I used to love wearing mini-skirts and I can remember a gorgeous black silk dress with vaguely Russian embroidery at the neck and hem - I felt really sophisticated (probably didn't look it, though). I loved the Dr Zhivago look.

I even had some black cord hotpants which my boyfriend (now OH) bought for my 19th birthday. I worked in a hotel as a receptionist at the time and was showing them off to my colleagues, when I was told off by the boss, who said "this is a hotel, not a fashion parade"! Wish I still had the legs to wear them now!

My D, who is 30, is always telling me off because I didn't keep all my 60's/70's clothes!!
