[Nightblindness]

I'm looking for inspiration. Thanks.

I also bought it in the denim.....

Also:

Those are my two main purchases this year, along with a basic cotton white and a navy v-neck T-shirt from White Co.

Oh, also this bikini:

I am 58, so not quite in your age range but close.

I would have preferred a different colour but this was the only one in my size that was reduced

This dress plus dresses and cotton and linen shorts from Temu

I’ve been distracted and slow this year, so will be wearing stuff from last Summer until I’m forced to order anything new. Two scarcely worn 2023 things (click for full picture if interested):

(Those models look remarkably similar. They’re absolutely not me!)

And three shapes I have my eye on for this year - not necessarily these actual pieces:

Quilted denim jacket, 3 T-shirt dresses, Toms.
A pair of white linen trousers.
We are going on holiday next week.

Nearly 63, I'm 5ft 4in and a size 12. Some of what I've bought is for my holiday in July which I think will be really hot.

A bit of a theme here, but I like a black dress in summer (its the first time I've bought from Nobody's Child).

this co ord for my holiday - I have another from WNU from last year.

These Mary Janes

A couple of hats - by the end of the summer I'll have wrecked them.

What I'll probably buy in the next month or so: trousers, a couple of summer tops and maybe another pair of birks. I'm also looking at the dresses in ME and EM.

Love green for summer.

64 and 5'4". Bought these jeans from Anyday:

https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-anyday-hoxton-mom-jeans/p5798013

...and I have my eye on some chunky sandals from Timberland. Meanwhile I've ordered a pair of Soulcal laceup plimsolls.

I struggle with footwear in summer because I walk a lot but dislike trainers. And I have wide, fat small feet.

I don't wear dresses and I dislike the look of (most) linen.

Bought a long puffy gilet from Superdry in the sale yesterday.

This is a lovely relaxed look. I'm doing the whole cowgirl look with it, linen plain shirts/t-shirts from last year and a belt.

https://www.massimodutti.com/gb/leather-effect-dyed-midi-skirt-l05233523#colorId=742&style=1

I hate the sleeve length on most t-shirts because I have amazonian shoulders (I can easily look matronly) but these sleeves are super short and don't make my shoulders look like I left the coat hanger in. Also not as thin/see through like some of their other t-shirts which I had to send back.

I think it's this suit I bought although it fits differently than on the model - I bought 36 in the trousers but 38 in the jacket so it doesn't swamp me like some of their suits. It's also not really greyish green as described - more blue. Very nice heavy weight linen. Laid back smart look for work.

This with jeans from last year, but badly tucked in to look scruffy.

Normally find The Fold frumpy but this was my first (probably only) purchase from them and it's very nice. Bought the extra small even though I'm usually a medium on top and it's not tight.

That's me done until Autumn. I wear clothes for years so have plenty of old stuff.

If I had endless money and an occasion to wear this, I would buy it, but there's no way that's happening.

65 years old.
Loving Kompromatilda's stuff upthread.

65, 5ft 5inches size 16 - Still working full time, travelling 3 hours into the office a couple of times a week so need very easy non faff clothes.

https://www.monsoon.co.uk/zannah-print-shirt-dress-green-10015840008.html Arrived yesterday, heavier fabric than anticipated but I have a low waist and this looks good on.

Waist is (as always for me) a bit high, but it looks good on. I'm binge watching a series set in the 1950's and loving the tea dress look.

https://www.sugarhillbrighton.com/collections/dresses/products/fiona-batik-midi-shirt-dress-teal-green-painted-floral - bought 2 of their dresses last year, fabulous prints (green leaf / big sunflowers) and had a couple of compliments from strangers ... Very easy wear.

Footwear is a problem - I can't wear flats, have a (gag) calcification build up on the back of one of my heels so neutral slightly heeled mules are my lunchtime browse ..

Just following really....bit younger 55 and size 14 and 5'7" but you seem to all have a style...which I am lacking.

Are you buying things you love, @BigDahliaFan?

I'm holding off as I'm losing weight at moment and hope to fit back into some old loved summer clothes and also to see where I settle weight wise before the summer properly starts...(if it does).

68, size 14 just bought these, they are lovely quality https://www.marksandspencer.com/harper-cigarette-ankle-grazer-jeans/p/clp60590909#intid=pid_pg1pip7g4r2c2

I’m slightly too young at 58 but hope ok to post I just bought this cheap skirt for summer, I’m a size 8 for ref and will wear with trainers/pumps and a loose top. It’s from Peacocks. Also bought a loose fitting navy jumpsuit but it was from a little indeoendant boutique so no online pic. Quite wide legs and lovely very soft cotton.

I’m 67 and work full time, mostly from home but sometimes from the London office which is full of young fashionable people. I’ve bought a few new bits below but honestly don’t need much, I have loads. I want a pair of flatform sandals but just sent a pair back I didn’t like so still on the lookout. I need the height but don’t wear heels anymore and don’t like myself in trainers with skirts as I don’t have the skinniest of ankles. I find wide leg trousers really flattering and during the winter have worn with blouses, knitted tanks and chunky trainers.

I've bought six linen Next dresses off Vinted for around £30.00, great to wear as they are non clingy and keep me cool. Various patterns and I dress them up for night, more casual in the day. I've also purchase some lovely wise leg trouse in gree, blue and gold from Tu wear with a green Bardot top or Next linen waistcoat type top. Remember it's not about how much you spend it's how you wear it, happy shopping 😁

I discovered Luca Vanucci last year and have these two dresses plus a white with navy spots one - lovely flattering shape, cool and very comfortable to wear - the blouse I bought this year too.

A couple of lovely Larissa shirts from Seasalt - the crinkly ones..

I am early 60s size 16 top 18 bottom

I'm short and all bottom and boobs. Short waisted , so not much body if you know what I mean.
Sorry no pics, but personal shopper at John Lewis of some help.

I’m a bit fatter than usual at the moment so feel very grumpy about buying summer clothes. I have bought these from M&S in the pale green and they are nice.

and a pale pink and pale blue linen shirt.

Have a load of cotton and linen dresses left from the last few summers so really don’t need much.

67 retired rather rural living in canada where local shopping is near impossible. 5'3 and currently 152lbs :(
those who have posted posted some gorgeous links!.
i've done a wardrobe refresh with a new swim suit Miraclesuit® Sanibel Tankini - Tropical Floral | Talbots
because i loved the cover-up Eyelet Lace Shell Cover-Up Dress | Talbots
and since i'm embracing the wide leg trend these trousers Lightweight Woven Stretch Utility Pants | Talbots and FOUR t-shirts Dot Trim Split Neck Tee | Talbots

now i'm on the hunt for the right shoes, i think the white sneaker trend is fine and dandy BUT having worked for 30 years as a nurse i can't quite get over the shift work nursey vibe it gives me and again shopping mainly online i don't know how the various brands feel for long walks? i was thinking tory burch? i own clarks neela and they fit perfect.

Very inspired by these looks!
