    Clothes

    Something else I just thought of - what exactly IS "western attire"? Suits? Dresses? Baggy jeans? Sweatpants? T-shirts?

    Which led me to the next thought, which I figure could be a good topic for endless, meaningless discussion - what does everybody like to wear? (If you say "nothing", you get a foil-whipping)

    Western dress is generally considered to be clothing that is worn in the western part of the world. ie Europe and the Americas as opposed to that being customarily worn in such places as the middle east.

    Oh, will you QUIT making so much sense? <img src="graemlins/kane2.gif" border="0" alt="[Camo]" />

    Kidding, in case you couldn't feel the sarcasm.

    So...on to the second question?

    Dame - Behave!!!

    I'm a jeans and T-shirt or Sweatshirt kind of gal - I worked in an office environment for a few years and one of the main reasons I quit was the skirt/blouse/suit dress code - My current job (customer service) allows for jeans and a polo shirt.

    As for pantyhose I've worn them once in the past 3 years -

    The last time I wore panty hose ( on my head) the poor "shop-and-rob) clerk didn't think it was a funny as I did......

    I wish I could think of something witty to write here.

    havent owned a dress/skirt since about the age of 8! Will have to get one soon though as people are wanting me to go to posh dinners and balls and stuff. Definitly not a fan of dresses though! Wouldnt be so bad if I could wear my work boots with them!

    Oh, come on girls. I love to dress up. But I usually go for long dresses or skirts with slits. And gotta have heels. I'm not short, but a few extra inches makes me feel good. Lately my favorite colours have been black and red. My favorite outfit is the one I wear before and after tournies. Black pants, blouse, boots. Gets me in the mood to fence. Hubby calls it my "bad girl" outfit. haha Yeah, I feel pretty bad when I wear it.
