Dressing your age

Do you dress yourself in clothes appropriate to your age?

I went shopping today.. not really for me, but I dragged a friend along. I was a bit sneaky actually.. told her we were going for me but in actual fact I wanted to get her stuff..

She dresses in clothes that even my mumma would think are to old for mum. She's self conscious about her body since she had her baby and dresses in old peoples baggy as clothes that look like they are about 3 sizes too big. They have no shape what so ever. Not flattering at all.

So I took her into glassons and got her to try on some nice clothes, more befitting of her age (21) and that are actually the right size. I took a photo on my phone before and after and even she had to admit that wearing clothes that are right for her age and the right size did make her look smaller than she thought she was!

So yay! I told her I'd burn her clothes if I caught her wearing old people clothes again!

hope you didnt grab her boobs tho...

yeah good on you... i feel like a granny in my clothes most days.

Oh kebakat - that's the nicest thing I've heard all day. What a sweet friend you are

Aww good on ya Stacey.

Sometimes I think I need to dress a wee bit older lol I see young girls in similar clothes.

I'm mostly age appropriate but every now and then I put on a pair of really really short shorts or something a teenager/early20s could wear - generally don't go further than my washing line in them though (I now have cellulite and stretch marks which I didn't have in my teens and early 20s and no one wants to see that!)

Go say you want to do it to me

I think I dress age appropriately. I like classic stuff but also have quite a few "this-seasons" items such as short shorts, dresses/tights etc. I like to be comfe and have a variety of things to wear based on mood. I love clothes ;) I don't do labels like I did as a teenager but like to combine classics (e.g. jeans, black pants etc) with latest season accessories, colours etc.

Hope you and your friend have fun!

there is of course the other way when women in their fifties, insist on wearing clothes MUCH to young for them - it doesn't scream "young" more like "slapper" used to see it all the time at PNS - they bend down to get something abnd have BBC

lol mostly i tend to go for the t-shirt and jeans, constantly, easy to just chuck on around the house and back an forth to work, but going out i dress-up a little, still not skanky, i bravest i go is those short-shorts when it's mega hot outside, and even then, they really aren't THAT short.

A friend of mine is a Personal Wardrobe Stylist. She is one of the most friendly and encouraging ladies I know! She seems to find a way to honestly and sincerely make everyone feel fabulous. Her son is the same age as Elle. Next time we do an Oh! Baby mega meet we should invite her along!
