Clowns to the left of me, Crimplene to the right

This week's Gallery is Embarrassing Outfits.

I wore this when I turned 21. I loved it.  It was culottes - remember them?  It made me look short and hippy (in the wide hip sense of the word). I consider this to be one of my worst fashion statements.

Although the collars on this crimplene number came in a close second.
