Just want to recommend this lady from instagram. I came upon her this week and was delighted with her sartorial ease.
She sounds Welsh and is certainly a “gransnet “ age. Most definitely worth a look.

Isn't she great? Seems like a lot of fun and I like the way she pulls her outfits together, especially the wide-legged trousers much talked about on here!

Yes! Just why I thought I should give her a mention here, she’s very helpful and endearing.

We all need a bit of Viv in our lives! She's great. Be more like Viv!

Is the ‘would be racing driver’ her son? Why is she called ‘the carer’?
She reminds me of a friend of mine!!

The would-be racing-car driver is James Rolling, who lived in the same street as Viv. They became close friends during lockdown and helped each other out - hence the “carer” tag. She’s great fun!

She’s Welsh and a very youthful 80+ (and no makeup or Botox!). And she doesn’t take any nonsense either!

I really enjoyed watching this lovely lady. She’s such a cheerful person and she has impeccable taste in clothes too. I’m Welsh so it was especially nice for me as she sounded like my late and much missed Nana.
Hope to see more of her, thanks for posting it, dogsmother.

I’ll hide behind the sofa after I post, but it is my opinion that what she wears is awful. I think she’s far too short for the palazzo pants and tucked in tops.
I do like her glasses, but that’s about it.

Lively and endearing, but getting a bit “samey”
Perhaps I’m just jealous of some of the lovely designer pieces she “unearths” from her wardrobe while claiming to wear years ago’s Tesco and M&S !

You’re not alone.
Did I miss something? Where is the sartorial elegance 🤷‍♀️

I actually said sartorial ease, as she arguably does manage to put items of clothing together that match and she looks very good in with ease, even coordinating her spectacles.
I could only give her credit for this.

I think that she's huge fun .

It was sartorial EASE Petra, not elegance. Not sure how it applies anyway, but hey, never mind!
I must admit, I enjoyed it when I first saw it, but now I’m not so sure.

I can't watch the videos without joining Instagram. But I can see from the several pictures available that this lady's dress code is not for me. I know someone who dresses similarly. Each to their own of course.
