Just saw a 60 plus woman looking great.

[randomer]

in a dropped waist black dress, black boots, chunky but not ridiculous nice scarf( not frumpy), short funky grey hair. Cross body bag.

I have lost it, if indeed I ever had it and look like a sag of spuds. Yes a sag of spuds. Just that.

[HollyandIvyandallthingsYule]

It’s never too late to do things differently! If you want to look more put together, you absolutely can.

[justanotherneighinparadise]

She’s probably in her 50s 🤭

[clary]

I always wish I could take a pic of ppl who look great, but it might look a bit odd, so I don't.

Op I am sure you bear no resemblance to spuds. How old are you? What would improve how you feel about your looks - hair cut and colour, some new clothes, new shoes? Tricky arm but still sort of possible!

[clary]

tricky ATM fgs

[Floisme]

Yes we walk among you.
What can we help you with?

[JMAngel1]

I have a 62 year old neighbour who I am agog at whenever I see her. She is sooooo cool. Really tanned, gorgeous curly asymmetric hair cut, tan leather accessories, leather wrist bands, voluminous skirts/dresses with teeny tiny cropped leather or denim jackets. Cross body bag always. Stompy boots. No make up to speak of except a statement lip.

[JMAngel1]

Of course you walk among us - some might say, stride ahead
Especially you @Floisme

[gindinner]

@JMAngel1 I wan to lol I o neighbour so much. I'm in my 50s and wear dms, cross body bag, but some how never quite look cool. Just dishevelled and harried

[gindinner]

I want to look like your neighbour....I don't know what happened there

[OwlOne]

That outfit sounds very unflattering!

Was she very tall?

[Bluntness100]

@justanotherneighinparadise

She’s probably in her 50s 🤭

Weird, I’d have said likely in her seventies but as she looked great she looked younger

Why would you think a woman looking great must be looking old for her age? That makes no sense, unless you’re being mean. And I can’t understand why you’d be mean just at the thought of a woman looking great.

[randomer]

@OwlOne, I'd say maybe 5'7"?

[OwlOne]

Ah right yeh tall.
It is harder to look stylish when you're short.

I wear lovely clothes but they only ever look "ok" 😭

[16purplecolour16]

I just turned 58 and I’m looking the best I ever have, not ground down or harried. No stealth boast here. I’m able to eat a healthy diet so have lost 10lbs; stopped eating refined sugar after a lifetime’s addiction so lost my jowls; left a key worker job which was so stressful; left my DH and I’ve let my hair grow in lockdown style. If I could tolerate wearing a bra (34k), I would feel positively Amazonian.

I think it is harder to look stlish when you are short, unless you are doing that elfin thing.

[Terralee]

My NDN is nearly 70 but still works nearly full time.
She's also a biker.
She's a size 8-10, olive skin & long dark hair, wears mini skirts or long floaty hippy skirts with biker boots & vest tops; or skinny jeans, or leather trousers, cropped denim or biker jackets & plenty of silver jewellery.
She always looks great. She always has men chasing her...
I would be jealous despite being 30 years younger but she's a really nice person too!

[OwlOne]

Yeh i think kylie minogue who is only 5'0 looks v stylish but i once read that she was 7 stone. 😮

Im a more robust 9 stone 4 and 5'1"

Hardly overweight medically and im not complaining much but it takes a lot more thought and trying on and sending back to the shop and trying with a different belt or higher heeled boots etc

[randomer]

robust? Yes thats one word for me.

[Craftycorvid]

I shamelessly rubberneck at anyone I spot looking great - and if I get caught, I smile broadly and tell them I couldn’t help but look at their fab’ outfit - never offended anyone yet!

I’m short and, I like to think, still stylish. I’m also over 50. I think enjoying getting dressed and having fun with your clothes is the place to start. A little more than ten years ago I was carrying too much weight for a shortie and dressing in various versions of a linen potato sack. There was a day of reckoning when I thought ‘what I project is what I’ll be’ and promptly started wearing more fitted clothes, acting as if I felt confident even when not. I did lose weight and, post-meno’, seem to be keeping it off. I think my (rambling) point is wear what makes you feel great and the rest will follow.

[OwlOne]

Yes, i enjoy clothes and make up and earrings. Not in a vain way, but it's an expression, a signature.
One of my favourite times of my day is making my coffee and the putting on my makeup! 😍👸💃

[AsCoolAsKimDeal]

I often see older women looking very stylish, though I suspect they always have. I aspire

[Gatekeeper]

this was me in Aldi the other day....women in front of me feeling the apples looked so bloody good I almost crooned over her. Iron grey hair, light tan, fab lipstick, trench coat, gorgeous silver earrings and battered brown leather boots

I'm just too tubby and jowly to look good

[KatharinaRosalie]

The women I know who look great when in their 60s-70s are all massive fitness fanatics. If you're in shape and have a great posture then that makes a massive difference when getting older.

Sack of spuds?! I like sag, though.

[randomer]

It started as a typo and then I thought actually sag of spuds is right!

Tubby but not jowly of Milton Keynes.
