaning hair, clothes, skin, you name it) to be seen and is sooo interesting.

Pro At times like that, aren't you just tempted to turn them into frogs - just for a little while?

I've got some jeans just like that - we must be in fashion!

I have a pair of skinny jeans and I sincerely hope the "skinny" part does not describe the only women that are allowed to wear it. If you know what I mean *ahem*
I had a woman at work look at me in the above pair of jeans and say "you can see just anybody wear skinny jeans today, can't you?" And I did not cry, howl or run away. I said: "yes, they are very fashionable." I am proud of myself for being the bigger person - and I am not speaking of weight here.
Too right - she was just jealous. As I am! I'm not big but I don't think I could face the struggle getting into a pair of skinny jeans!

Do not be jealous! I am most probably bigger than you. To get into a pair of skinny jeans, all you need is confidence and high heels (that will make any pair of legs appear longer and leaner).
I cannot over-emphasize the importance of confidence, though!
Awwww....the innocence of children...the lil darlins' !!

Skinny jeans? Do you mean slim ones? I am sure you looked very good in them and the niece was only jealous!
