Am I too old for this?

Came upon this top in Zara today:

www.zara.com/uk/en/woman/t-shirts/short-sleeve/floral-embroidered-top-c401008p4588508.html

It was love at first sight, surprising even myself as this is about how far removed from my usual style as you can get.

I'm 32 yo, 5 ft 7, a size 10-12. Be brutally honest, could I get away with something so sheer at my age (ideally would love to wear it without a cami underneath as it would spoil the look somehow)? Or would I look like a mutton? Not planning to wear it anywhere near work, obviously.

I'm late 30s, 5.3", size 6 and I'd wear it Blush not sure if that helps

You're 32, not 92. If you like it then wear it

QueenMortificado · 29/05/2017 16:36

32 and worried about looking like mutton?! Nah mate.

If you like it wear it & don't give a fuck what anyone thinks!

Thanks ladies, you gave me the motivational kick I needed.
Off to Zara tomorrow!

With just a bra underneath? You will look like you forgot your vest.

samatamfabahaba · 29/05/2017 16:43

You're 32!!! You cannot use phrases like "at my age" yet!! Christ on a bike woman!! Get out there and get it bought, immediately. I would!

SinglePringle · 29/05/2017 16:44

Buy it and wear it without a camisole or vest It's lovely.

LuluLovesFruitcakes · 29/05/2017 16:47

Wear it!! Never too old!

loveliesbleeding1 · 29/05/2017 16:56

I think it would look nicer with a cami/vest underneath . It's a great top.

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 29/05/2017 17:58

With a camisole. That applies to any age. The visible bra spoils it.

neveradullmoment99 · 29/05/2017 18:25

I agree with lass. Not with a bra. Too cheap at any age. With a little black cami - yes.

Oldraver · 29/05/2017 21:12

I'm over 50 and would wear it...with a cami underneath though

AuntieStella · 29/05/2017 21:14

Check your mirror, not your calendar.

Vonklump · 29/05/2017 21:15

32? Sniff. You're just showing off. Come back in ten years and ask us.

Or in sixty years apparently!

Nospringflower · 29/05/2017 21:22

I dont think its age but i wouldnt. Camisole under would be much better look but if you do wear it with just a bra you need to feel good with your belly on show!
