My darling Mum died seven years ago (mid 80’s) she was wearing jeans, leggings, maxi dresses etc right up till she went into the hospice. She loved fashion, and always looked good.

Odd response Susie

I genuinely don’t think my Mum would have anything much to say about what I wear.
She died in 92, when we were all ‘doing a Diana’ - jeans, a white shirt and navy blazer, often with those Bally slip-on shoes in navy and white. We’d exchange that look for a short sleeved shift dress, tights, heels and a colourful blazer for a night out.

My go to ensemble atm is weird fish tunics and leggings- l look after my Grandchubbas so it’s easy to move /wear
For going out out l like Roman pleated skirts and Bardot tops
I get really stuck on shoes - l would love some low wedge espadrilles but can’t find any 😂

Yes, she might disapprove of your attire…….

I was looking at pictures of my mum at my age 67 and I must admit I wouldn’t be seen dead with what she was wearing, but then she would disapprove of my attire. Today I am wearing velvet jeans, stripy t shirt with a cardigan. When out I wear ankle boots and carry a velvet bag. I rarely wear dresses, but recently I bought a really nice denim one, which would have shocked her!

What do others wear, compared to women 30/40 years ago?
