Oh no, you don't have to have 'stick insect legs' to wear a pair of red breeches, or any other bright colour. Embrace what you have - I don't think stick insect legs look so great anyway- so go on OC - just wear your brave pants underneath! :)

Lizziebell....just go for it, they sound great and anything to brighten up these dull days is all good :D
 
I bought a pair of those waterproof breeches in pink, I thought they were nice, I had had pink jeans before. My OH reacted with complete horror and insisted I send them back and swop for a different colour. I looked, apparently, like a ............
you can fill in the spaces! I was quite sad.
