The lady has bleached blonde hair, it's not white.

lovelymcjubbly · 08/11/2016 15:33

Mid fifties

Grannysmithy · 08/11/2016 15:33

57? Lovely picture by the way

NKFell · 08/11/2016 15:35

Mid 40s...no way is that woman in the pic in her 60s- I'd be Shock if she is.

Sosidges · 08/11/2016 15:35

You look a stunning 58 year old. Are you asking because you have just gone blonde?

QuimReaper · 08/11/2016 15:36

ILost Shock Is your boss Gilderoy Lockhart? I am cringing so hard at someone actually asking that! How did he bring it up? Was he just gazing wistfully at himself in a compact mirror and came out with it?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 08/11/2016 15:37

I can't work out if some of you need a trip to spec savers or are enjoying being harsh.

Aoibhe · 08/11/2016 15:37

😂😂😂 at the possibility of her being 19-24 and came on here for reassurance that she doesn't look older 😂😂😂

SuperFlyHigh · 08/11/2016 15:37

So to the poster who said I was jealous saying they should post here, no I'm not, not by any means... I'm lucky in that on mum's side of family we all look at least 10 years younger... generally. but we look after ourselves too or try to.

This sort of post generally as I said before is posted by someone wanting to validate how good she looks, attention seeking if you will. Most other forums slap you down for this - Mrs Gloss is kinder. But if you require the opinions of a few people on the internet to boost your confidence then so be it.

Maudlinmaud · 08/11/2016 15:37

Well this is weird Confused

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 08/11/2016 15:38

No chance 60's - late forties to very early fifties. C'mon OP - tell us!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 08/11/2016 15:38

OP?

IneedAdinosaurNickname · 08/11/2016 15:39

People always say my mum looks amazing and "so young" for her age. But I think you look younger than her and she's 56.
So gonna say early 50s Confused

SuperFlyHigh · 08/11/2016 15:39

ok being kinder now - you remind me of Gloria Hunniford in a good way, I do like the earrings.

sorry but can see under eye bags, lines but you do look good and you have a good face/bone structure, nice hair and nice smooth skin. whatever you're doing, you look well. you have a cracking smile too.

MummyToOneGirl · 08/11/2016 15:40

Just tell us how old you are Bertha I won't sleep tonight otherwise!

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 08/11/2016 15:41

I'd be careful of saying you look ten years younger - I know someone who insists this is the case but when I showed their photo to a couple of other people, they guessed five years older. How is much different from posting a new profile pic on FB?

SuperFlyHigh · 08/11/2016 15:42

Ineed my mum's neighbour who is 80 going on 50 (in looks) looks young partly down to attitude (tireless charity work, always on the go) but she gets a modern haircut, wears knee length skirts a lot (only got one pair of jeans) and always looks brilliantly put together and on trend.

My mum's other friend in her 80s she wears her hair grey but a good cut and not short but longer and wears on trend jewellery in funky colours like lime green. She also knows what suits her eg white jeans and nice tops and blazer jackets.

My mum is 75 but looks 55-60 - young looking attitude and same with clothes.

PoppyPicklesPenguin · 08/11/2016 15:42

Advance search shows your in your 50's

Have to say I only advance searched as seemed such an odd post and wondered if someone had just randomly posted a picture of someone for amusement purposes...

It's all very strange

TheCompanyOfCats · 08/11/2016 15:42

45?

Loyly · 08/11/2016 15:44

58

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 08/11/2016 15:45

Ahhh, yes Poppy, you're right.

PCDC · 08/11/2016 15:45

60

MsMarvel · 08/11/2016 15:46

The OP will never come back. I think late 50s.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 08/11/2016 15:46

poppy You cheated! (flounces off - but not before place-marking)
