Remember fashions from your childhood?

I had some awful black and white check trousers when I was about 9/10, they were my favourite trousers in the world They were my 'chef' trousers (I was adament I was going to be a chef for about a year) and even wore them on TV on 'Can't Cook, Won't Cook when I was 10....

.........oh the shame

 

Oh God, I had some awful clothes as a kid, my mother should have been shot. I'll post a picture of an all in one flared number i had when I can get it off my Mum.
I also had a matching skirt & top, white with different coloured squares all over it, I luuuuuuuuuuuurved that outfit!!!!

I'll have to dig out a picture I have of me and my brother (bearing in mind it was the mid seventies!)

I'm wearing a blue torquoise madras checked dress with enormous bright white round collars!! My brother is wearing a bright green paisley patterned shirt, and when you look really hard, you realise he is also wearing a matching tie!!!

 

I must be the only person that looks back fondly at my old clothes! I own a vintage clothes business and have pictures as a kid in my flared jeans, faux fur coats and sunglasses and I still dress similar nowadays! Then again there are questionable pics of me and my bro (he's only 11 months and 16 days older than me) in matching outfits, tartan being one that's particularly cringey!

My mum used to make mum and daughter matching party frocks for us - I remember a bright red nylon one with lovely tartan trim It was bad enough me wearing them, but my mum
