Your daughters opinion of your dress sense

Just having a giggle reading this Mumsnet thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/a1587678-what-will-you-NEVER-wear-because-it-will-make-you-your-mum

I haven't got daughters but dread to think what they'd say about me. However, the good thing about being older and a bit invisible is, you don't actually care that much!

My sons tell me that I have good dress sense. Their opinion matters, but I wouldn't change my sense of style to please anyone other than myself. smile

My DDs are certainly not backward in coming forward in telling me if they are not keen on what I am wearing! But on the other hand, they are really complimentary when I get it right so it's swings and roundabouts.

Now... just off to go and read the Mumsnet thread!

I usually shop with my daughter and normally we agree, in fact she talks me into things I'd probably not buy on my own - and she's usually right smile

I noticed that one of the Mums was complaining about her mother having her hair cut too short. My daughter always says mine looks better if I let it grow a bit, but I can't be doing with it. It looks nice for a couple of days and then starts to lose its shape. At least if I have it really short I have a couple of weeks with it looking reasonable.

I have just asked my daughter and she confirms she doesn't give a toss what I wear, but she would find see-through, cleavage, or short skirts embarrassing. Since I live in black trousers and white teeshirts and trainers, whe is quite happy.

I think short skirts and cleavage would probably get me locked up grin
