A couple of people said I looked so much younger. This got me thinking about dressing/styling my age. I often dress like a "granny" (my husband's words... not mine!) He doesn't like my vintage clothing collection. For the most part I keep it young though. I think its a time where we can celebrate our youth. We'll have a lifetime to dress like older ladies:)Tea Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032645337598906533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495220275354456663.post-88582028050378159542008-10-10T13:40:00.000+11:002008-10-10T13:40:00.000+11:00I do worry about looking older sometimes when I we...I do worry about looking older sometimes when I wear vintage - but I have never looked at your outfits and thought 'Nana!' :) I guess longer hem lengths might be what prompt people to think of an outfit as being 'older', but I really like a longer hem - I know this is a different view from a lot of vintage-wearers, who seem to chop length off dresses regularly. I also think people confuse looking like a lady with looking older.<BR/><BR/>I'm rambling. In summary - you look lovely. :DAndrea Eameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304706719936895188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495220275354456663.post-37561649438217566302008-10-10T11:20:00.000+11:002008-10-10T11:20:00.000+11:00I think it's simply unusual to see someone as youn...I think it's simply unusual to see someone as young as yourself dressed in such a ladylike way. Rather than your dress sense aging you, I think many young women don't have as strong a sense of style as yourself and are therefore swayed by trends, many of which can be unfortunate looking.<BR/><BR/>Stay you!

You don't look like a Nana though.<BR/><BR/>And yet you don't look like a lot of 'Young Girls'. You don't, for example, saunter around in Roxy minis and Supre boobtubes, which is what apparently classifies a young dress sense these days. <BR/><BR/>In any event, I <3 your style.

I have to say, I really don't think any of your outfits age you or are nana-ish. <BR/><BR/>I do find different peoples reactions to outfits fascinating. Yesterday I was wearing a high waisted, pleated kneelength silver brocade skirt my mum made for me. The people I work with looked at me like I was insane but on my home I got many appreciative smiles and even a few nice comments.

In another outfit the jacket would be as young and fresh as a daisy, but here it's definitely bringing on the premature age. That said, I never think you look like a nanna usually, just an elegant young lady melbourne!Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11956978624939655725noreply@blogger.com
