Has anyone else noticed how many very smart ladies of 60+ there seem to be recently? I see so many when I'm out shopping, wearing trousers, jeans or leggings with beautiful, colourful tunics. Others are wearing maxi dresses in marvellous patterned fabrics. The tight "Granny" perm seems to be on the way out and is replaced by a smart cut. And of course lots of lovely scarves and jewellery.

What I cannot stand is other women who look you up and down with a slight look of contempt on their faces.
You know the sort I mean grin

Should that be on the judgemental thread?

Have you been watching my daughter Jalima ? Although she always follows the look with "Is that how you're going out?" grin

Whatever I wear, I always buy clothes I feel comfortable in but whether smart, every-day or slobbing, I always buy something that is comfortable and looks nice and suits me. For me being comfortable in my clothes is physical and mental.Even my gardening fleece is in a colour that suits me and goes well with elderly jeans!

If you are spending your hard-earned money (and pensions are hard-earned money deferred) why waste it on something unflattering, even from a charity shop. I bought two beautiful skirts and a fake fur coat in a local charity shop last year and I feel really good in all three.

That's OK Deedaa, that's what daughters do grin

No, I mean women you don't know but are just standing near, eying you up and down, or women you have just met who regard you as an inferior being.

Oh dear I think that's me Jalima I spend a lot of time wondering whether people actually have mirrors in their homes.
