I have possibly made (yet another) style faux pas.. lace leggings and dark lipstick

[Lulumama]

Is it too much for a woman of my advanced years? is gothy make up bad? are lace leggings mutton?

i don;t think so !! Will find links to the offending (or not) items..

to be worn with black dress and shoes. silver accesories

if i wore black tights under the leggings so they looked less lacy, would that be better, or should i jsut ditch the leggings?

i should stick to boden

I like the lipstick but not with full goth eyes as well!

no, would just have fine line of black liquid eyeliner and mascara, like i usually wear.

lipstick is fab, you could lighten it up a bit by wearing a tiny bit of gloss on top. those leggins would look fab under a wool jumper dress

a boden wool jumper dress?

ok, am feeling a bit less faux pas-y

Leggings are great - I would wear them with big boots and a dress.

so i'm not too old then?

thank you all very mcuh for your comments x

I love both and am older than you!The leggings are gorgeous for under dresses i am off to get a pair tomorrow!Cheers xx

It really depends on if that is all you're wearing...

ah, the noddy seal of approval!

flame, i am a sensible old lady, i will be wearing a thermal vest with it of course!!

like lipstick
have an aversion to lace generally

Just as long as you wear a skirt over the leggings unlike the rather large woman at the supermarket last week. Even more unsettling she had decided for her own obscure reasons that commando was the way to go [boak]

i shall be wearing Big Granny Pants.

i did also have an aversion to lace, but do like the look of these leggings

I got the lace body from topshop and I think I'm fab in it (probably mutton)
my lips are too small for gothy lipstick so I stick with gothy eyes pale lips
lace leggings good I think in the right circs

oh and I wear a little nude vest from m&s under the body so you could wear ordinary tights under the leggings if you were worried about cellulite hanging out

(I would be)

thanks ron, is xmas day the right circs for lace leggings.

Lipstick is fab. Leggings too close to the hideous old scratchy pair I had as a sartorially-challenged 18 year old, so made me shudder a bit, but I'm sure you'll look good in them

dress i'm going to wear is just above the knee s o will cover the lumpy bits.

thanks cyteen, that made me snort!

I think so lulu they'll go down very well in some areas...my dh becomes quite unnecessary in the face of perfectly decents women clad in lace

i have a feeling my Dh will be the same.

its funny isnt it when you arenet sure about clothing
you dither anddither tehn in abotu 3 months everyone is wearing it
you need to just have confidence.

am out tonight in sequins.
