My friend says that mutton dressed as lamb is one thing but he sees too many he calls, 'carrion dressed as mutton!'
I'm saying nothing.

I'm 73. I still wear skirts above the knee (not short) with thick tights. My legs have always been my best feature. As long as they are covered with tights they look OK.

Who wants to be mutton dressed as mutton?

No short skirts tank tops leather pants did all that when young and slimmer. I have never been one to show cleavage off. I used to love high heels can’t wear any heels now I have to be realistic and dress accordingly. I used to wear loads of eye makeup I don’t now I can’t see what I’m doing it would look hideous now.

I'm 68 ,I still wear tunic dresses ,above the knee with thick tights and boots ,I have a few pairs of faux and real leather trousers which I wear a lot and I have some lowish tops and dresses.
It just depends on your confidence,if you feel you look good in it...wear it .
I always wear high heels .
Age is just a number and we all reach that number by different routes ,my late mother was always very style conscious so I guess thats something I get from her

I really dislike that saying!im interested in hearing others opinions, for instance which items of Clothing would you love to wear but you consider them too young, I’m mid sixties but draw the line at mini skirts, very low tops showing cleavage, but wear faux leather trousers etc,
