New Confidence

I love fashion, and was very flattered recently when my son-in-law said he couldn't understand why his mother (who is about 10 years younger than me) couldn't dress more stylishly 'like you do'.

I wear what I'm comfy in mainly, but love bright colours and still wear jeans and don't care what people think.
I don't have a lot of time for being fashionable; I live in the countryside and it's more about keeping dry and being warm.
But I do have some pretty tops etc for when I go out to lunch.

No- always been up for whatever was in fashion at the time!!

think.

What does it matter what other people, wear what you want, when you want and as often as you want to.
As long as you are happy that's the main concern. ?

Altho I loathe the “mutton dressed as lamb” look, I do like to shake my wardrobe up now and again, and get out of the comfort zone. I often get asked where I buy certain clothes, so that makes me feel good !

Love Rieker from their boots to their trainers to their sandals! I walk great in them they are so comfortable. I've been know to trip before I discovered them. The only make for me now!

My style hasn’t really changed - I wear quite high heels and wedges when going out. The only thing I’ve relented in slightly is I wear lower heels when I’m walking a long way - eg day of shopping pre-Covid. I expect one day I’ll sprain my ankle or worse, but until then.....? Skirts, dresses, shorts are knee length or longer now but I love ‘off the shoulder‘ tops and dresses on a sunny day....with a high wedge of course ??Anything sparkly is great too! We’re a long time in that box so make the most of today ?

Pink highlights in hair, bright colourful sneakers if I like it I wear it,

no! LOL

Not sure about bolder, I've certainly got balder as the years go by!

A year ago I came across Lotus Relife trainers/shoes in a small out of the way ladies wear shop. Their design was innovative without being garish. I have to say they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I went back and got a dark pair for winter. This year I hunted down a local stockist and have just bought another two pairs, one light with some silver and the other dark with an animal print.
They are also on line.

I bought myself a pair of what I thought were cutting edge trainers a few years ago from eBay. When one of my daughters saw them she asked what they were for, hanging out with my homies?

She was right. They went straight to the charity shop.

I often see clothes that I like the look of, but then imagine them on my short chunky frame and know that I would look ridiculous!
soop showed some new Rieker shoes which I fancy, but I will check the price and width before deciding.

I bought a pair of diamante encrusted Skechers with thick soles. However, I was a bit embarrassed to wear them and gave them to DD1 in the end.
