Each week I am sent an email magazine called "Weekly Wrinkle". It is full of wonderful ideas and tips for ladies of a certain age, very much "Wisdom for women in just a few lines".
This week one of the topics under discussion is the eternal question "Do I look good in this ?"
Really don't ask your husband as you will have been invisible to him for a long time. On the whole women admit that they like dressing up for other men to notice them ( in a gentle flirtatious way) and for other women to admire their new outfit/hairstyle/eyelash extensions etc.
But when do we become "Mutton Dressed as Lamb" ?
There comes a time according to a Daily Mail survey when you should stop wearing certain clothes, of course the results vary depending on your body and attitude to life.
Bikini 47 - but what about Dame Helen Mirren and her red bikini at 62.
Mini skirt 35 - yes but ok for longer if worn with opaque tights, and of course depends on the legs.
Excessively high heels 51 - no too young, as long as you don t walk like Dick Emery in drag.
Knee high boots 47 - oh no I love mine.
Leather trousers 35 - oh no I will have to give them to my 19 year old daughter
Leggings 45 - only ever in the gym
Ugg boots 15 - I agree or else you will look like a bag lady
Long hair 53 - it depends on the hair, unkempt grey locks a real no no.
See through anything - always with utter discretion and the correct undergarments.
The list is rather fun and open to much discussion, and I would recommend signing up to the Weekly Wrinkle team
