I am 49, do I win?

I have seven pairs of various colours/high or low tops
Today I was wearing darkish blue lows, no socks.
I wear them with Boden wrap dresses, with jeans, with summer trousers, with floaty dresses, with everything. I am VERY jealous of the poster above who wore hers with her wedding dress...why didn't I think of that?

DD had a go at borrowing them and even bought some for herself, but went off them and I won some of hers as well :)

45, I have about 3 wearable pairs and 6 old pairs with holes in I just can't throw away

I bought my second ever pair of Converse last year, when I was 32. Ended up selling them though, exactly as I had done my first pair a few years before, as they make my feet look big - despite only being a size 3. I just can't get the hang of wearing them.

  1. I also had them when I was a teen.
