@RampantIvy I was suggesting them for @Yalta though as she described herself as very short !

Yes, I realised that. I thought it have helped to illustrated what the length would be on someone my height to give some perspective.

@RampantIvy Fair enough!

I follow some people on LTK they show you outfit ideas all the time. Then there are link to where to buy too. Most are really young but I find a few closer to my age really helpful. like I purchased this dress. https://liketk.it/4DP5Y

I'm 61, 5'8", size 14/16. I have only bought this dress from M&S in black for the summer, in the long length. It's very similar to one Me+Em has done, and is a style that suits my body shape.
The only other thing I'm looking for is a pair of tan leather low wedge sandals. Ordered 2 pairs so far & all have gone back as rubbed as soon as I tried them on. Back to the searching!

Oooh that looks nice, I have 2 of the ME+EM ones and wear them constantly in summer.

Just bought this in the Crew clothing new 25% sale. Saw it in the shop, but they didn’t have my size.

This camel longline cardigan is so versatile I wore with navy top and wide leg navy trousers
looks just as good with white leggings and top

Firstly a crochet skirt that seems to be causing lots of consternation from, whispers...... Primark. I've been looking for a cotton elasticated skirt & this covers all the bases.
Secondly a linen cream Wrap of London dress from Tk Maxx. Fits me perfectly & a style they've done several times over the years.

I'll be 60 in November - have no idea how that's happened. I'm 5' 4" and a 12ish.

I really love this skirt that @Applesonthelawn posted - but not the price! Has anyone seen anything similar but cheaper please? And @GirlOfThe70s you've cost me £50 - I just bought that white River Island dress!

Ive just bought 2 dresses from tiktok of all places <sorry> They were ridiculously cheap so I was dubious re quality but actually they're fine.

I always struggle with shoes though and the last couple of summers have basically lived in black fit flops.

I bought this skirt and this blouse from Zara. Really struggled to find anything I like anywhere right now!

I bought this dress to wear to my son's graduation. Very different to anything I have in my wardrobe, and it looks very different on 5ft 3 plus size me to the model- but I love it.

There are some lovely clothes on here. I'm almost 65 but haven't anything to add, given that I tend to live in a denim skirt and tee shirts in the summer, or plain linen dresses. Smile

Rina66 · 26/05/2024 13:30

58 here and loving co-ords at the moment, so I've bought one black and cream trouser style one, one beige linen shorts with a matching linen top.
Confession time.......I've also bought some Crocs H sandals as my feet always hurt in sandals now, but these are a dream to wear, please don't ban me from S & B!

I tried this skirt on today, really lovely design and quality. Unfortunately I didn't feel good in it because I'm not slim enough for it. A couple of stone lighter and it would've hung better and I would definitely have bought it.

Goals!

@user3344556

All that is lovely. Out of my price range sadly. I don't mind paying extra for quality as I know my Zara purchases won't last long, but those prices are beyond my purse. Good for inspiration though.

Love those Mango dresses @JaffaCake70 - I have Mango things in my wardrobe that are over 10 years old and still look current
