I'm wearing a shirt that used to be red. After a few washes it has turned to the pinker side of scarlet... I'm secure enough to wear bright pink. / besides almost Saturday
Just had a quick check of what I'm wearing and I've got on a pair of socks with teddy bears wearing red jumpers with snowflakes on, must be old Christmas ones so I am wearing something gaudy
I'm wearing... - Red adidas football socks - Nike Lycra short - Red adidas shorts - Red Lycra top - Last seasons white away shirt ...does this count?
Don't tell me your girls haven't bought you numerous pairs of socks with cartoon characters/Christmas trees that light up/bobbles/ and yes teddy bears on ..... or made you sit having your Christmas dinner wearing glasses with wobbly eyes/reindeer antlers .... can't just be me .... surely ... and I've got lads buying me this
My sister brought me socks back from New Zealand. Red- with sheep having sex with each other all over them. My daughter was in a xmas parade one year... I thought I had to just drop her off- (had those socks on)- turned out, I had to stay with her during the parade... walked through down town with a girl's ballet group wear socks featuring sheep humping each other. / fortunately hadn't worn shorts that day
