the mn style shop presents middle aged adn mumsy? how to get your groove back

[TheFish]

all suggestions welcome!

1. apply body lotion every day

agree, puddle. I've just bought a rather wild pair of suede high heel wedges from clarks originals in a lovely purpley pink shade

Bundle are you the Camper woman?
Am sure we have talked boots before - those sound fantastic.

oh yes indeedy, puddle

ironically (given my leftie tendencies) my new shoes are called Mrs T!

I bought those too bundle - hope you got them in the sale?

I went to the Camper shop, hotel and bar in barcelona in the summer. Thought I'd died and gone to shoe heaven.

.

flat black mary janes from clarks (£25 ), so comfy and vaguely trendy. showing a bit of cleavage under my dress too (one of those built-in-support black vests under my dress, which is a sort of petrel blue colour)

oh yes, welshmum, deffo in sale

I really wanted the green pair as sister had bought pink but hoping pink will go well with brown stuff I have.

black m&s opaque tights, the diagonal ones, it was bloody freezing this morning and think i need a single colour on legs iykwim

the green were lovely too, but have been switched onto pink by dd's

they're the top shop cropped leggings and I can't remember when my legs were brown, so opted out of the milk bottle legs on show

Have same problem with dd too, especially when attending children's parties - great pressure wear pink and sparkly things so go out looking like Christmas tree.

am not sure about Camper
svere danger of turning up in the Same Shoes as Every One Else
which should not bother me but does

eh? i would have thought there would be less chance with camper than say with saxone

Need to go shopping with you bundle - not only am I drawn to exactly the same shoes but I think I've part nicked your christmas name apologies (can't face the hard work of thinking up another one)

i think it was flossam who coined it for me, so I take none of the credit and don't mind at all..

you are most gracious...are you also a Top Shop addict?

hmmm i have a few ts pieces but feel a bit old for all that now (40)

I'm 42.....and should know better

This started off as a really encouraging thread with things that I could do to feel and look less jaded. Then somewhere in the middle it seemed to turn into 'clothes that look horrible or are out of style'. I can't believe how much money some people spend on clothes (eg jeans)There must be others who are out there who also have very little money to spend on clothes but still look the biz. C'mon girls, how do you do this on a budget? I am size 22-24 so that makes life slightly complicated too....
