Now this isn't a fashion blog (far from it), but I need to comment on fashion (lack thereof) right now. Today at SheBu on the Central Line waiting for a tube home and a rather handsome guys walks past. So far so good, right? So anyway, me being shy I drop my gaze...that's when I saw his (f)Uggs. So I look up again...a short of stunned double-take and OMG why oh why was he ALSO wearing a pair of RED LEGGINGS? I mean WHY?
So as I'm trying to get that through my poor head, another guy (not so handsome this one) walks past wearing a WOMAN'S blue, fitted, military style winter coat. 2 sizes too small.
Only in London I tell you. Only in London.

You See The Strangest Things in London Pts 1 & 2
Ok, so I've been slacking a bit ... spending all my time working on assignments and the like, so this is a double-post.
Part 1: About 3 weeks ago I saw a man wearing jeggings in Bond Street tube. In case you think thing that maybe I saw an androgenous woman wearing jeggings in Bond Street tube, I'd like to point out that unless women now have a lumpy package down the front, I'm pretty sure it was a man. For those of you who aren't sure what jeggings are, here's a photo (courtesy of fashionchronicles.com and totally without their permission):
They're a jeans/leggings cross designed for the slender lady. Emphasis on lady. I feel shy to take photos of fashion freaks but London is full of them so I really should start.
Part 2: Two days ago I saw a hefty lad (approx. 8 years old) wearing a pair of (f)ugg boots. Now, I'm not one to knock kids for anything but boys in Uggs? Girls in Uggs are bad enough, but little boys too? On the same topic, in July I saw an old man (70+) in uggs on the bus (forgivable as he's old and obviously needs warm comfy shoes), two youngs boys in matching shorts, check shirts and dark brown uggs (aged appx 4 yrs and 6 yrs) and a questionably 'trendy' adult male in Uggs last year.
You know what, I'm all for men in uggs...it might stop women from wearing them.
Oh and an Aussie friend told me that in Oz Uggs were actually bedroom slippers, but have evolved into something else in the UK. Which explains why I saw an Aussie guy on the Central Line in the summer wearing grandad slippers:
I need to start taking photos.
