Women's legs & showing too much flesh

Yes, some people need to look in a mirror.

I do often because I am just so overcome with awe at how perfect I am!
?‍♀️

A friend’s husband used to be very vocal about other people’s appearances. One day his normally quiet wife snapped that he was no oil painting himself. True, but it seemed to come as a big surprise to him
I did wonder that myself about the OP.....

My mum always kindly reminded us we were no oil paintings, and I believe it has been a good thing to remember.

Oh dear I seem to have caused a great deal of offense with this post which was not my intention. I was not judging the lady in the cafe, just using her as an example of how older women don't seem to mind wearing very little and exposing their body parts. I can assure you all the lady did not hear us talking and I would never make unkind remarks or upset anyone over their choice of dress. My DH's remark was a joke and not to be taken seriously. He would not upset anyone either. Sometimes I think when something is written rather than said the humour is lost. I notice that some people criticised me by saying that I judged this lady unfairly. I did not, it was her choice of attire I referred to not her. However, some of you were very quick to judge me just for having an opinion. Thanks to the people that agreed with me. And for the people who still have great legs you are so lucky!

We can all have great legs and be a perfect 11 when we're online

In my opinion there are plenty of oil paintings that are not much to look at.

Very casual clothing seems to be in vogue in an increasing number of venues. I'd not go to a mosque without a modesty covering, and I'd not go to a funeral in casual clothes.

Mona Lisa being one of them

I know it's the most valuable painting and all that but I'd not have it in the smallest room of my house

My mother as she grew older if you were out with her took to making personal remarks about the people around, in a very loud voice. She especially commented about women, their weight and size and what they were wearing. It was embarrassing. I always associated it with her ageing and I have resolved not to do it. So maybe when I am 90+ and don't really care I might agree with you grannyrebel17 but just now I'm keeping my gob shut, because I'm aware I'm not perfect and "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".
And big boobs are something you have to live with, you get used to men talking to them, but them putting someone off their breakfast is a new one.

I feel for you grannyrebel7. It’s what a lot of people would think, but maybe not say out loud as you have found to your cost.

Apropos of the funeral comment, we were surprised when we went to our first French funeral to find everyone very casually dressed, jeans etc. Some of the men were even wearing overalls. We felt out of place in our smart dark clothing,
