Need some help (with pics)

Are these too young for me?
I've put pics from the site and my pics

Dd says the red top is for a 19 year old
She likes the spotty one but I would have to wear a bra. Would nude work?

Or should I just stick to what I know
Dd persuaded me that I could wear high waist jeans and a crop top at 47!!!!

I don't think it is the age thing, I just don't think they are very flattering
Second one in particular looks pretty dated.

Floydthebarber · 05/07/2022 13:19

The spotty one works from the front but you can't wear a bra with it! The flower print one I just don't like the style of so am biased against it.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 05/07/2022 13:21

They're not flattering and that's not a reflection on your figure, they just look really cheap and do nothing for you.

TomAllenWife · 05/07/2022 13:21

Could I keep the jeans 🙏🏼

You look fab but really it's not a good look. You could look way more stylish.

chiffchaffchiff · 05/07/2022 13:25

I think they're a bit young, sorry. The cut isn't very flattering on either top but when a teenager wears it they'll just look effortless, like they aren't trying too hard. The red one looks like it could have been sat in your wardrobe for the last 15 years.

TomAllenWife · 05/07/2022 13:26

I love the honesty thank you Smile

They’re both not very nice. First one - absolutely no to a nude bra, it needs no bra

ssxond one - looks like you’re going to a ho down

yes to crop top and high wasted jeans, no to both those outfits

TomAllenWife · 05/07/2022 13:27

But jeans ok???

I'm trying to get away from skinnies
I've got a lovely pair of flares and these are a nice fit, cropped & high waisted

Excuse me they do not look a bit "young" for you, you look absolutely great. They fit you well, they look pretty and if you like them you should keep and wear them.

I'm in my twenties and there's no bloody way I'm stopping wearing skater dressed and high waisted skirts in my 40's!!

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 05/07/2022 13:30

I like the jeans, and they look good on you. I don't like either top.

I've been wearing short tops that just skim the top of high-waisted jeans, rather than properly cropped ones. I think that works better for 40-somethings (I am one!)

Dreamwhisper · 05/07/2022 13:30

Bit more constructive advice though - the jeans look great so keep those, and those would also look really good with a black sleeveless crop top too.

Dreamwhisper · 05/07/2022 13:32

Or sleeves - love this look

MRSAHILL · 05/07/2022 13:32

I know absolutely nothing about clothes and fashion but I think you look fantastic. The jeans look great and I love the top in the second lot of pictures. You look amazing.

CombatBarbie · 05/07/2022 13:32

Personally I think the spotty one looks great if you can sort the bra issue.

Where are the jeans from, they are lovely!

Yes 👍

Divebar2021 · 05/07/2022 13:40

Yes to the jeans. I’d like to see you with a simple black or white tank T shirt tucked in. Definitely no to a bra with the first top and no to the second top altogether.

Blackberrybunnet · 05/07/2022 13:43

Both a bit trashy on anyone over 19!

NashvilleQueen · 05/07/2022 13:46

I honestly think you look lovely in all of it. Trashy?! Is that a thing we say about women's clothes in 2022?

SirenSays · 05/07/2022 13:47

Keep the jeans! I think she's on the right track, you're definitely not too old for these styles I'm just not sure these particular tops are right.

Bunty55 · 05/07/2022 13:48

The jeans look great but the tops look trashy and cheap

warofthemonstertrucks · 05/07/2022 13:51

Jeans good.Spotty top good (get a stick on bra from amazon-I've got one for weekend with a backless dress and it's fine). Not as keen on second top just as it looks a bit frilly .

sunglassesonthetable · 05/07/2022 13:52

You have a great figure but agree with previous comments on the tops.

Keep the jeans! They're great!
