in , put and ok for this season

[cod]

out..
high strappy sandals
stripey jumpers

botocut trousers
boho belts
wrap dresses
military jackets

I bought a wide belt years ago and it's still fab. Don't really know how to wear it, though, so haven't. Will NEVER give up my bootcut trousers. Skinny jeans just don't look good on me. And personally, I think they're yucky past a certain age. I mean, did anyone see that 10 Year Younger trying to pull those off. Yikes! It wasn't pretty - well, neither is she.

how do you know though?

I am so crap at fashion

Well cod you have just proved to me how very out of touch I am. Some of the things that I thought were coming in are actually already out (eg stripey jumpers).

And how can cropped trousers be a new fashion? They were all over the place in the winter and last summer.

Nbg, I have them, they are great but I can't walk in them, just loved them as doon as I saw them.
And polka dots! Am the queen of polka dots and will be digging out all my stuff from years gone by

Lovely, northerner, but the hem's a touch too high for my age, methinks.

No, Nbg, I don't. Especially not for £35

Ooooh MM am

How big is the heel?

Lovely northerner - but with expat - my days of wearing that length are loooooooooong gone...

Didn't like them when I saw the pic but actually they'd prob look great with jeans. I like these

Oooh I like Northener.
Very nice!

Very short though northerner. I would like it with skinny jeans on me but then would need to wear a heel or I would look like I had no legs.

about 3 inches I think. I'm used to trainers though

well, that's handy to know, because I still haven't got round to buying
a stripey jumper
a wrap dress
a boho belt, or indeed anything boho

and I have left over from years ago
a skinny patent belt
some flat boots

Will be turning down pinafores and all varieties of cropped legwear though. Also empire line anything, which makes me look humungous.

Cod - the Fashionable Fish

No NBG I don't like those pumps either.

Expatinscotland - how old are you?!!!!

35, northerner. I don't do minis anymore. Or anything above the knees.

Love clam-diggers capri pants but don't think I can get away with them being very gifted in the norkage dept. Damn they're my fave thing too!

V. expensive shoes though for what they are meggmoo - the principles ones I mean.

I like them as well MM.

They look like they're suede, they must be for £45.

Whats the rule for skirts above the hem? Is it no if over 30?

oh fgs.
i will wear what i like. and look halfway decent in. who the hell are some stupid magazines to dictate what i can and cant wear.

but still lovely though and quite unusual. I'm after some cheapish red patent ballet pumps. Any ideas??

I'm not sure, northerner, but it looks tasteless on 35+, IMO.

If I got a pinafore dress I just know I would commit the faux pas of accidentally dressing me and 1 yo DD the same. I have sometimes got to about 3 pm and realised that we are both wearing jeans and pink tops and thought "argh"! Or cord skirts and polo necks.

And I have a baker boy hat and every time I wear it DD insists on wearing hers as well.
