Glad you like the site and the chance to connect with women who think just like you. @ Gina I agree with you and having exchanged with you before on the subject of 40 plus dressing (if any one thinks of a better subject line let me know) I know you feel as I do that confidence is everything. Hi Lyn,

@ Gina

I agree with you and having exchanged with you before on the subject of 40 plus dressing (if any one thinks of a better subject line let me know) I know you feel as I do that confidence is everything.

It's great to see someone who is advocating common sense for all ages (I am 50+) where fashion is concerned. As for the mini, I have never worn them as I know that my legs are my least attractive feature, but Gina J you are so right, it is about deportment! I was a dancer so know all about holding yourself correctly, walking should be comfortable and effortless not a struggle in any get up! I prefer longer skirts, even though I'm only 5'2", but because I am walking comfortably (and correctly) they do not make me appear even smaller than I already am! Of course, knowing what suits and wearing it confidently is always a bonus, don't you just hate those peeps who are forever tugging their skirts down because they are feeling too exposed?? Proof that following fashion slavishly is not the answer at any cost or at any age! I am loving the site and your tips Caryn. Thank you! Lyn R. Shropshire What absolute sense you talk!

Age doesn't matter, although I think one should go for a little more coverage as one gets older. The cry of the 50+ that 'I've got a great pair of legs' - Cilla Black was one sadly, sometimes doesn't go with the visual. No, the issue at any age is (sorry to always go on about this) deportment. The sad sight of a well turned out woman lumping along or pecking along on pins like an ostrich (chin out, bum out, abdomen following underneath - aaagh) is an abomination. Walk properly and you'll look good in most things, and you'll look and feel more confident. I'm 60+ and continue to battle to walk like a dancer. It's important. Love the site Gina J Brixham Hi, just a quick thought about the mini for the older woman. Age doesn’t matter, although I think one should go for a little more coverage as one gets older.
