Well I wasn’t bothered before I had MS! Used to rock a bumbag [US translation fanny-pack] much to my young sons chagrin. He was in for a shock when my niece who was aiming to carve out a career in the fashion industry [she now works for Chloe in Paris] came to live with us whilst studying in London. She proclaimed that bumbags & load yellow tops were now the fashion – they’d been mine for years! I still work in a showbiz environment once a week and my uniform of jeans and sharp shirts has had to give way to T-shirts and track suit bottoms. Can’t deal with buttons and anything requiring too much standing to put on. Still, have always liked combat trousers & they can both look good and be comfortable.
