Hi there
When I was a young teen, every female seemed to be wearing a cardigan. Except me. To me, cardigans denoted growing up. Growing old. Getting older. I vowed never to wear a twinset and pearls which was all the rage for our mums. A twinset was a matching sweater and cardigan. And people used to think it was the height of fashion to add those pearls. Whaaaat...!

But the years have gone by and ...guess what? I'm wearing cardigans! Never with done-up buttons and never-never with pearls.
But I'll tell you something that has begun to intrigue me: often when I watch a home renovation show, or a gardening show, or a posh-people-holdaying-in-the-Hamptons show, the women love to wear cardigans tied around their hips. The funny thing is that these women are never seen actually wearing the cardigans.
Is cardigan hip-wearing a fad? Never worn, but always seen? "Oh, don't I look great?" think the bored-stressed-angry-vindictive-jealous housewives of such-and-such city. "I'll just tie my cardy around my hips and the peasants will throw hosannas and confetti at my feet. I'm so fashion-forward."
Am I the only person in the world who realises that the moment a cardy is tied around the hips, the wearer suddenly has a big bottom. The only time I decided to follow the trend and tie my cardy across my backside, I peered over my shoulder into the mirror, and was horrified.
I had the biggest bottom...
