Not a good look!

We were ready to go out to church a few weeks ago when I realised DH and I were wearing almost identical clothes. Needless to say, I made him go and change!

coppernob I have the Cloth Kitty I made for my DDs . The DGC have played with her too!

I thought of Howard and Hilda yesterday evening in the pub. A 'mature'couple arrived to meet friends at the next table..they were wearing beige trousers and plain rust coloured tops..different styles admittedly ...but it did look as though they had planned the outfits!

Howard and Hilda...what most of us never hope to aspire to, but nonetheless they do still raise a smile of two !

Like your comment. Laughter is the Best Medicine. Is it about Look, or Comfort? Seems Comfort is important.

I remember I didn't know you cared! "I heard that, pardon!" was a catchphrase in my family for years. (Actually since my hearing has got worse DH says it to me a lot)

DD and I have got the same pair of trousers but we do try not to wear them at the same time.

I remember Clothkits. As well as making various Clothkits clothes for my daughter when she was little, my mum also made her a Clothkits doll called Kitty. My granddaughters now love playing with her. Unfortunately Mum is no longer alive to see how much all her stitching is still being enjoyed.

still have our sheepskin jackets bought 40 years ago. Wrapped in polythene and in a cupboard awaiting the time when " I'm sure we will wear them again someday" comes!

My mum and dad both bought sheepskin jackets many years ago. Think they may still have them! It amused my sister and I hugely and we always called them Mr and Mrs Sheepskin. And walked 20 paces behind them .

I'm just back from visiting my son in America and seemingly, Mother & Daughter matching outfits is having a moment in their shops. My own dds were horrified when I told them.

I remember Clothkits, I made some lovely outfits for my girls. I also had a ready-made knitted top and skirt for myself which I wore and wore and wore. Today's Boden and Seasalt reminds me of the Clothkits style.

I love wearing my tops in various shades of purple/lilac as a I wear lots of Amethyst jewellry. Sometimes my hubby wears a top thats got purple stripes and we still go out
dressed that way.

What's wrong with wearing blue denim? Blue jeans are very handy for knocking around in at home or even a quick trip to the Co op. We are all different.

Indigo/dark blue denim or black jeans for me. Black or navy leggings around the house. Don't do bottoms in beige, white or any light colours.

I'm surprised at the number of gransnetters who wear jeans. Are we talking about blue denim?
I wear skinnys and canvas straight legs, leggings with tunic tops but not blue denim. And I don't like beige?

Not long married we used to wear matching white polo neck jumpers! I thought we looked lovely together!!

And yes grandMattie I remember Clothkits. Made lots of them for my eldest two children. Wonderful idea.

I once bought from Clothkits [anyone remember them?] matching dresses for my 6 year-old DD and me. DM was there when they arrived. I commented that the colours would suit her. "Thank you darling" and I never saw my dress again! . I have to say that grandmother and DGD looked charming together.

I don't have that problem my husband wears beige and white all the time. Oh! I have a white top on just as well I have blue jeans on?

I remember 'I didn't know you cared'; didn't the old man say 'I heard that - pardon?'That one has stuck in my mind!Also loved EDC, and the poignant situation between Paul and Anne - so well suited, but she would never leave Martin who loved her to distraction. Aaah!

I love Ever Decreasing Circles. I have the box set. We laugh at Hiward and Hilda but they were perfectly happy. Even down to planning their Ruby wedding then going into care "on the Wednesday"

This happens to DH and I too. Usually we're already in the car to go out and I say we're dressed the same again. We seem to think alike most of the time. When he's asleep I want him to turn over, and I say it in my mind. Usually he turns over!

Sometimes DH and I get dressed at different times without seeing what the other is wearing. When we finally see our outfits we are very often wearing the same colour. We both exclaim ' Howard and Hilda' and then one of us goes and gets changed. (usually him!!)

Oh thank you for reminding me of Ever Decreasing Circles. Richard Briers character was my dad to a tee. The whistling, the vague good hearted character - he could have been Dad. Drove Mum mad as he spent all his time doing 'little jobs' for neighbours while things needed doing in our house.He was a totally lovely man. I wonder if you can get it on play again?

Standing tale in our house is the fact that I bought Berty Bassett material for daughters bedroom when she was about 3 and recovered her headboard in it, made curtains, did a lamp shade and had enough material left to make her a dress!

I once made dresses for me and my 2 toddler daughters and a tie for DH out of a bargain length of fabric, and we wore them at the same time. What was I thinking?

Remember Howard & Hilda's matching jumpers? (A look to be avoided?) The other day I saw a mum and small daughter (in the street) who were wearing matching striped dresses - I felt this looked bit odd.... Is it me?
