It’ll be worth it to see my grandchildren in those flared OshKosh B’gosh dungarees. Although some of the key things will be safely stashed away for her children, who will probably hate them as much as both she and I did. There’s something uniquely pleasurable about seeing the children of relatives and friends wearing the clothes you watched your own child grow up in. They’re good for the soul, hand-me-downs, I’d tell her, and I do believe that. It goes without saying that I forced my daughter to wear all of these extraordinary pieces of history, even when annoying girls in her class wrinkled their noses at her galoshes. Since when has anyone but Jeremy Fisher worn galoshes? There were 1970s Snoopy T-shirts (that by the way now go for a fortune on Etsy) and even a pair of galoshes.
There were tiny nautical dresses, little fit and flair tweed coats with velvet Peter Pan collars and giant moth holes. There were christening gowns, apparently from the Middle Ages or older, Little Lord Fauntleroy nightshirts and plenty of Fair Isle jumpers, all viciously scratchy. I come from a long line of hoarders, and when my mother revealed that, like her mother before her, she’d kept almost all our clothes and shoes from babyhood onwards, I wasn’t appalled – I was delighted. Because I changed my mind about “hand-me-downs”, when I became a mum myself. If I were the company, I’d call that style “the hand-me-down”, make a virtue of the expression that used to come with an inbuilt sneer. Indeed, having been inundated by requests for the discontinued £75 Fair Isle jumper, Lallie London has decided to bring it back – and are already accepting advance orders. Just as I imagine the Princess of Wales will have ignored Prince Louis if he objected to the hand-me-down jumper he was wearing in photographs marking his fifth birthday the weekend before last.Ĭertainly royal copycats had no problem with the concept. And I went home and told my mother straight: “I never want to wear hand-me-downs again.” There was no contest no clever repartee to be delivered.
#Facebook whatsapp down Patch#
I was in flared OshKosh B’gosh cord dungarees with a patch at the knee where my older brother (who had been handed these down from my oldest brother) had flown over the handlebars of his bike and face-planked on the pavement.
Facebook said the problem was caused by a networking issue. Instagram Comms, the app’s PR agency, later said on Twitter that a “bug was causing people in different parts of the world to have issues accessing their accounts and caused a temporary change for some in number of followers”.I can still remember the way the girl in my class looked at me the way she wrinkled her pretty nose and repeated, aghast: “A hand-me-down?” She was in a Laura Ashley dress and matching cardie. Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp came back online Monday after an outage that lasted more than six hours. Similarly, on Monday, people using Instagram faced problems logging into their accounts and accessing the social media application.
