This weeks Woman magazine
Where do you stand on the age appropriate debate ladies? I would love to hear.
Whilst we are on this topic I thought I'd scout the High Street and see what short skirts they have to offer. First off I'm going with a bit of glitz and glamour for those Christmas drinks/parties. Love this blue one from Warehouse. I would wear with a Merino sweater, opaques and boots to tone the dressiness down a notch.
I will be getting my River Island leopard print skirt out over the festive period (which is sadly no longer available). However if you are partial to a bit of animal print this Motel skirt from Topshop is gorgeous!
Let's not forget that leopard print is a neutral.
More familiar ground for me (as I do already own a faux leather one). I adore this Topshop black vinyl skirt.....which would perfect with one of my many band tees!
Or! There is always this Mango one with the buckle detail.
Last but not least, more of a day-style mini but one you could really glam up with a velvet top and glittery boots for evening....thus making very much dual-purpose!
Are you still happy to get your legs out in your forties? Are there any trends you steer away from feeling they aren't age appropriate or are you with me on this and think as long as you are comfortable you will wear what you want?!
I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
I'm definitely one for trying new things and I actually feel more daring now I have hit 40. So if you feel comfortable why not is my new moto x
ReplyDeleteConfidence comes with age and experience doesn't it Lynne! I'm so happy to see some many women feel so positively about this! xx
DeleteHow fabulous to be featured, Michelle! Great article! I'm all for minis, as you know, and I wear lots of them, despite being 41. I've more confidence in how I look and dress now than ever before. As long as you feel comfortable and confident, go for it, I say! Lynne xx
ReplyDeleteMwah! Thank you Lynne....it's a funny thing to see yourself in print!
DeleteHaving the confidence to wear what you love and feel happy in is key! We look after ourselves these days and I think it's so hard to guess women's age these days isn't it....so why wouldn't we wear what we want! We girls have gotta go for it! xx
Fantastic article! I am a big fan of the mini skirt, I wear one most days and plan to long into the future (I'm 42 in a few weeks).
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.....and yay to mini skirts whatever our age! Happy Birthday in advance! xx
DeleteCongratulations on the article Michelle, just brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree that age is not a number & you should wear what makes you feel good.
