Wow , I saw a lady today.....

What are your good bits.
um, um, um

What I need to do is to throw out all my clothes and start again - if I could find anything.
Where are all these stylish clothes?
I was helpless with laughter looking at some of the stuff in a well-known High Street store last week (along with a friend, so it wasn't just me).

What are your good bits

I just washed and blow dried my hair, it doesn't look too bad

Lemongrove!! Have you seen some the stylish women out there with ‘long grey hair’....not afraid to look their age and enjoy it....my hero
Getmaine Greer springs to mind! It’s all in the ‘cut’,.. pay s good price from a great hairdresser and job done. No dyes ..no tints...no faffing about !!

You can bet that the stylish lady had spent a lot of money on those clothes

I wouldn’t bet that at all, grannie62

My current favourite coat cost £40 last year from Tesco. I think it looks good, anyway.
It’s not what you spend on individual items that matters, but how you put them together, and as others have said, having confidence in yourself makes all the difference.

No, not me Mawbroon - I wish it was! You definitely wouldn’t mistake me for Melania I’m quite a bit chunkier!

I saw a woman about my age (late 60s) with gorgeous, sharply-cut short hair dyed several different shades of purple/plum. She looked fantastic
I mentioned it to DGD (6) saying that I quite fancied having my hair dyed a similar colour -- she looked absolutely horrified and informed me that Grandmas didn't have purple hair..!!!
Now I'm even more tempted... Mwahaha...

I do like a good scarf! Does wonders for the turkey neck but also a chance to introduce another colour.

well...…...having been reduced from smart to living in oversize clothing, unable to wash properly or wash my hair all because of a fractured shoulder and getting thoroughly depressed I asked the health visitor what have I been reduced to......she replied "a human being". That didn't help folks - women like to look good - it's nature and why the hell not!

I change between electric blue and purple for my grey fringe.
As I recall when I was a child grandmother s mainly had blue or purple rinses didn’t they.
As for clothes I am hopeless ? but day to day it doesn’t really matter so long as you hold your head high.

Confidence....just a little bit...is all that is needed. I keep an old baggy shirt I used to 'hide' in to remind me never to dress like that again

MB love that scarf and the beads! I love scarves

Bijou, I don't need to 'check my backside in a mirror' as I know where it is and what it looks like.

right hippie, you are now " a project". We must rescue you from this slump.

Hang on, oldbatty and trisher some of us love beige as you can tell from my user name!
I'm a size 18/20 and only 5'1" - I think it's the style though not just colour. Longish garments can flow nicely and give a slimmer silhouette which can make you feel more confident.
I'm letting my hair go grey and have a pixie cut, a bit like Judi Dench, not quite as elegant but I try.

Is anyone else at goal at WW and size 18? In fact I am more a size 18/20 rather than 16/18

how humble?

I like the outfits on this Pinterest page.

Nice scarf / necklace Maw. I love scarves and jewellery - they always fit

That was me oldbatty...after a few sherberts.

That doesn't quite add up with Madge from Liverpool or Gloria and the snorting horses in York or who ever you are today. Oh gosh I forgot the strumming guitars in those far off places.

M&S have a great range of skirts and trousers in now. I had to get out quickly bit not before buying the check pencil skirt (as worn by HW) and 2 bags of food and gifts with 50% off.

*but not bit...

Hmm, unlike Madge and Gloria (and what old fashioned names they are too) I've never heard or seen strumming guitars in places outside the UK, although I am originally from the great City OB mentions

HW ?

That was priceless
Creme Puff indeed.
Robert Maxwell would never go out anywhere unless he had his Rimmel powder puff in an inside pocket, even sending a bodyguard up to his hotel room to retrieve it on one occasion.
