What I miss wearing - age related

High heels, short skirts, sleeveless dresses and just wondering if I dare expose my odd feet this summer, although if the weather doesn't change soon I can put that off until next year.

I still go for the hippy look, I can't resist a bit of crushed velvet.
Things I would never wear in public - skirt or dress above the knee, shorts unless on a beach.

I miss wearing sandals as I have to have an orthotic in one shoe and sandals won't hold it in place. I have had to wear ballet flats instead.

A linen shirt dress lol ethics might suit or a linen shirt shirt over a sleeveless midi dress is cool.

“Like this” - excuse typo

I was wondering earlier if I would look silly in jeans with rips in...daughter just tried some on and she looks so cool and trendy but I think I might just look a bit silly.

I’ve got a white and a navy shirt in this style- they are very good.

Nothing - yet

Dora which particular one did you mean? Also I haven’t bought FC before - how do their sizes compare to eg M and S. Thanks

Thanks crystal

I've never had much flesh on my body anyway so there was nothing to sag. Nothing wrong with my arms really only that I'm so nesh that they're permanently covered up in case a breeze blows. I've always been the same for as far back as I can remember.
Even in my younger years I never felt " right " wearing casual clothes ? Abroad, I'd wear a chiffon long-sleeved top/jacket. I remember having a lovely safari suit that went everywhere with me.

I'd like to wear the heels that I had, but that's out of the question now as I'd probably look like Dick Emery from behind, besides, they'd cripple me.

Gonegirl, wish I could run too ( though I don't know why or from what ) or even dash around like I used to do.
I've never owned a pair of jeans.

Last time I wore a bathing costume was 10 years ago when I was 69---only because where I was staying it was a private pool and I was with friends who I knew/know.

I can’t manage very high heels otherwise I wear what I like

Sleeveless dress I too don’t like my flabby arms ☹️ High heels bought some low heeled hotter shoes but miss my stiletto heels

I like the idea of a jump suit but wouldn’t be able to get it off in time to go to the loo even if I was slim enough to wear one!!

Most of us have mentioned sleeveless tops and I agree with that. Also strappy or strapless evening dresses.

Atqui I bought this last year from Marks. I wear it with red shoes to match the stripe - it’s very comfy but I plan my loo visits carefully

Agree with you all about upper arms, and the shortage of short sleeved dresses

This year I have bought a couple of very fine wool ponchos, they work quite well

? heels. Size 10, 12 or 14 clothes !!!!

SisterAct

Oh yes , all of those!

suziewoozie I am a 14 and I bought the large. They are very voluminous. I bought the Rhodes poplin relaxed fit.

Mini skirts!

I saw a fabulous trapeze style mini dress in monsoon. I would have looked great in it at 20 but at 72 - No.

It just made me remember how great it was to be young and slim.

The funny thing is that when I was a teenager I wore Wrangler jeans and t shirts. Now I am 60 plus and I'm wearing...... Wrangler jeans and a t-shirt! I'm still the same!

Dora thank you

I was never slim when I was younger, although I was slimmer than I am now. I don't miss high heels, was glad to wear flatties and never went back after my first pregnancy.

I never had the figure for a bikini and have never owned one.

I don't miss sleeveless blouses, shorts or short skirts.

Wish I could still wear mascara to some decent effect, though. My eyelashes are very sparse.

Strappy tops, stilettos and mini skirts - usually all at the same time!
