I Could Totes Be A Fashion Blogger

As the bus slung itself around the Green this morning, I saw a middle-aged man standing at the lights. He was wearing sensible black shoes and slouchy grey socks and his tufty grey hair was topped with a jaunty leather cap. He checked something on his phone while he waited for the lights to change, then strode across the road, his bare legs and knobbly knees bristling in the breeze and his hands stuffed into the pockets of his gooch-length cerise pink ladies coat (with bracelet-length sleeves, black buttons and trim).

He looked gorgeous.

I say "bang on trend" a lot. I have yet to be invited to any parties.

"Totes" is totes my favourite word.

Rua, fashionista, with no sense of irony said...

yesterday I saw a 'rocker' whose baggy spud sacks of jeans were so badly torn that he had to wear another pair of slightly less torn jeans underneath.

Totes Ledge.

you three should start a group fashion blog: Colm in his spats, Billy in his sideburns and Rua in nothing but his socks. i see a definite niche in the market.

Rosie said...
