A bit too Bet Lynch?

Last week I bought a Next blue fleece top which has been ideal in the cold weather, worn indoors as a jumper or outdoors as a jacket. I therefore decided to order the same style in another colour. I chose the rust version, which can only be described as leopard print. At the age of 76 will I look ridiculous? Honest answers please! tchsmile

As we get older , there's no need to dress like Miss Marple unless you want to !

Wear what you like and ignore any derogatory comments !

I'm wearing my leopard , tiger and zebra prints with pride .

Someone made a slightly caustic comment about my
leopard print dress and I said , thank you I've got a coat in the same print .

I'll wear it next time I have a day at the zoo !

I have been looking for a fleece! Is this the one? It doesn't look as loose as yours but seems to be the same. 🤔

Yes, that is the one. I am a 16 and bought a size large which is not at all tight fitting and covers my bottom. I can wear it over normal clothes or as a loose jumper.

Sounds good. I would never have guessed from that picture I posted which looks tight fitting and nothing like the one you posted. Buying clothes online is very tricky.

I agree buying on line can be tricky. Fortunately I bought the blue one in store so was able to try it on.

I love animal print , and wear a fair bit. But rest easy , Bet Lynch would never wear fleece!

If you like it then that is all that matters. I love it.

I got two of those fluffy fleecy jackets from Uniglo. Best buy ever. They keep me so warm I can turn the heating right down!
