What was the first item of clothing and footwear you actually bought for yourself?
Let's not hear about girls replenishing their knicker stock at primark, nor the guys who bought a pair of socks because they didn't have a clean pair.
Did you, when mum no longer shops for you, treat yourself to a fashion item, or just a pair of jeans, or practical, or workwear, or what?
a Zoot Suit and a pair of Pod shoes! Long live the 80's!!
First real proper item of clothing I brought myself was when I was 9. I had a car washing round going and brought myself a brand new pair of Levis jeans. My parents could not afford them at the time back in 1968, and at £5 a pair they were expensive.
I looked after them better than most things for years afterwards.
I loathe buying clothes and would struggle to remember what I bought last week on the grounds of forgetting traumatic experiences. The only thing I can buy easily is pyjamas which I get at least 2 sizes too big (from maybe 2 shops in town) cos I like them roomy. Other clothes are too small, too see through, too expensive, too small, can't machine wash, don't suit me, did I mention too small?
Even thinking about shopping for clothes raises my stress levels by about 5 points.
Nice pair of staypress trousers and a white fred perry i bought .. love clothes now still .. tell a lot about someone what they dress like and wear .. heard its good shoes, posh watch and no white socks and your in with a chance .. so fickle the ladies arent they lads
