This week’s challenge at The Gallery is an Embarrassing Outfit.
Hmmm. I don’t generally do “outfits”. They’re not my style. Besides men in skirts tend not to be understood, unless one comes from the heathen lands north of Hadrian’s Wall. Despite being a southerner, there is a tradition, which I’ve never proven, of some Scots ancestry and I did have a kilt when I was young. But I can’t find a photo of me then; even my mother doesn’t appear to have one. That surprises me, but it’s probably just as well.
The best I can do for an embarrassing outfit is me leading off the East Hertfordshire Scouts’ St George’s Day Parade at Turnford in 1964.
Yep that’s me, aged 13, at the front in the poncy white gloves — God they were uncomfortable: thick, stiff leather and whitened to death. And just look at those awful shorts! I led that parade for two or three years; this was probably the first occasion.
I dare you all to show me your embarrassing outfits.
Those socks definitely fit in the 'embarrassing' category. Nice…..Here's mine. Feel free to laugh at my expense.
I think you look rather smart. *sniggers*Herding Catshttp://seathreepeeo.blogspot.com
I love it, but it isn't me in the photo!! Funny how we see ourselves
hmmmm boys in shorts and long socks is never a good look!
Not too embarrassing and actually you should be quite proud! Love the shorts! he he
Ah Keith would you look at that! Very smart I say 🙂
I think your face says it all, you knew this would come back to haunt you. Great photo though. x
