Things you think can make you look older than your years!

I'm not so sure about the smile.
I remember Anne Robinson saying to one contestant (the smiley sort)

"Oh, you're one of those nauseating "I'll try anything once" types, aren't you?"

Looking like Anne Robinson is an absolute NO!
Trying to look young and ending up looking like The Bride of Wildensten.

Or anyone as rude as her.

Vile woman.

Long skirts / midi dresses with flat shoes / white trainers is a trendy look

I'd just look frumpy.

How about stylish, colourful scarves, just to put the cat among the pigeons?

Do you think colourful scarves are great fun or a no-no?

I am in the middle of decluttering at this very moment.

After reading this thread, I may be getting rid more than planned. .

However, I am not ditching the scarves!

And there was me thinking of attending a Gransnet meet up?
Maybe not, after all?

I have to comment on colours...
"Old Lady Pink" is out
So is "old lady blue and old lady mauve/lilac" in my opinion.

I think whatever anyone wants to wear is fine, Kathy72.
I'm no style icon, so I couldn't say.

I know someone who was on whatever quiz show Anne Robinson hosted, and they said she was really warm and friendly.
All that mean stuff was just an act.

They should know; they scored the lowest ever score.

I love pink.
It'll never be out for me, even though I'm wearing "pile of porridge" grey today.

You would be fine and very welcome at the Glesca Grannies meet, Ixion. We are only there for a blether, it doesn't matter what you wear.

Or a gaily coloured scarf and a big smile.

None of it matters, really.
It's just the wrapping paper.
The main gift is what's inside.

What are ‘old lady’ pink and blue? I’m worried now.?

I have no idea.
Should I be worried, too?

You can't go wrong in a nice pleated skirt like this, ixion

Could that jumper be old lady blue? I think we need a definition of these colours.

Oh and matching wellies too. That is stylish! ?

We need a colour chart.
1. Pile of porridge grey.
2. Old lady blue.
3. Gaily coloured scarf orange.
4. Sod this, I don't care beige.

Going to the pub wearing a twinset and pearls then ordering a port and lemon

Corset salmon pink.
When I was 15, I worked in the lingerie dept of the local Co-op.
My heart sank, when old ladies appeared to buy corsets. I was scarred for life at some of the sights, especially as many had never heard of deoderant. Oh and don't mention the pink bloomers!
I have hated that colour to this day.

No, it's not.

Old lady pink, blues, mauve etc tend to be pale and a bit wishy washy I think.

Also for the colour chart;

Worn down Brown
Misery Mauve
PeptoBismol Pink

Corset salmon pink

Oh yes, Germolene pink
